I'm just curious as to why there are 54 open issues after both of these PEPs have been accepted and 384 is listed as finished. Did we hit some unforeseen technical problem which stalled development?

I tried to bring some sanity to that effort by opening a "meta issue":

My enthusiasm, however, vanished after I reviewed the refactoring for the datetime module:

My main objections are to following PEP 384 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384/> (Stable ABI) within stdlib modules. I see little benefit for the stdlib (which is shipped fresh with every new version of Python) from following those guidelines. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
