I personally, have not downloaded any .xz compressed file yet. So, I would be curious to know about this new format, and if I see Python being provided in a such a novel format, I would be bit excited to try it too. :) -- Senthil _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers
