I still have a local copy of the patch updated to the trunk and could install it now if instructed to do so. There appear to be two options: 1) Install my patch in python.el which may in reality only involve your contribution to python-mode.el and may not require other signatures. 2) Replace python.el with a modified python-mode.el which would require more signatures (Barry Warsaw, Skip Montanero?) and more work. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
