The conversion issue is how to ensure that CRLF doesn't get checked in by people who use autoconverting Windows software, not Emacs, to edit code. (Or maybe the problem only appears with new files.) It's *not* about trying to do something sane with automatic conversion. The other half isn't documented in the PEP. It's SSH. You could say that this isn't the VCS's job to support, but then, whose job is it? Python is just going to pass it on to the Windows developers. I'm not sure whether it will turn out to be a real problem or not in the end. > Anyway, the EOL conversion doesn't seem to be relevant to Emacs, Neither is Mercurial. ;-)
