Amen. I can see two scenarios where we might release 3.0.2: (a) if we find a really severe error in 3.0.1 (or perhaps a security problem); (b) if 3.1 ends up getting delayed severely. In case (a) happens it's okay if the 3.0 branch is left alone until the time we need to make that one patch. The probability of (b) is low, so let's worry about that when it happens, and let's try not to make it happen. :-) Congratulations all with the release! -- --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
