Quoting Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun@divmod.com>:
Patches that remove usage of the string module will surely be accepted. :)
It would be good : I count 94 occurences of string import in the trunk. I'll open a topic.
Patches that introduce object as a base class may not be. Classic classes behave differently than new-style classes. It is not always possible to replace the former with the latter while maintaining API compatibility.
Ok, thanks for your answer. I miss new-style class for mainly one thing : the automatic __init__, great for subclasses. -- Thomas
