* Unicode support: The Unicode object defined for Python 2.0 must
be provided, including all methods and codec support.
* SRE: Fredrik Lundh's new regular expression engine will be used
to provide support for both 8-bit strings and Unicode strings.
It must pass the regression test used for the pcre-based version
of the re module.
Mechanism
The release will be created as a branch from the development tree
rooted at CNRI's close of business on 16 May 2000. Patches
required from more recent checkins will be merged in by moving the
branch tag on individual files whenever possible in order to
reduce mailing list clutter and avoid divergent and incompatible
implementations.
Patches and features will be merged to the extent required to pass
regression tests in effect on 16 May 2000.
