More like 2016 or 2020 -- as of January, my former employer was still using Python 2.3, and I wouldn't be surprised if 1.5.2 was still out in the wilds. The transition to 3.x is more extreme, and lots of people will continue making do for years after any formal support is dropped. Whether this warrants including PEP 382 in 2.x, I don't know; I still don't really understand this proposal. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Why is this newsgroup different from all other newsgroups? _______________________________________________ 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
