Message 174073 - Python tracker
Issue 9769 is still open. It looks like there was some disagreement in the comments between Alexander and Victor as to whether a new issue should be created (since Victor had a different idea when first opening the issue), but it looks like Victor deferred to Alexander in his final comment. I will close this issue as a duplicate, and if you could repost your patch on the other issue, that would be great. The discussion there is relevant to your patch.
