Not at all! That's the whole point. :)

Glad to hear that!  I know I would not be the only one who would 
strongly object to moving the CVS over to anything that didn't have some 
form of SSH protection (and allowed for SSH keys since I know I am too 
damn lazy to type my password in constantly  =) .

As many of you are already aware, Barry Warsaw recently created a new
project on SourceForge to house the python-mode.el code which makes Emacs
and XEmacs so delightful to edit Python code.  I just completed migrating
all open bugs and patches which mention python-mode from the python project
to the new python-mode project.  In the future, please submit all bugs and
patches at

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-mode/

All new bugs and patches regarding python-mode should be submitted to the
new project.

There's also a mailing list, python-mode at python.org, to which you can
subscribe in the usual Pythonic fashion:

    http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-mode

As Michal touched on earlier, I wrote a hand-coded pure-python parser
that plugs into the compiler package.  It takes about 1.5-2x as long to
compile vs using the native parser module.  The resultant tuples can
also be shoved back into genuine parse trees via parser.sequence2ast().
So yeah, it's not that big of a deal to generate AST trees without the
runtime (until some crazy function attribute syntax gets added to
python, that is)

Really?  You surprise me <wink>.

Barrt,
how about porting things back to the trunk? Is that my responsibility 
for the stuff I changed between 2.3 and 2.3-mac?

Brett, you're doing great as usual. Saving enough time to survive
grad school may have been your primary motivation, but I actually
think that this revised format is better than your exhaustive one.
IMHO people who wanted to know every detail that went on would just
subscribe to python-dev, and people who wanted historical accuracy
would just consult the list archives. Your summaries made these
tasks easier, but could never be as exhaustive as just reading the
list. However, the "more journalistic" approach is really nice
because it helps to separate out the relevent from the insignifigant.
It is a very useful filtering of the information, providing 
something you CAN'T get by reading the list. Of course, it's *your*
idea of what's important and what's not, but at this point I'd say
you're as qualified as any to make that call, and more qualified
than almost all.

Keep up the great work!

Here's a recipe I use for branches that others might find useful:

$ cd ~/src/python/dist/
$ cvs co -d src-23x -r release23-maint python/dist/src
(This creates -- eventually -- a src-23x directory alongside the src
directory which contains the trunk)

Then hack CVS/Entries to contain a line

D/src-23x////

Now running cvs up in python/dist/ will update both the trunk and the
release23-maint code (and in my case release22-maint, too).

Cheers,
mwh

I wasn't planning on porting things back to the trunk, so it would be
great if you could do it.

IDLE has historically maintained its own NEWS file, and it is now
accessible from IDLE's Help/About menu.  Maintaining this file has the
advantage that all the IDLE NEWS is kept in one place and is easily
parsable for display.  

Do we want to continue this tradition or merge IDLE NEWS into Python
NEWS on a go-forward basis?

Second, do we want to continue the IDLE versioning (currently 1.0)
or just drop it now that IDLE is no longer distributed separately?
