[Python-Dev] Python 2.5a1, ast-branch and PEP 342 and 343 (original) (raw)

I think this is mainly a question for Guido - where do we stand with respect to the ast-branch for Python 2.5?

If we're targetting a March release for 2.5a1, then we probably need to land implementations for PEP 342 and PEP 343 at least a couple of months before that, and the current patches on Sourceforge are against HEAD, not ast-branch (for obvious reasons).

So, not only does ast-branch need to be brought up to Python 2.4 compliance and checked for any memory leaks when compilation attempts fail (I suspect there are a few of those), but additional work is needed to implement PEP 342 and PEP 343 as well.

For Python 2.4, Guido gave a target date well before the first alpha release for landing the ast-branch if it was going to be included. Is the same thing going to happen for Python 2.5 (setting the target date, that is - not the fact that the ast-branch didn't get included!)

Cheers, Nick.
