This is what it says now: "Python 2.7 is scheduled to be the last major version in the 2.x series before it moves into 5 years of bugfix-only mode. "
And during this discussion it has been noted that others than the core python team might pick up Python 2 and make releases. So maybe we can and this discussion by changing that line in future releases to be: "Python 2.7 is scheduled to be the last major version in the 2.x series released by the Python Software Foundation before it moves into 5 years of bugfix-only mode. " That doesn't exclude *others* making a Python 2.8 that could include all sorts of crazy features. :) This is mainly just to get the pointless discussion over with. The current Python core team don't want to make a 2.8, so that will not happen. Someone else might, but as Chris points out, they won't step up until they have to, which is probably at least two years from now. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ 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
