It's not a matter of simply accepting any improvements for 2.7 even from volunteers. If 2.8 happened, among other things people would have to - make releases (building installers, etc) - review new features - triage bugs - fix bugs in new features - maintain yet another branch It would surely add overhead for everyone. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
