Hey, I’m not intending to do much more with it, I would rather help w/ 3.5 like you’re suggesting. In the past there’s always been others who were eager to hack on the latest 3.x, so somebody was bound to start this branch at some point anyway. I figured I’d do the work of the merge now, and carefully — we’ve unfortunately had some issues with this large 3.x vendor merge in the past =] I also got a quick look at 3.6 and the gratification of more closely chasing the head of cpython after all these years. — Philip Jenvey _______________________________________________ pypy-dev mailing list pypy-dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
