[Python-Dev] Status of patch 764217, fix for tkFond.Font(name=)?

[Russell E. Owen]

I submitted patch 764217 
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=764221&group_id
=5470&atid=305470> awhile ago and it got some intial interest, but after applying the 
requested changes I've not heard anything for quite awhile.

The summary of the patch is: kFont.Font(name=xxx) crashes if a font by 
the specified name already exists. This is a problem for several 
reasons, the main one being that it makes life really tough if you want 
to create a new tkFont.Font object for a given Tcl named font.

Is there anything I can do to get this moving again? I don't want to be 
pushy, but I was certainly hoping to get it into Python 2.4.

Regards,
