+1 Something I think we should also be considering is the 2.7/3.1 release cycle. I propose that we shorten it to ~1 year from 2.6/3.0's release with our main aim being binding 2.x and 3.x more closely. This would get the new unicode features out fairly quickly without having to wait another 2.5 years like 2.5 -> 2.6. -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson "There's no place like 127.0.0.1." _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
