The time schedules in PEP 361 (2.6 release schedule) and what Guido has said for 3k (from what I remember) are roughly:
April 2007 - 3.0 PEPs and features accepted/decided June 2007 - 3.0a1 - basic (most) features implemented Dec 2007 - 2.6a1 Apr 2008 - 2.6 final July 2008 - 3.0 final
Even if we slip these schedules, as long as we keep them in relative order, we can keep 2.6 robust, while also offering many of the 3k features.
I said semi-jokingly that the first release of Py3k should be / literally/ called Python 3000. Then each successive stabilizing release should drop a zero -- e.g. Python 3000, then Python 300, then Python 30. By the time we get to Python 3 all we should basically have to do is change the defaults of whatever Python 2.x version is out to complete the transition. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBReJgp3EjvBPtnXfVAQIZQgP+K5iWRTYHYvqb3cAUFJw/yDDiz5JPG94x XdMEnCUXwJVyU30q3FGSNeaz3hwQq7xgJuH5DBRHnGkxp7H/K42ft/KXnJVGnkt4 Kai8e26+zBXmCSCTVdJyKhpAiiFAqKTw26+L+a1jyJdSbUnly3coBAvRaOS9oQn6 QcVfx5vCOsM= =o7Ux -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
