We therefore need to decide what those three sessions should be about. Please discuss on python-dev and hopefully we can arrive at some consensus on topics of reasonably wide current interest. (See http://us.pycon.org/2009/about/summits/language/ for a reminder of last year's topics.)
I'd like to have a discussion on the future of 2.x, at least as far as core development goes. Supporting both 2.x and 3.x cuts my contributions in half, at best. For example, in order to keep 2.x and 3.x nearly in sync, Mark and I back-ported the API's for short-float-repr to 2.x, even though 2.x itself didn't see any benefit from that work (well, at least not much of a benefit).
My initial thought is let's stop after 2.7 (if we even release 2.7). But it all depends on uptake of 3.x, and what stopping core development means to the community.
Can we discuss this at the language summit? Eric. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
