As noted in my post (for those that weren't paying attention):
1) I asked POLITELY.
2) Got blown off - repeatedly and rudely (read the posts leading up to my rant). Not "I'll look into it", not "maybe one of the devs will check it out", not "if you want to learn a little python, here's where to start in the code", not "Sorry, we don't have the time - we only do this part-time", nothing but "Beat it, kid, you bother me". Just for the novelty of it, try looking at those first 4 messages from MY perspective as a new user and ask yourselves how happy you'd be to get those kinds of responses.
3) AS NOTED, I have no knowledge of or experience with Python, so patching on my own is out.
4) I did NOT specifically ask ANYONE in particular to explicitly do anything; please note that in my first post, I even asked for pointers or directions to how to do it MYSELF in case there was some other way of accomplishing it. It was KOVID that was "abrupt" to the point of rudeness.
5) I have no expectation that the donation I would have made would have made that much of a difference; the point was that responding the way he did served to alienate at least ONE donation, and may well have lost them in the past (and may well in the future); it's up to Kovid to decide how important that is to him.
