That seems to argue for doing rc2 on Sunday the 18th. If I tag the release some time Saturday, you could have the binaries by Sunday right? Correct. Regards, Martin ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org

It would be nice to get this issue resolved out for 2.6.4: http://bugs.python.org/issue4120 The problem is that extensions built with 2.6.x will not work when used with a User-only installation of Python on machines that don't already have the MS VC90 CRT DLLs installed system-wide. As

As this bug already exists in 2.6.2, I don't think the change is eligible for 2.6.4. In addition, I want to review it, which I won't be able to until Sunday. Then I'd suggest to wait another week with 2.6.4 to give you a chance to look at the patch. That won't make the change more

We don't need to wait too long for 2.6.5 though. A few months would be appropriate. MAL Would it be reasonable to shorten that period, if the fix for the MAL mentioned problem gets ready for prime time earlier ? I think it would be worthwhile to prioritize all outstanding bugs

So, we can either make Sunday's release rc2 and do the final release one week later, or I can try to get an rc2 out in the next day or two, with a final release mid-next week. Thoughts? I won't be able to produce Windows binaries until Saturday. Now sure how that would fit into the within
