I just checked in a fix for this (it was a one-character change, not including unit test update). I don't know if there is a Python bug report open which now needs to be closed. Considering the ease of the fix, I sort of think not (otherwise it would have been fixed long ago). Note that in general we have plenty of other things to do with our time without monitoring other projects' bug trackers looking for possible Python bug reports. If they aren't reported on SF we won't here about them. (The Debian folks routinely open SF items when Python bug reports wind up in the Debian tracker.) -- Skip Montanaro Got spam? http://www.spambayes.org/ skip at pobox.com
