cgi.py:820: Overriden method (values) doesn't match signature in class (cgi.FormContentDict) I'm afraid that one will have to remain -- it exists for b/w compatibility (with 6 year old code :-).

That reminds me: should we put warnings in cgi.py for instantiations of FormContent and other old classes, so we can delete them in Python 2.3? One problem: if a class doesn't have an init method, subclasses that have their own init methods won't call it. Maybe this could be done by adding 'self.warn()' to all the methods of an outdated class, and defining a warn() method that raises a warning.

imaplib.py:1026: No global (j) found Huh? There's no 'j' on that line.

Bug in the 2.1 version; the CVS code has been changed.
