You're right, it was antagonistic of me to suggest you send a patch for something so simple. Plus, it wasn't even accurate, because I actually wanted a pull request :-) I've been amazed at how much github can speed fixes getting into the codebase--even very small ones. Using the machinery of git (fork, commit, push, pull request, merge) leaves a trail which is extremely helpful for surfacing who is helping with what at the source code level. It would be great if the students that you mentioned who are using pymarc knew that they have the ability to participate at this level as well. One of the reasons why we moved pymarc over to github was to enable more people to more easily maintain the software. I agree that there are some dusty corners of pymarc that could use some cleanup, and that character encoding is probably the cruftiest of the cruft. Perhaps python3 compatibility will be good time to rethink how some of it works? At any rate, I hope that you will keep helping the project out, we need it. //Ed PS. thanks for being you Mike :-)
