You could have picked a better time than one day before the beta releast to open this up. I'm already asked to consider several patches (the Psyco ones) at the very last minute.

Sorry -- it was on the 2.2.2 wiki since the day it was created. Plus, I've been out of town much of the time since then.

In the SF entry I say that it's a clear semantic change and I don't want to change it in 2.2.

I'll try to see if I can find time to read your message, but if I don't, I won't feel guilty.

I would appreciate it. This is something of a pet bug, since it is the single thing in 2.2.2 that will break a fairly large application that we have developed. For somewhat complex reasons, there is no easy work-around for it.

Thanks, -Kevin
