Well, from the number of release blockers it sounds like another 3.0 beta is the right thing. For 2.6 however I believe we're much closer to the finish line -- there aren't all those bytes/str issues to clean up, for example! And apparently the benefit of releasing on schedule is that we will be included in OSX. That's a much bigger deal for 2.6 than for 3.0 (I doubt that Apple would add two versions anyway). > Just my pocket change, though. > > > > -- > Cheers, > Benjamin Peterson > "There's no place like 127.0.0.1." > -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
