List comprehensions originated as a patch from Greg Ewing that's now being kept up-to-date versus the CVS tree by Skip Montanaro. Originally they weren't on the roadmap for 1.6, but with the greater version number jump to 2.0, GvR is more willing to incorporate larger changes.
It may be worth mentioning that augmented assignment is also being considered for 2.0, and possibly other operators (we still haven't heard from Guido on that, I believe, and there was at least one +1 from Eric.) Also, maybe the outcome of small CNRI/BeOpen thread would be nice to mention? CNRI says they will release python 1.6, and python 2.0 will probably (possibly ?) be released by BeOpen after that ? -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
