can you please attach the patch, then I can easily add it to the tree
(In reply to comment #4) > can you please attach the patch, then I can easily add it to the tree > Hi Fabian, thank you for the explanation. The patch is included in "Comment #3" just above you. Do I have to make it as an attachment?
yes, otherwise I have to cut and paste, and that doesn't retain whitespace correctly in all cases, which then causes patch failures all over, while it could be as simple as just downloading an attachment :)

ok, thanks. In the future, please if you grab a patch from somewhere else, just add a reference to that place in your patch. In this case "http://bugs.python.org/issue3876". I added the patch to the 2.6.5 ebuild.
