I don't think that is a very safe bet. Python 2.0 missed the Debian Potato boat.

By a long time -- potato was frozen for a few months when 2.0 came out.

I have no idea when Woody is expected to be released but I expect it may take longer than that if history is any indication.

My bet is that woody starts freezing as soon as 2.4.0 is out. Note that once it starts freezing, 2.1 doesn't have a shot of getting in, regardless of how long it takes to freeze. OTOH, since in woody time there's a good chance for the "testing" distribution, a lot more people would be running something that *can* and *will* upgrade to 2.1 almost as soon as it is out. (For the record, most of the Debian users I know run woody on their server) -- Moshe Zadka <sig@zadka.site.co.il> This is a signature anti-virus. Please stop the spread of signature viruses!
