All this is done to match what Perl does. :-(

Saw it.  Thanks!

let me suggest patches...  If these work, please check them in:

A more subtle way of stating my opinion could be: if we were to do
something in the standard distribution about the problems that this is
addressing, I think we would do it in a much more direct fashion,
e.g. by making the appropriate enquiry functions directly accessible.

Updating patches on SF

WTF is going on?  I did successfully update one of my patches but
now that feature no longer seems to work.  I get the message:

   Patch Uploaded Successfully Added Patch Could Not Send Patch Update 

and the old patch remains.

Re: Updating patches on SF

Killing the disk and memory cache seemed to fix the problem.

Look at b_setitem() in arraymodule.c.

proper CVS usage is a must! (was: CVS: python/dist/src/Objects unicodeobject.c,2.31,2.32)

This is symptomatic of people not being careful with their CVS usage.

*ALWAYS* do a "cvs update" before any commits. If the file has changed while
you're working on it, CVS will merge the changes in with yours. You will be
notified if there were any conflicts.

But this is a MUST. We've seen this reversal of changes twice now. Only
through the careful eye of some -checkins watchers has that fact turned up.
If those people weren't watching, we'd be lost.

If you're going to commit changes to Python, then please take the
responsibility to use CVS correctly.

Thanks!
