Is there any discussion still going on about the details of the PEP (now PEP 394)? I'm in favor of the general idea. What about Windows? I think it should be the same there if possible.
I think a key issue is whether to change future 2.7 bug fix releases or not. People have been opposed to the very notion of adding this feature in a bug fix release; not sure how they feel if the change is PEP-sanctioned.
I personally don't think it's necessary to change Python 2's build. Distros can easily do it, pointing to the PEP for justification. But I'm also not strongly opposed, so -0 from me. -Barry
