As I see it we have several problems serious enough to delay a release. First, we have no green 2.6 or 3.0 buildbots http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/stable/ It looks like few of the buildbots for 2.6 are actually online, but still, the 3.0 buildbots are all failing. We still have, and have had for a long time now, serious problems with the multiprocessing module: http://bugs.python.org/issue?@columns=title,id,activity,versions,status&@sort=activity&@filter=priority,status&@pagesize=50&@startwith=0&priority=1&status=1&@dispname=Showstoppers I noticed today that _multiprocessing.so has build problems on OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 8.04. I opened a separate issue about that so as not to get lost in the other bug about test_multiprocessing hanging. As evidenced by the thread for issue 3088, lots of people have put a lot of work into this module, but unfortunately we're still not there. These seem serious enough to me to hold up the release, especially since we have only one more beta left. Speaking of which, we have a number of deferred blockers: http://bugs.python.org/issue?@columns=title,id,activity,status&@sort=activity&@group=priority&@filter=priority,status&@pagesize=50&@startwith=0&priority=6&status=1&@dispname=Deferred%20Blockers These will not block beta 2, but they /will/ block beta 3, so they really need some attention. Please everyone, if you have only a little bit of time to work on Python, I hope you will attack the release critical and deferred blocker issues, and work on turning the buildbots green. These are the top priorities in order to get 2.6 and 3.0 out on time. And just as added incentive, our October 1st goal is being noted by downstream vendors. I've been told that "Apple is willing to take the new Python if it is GM on schedule by Oct 1st, but may not if it is delayed" though you should not infer anything about Apple's schedule from this. Still, we won't sacrifice quality in order to hit the October 1st goal. After beta 2, I start getting mean. :) - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBSH31HHEjvBPtnXfVAQIH+AQAtkRJo0uhvZ300jq0YSR6ezUU0tMHJwmd pwLWwZWDqPyh3/ohKwrajdGm5hYS8gOnTo+k2XEEJjQJdLMTblzZ3ArsGfhXHqbV GPeKK/6BYT6SOD75ubINq+jSsu6Pvjsadbk/cp/x53WwHL8kX40D0YQBhp3KQRrz zgFmfVFPcys= =3SDN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
