When 2.7 was discussed several people agreed that 2.7 should include as much 3.x stuff as possible to ease transition. That turned out to not be very much, so I'm not sure there is more. :) Unless of course, 2.8 starts including more of the refactored libraries, but that's a very minor issue in porting, so it won't help much. To really help, it needs to start implement things that break backwards compatibility. That would be weird. :) -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ 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
