I didn't say "from source", I said "from a VCS checkout". If using a *specific* recent official release of a core tool is bureaucratically infeasible, it would IMO be very unusual if you're allowed to checkout and build arbitrary versions of Python, rather than using a version provided by your bureaucrats. The number of people whose job is *specifically* developing Python, or developing code that depends on bleeding-edge Python, in such an environment is surely very small. _______________________________________________ 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
