No. It's not going to happen, for all the reasons discussed previously. Python 2.8 is not a solution to anything. If a new, incompatible compiler suite is required, why can't there just be multiple Windows downloads on https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.7/ ? Well, on reason is that you'd have to convince MvL or someone else to take over the work that would require, but that's gotta be *much* lighter weight than releasing a Python 2.8. -Barry
