+1 to remove it Let's remove it first, an then decide if another stage is necessary. The problems with "unit test needed" is that 1. It is not clear whether unit tests should be written before or after a patch and thus once a bug is acknowledged as valid, what an appropriate stage should be. 2. For a bug that needs confirmation as being reproducible, it suggests that familiarity with unit test framework in necessary to move the issue forward. In fact, in many cases a short stand-alone script is more helpful than a Lib/test patch. I think "patch needed" is a good enough first stage. For bugs it should be set when there is a rough consensus that the behavior is a bug and for RFEs, it should be set when a decision to include cannot be made without an implementation. While there is no agreement on whether the bug is valid or whether an RFE makes any sense, the stage can stay undefined. _______________________________________________ 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
