It should be (and stay) that stable. The latest syntax change regarding the for loop is not required for Cython, where the (IMHO much more obvious) cdef + range() syntax is optimised, which also works in Pyrex. We should just take care not to remove the older for-from syntax for compatibility reasons (which I don't remember considering for Cython anyway). And I'm still fighting against the two new functions that Greg introduced for type testing. To make the rest a bit shorter: I'm stronly -1 on supporting different language versions and even -1 on bug-fixing multiple branches. That's just two reasons more to keep the language itself stable. And if we really have to change the syntax, that's another two reasons more why we should consider this very, very carefully and only let syntax changes in that are very well backed by arguments. BTW, I would find it somewhat ironic if the Cython project, which I found to be a lot more agile than Pyrex lately, could agree on keeping the language more stable than Pyrex itself. ;) Stefan _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
