It's possible, but not certain, that your patch ended up in the SF patch
manager -- the patches list was 'moved' there to improve patch-handling, but
your patch might have been missed in the move. If it was moved, it's pretty
likely it was accepted as-is or used as the basis of another patch. You can
try browsing through the entire list of patches, but that's a pretty big
list. You can also download the CVS tree and see if it includes your patch,
or at least adresses the same issues as your patch did (you can 'view' the
CVS tree without downloading it at sourceforge:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi?cvsroot=python

You can find the rest of the information here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/python

Depending on when your patch was accepted (before or after the move to
BeOpen) it might or might not be included in the 1.6b1 release which is
expected sometime today. (again :)
