Re: [BangPypers] Python moratorium
This is to allow the alternate implementations to catch up, and not really about the users of the python language. Adding breaking changes between versions of python 3 would just be bad language design, so users should be fine either way. I've found myself quite happy using many of the new features that were added to python over the years. I'll certainly miss that. ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
[BangPypers] Python moratorium
A.M. Kuchling has published an article related to this on LWN. This has been under discussion in Pydev for a couple of weeks now... It would be interesting to know the opinion of folks here on this... http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/361266/ef88bdbed5369800/ Here is the related PEP link. http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3003/ Regards, -- --Anand ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

More than the catching up part, I think perhaps Guido is worried about widespread Python 3.x adoption. This will help a lot in that direction. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers -- --Anand ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

I am a fairly typical enduser of python, and basically I am still slowly migrating to 2.5 (which is now getting available on production servers). So we are happy that there is a pause. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Project Officer NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
