Personally I still think the whole idea of a 2.8 is nonsense that would only serve to divert already scarce resources. Fixing some of the 4,000 (?) open issues on the bug tracker would come higher up my list, particularly as some of them have been sitting there for ten years. Or how about finally getting the "new" regex module into the standard library? -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language. Mark Lawrence
