Hello
I've looked at one bug and a bunch of patches and
added a comment to them:

(bug) [ 1102649 ] pickle files should be opened in binary mode
Added a comment about a possible different solution

[ 946207 ] Non-blocking Socket Server
Useless, what are the mixins for? Recommend close

[ 756021 ] Allow socket.inet_aton('255.255.255.255') on Windows
Looks good but added suggestion about when to test for special case

[ 740827 ] add urldecode() method to urllib
I think it's better to group these things into urlparse

[ 579435 ] Shadow Password Support Module
Would be nice to have, I recently just couldn't do the user
authentication that I wanted: based on the users' unix passwords

[ 1093468 ] socket leak in SocketServer
Trivial and looks harmless, but don't the sockets
get garbage collected once the request is done?

[ 1049151 ] adding bool support to xdrlib.py
Simple patch and 2.4 is out now, so...



It would be nice if somebody could have a look at my
own patches or help me a bit with them:

[ 1102879 ] Fix for 926423: socket timeouts + Ctrl-C don't play nice
[ 1103213 ] Adding the missing socket.recvall() method
[ 1103350 ] send/recv SEGMENT_SIZE should be used more in socketmodule
[ 1062014 ] fix for 764437 AF_UNIX socket special linux socket names
[ 1062060 ] fix for 1016880 urllib.urlretrieve silently truncates dwnld

Some of them come from the last Python Bug Day, see

Thank you !
