It does seem to alleviate it :) Sorry for not noticing! However, could the following be removed from the list: “Is there a proper unit test that can reproduce the bug?” We don't need or require unit tests to reproduce bugs; and besides, some things simply are very difficult to write an unit test for. A reporter need not be an experienced Python developer able (or willing) to write an elaborate unit test reproducing, for example, a timing issue involving Unix signals and the IO stack ;) Fair enough. I will remove it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20110110/b506f4ac/attachment-0001.html>
