Note that Guido posted a note to c.l.py on Monday. I believe that meets your notification criteria.
ahem. do you seriously believe that everyone in the Python universe reads comp.lang.python?
afaik, most Python programmers don't.
Now you're simply taking my comments out of context. Not a proper thing to do. Ken said that he wanted notification along certain guidelines. I said that I believed Guido's post did just that. Period. Personally, I think it is fine. I also think that a CHANGES file that arrives with 1.6 that points out the incompatibility is also fine.

And which is that? Care to help out? Maybe just a little bit? Or do you just want to talk about how bad this change is? :-( Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
