Addressing the key remaining barriers to migration for existing Python
2 users would be an excellent objective to attain before we end
upstream support for Python 2.7, but it's one that would be better
addressed by a slightly shorter dev cycle than normal for 3.5 than it
would be by falling into the "just one more feature" trap for Python 3.4.
I was thinking about that myself. If we said in advance what features
we were shooting for, and it wasn't overly ambitious, we could do a
release in six months. No problem.
Do we know of any (other) big projects waiting to happen for 3.5?
Integration of regex module?
And has a consensus about byte formatting really coalesced that quickly?
I don't think so. Guido suggested a minimal method and I coded a Python
version of a version of that. But many would like *their* favorite
feature added. I would like to see a new method tested by, say,
mercurial. I also think there are separate questions as to what we want
in 3.x for writing 3.x code and what in needed for writing polyglot 2
and 3 code. If the requirements are not the same, I think multi-version
modules on Pypi (existing and planned) may in some cases be the better
way to go.
