No, it doesn't. Code that works on 2.6 and Linux 3 will likely support both linux2 and linux3, so it will continue just fine on 2.7. I'd rather phrase this differently: Python 2.6 does not support Linux 3. Tough luck, since Linux 3 was released long after Python 2.6. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12326> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
