How is it completely wrong?  I am all for a better solution,
though. :)

I am afraid I have forgotten the python problem.  As described in the
BTS, I tested the patch on my machine, and it seem to work just fine.
I did not see any comments from you about seriuos issues with it, so I
assumed you did not have any comments.  I see you have added a comment
there now.

I suspect you are talking about my comment 2007-12-27 in bug #457441,
where I said:

I am sorry if you misunderstood this to mean that I promised to not
touch popcon, and that you expected this to last for more than 2.5
weeks.

I believed we should get a fix for the HTTP delivery issue out
quickly, to make the submission count more accurate, and because of
this I rushed out the new release.  I believed two days would be
enough time to gather your commends if you had any.  I see that
obviously you needed more time, as you now the day after the upload is
asking me to not do the upload.  How much time do you believe I should
to wait for your comments next time?

Happy hacking,
