I'm not quite sure I understand the problem (ignoring python-dev for the moment)
Why do we need to think about CPython at all? Do you have a customer that
wants CPython (without stackless features) but with 2.7 + features?
yes exactly. I have a customer who wants the new Python, but is afraid
still to move a large distribution to Stackless.
I said stackless is free, but if I'm supposed to switch it off, I will
charge
all the hours that I spent on this version, which was quite some work.
That was unexpected, now suddenly I had to solve the problem that
I wanted to circumvent. :-D
Therefore the idea to give them both versions, where only stackless
has some features added.
If you don't, then all we need is to make a break from cpython cleanly. I
don't see how we need to support CPython.
if python-dev wants a 2010 version, then they can have that as a PCBuild11
subdirectory in their 2.7 CPython branch.
We can just move forward with our own "Stackless 2.8" and it can even have a
"slpython28.dll/.so" library.
Right. I need to think a bit.
They want an official Python that they can use for years.
Somehow it would be nice if we are regarded official enough to provide it.
