Message 118820 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Not that anybody needs my input on this, but...

Given the range of people advocating for this change, this looks to me like it should be a release blocker for 3.2. Raymond's comment about performance seems especially important, and since the world seems to be moving toward 64-bit operating systems (certainly should happen in a big way during the lifetime of Python 3) it seems worthwhile to hold up further 3.2 releases until this is solved.
