We are going to postpone the first beta releases by one week. We had some problems with mail.python.org today, which prompted a query to Guido from me about the postponement. mail.python.org should now be back up normally now, as evidenced by the emailfloodl but in the meantime, Guido said: "I'd also like to see PEP 3138 (CJK-friendly repr()) and the pyprocessing PEP implemented by then, and perhaps some other small stuff." So we're going to do the first beta releases next Wednesday, June 11. Please take this time to stabilize all APIs and features, both in Python and C. Next week, I'll do a gut check on critical and release blocker bugs, so please also take a look at those and try to fix what you can.

Now is as good a time as any to mention that on Wednesday I am flying out to help my mother move. I don't know when she is going to have her Internet connection set up, so I might not be back online until June 16. But thanks to all the help I have been receiving on PEP 3108, I trust the various people involved to continue to do the right thing in my absence.
