I'm planning for a release by 6pm EST today. I'm happy with the changes that've been checked in overnight and the quality control checks that have been made. I'm waiting for one more big change to land: an important API change to datetime.c that was already implemented in the .py version in the sandbox. I expect this around lunchtime (EST) today. Once that change is committed, I'll create a release branch, declare a checkin moratorium for people outside PythonLabs, and start working on the final stretch of the release process (see PEP 101 if you want to know how much work that is). If you know of other pending changes that haven't been committed, either check them in (only if they're stable, tested and documented, of course!) or let me know ASAP. Jack Jansen: I don't expect that you're quite ready with the Mac tree. Or are you? Let me know what you want me to say about the Mac in the announcement and on the web. The draft text for the website is already visible at http://www.python.org/2.3/. If you think you can use this to get some short-term gain on the stock market, please share. :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

It appears that IDLEfork will not be merged for 2.3a1. Is there a plan to merge it for 2.3?
Yes, I hope they'll be ready for 2.3a2. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

One thing I completely forgot to persue because of PEP 302 was the plan to move Tools/freeze/modulefinder.py to Lib/. I would love for this to be in 2.3a1, but nor Thomas Heller nor I have written the needed documentation for it yet. If you allow it to go into 2.3a1, I promise to submit documentation well before 2.3a2. There's also a patch from me for modulefinder.py sitting on sf which would be nice to make it in at the same time: http://www.python.org/sf/643711 It vastly reduces the number of false warnings about missing submodules. Additionally it adds a new API for getting info about missing modules which distinguishes between "surely missing" and "maybe missing". Just

Fine. At least add a note to Misc/NEWS, and make sure that the freeze tool still works.

Ditto. It looks like it's going to be at least a couple more hours before datetime.c is ready anyway. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Sorry for not telling you earlier, but all the Mac stuff (the unix-Mac-stuff, that is) has been ready since last night. MacPython-OS9 will take another week (or more), so I'd like to get control of the release branch again after the unix/win release has been done. The main bit of Mac news is that all the old MacPython tools and modules now work (if you do a framework build). I plan to do a binary release later (not for a1, probably starting with the beta's) and that will be called MacPython-OSX or MacPython for short (MacPython-OS9 will be the new name for the old MacPython). -- - Jack Jansen <Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com> http://www.cwi.nl/~jack - - If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman -
