Assigned by the author, because I apparently offered him some advice I no

I don't know if feature requests for Roundup are still being accepted, but I

tickets they own.  My primary goal in life is not to close Python bugs and
patches, so I hope people will understand if I don't think on a Thursday
evening, "Gee, I think I'll drop by SourceForge and see what work I have to
do tonight".
