The new python based version of delete has at least three changes in reporting from the old version:

1) When delete is unable to delete a file it fails to report which file it failed to delete (potentially important if you're deleting multiple files and one fails) The old version used to say something like:

delete: foo: No such file or directory

for each file foo that failed to delete.

2) Same problem in reverse with undelete.

3) undelete is now verbose about the list of files it is undeleting, where as the old version only reported problems.

With the new python based delete you get a stack-trace if you try to delete the file "foo" and ".#foo" already exists. The behavior with the old delete was to lose the existing ".#foo", and delete the existing foo to ".#foo".
