Just looking at the indicated file in the 2.6.4 release tarball, it does
not seem that it would apply cleanly. The line numbers do not apply
properly anymore, though the edited lines themselves still appear to be
unaffected. Without context diff in the original patch, it's difficult
for me to asseess exactly which lines should be the affected ones.
Unfortunately, I'm not in a position right now with my job to spend the
time necessary to produce this as a patch since I'm on a timescale that
requires equivalent functionality by Wednesday on production systems.
Modifying it to apply cleanly to the latest versions of Python appears
like it would be easy, if the internals of that file have not changed
drastically in structure since 2.6.4.
Documentation should be relatively straightforward as well, since the
functionality the patch introduces is rather transparent. Unit tests
are beyond my expertise to comment on.
Would have loved to have seen this in the 2.7/3.1 series, as it would
make my task much easier! I'll keep it in mind for my "off time" this
holiday weekend. |
