I have volunteered to be the Patch Czar (see the PEP!) for the 2.0.1 release
Great!
So please, let me know of bugfixes that you need or want in Python 2.0.
In addition to your procedures (which are all very reasonable), I'd like to point out that Tim has created a 2.0.1 patch class on the SF patch manager. I hope you find the time to review the patches in there (which should not be very difficult at the moment). This is meant for patches which can't be proposed in terms of 'cvs diff' commands; for mere copying of code from the mainline, this is probably overkill. Also note that I have started to give a detailed analysis of what exactly has changed in the NEWS file of the 2.0 maintainance branch - I'm curious to know what you think about procedure. If you don't like it, feel free to undo my changes there. Regards, Martin

Regardless of what Moshe thinks, *I* think that's a great idea. I hope that Moshe continues this. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

I will, I think this is a good idea too. I'm still working on a log to detail the patches I intend to backport (some will take some effort because of several major overhauls I do *not* intend to backport, like reindentation and string methods) I already trimmed it down to 200-something patches I'm going to think of integrating, and I'm now making a second pass over it. -- "I'll be ex-DPL soon anyway so I'm |LUKE: Is Perl better than Python? looking for someplace else to grab power."|YODA: No...no... no.
