Hi, I've uploaded prerelease versions of Stackless Python 2.7.6 to:
http://stackless.com/wiki/Download Note that I've modified the patch level, so it claims it is 2.7.6a1. This will have to do, as it will prevent anyone from mistaking this for a final release. On the Stackless Python naming topic. Note that Armin Ronacher named Stackless Python 2.8 as a pending release, in his new blog post. http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2014/1/5/unicode-in-2-and-3/ Cheers, Richard.
