For 2.5a1...

Some exposure of _PyLong_AsByteArray() and _PyLong_FromByteArray() to Python. There was a discussion about this almost a year ago (http://python.org/sf/1023290), and no mechanism (struct format code addition, binascii.tolong/fromlong, long.tostring/fromstring, ...) actually made it into Python 2.4 . At this point, I'd be happy to get /any/ mechanism, with a preference to struct and/or binascii (I'd put them in both, if only because different groups of people people may look for them in both places, and people who use one tend to like to use that one for as much as possible, and because the code additions in both are minor).

So I'm currently planning for a 2.4.2 sometime around mid September. I figure we cut a release candidate either on the 7th or 14th, and a final a week later. In addition, I'd like to suggest we think about a first alpha of 2.5 sometime during March 2006, with a final release sometime around May-June. This would mean (assuming people are happy with this) we need to make a list of what's still outstanding for 2.5. There's a bunch of accepted PEPs that are waiting for code. Once that's done, there will be a final 2.4.3 sometime after or close to the 2.5 final release. Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony at interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
