On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the third alpha of Python 2.4.

Python 2.4a3 is an alpha release. We'd greatly appreciate it if you could download it, kick the tires and let us know of any problems you find, but it is not suitable for production usage.

~ http://www.python.org/2.4

In this release we have PEP-292 string templates, a new syntax for multi-line imports, and a large number of other bug fixes and improvements. See either the highlights, the What's New in Python 2.4, or the detailed NEWS file -- all available from the Python 2.4 webpage.

This will hopefully be the last alpha in the Python 2.4 cycle - a first beta will follow in a few weeks. Once the first beta is out, we're in feature-freeze mode - so if you've got new things you want in, make sure you hurry!

Please log any problems you have with this release in the SourceForge bug tracker (noting that you're using 2.4a3):

Enjoy the new release, Anthony
