Greetings Python Developers! We released version 1.4.3 of the App Engine SDK yesterday. In addition to a number of great features for Python developers, it is also important because it represents the last version of the SDK that will be compatible with Python 2.4. Going forward, we will require you to use at least Python 2.5 to match the version of Python that runs in the production environment. Moving to Python 2.5 will also allow us to make a number of changes to make the developer tools easier to use and maintain.
For developers currently using Python 2.4, we strongly recommend you upgrade to Python 2.5 as soon as possible. However, for those of you without the ability to upgrade (grumpy sysadmins, etc), you can continue to use version 1.4.3 of the App Engine SDK going forward. However, you will not be able to take advantage of new features of the App Engine platform as they are released. We apologies for the inconvenience (on the bright side, you have an excuse to play with the new features of 2.5)! Another piece of good news is that work has begun on the next Python run API to support 2.7! You'll also find this and other forthcoming features on our product roadmap at: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/roadmap.html Best regards, - the Google App Engine team - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wesc+api at google.com :: @wescpy developer relations :: google cloud products -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
