No, I didn't. I first tried to ask whether any of active Python core developers were involved in developing of PyXML and kept some history. I even don't know whether PyXML used any VCS served by SourceForge, or just published tarballs.

They had been using CVS:

CVS repo web viewer shows some subdirectories but it seems there is no sources.

I also failed to rsync from their CVS pserver and I doubt they have a backup -- SF stopped supporting CVS long ago.

Oleg.

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
