AFAIK, there hasn't been any work on the new IO system or str/unicode unification. Guido asked for help on these, but I don't know if there were any takers. Sprints will be held over the next several days, so hopefully there will be some work in these areas.
Right. To be honest, I consider the str/unicode unification a much bigger project than the new I/O library. I plan to do the new I/O library first (mostly in Python) first, hopefully at the PyCon sprint, since it can be done with the bytes and unicode objects; the old I/O library will break once we do the unification so the I/O library must be replaced before the unification can be started. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
