Hello Guido,

How close are you to merging this into the Py3k branch? It looks like a solid piece of work, that can only get better in the period between now and the release of 3.2. But I don't want to rush you, and I only have had a brief look at your code.

The code is ready. Priority requests are already disabled, I'm just wondering whether to remove them from the code, or leave them there in case someone thinks they're useful. I suppose removing them is ok.

My only suggestion so far: the description could use more explicit documentation on the various variables and macros and how they combine.

Is it before or after http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2009-November/087482.html ?

Regards

Antoine.
