Can we get the readline patch reviewed as well. It was applied to trunk already: http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=74970 It's marked for backport to 2.6 as "needs review": http://bugs.python.org/issue6877 It fixes a BusError crash that was just swiped under a rug by disabling the build in setup.py. :-) I'm disinclined to approve this for 2.6.4 since it is not a regression in 2.6.3. It seems fine to me for 2.6.5 though.

Excellent. That's exactly what I meant. I quoted the part of the previous message where you proposed to review
another patch for 2.6.5. I guess it was not very clear that I'm
proposing to review this for 2.6.5 as well. Well, at least we're on
the same page now it seems. :-)

Thanks,

Zvezdan
