I seem to recall that when we discussed the future of Python 2.x, and the decision that 2.7 would be the final version and there would be no 2.8, we reached a consensus that if anyone did backport Python 3 features to a Python 2 fork, they should not call it Python 2.8 as that could mislead people into thinking it was officially supported. I think the project should be renamed to make it clear that its a fork, like Stackless. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
