Hi Everybody,
Just a quick heads up. The Python moratorium has been adopted. There will be no language changes (syntax or semantics) or changes to built-ins for two years (retroactively) from the release of Python 3.1 (which looks like it was Jun 27, 2009, so the moratorium will go until summer of 2011). It is expected that 3.2 will be released during this time, but 3.3 will be released afterwards.
This moratorium is covered by PEP 3003.

This suspension of features is designed to allow non-CPython implementations to "catch up" to the core implementation of the language, help ease adoption of Python 3.x, and provide a more stable base for the community.
This moratorium is covered by PEP 3003.
