  2. Are you talking about the django 1.0 version?

  3. You know, you might have an easier time of it if you mentioned which bug, and helped us understand why you find it “rather severe”…

  4. I see the ticket you filed describing the bug, but you didn’t provide a patch implementing the missing feature. Maybe if you wrote a patch, the mystery of how long it will take to fix will be slightly less mysterious.

  5. Fixed. Now, let’s see how long it takes until you change this blog entry to use the correct form of “its”!

  7. Bit of an asshole-ish attitude for someone with “better things to do” than report the issue properly, don’t you think?

  8. […] It took less than a day. And yes I was an asshole. I can’t blame the django team for fixing things too slow because being Python’s biggest framework you can break existing code easily and fixes often requires careful consideration. […]

  9. In my opinion the subject is not how difficult is fixing bugs in Django, or how much time it costs.

    The subject is why you can’t be thankful for having this great application for free (free as in freedom), and you waste your time in this kind of posts, instead to contributing in a productive way.

    But now, I think that best you can do is post another entry about how far bugs are fixed, and how Django community takes care on its lost sheeps. :)
