Draft of announce message at www.python.org/2.3.1/announce.txt

I pulled down rc2 and ran the tests randomly on RH9, with "-u all -r". I see that test_mimetypes failed unexpectedly:

test test_mimetypes failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/Python-2.3.1/Lib/test/test_mimetypes.py", line 52, in test_guess_all_types eq(all, ['.bat', '.c', '.h', '.ksh', '.pl', '.txt']) File "/tmp/Python-2.3.1/Lib/unittest.py", line 302, in failUnlessEqual raise self.failureException,
AssertionError: ['.asc', '.bat', '.c', '.h', '.ksh', '.pl', '.txt'] != ['.bat', '.c', '.h', '.ksh', '.pl', '.txt']

test_bsddb3 produced two locker killed messages, which didn't happen last time I tested from the HEAD. Then again I wasn't running the tests with -r last time either, but I also understand that these tracebacks can happen and don't cause the tests to fail.

In the first run, test_queue also failed, with this output:

test_queue test test_queue failed -- blocking function '<bound method Queue.get of <Queue.Queue instance at 0x402471cc>>' appeared not to block

Of these, it seems like the mimetypes one should be fixed before the release. I doubt I'll have time today to debug it, but I could probably arrange to run another test on RH9 if need be.
