Two questions wrt 2.2.1:
- Is there a timeline for it? I couldn't find one in PEP251 (which stops at 2.2 final). The reason I ask is that there's a serious flaw in MacPython (has been there since day one) that renders it useless on multiprocessor Mac OS X machines. I'm waiting for an external party to fix this (as the problem is in an external library), but I could put a bit of pressure on if 2.2.1 is due reasonably soon (as I hope).
No timeline -- that sort of depends on how many really bad bugs are reported, and whether someone volunteers as a release mananger.
- The final bits of the Mac tree havne't been checked in yet, should we move the release22-maint branch when that's done? Can you move a branch? How?
Fred anticipated that; he said he would just move the tags when necessary. Don't worry about it. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
