That's exactly the reason why I would like to separate language number from pypy advances in other areas, so we can separate two issues. It seems unlikely that we can come up with two different python versions, but even if we do we can invent new naming scheme. I just think pure numbering, like 1.1 is completely meaningless (but it actually supports language version 2.5). _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
