[Python-Dev] Issue 1170: Unicode for ‘shlex’

["Martin v. Löwis"]

> What is the procedure for finding out why an issue hasn't progressed?

It's fairly simple: just read through the issue, and it should be
obvious. In the specific case, no committer has ever commented on
the issue, so chances are high that no committer has ever *seen*
the issue.

And likely, posting to the issue won't be a way to find out, since no
committer would see your comment.

> In the case of <URL:http://bugs.python.org/issue1170> (“shlex have

Apparently, or really? Did you review the patch?
