It should be in lib-old.

"should" as in "is already there" or
"oops, I'll fix it" ? :-)

[fredrik@brain BleedingEdge]$ ls python/dist/src/Lib/lib-old/
CVS codehack.py newdir.py rand.py whatsound.py
Para.py fmt.py ni.py tb.py zmod.py
addpack.py lockfile.py poly.py util.py

(sure looks like "oops" to me...)

It's certainly in lib-old/ in the CVS repository.

Sorry. Definately certainly not.

But a find.py is in Demo/threads.
Fred (any of both :) did you mean that?

I cannot see any "find.py" in either Lib (where it
is in all my copies of 1.5.2) or Lib/lib-old.

fwiw, I can think of a few dozen other standard
library modules that I'd remove before this one.
cannot we put it back? please? :-)

(after all, it's been a reoccuring theme on
comp.lang.python lately. and 1.5.2+ breaks
my new book...).

It most certainly *should* be appearing in lib-old; I just checked
the internal CVS repository and it's really there. Perhaps the
anonymous mirror isn't right?
(Barry, can you check this? I don't even know where it is, much
less whether I can see those directories.)

That's up to Guido, not me.

It *is* in Lib/lib-old. Maybe the CVS mirror is messed up, we'll ask
Barry to investigate. Maybe the branching messed things up?

It's better (and more illustrative) to use os.walk() to do this thing.

Good thing it isn't printed yet. :-)

Somehow the mirror was out of date. Perhaps the branch merge got it
out of whack, but in any case, I've done a top-level resync. find.py
is definitely in the repository under lib-old now!

Hope that helps,
