Abstract
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document describes the post-Python 2.1 development and
|
|
|
|
|
|
release schedule. The schedule primarily concerns itself with
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEP-sized items. Small bug fixes and changes will occur up until
|
|
|
|
|
|
the first beta release.

NOTE: the schedule below and the list of features under
|
|
|
|
|
|
consideration are all subject to change! If the energy in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
community changes or the feedback on a PEP is particularly
|
|
|
|
|
|
positive or negative, this may affect decisions.

Release Mechanics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'd like to experiment with a new mechanism for releases: a week
|
|
|
|
|
|
before every alpha, beta or other release, I'll fork off a branch
|
|
|
|
|
|
which will become the release; changes to the branch will have to
|
|
|
|
|
|
be approved before they can be checked in. This is how some other
|
|
|
|
|
|
large projects (e.g. Mozilla) work, and I hope it will help reduce
|
|
|
|
|
|
the number of bugs introduced in releases at the last minute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Planned features for 2.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following features are already checked in on the head revision
|
|
|
|
|
|
(for a more detailed account, see Misc/NEWS):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- iterators (pep-0234)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following features are scheduled to go in; work is still
|
|
|
|
|
|
ongoing in defining the exact appearance of the features:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- generators (pep-0255)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- unification of types and classes (pep-0252, pep-0253, pep-0254)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following features are under consideration:
|
2001-04-18 06:28:43 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
2001-06-22 11:36:31 -04:00
|
|
|
|
- a standard set API (implemented in Python for now) (pep-0218)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- a 'directive' statement (pep-0244)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- unifying long ints and plain ints (pep-0237)
|
2001-04-18 06:28:43 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
2001-06-22 11:36:31 -04:00
|
|
|
|
There needs to be more discussion of each of these before we can
|
|
|
|
|
|
decide.
