There will certainly be some 2.6 features. But we still haven’t quite
figured out what “2.1” is yet. So if there’s a particular 2.6 feature,
or if you’d just like us to see us do them all, let us know – same
goes for other features, fixes, misc improvements, etc…
+1 for with statement available without future import
+1 for new syntax for exception handling
+1 for class decorators (+1000 for using them to provide attribute support)
+1 for hasattr not discarding all exceptions
+1 for being able to provide keyword arguments after *args
+1 for getter, setter and deleter on properties (damn useful)
+1 for __dir__ support
+lots for implementing ctypes (not really related but thought I would
throw it in)
Abstract Base Classes are nice, not sure if I'll use them for a while
though.
New string formatting can blow.

"IronPython 3k"... does that mean that IPy 2.1 is targeted to be
compatible with CPython 2.6?
(Please say "yes"!)

Just one other comment on top of what Curt said. You might more
properly think of Main as IronPython 3k. Main includes a ton of
renames and other breaking made in
Microsoft.Scripting.Core/System.Core that will end up in .NET 4.0.
We're still working on what we want to do for 2.1 (and input is always
welcome of course) but our current thinking is that it will be API
compatible w/ 2.0.
