Re: [Visualpython-users] arrow shaftwidth question

[Arthur S. <aj...@ix...>]

My solution at this point has been to alter the "min" settings in
the arrow C code to something that works better for me, and
recompile.

My wish is either to be able to set the min/max settings from
Python, or to allow some override of the min/max behavior.
As it stands writing to shaftwidth does not seem to take, once
the min/max conditions have set in.
