[Python-Dev] Contributing to Python (original) (raw)

My main gripe is with code contributions to Py3k and 2.6; Py3k is mostly done by a handful of people, and almost nobody is working much on 2.6.

There's a great Duke Ellington quote: ``Without a deadline, baby, I wouldn't do nothing.''

The SSL code in 2.6 is out-of-date (buggy) compared to the code in the 3.x branch, for instance. I just haven't prioritized backporting the 3.x fixes, because there's no schedule for 2.6.
