Version strings are sequences of arbitrary integers separated by dots and not decimal numbers, or are they? Because Guido said (somewhere) that he didn't want to go over release 2.9. It's actually (repeated) in the talk linked to earlier. The rationale is not touched on, though.

Re: Will Guido's Python Regrets ever get implemented/fixed?
Thanks! Even the fact that these ideas have been organized into a PEP is exciting to methere is hope that they may *someday* be implemented. Maybe sooner than people think. Another reason to love Python like no other. Chris -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

As currently being (re)discussed at tedious length in recent threads here, changes would will only be realized in Python 3.0 (aka Python 3000 in facetious reference to when we can expect to see such a beast). I believe the current plan is to make compatible changes in the next few releases, and then make the incompatable changes in Python 3.0 See PEP 3000 for details. http://www.python.org/peps/pep-3000.html What this means is that there is a good chance that a print() built-in function or method on a file object may show up in a future release, the print statment won't go away until Python 3.0.

Re: Will Guido's Python Regrets ever get implemented/fixed?
Python 3000 is the proveribal and so far hypothetical version of the language in which backward incompatible changes will be allowed (and encouraged). See http://www.python.org/peps/pep-3000.html for details. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Guido gave a nice Python Regrets Power Point talk at OSCON few years ago.
