[Python-Dev] Request for commits and/or privileges

[Daniel Stutzbach]

Several issues that I'm involved with (listed below) are ready for
commit, as far as I can tell.  They have a patch, and either a core
developer has positively reviewed the patch or the patch is a
straightforward implementation of a core developer's suggested
approach.  They are all bug-fixes or optimizations.

May I have commit privileges so that I can commit these patches and
future patches in a similar state?  If the consensus is negative for
any reason, I completely respect that decision and will continue to
contribute patches just as I am now (but in that case, consider this
my humble request for someone to commit these changes :) ).  If
positive, I would start by committing just one (after writing an
appropriate NEWS entry) and soliciting feedback to make sure that I
had done it right.

http://bugs.python.org/issue8781 - 32-bit wchar_t doesn't need to be
unsigned to be usable
http://bugs.python.org/issue9214 - Most Set methods of KeysView and
ItemsView do not work right
http://bugs.python.org/issue8750 - Many of MutableSet's methods assume
that the other parameter is not self
http://bugs.python.org/issue5553 - Py_LOCAL_INLINE(type) doesn't
actually inline except using MSC
http://bugs.python.org/issue2521 - ABC caches should use weak refs
http://bugs.python.org/issue808164 - socket.close() doesn't play well
with __del__

Many more in the pipeline :-)
