I don't think we should add a 2.8 tag, that > would give false hope. It should definitely be added by the alpha, but I don't know if now is a bit early. Regardless, I looked at the tracker and the code there doesn't seem to match what has been pushed to bugs.python.org (3.2 is not listed and 2.4 still is). Martin, is that correct? Otherwise why does initial_data.py not match what's live? -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
