Re: replacing python.el

I had hoped that it would be possible to merge python-mode.el and python.el and reduce the confusion and inconvenience of Python X/Emacs users. Andreas's opinion is that that is technically impossible and I believe it is Dave's opinion that it will be practically impossible from a legal perspective. If that's the case, then so be it; we will continue to develop and maintain python-mode.el as an alternative and XEmacs will likely include our version in its distribution. Emacs users will have to find it if they are looking for an alternative, but once they do, it should work just fine for them. python-mode.el is now GPLv3. I don't know what more we can do and it seems like python-mode.el will never be included in Emacs. Oh well. Under those circumstances, I see no reason not to allow Andreas to merge his changes into python- mode.el even without his copyright assignments. If I'm wrong in any of the above, please correct me.
