I don't think we, as in python-dev, should do this. If people want to start telling others to use bento on their own, that's fine. For the core team to get behind it would probably require a lot of work to safely stamp it as "the new way...that we don't actually have anything to do with" If python-dev officially says "hey, use bento", then it has all sorts of problems and ends up dying in 6 months, we will look like idiots. _______________________________________________ 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
