[RELEASED] Python 3.1 beta 1

2009-05-07 Thread Benjamin Peterson
On behalf of the Python development team, I'm thrilled to announce the first and
only beta release of Python 3.1.

Python 3.1 focuses on the stabilization and optimization of features and changes
Python 3.0 introduced.  For example, the new I/O system has been rewritten in C
for speed.  File system APIs that use unicode strings now handle paths with
undecodable bytes in them. [1] Other features include an ordered dictionary
implementation and support for ttk Tile in Tkinter.  For a more extensive list
of changes in 3.1, see http://doc.python.org/dev/py3k/whatsnew/3.1.html or
Misc/NEWS in the Python distribution.

Please note that this is a beta release, and as such is not suitable for
production environments.  We continue to strive for a high degree of quality,
but there are still some known problems and the feature sets have not been
finalized.  This beta is being released to solicit feedback and hopefully
discover bugs, as well as allowing you to determine how changes in 3.1 might
impact you.  If you find things broken or incorrect, please submit a bug report
at

 http://bugs.python.org

For more information and downloadable distributions, see the Python 3.1 website:

 http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1/

See PEP 375 for release schedule details:

Enjoy,

 On behalf of the Python development team, I'm thrilled to announce the first
 and
 only beta release of Python 3.1.
..
 Other features include an ordered dictionary implementation

Are there plans for backporting this to python 2.x just as
multiprocessing has been?

I know that there are several ordered dictionary implementations for
2.x but they are all a little bit different from the one going into
3.1, hence my question.

Cheers,
Daniel

Why not grab the 3.1 code and do it yourself for your 2.X's?
It should be far less work than attempting something as
fidgety as multiprocessing.

Don't worry, we gave multiprocessing some ADHD meds :)

If OrderedDict winds up being backported, will you include it
in 2.x?

I see it in the 2.7 sources.
