Any reason not to skip 2.6? I don't agree that it is essential to goto 3.x in the short term. I don't think the community has really said that it's essential in the short term either from the previous email thread. In my book (not speaking for SCons as a whole), it's a nice to have which will help some (of the very few) for whom installing a non 3.x python would be a difficulty. I do think it's a good idea to get rid of a lot of the old python compatibility logic. Getting to 2.7 is a nice step towards moving SCons forward with a goal of 3.x in the mid to longer term (IHMO).. -Bill _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
