This sounds bogus.
Of course a newer version has been released. Who said it hasn't been? Eg, the discussion of <=2.5. Hasn't 2.6 been released? Or am I hallucinating? The point is that some packages depend on >=2.5, and others depend on <=2.5. I see no reason to deprecate the "<=" notation. _______________________________________________ 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
