I think this should be for 3.5, and should not involve an accelerated release of 3.5 - we should get it into the 3.5 code early and let people thrash out the details during the 3.5 release cycle. I disagree, it should be on pypi now so people can start trying it out, or as others have suggested incorporate it into the six module. Surely that'd make the job of getting it into 3.5 far easier? It's a bit harder to put a core feature on PyPI. I'm not even sure how it would be done. Fortunately, once it is in 3.5 trunk the adventurous can build their own and try it out that way.

You make it a function that under Python 2 and < 3.5 does what needs to be done and on 3.5 just directly calls the underlying method. People will still have to change their code, but the idea is it becomes a refactoring instead of a change in how the code is structured. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
