Martin suggests, and I agree, that we should release Python 3.0 final and 2.6.1 at the same time. Makes sense to me. That would mean that Python 2.6.1 should be ready on 03-Dec (well, if Python 3.0 is ready then!). 2.6.1 only two months after 2.6? Why so quickly? Anyway, I don't see any added value in the synchronization, so taking in consideration all the effort you're putting in these releases, I would just want to minimize your workload... which is easier to you? doing both at the same time or not?

There have been several corrections made to the 2to3 conversion tool - it would be good to get those in developer's hands at the same time that 3.0 final becomes available.

Cheers, Nick.
