I would still like to know. Do you fully support 2.7? It has many of the 
same changes that are in 3.1 and even 3.2 so I can imagine it would be 
difficult.

Thank you for the explanation. You are right that I probably 
underestimated the work, though you have or will do some of what is 
needed to fully support 2.7.

And I did not say that. I first learned Python with 1.3 and could again 
write 2.x code if motivated.

Depend on who *you* want to target as users. *Your* choice, of course.

Let's discuss that in a couple of years.
