What's the chance of having support added to the storbinary and storlines to support callback, just like retrbinary and retrlines has, for Python 2.6? There's a patch for this at http://bugs.python.org/issue1221598 but it hasn't seemed to generate much enthusiasm. I've had at least one instance where I've needed this, and monkey-patched in this patch to get the functionality. It's also just plain odd that the file transfer capability is not symmetrical; is there any reason why callback capability is considered important for downlaods, but not for uploads?

For something like this it requires a core developer to take enough interest to spend their time and energy on it (I have not looked at the patch but I assume it is done in a backwards-compatible fashion). For new functionality like that means either personal interest of the core developer or enough people saying they want the feature to motivate a core developer to put the time in just to be nice. -Brett
