Yeah. Looked at it. But there are also sayings: Python is just fine. But
for the bug of Python3 (that it exists at all)

Not going so far for myself, I'm really no python guy. But: I really
would like to have the "regression takes ages" and "crowded directories
take ages" being resolved. OR OR OR: would like to understand this
issue. Cannot claim that I will be able to fix it. But I would very much
like to understand what the heck is going on there. Just doesn't feel sa
ne.

Very kind thanks for the feed-back,

Claus
