I'm not going to release rc1 tonight. There are too many open release blockers that I don't want to defer, and I'd like the buildbots to churn through the bsddb removal on all platforms. Let me first thank Benjamin, Brett, Mark and Antoine for their help on IRC tonight. Here are the issues I'm not comfortable with deferring: 3640 testcpickle crash on AMD64 Windows build 874900 threading module can deadlock after fork 3574 compile() cannot decode Latin-1 source encodings 3657 pickle can pickle the wrong function 3187 os.listdir can return byte strings 3660 reference leaks in 3.0 3594 PyTokenizerFindEncoding() never succeeds 3629 Py30b3 won't compile a regex that compiles with 2.5.2 and 30b2

I just added issue 3776 to this list: deprecate bsddb/dbhash in 2.6 for removal in 3.0 . There is a patch attached to the issue to be reviewed.
