> Some quick notes about the coming plans by the "other" Python implementations
> from today's Python Language Summit at PyCon 2010:
>
> - IronPython:
>     - plan is to do Python 2.7 first, focus for this year
>     - python 3.2 for the end of next year hopefully
>     - other work on IDE stuff
> - Pynie (i.e. Parrot) -- Allison Randall:
>     - about 4 major features away from pure Python syntax (did dicts last
>       night)
>     - targetting py3k repo and test suite: should be on track for python 3.2
> - Jython:
>     - plan to target 2.6 (b/c 2to3 depends on 2.6)
>     - temporarily skip 2.7 and target 3.x (probably 3.2)
>     - then if 3.x adoption isn't fully there, then go back and add Python 2.7
>     - will require JDK 2.7 for Python 3 support (b/c of new support for
>       dynamic languages)
> - PyPy (Holger):
>     - plan is Benjamin will port to Python 2.7 in the summer
>     - only have slight deviations from CPython: idea is to merge back with
>       CPython so don't have deviations. Typcically 1 or 2 line changes in ~25
>       modules.
