[Python-Dev] [RELEASED] Python 2.7 alpha 2 (original) (raw)

I guess I have more confidence in Python 3 than you do. I don't see why Python 2.x needs to be artificially limited so that Python 3 can benefit.

Because it takes too much time. Too much of my time, but apparently also too much of other people's time.

Of course, the less active fraction of Python contributors may not notice, since they just chose to not contribute (which, of course, is fine). However, asking me to work twice as much as I want to on the project to keep two branches alive is just unfair.

This has nothing to do with pushing 3.x, but all with managing available manpower and still providing quality software.

Regards, Martin
