So it's nice that this flaw could be cleaned up, though people will naturally differ in their perceptions of how serious the problem is, and how much pain it's worth to fix it. >On Wed, Feb 21, 2001 at 07:01:05PM +0100, Fredrik Lundh wrote: >> Is it time to shut down python-dev? (yes, I'm serious) I've previously stated my intention to unsubscribe from python-dev after 2.1 ships, mostly because hacking on the Python core has ceased to be fun any more, and because my non-core projects have suffered. Once that happens, the incentive to try out new Python versions will really ebb; if I wasn't on python-dev, I don't think upgrading to 2.1 would be a big priority because none of its new features solve any burning problems for me. It's hard to say what compelling new features would make me enthuastically adopt 2.2 as soon as it comes out, and I can't really think of any -- perhaps interfaces would be such a feature. You can take that as lukewarm agreement with Fredrik's rhetorical suggestion. --amk
