Getting along in the Python community

What impresses me about this, is how much diligent effort was put in by Ivan Pozdeev to try and fix it *before* his first grumpy email. Reading through https://bugs.python.org/issue33257 it's obvious that he's not just grumbling, he's rolled up his sleeves to produce a crashing test case, investigated the cause(s), rebuilt packages to try and circumscribe the affected versions, proposed several different fixes with pro's and con's, and coded up patches as well!

I too would feel a little grumpy if it looked like none of that work was actually going to get anywhere. So I'm inclined to be charitable, myself.
