Yes, a fellow dev already reported that issue to me. I have proposed a patch in the python 2.7 status thread. Before mass-applying that I wanted to have review and/or more testing by myself. I'm afraid of causing worse damage than that. That's why it isn't fixed yet. > I'd like to take this chance to recall this is the 2nd time on the last > few months where stage generation was broken by python changes.
