I think the versioning scheme is a red herring here. The important topic is when Python releases are cut and what kinds of changes they are made of. > Thinking if a change then is needed. :-) Marketing benefits? > Don't know then. I don't think there are any marketing benefits. That might have been true 10 years ago, but nowadays people are so used to staggering increases in version numbers that they are not impressed anymore. Besides, IMHO Python is well past the point where it needed a concerted marketing effort to promote itself.
