It's well possible that there are good reasons for pushing along with 2.7. Maybe considering those reasons will also help answering questions about whether to backport things like nonlocal.)
2.7 has an up-to-date backport of the C IO lib (as well as the memoryview object), which means it is better for people wanting to ease transition to 3.x.
But of course, as Martin said, few people will want to support 2.7 only and not 2.6.
Since 2.7 will be closer to 3.2 than 2.6, the result will more likely be: many people will want to support 2.7 and 3.x - which is really what we should be after. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Nov 03 2009)
