Can we say that the 2.3 branch is frozen from Tuesday? As this is likely to be the final 2.3 release (modulo any suprising new bugs), I'd like the time to try and nail this one.
I'd like to include some of the proposed gettext improvements into that candidate, but I'm not sure I'll get the necessary time, since we're in a rush for a new distribution release. Will try to prepare a patch in the weekend.
Huh? We're talking about a bugfix release for 2.3 here. Not a good time for improvements, which sounds to me like a euphemism for new features, not for bug fixes. Even if they are backwards compatible, I'm still -1 on adding new features to a bugfix release. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
