+1 from me, but I see Trent Mick contributed an identical patch almost a
month ago:

    http://www.python.org/pipermail/patches/2000-May/000769.html

+ Is there any way to search the patches archive directly (only way I know
is to go to the main python.org search page, and check the "SIG archives"
box, and that too often turns up way too many irrelevant hits from archives
other than patches)?

+ Directed mostly to my PythonLabs co-conspirators:  what can we do to clean
up the patches mess?  I'm scanning the archives, and have no idea what has &
hasn't been checked in, or, when I do <wink>, no idea which of the
unchecked-in patches should be checked in.  Before Guido's honeymoon there
was talk of assigning areas of responsibility, and I don't see any other way
to make progress:  someone has to own the problems.  Implying we also need
to assign an owner to each patch that comes in.

+ This mailing list doesn't work.  At least the SourceForge patch manager
has an "assigned to" slot, a per-patch discussion history, and a status
classification (open, accepted, etc).  I'm sure it sucks in ways I don't
know about yet (I do know that the interface is s-l-o-w), but better the
devil you don't know ...
