Victor Stinner has agreed to take over maintenance of the backport module -- thanks Victor! His plan is straightforward -- to backport enhancements from CPython 3.6 and release a new PyPI version.

And thanks Ethan for volunteering as well -- I appreciate it.

FYI I just finished (I hope!) to bug on os.walk(bytes) on Windows with the "emulated" scandir (since os.scandir() only works on Unicode on Python 3.5+): http://bugs.python.org/issue25911 Since I helped you to write your PEP 471 (scandir) as the BDFL-delegate, I think that I now understand well scandir(). So I can help you to maintain your backport. Indeed -- probably better than me at this point! I haven't quite been able to keep up with the latest CPython patches. In any case, I think you'd be an ideal person for maintaining the backport. I know there was some question in the past about whether you had desire/time for more open source contributions; in that light, are you willing and do you have the time? Though again, this isn't a big module and really just a few fixes at this point. -Ben -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
