The 2.0 release manager (Jeremy) is on vacation. In his absence, here's a reminder from the 2.0 release schedule: Aug. 14: All 2.0 PEPs finished / feature freeze See the rest at: http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0200.html Note that that's Monday! Any new "new feature" patches submitted after Sunday will be mindlessly assigned Postponed status. New "new feature" patches submitted after this instant but before Monday will almost certainly be assigned Postponed status too -- just not entirely mindlessly . "Sunday" and "Monday" are defined by wherever Guido happens to be. "This instant" is defined by me, and probably refers to some time in the past from your POV; it's negotiable.

This reminder comes JIT!

Then please make coincide the above dates/instants with the status of the open patches and take a stance on them: assign them to people, postpone, whatever.

I deliberately postponed my object malloc patch.

PS: this is also JIT as per the stackless discussion -- I mentioned "consider for inclusion" which was interpreted as "inclusion for 2.0" . God knows that I tried to be very careful when writing my position statement... OTOH, there's still a valid deadline for 2.0!

PPS: is the pep-0200.html referenced above up to date? For instance, I see it mentions SET_LINENO pointing to old references, while a newer postponed patch is at SourceForge.

A "last modified " stamp would be nice.
