[Python-Dev] Plan to merge descr-branch into trunk

Unless somebody raises a killer objection over the next ~24 hours, I plan to merge the descr-branch back into the trunk Wednesday PM (EDT), thus ending descr-branch as a distinct line of Python development. Since it would be intractably hard to roll back the code changes, this represents a solid commitment to Guido's type/class work for 2.2 final. There may be objections on those grounds. If so, good luck selling them to Guido <wink>. I don't have any worries about the mechanics of the merge, so you shouldn't either. We've been very conscientious over the last month+ about merging trunk changes into descr-branch frequently, and of course I'll do that one last time before going the other direction. all's-well-that-ends-ly y'rs - tim
