Raymond followed up with the following: (http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-August/055358.html) > Assign 1023290 to me and I'll get it done in the next month or so.

I can easily update the patch/test/documentation for struct, but my CPython abilities are somewhat lacking, and I wouldn't be comfortable writing two new functions in the binascii module. - Josiah _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
