Ditto on my development machine, except I just cvs up periodically, so I'm generally running from CVS as of a few days ago, not even 2.3. I do intend to update to 2.3 on the Mojam webserver in a short while. That should provide a nice speed boost over the 2.2.3 I'm currently running there.

I suspect that's simply because the focus was on library and performance improvements instead of new language features.

I would like to get back to PEP 304 (Control of pyc file location). I got stuck when someone raised some good objections about how it would play on Windows with it's multiple rooted file system, but if those problems can be ironed out I think it would be a good addition to the system.
