Hi Martin,

OTOH, I also think we should get rid of buildno entirely. Instead, svnversion should be compiled into the object file, or, if it is absent, $Revision$ should be used; the release process should be updated to force a commit to the tag/Modules/buildno.c right after creating the tag. sys.buildnumber should go, and be replaced with sys.svninfo, which should also include the branch from which the checkout/export was made. RevisionRevisionRevision should only be trusted if it comes from a tag/.

All this sounds good.

Should I write a PEP for that?

I agree with Barry that it's overkill to ask for PEPs for too many small details.

A bientot,

Armin
