Indeed. I think we can still make that goal; there isn't anything big that I really want in the release. The only think that I'd like to add is renaming buffer -> bytearray, and perhaps add ABCs for (bytes, bytearray) and <bytes, memoryview etc.>. Then there's smaller stuff, like removing more places that accept both PyString and PyUnicode and forcing them to either require PyUnicode or anything that supports the buffer API. (E.g. I noticed socket.send() still accepts strings.) I doubt that I'll be able to get to much of that this week, as it's a 3-day week in the US, and I'm fairly busy with my day job. But next week I expect to be able to focus on the release. Is there anything that you (or anyone else!) would really like to see added to or fixed in 3.0a2?
