This is a reminder that the LAST planned alpha releases of Python 2.6 and 3.0 are scheduled for next Wednesday, 07-May-2008. Please be diligent over the next week so that none of your changes break Python. The stable buildbots look moderately okay, let's see what we can do about getting them all green:

I like to draw some attention to two features for the last alpha:

PEP 370: Per user site-packages directory http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370/

Alternative memory allocation for ints, floats and longs using PyMalloc instead of the current block allocation. The issue has been discussed in great length a few months ago but without a final decision. http://bugs.python.org/issue2039
