Hi,
besides Richard's announcement below,
there will in fact be a stackless 2.8 with a changed executable name
that explicitly does not call itself "python", although it is.
That would be a fine candidate for homebrew, of course.
We have not decided yet, but it is maybe the start of generally maintaining
the "stackless" name for all future versions, because that removes a lot
of naming issues at no cost.
cheers - chris

Hi
will that happen on stackless.com with tarballs or somewhere else?
Although being interested in stackless for several years, for me
following the recent discussions were both enlightening as well as
frustrating, because there is so little information painting a big
picture of all the bits and pieces of stackless and its relatives.
Maybe painting an inheritance tree would help?
With my attempt having failed at bringing stackless to the main
homebrew repos on OSX on the grounds that 'it is confusing the user
because this is just another python and we already have enough
problems with OXS's system python and the homebrew one' I felt some
hope when reading the discussions about naming stackless differently.
My plan still is to have stackless as a brew formula on OSX and as a
port on FreeBSD, so anything which separates stackless from the
CPython installation seems to me a step into the right direction.

Hi,
I've been reflecting on the 2.7.6 and 3.3.3 releases of Stackless, and
how I think it's important we do them in a timely fashion.
However, there are a decent number of outstanding issues, so I'd like
to propose a different approach.
I plan to do three release candidate releases:
2.7.6
3.3.3
3.4.0
These will only include the latest finalised changes.
I'll also make a list of outstanding things that need to be addressed
before we can do final releases, and then once these are done, I'll
tag and package up the official source releases.
Then people can step up to do windows and macos installers.
My hope is that then someone who goes to the Stackless web site won't
see old versions only being available. Ideally we'd be able to
generate windows and macos installers for the intermediate release
candidates, but.. I'm not sure anyone with the right software licenses
will find the time. We'll see.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Cheers,
Richard.
