This article doesn't attempt to provide a complete specification of the new features, but instead provides a convenient overview.

Here's a partial list of the most notable changes, sorted alphabetically by module name. Consult the \file{Misc/NEWS} file in the source tree for a more complete list of changes, or look through the CVS logs for all the details. \begin{itemize} \item Descriptions go here. \end{itemize} %====================================================================== % whole new modules get described in \subsections here % ====================================================================== \section{Build and C API Changes} Changes to Python's build process and to the C API include: \begin{itemize} \item Detailed changes are listed here. \end{itemize} %====================================================================== \subsection{Port-Specific Changes} Platform-specific changes go here. %====================================================================== \section{Other Changes and Fixes \label{section-other}} As usual, there were a bunch of other improvements and bugfixes scattered throughout the source tree. A search through the CVS change logs finds there were XXX patches applied and YYY bugs fixed between Python X.Y-1 and 2.5. Both figures are likely to be underestimates. Some of the more notable changes are: \begin{itemize} \item Details go here. \end{itemize} %====================================================================== \section{Porting to Python 2.5} This section lists previously described changes that may require changes to your code: \begin{itemize} \item Everything is all in the details! \end{itemize} %====================================================================== \section{Acknowledgements \label{acks}} The author would like to thank the following people for offering suggestions, corrections and assistance with various drafts of this article: . \end{document}
