AVRO-230 (shared directory with test schemas) would be great, but I'm not sure it's a blocker. Do we want to make AVRO-570 (Python implementation of MapReduce) a blocker? I can see the pros (suss out sharp edges in the implementation) and cons (it's a new feature that's going to take a bit of work to implement).
I've added AVRO-588 (Avro usable and testable on Python 2.4). I'll need to augment the Python RPC to handle system errors correctly after AVRO-573 goes in, so I've filed AVRO-599 as a blocker as well. Lastly, I've been meaning to get to AVRO-528 (Twisted support) and AVRO-283 (change Python implementation from dictionaries to objects) forever, so the release seems as good as ever. If anyone has Python chops and wants to help with the release, please volunteer now! I'm also in IRC as "hammer" all day.
