latter because otherwise people will do {{{sage -i sage-mode}}} and still
get 0.7 or nothing. Probably that was just a typo.

new one. Good eye. Maybe this is something that should even be changed
for the 0.7 spkg, to be honest... too bad about backward compatibility,
but this is pretty important.
But it's been that way for a long time, so IMHO it's not worth recreating
the 0.7 spkg just for that. Can you tell I'm lazy? :-)

it, we can do that here too. But your big warnings about being
EXPERIMENTAL and so forth kind of made me think that you weren't too keen
on that yet :)
Well, I've been trying to get it to work with changes in the latest
python.el (a complete rewrite that will be in Emacs 24.2 when it gets
released). It still doesn't fully work, but neither does 0.7 or before,
so releasing 0.8 wouldn't be worse. However, I'm afraid that while
updating I may have broken compatibility with the old python.el. Since I
build Emacs directly from bzr it's slightly non-trivial (and boring) for
me to test with old versions. However, it's something I definitely need
to do—I just need to bite the bullet and do it. In fact I'll go do it
now...
