Ho Hum, I have to wonder if it is a good idea to market python 2.3 Alpha 2 this way. People (like me) will see it and think "gee, a new python version" w/o realizing that it's an alpha version. Besides the question whether we should package alpha versions at all (I realize that some people release software that depedns on alpha version, but I don't have to like that nor these people <sigh>), not marking this as an alpha can on the long run cause more harm than it helps now to have access to this version.
Moreover, all the packages that have "Depends: python" force python23 installation (when you try selfupdate and update-all), resulting in having some Python packages installed under v2.3 tree and others under v2.2 tree. This situation force a user to upgrade to python23 even if it is an alpha release.
I think the situation should be fixed unless v2.3 could be judged already reliable.
Cheers, Andrea.
