Abstract
========

This document describes the development and release schedule for Python 2.7.
The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized items.  Small features may
be added up to and including the first beta release.  Bugs may be fixed until
the final release.


Release Manager and Crew
========================

============================ ==================


Release Schedule
================

2.7 and 3.2 will be released at the same time (or at least have feature freeze
at the same time) in order to keep the 2.x branch from having features that the
3.x one does not.

The current schedule is:

- 2.7/3.2 alpha 1 2009-12-05
- 2.7/3.2 alpha 2 2010-01-09
- 2.7/3.2 alpha 3 2010-02-06
- 2.7/3.2 alpha 4 2010-03-06
- 2.7/3.2 beta 1 2010-04-03
- 2.7/3.2 beta 2 2010-05-01
- 2.7/3.2 rc1 2010-05-29
- 2.7/3.2 rc2 2010-06-12
- 2.7/3.2 final 2010-06-26


Possible features for 2.7
=========================

Nothing here. [Note that a moratorium on core language changes is in effect.]
