Feel free to leave JimD a message here. Obviously it won't be private and it might be forever before I get around to reading it. I'm the same JimD on Wikipedia and a few of the Wikimedia projects. Any response will be posted to your talk page (unless otherwise indicated) ... and your message will probably be erased from this page shortly after I've read it (just to avoide clutter).

Glad to have you aboard. BTW...Email works on RC; you might want to verify an email address.--Short Circuit 20:35, 12 October 2007 (MDT)

File I/O

Hi Jim, If you took a look at the source for shutil.copyfile then you would see that it is as robust as the extra code you have written. Why re-invent what is available in the Python standard library? I would prefer the Python entry point users at using the succinct shutil.copyfile rather than them having to remember what mode to open the files, closing files, ... --Paddy3118 11:47, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
