Martin,

Thanks for the reply.

I notice that my message comes across pretty negative.

No worries. I'm a volunteer too. :)

It's a new feature, so it can't possibly get into Python 2.5. That means that no action is likely taken before October. It might take years until the patch gets considered.

Helpful, thanks.

As Skip explains, I have a 5-for-1-rule for people who really want to push their patches: If you review 5 patches, I will review yours

Yeah, this hit the bulls-eye for me. The 5-for-1 rule is a great way to specify how newcomers can influence patch workflow w/o becoming spammers. [Brett: +1 on mentioning this in the updated Patch Guidelines]

Watch for another post once I've found the time to volunteer to review 5 other patches. :)

Thanks again, all! Consider my original questions answered.
