I am with Floris here, I think dev/post markers are more explicit than "a0" and implicit markers. And we will always have a hundred ways of doing this. Last, as long as people schemes can be translated to PEP 386, wer'e safe. I propose to end this thread here, and to start a new thread on Python-dev for PEP 386 as I mentioned previously. So, eventually we can decide there on a final scheme, then focus on the last details on PEP 345. I will post the mail for python-dev here so people can check it before it is sent, Regards Tarek _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
