so like i hrd python devz like mudkipz? http://bugs.python.org/issue9702
I presume you are Dave B? So this is a great example of why introductory programming courses in college should teach C (or something similar) as a first language rather than Java. Kids these days don't understand what operating on something by reference is and why you'd want to do that. Also Dave, your example Python code in the bug report doesn't match the scenario in the SSL socket wrapper bug. The former tries to isolate the differences in operating by reference or value and the latter confusion comes about because the programmer didn't understand the Python scoping rules. (At least that's what I gather from the bug report alone; didn't look at the rest of the code.) I'm really not sure how any of this is security related. tim _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
