hi Mark, yes that's my point. I have heard rumors of python2.8? At some point I would expect that the Cpython interpreter would 'freeze' and no one would fix it any longer. I have a serious question, namely, why does the Cpython community continue to suppport two interpreters rather than asking the Cpython user-base to migrate to Cpython3?
Oh, I have another serious question about implementations. I'm not sure about (50) implementations, but I know that Jython and IronPython are serious contenders (although, I have not, nor probably will, use them).
Are the other implementation communities *also* supporting two versions of the language? Is there a Jython2 &also a Jython3 ?
