Steve I agree with you. If my vote means anything, I vote against it.

I guess what would happen is that many people will sit on 2.4 for a lot longer than expected, or widespread interest in other implementations (fork?) suddenly take off ;) I would pretty much have to remain with 2.4 at work - we have a draconian IT software management policy that would prevent me getting approval for a commercial licence for python for at least the better part of a year, and this cycle would be repeated for every upgrade (the hold-ups involve budgets, cost-centres and red tape). This is why I use as much free software as possible. Regards Caleb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
