Note that this was just from the first 15 minutes or so...
Some quick notes about the coming plans by the "other" Python implementations
from today's Python Language Summit at PyCon 2010:
- IronPython:
- plan is to do Python 2.7 first, focus for this year
- python 3.2 for the end of next year hopefully
- other work on IDE stuff
- Pynie (i.e. Parrot) -- Allison Randall:
- about 4 major features away from pure Python syntax (did dicts last
night)
- targetting py3k repo and test suite: should be on track for python 3.2
- Jython:
- plan to target 2.6 (b/c 2to3 depends on 2.6)
- temporarily skip 2.7 and target 3.x (probably 3.2)
- then if 3.x adoption isn't fully there, then go back and add Python 2.7
- will require JDK 2.7 for Python 3 support (b/c of new support for
dynamic languages)
- PyPy (Holger):
- plan is Benjamin will port to Python 2.7 in the summer
- only have slight deviations from CPython: idea is to merge back with
CPython so don't have deviations. Typcically 1 or 2 line changes in ~25
modules.
