[Python-Dev] Bugs discovered by researchers at Case Western Reserve University

[Boya Sun]

Dear Developers,

I am a Ph.D student from Case Western Reserve University, specialized at
software engineering.  Our recent approach analyzes bugs that are being
fixed in the issue database, and tries to discover any latent bug instances
that are the same as the fixed bug but are left unfixed.  We have found some
spurious code in your project in this approach, and pointed out these code
by comments (sometimes also with patches) to the fixed bugs in the issue DB
from which it is discovered as follows:

Issue 6817: http://bugs.python.org/issue6817 (A new issue, created following
Amaury's comments)
Issue 2620: http://bugs.python.org/issue2620
Issue 3139: http://bugs.python.org/issue3139
Issue 5705: http://bugs.python.org/issue5705

We hope that we have discovered some real bugs for you.  Any comments or
suggestions are GREATLY appreciated, since your opinions are very, very
precious to us.

Boya
