Go ahead and check in any changes you see that need doing. I haven't fiddled with trace.py much in the past couple of years, so there are some places that clearly do things different than currently accepted practice.

(I am going to be up to my ass in alligators pretty much from now through Labor Day (early September for the furriners among us), so things I thought I would get to probably will remain undone. The most important thing is to fix the list comprehensions patch to force expression tuples to be parenthesized. Guido says it's an easy fix, and the grammar changes seem trivial, but fixing compile.c is beyond my rusty knowledge at the moment. Someone want to pick this up?)
