[RELEASED] Python 3.2
On behalf of the Python development team, I'm delighted to announce Python 3.2 final release. Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the Python 3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line will only receive bugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only. Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there are no changes in Python's syntax and built-in types in Python 3.2. Development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for porting code to Python 3. Highlights are: * numerous improvements to the unittest module * PEP 3147, support for .pyc repository directories * PEP 3149, support for version tagged dynamic libraries * PEP 3148, a new futures library for concurrent programming * PEP 384, a stable ABI for extension modules * PEP 391, dictionary-based logging configuration * an overhauled GIL implementation that reduces contention * an extended email package that handles bytes messages * a much improved ssl module with support for SSL contexts and certificate hostname matching * a sysconfig module to access configuration information * additions to the shutil module, among them archive file support * many enhancements to configparser, among them mapping protocol support * improvements to pdb, the Python debugger * countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support for a bytes environment (filenames, environment variables) * many consistency and behavior fixes for numeric operations For a more extensive list of changes in 3.2, see http://docs.python.org/3.2/whatsnew/3.2.html To download Python 3.2 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/ Please consider trying Python 3.2 with your code and reporting any bugs you may notice to: http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy! - -- Georg Brandl, Release Manager georg at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.2's contributors)

Congratulation to all Python developers for this wonderful release! And a special kudo to our release manager, Georg. I hope that Python 3 is now stable enough to support migration of major projects like Django, Twisted or Zope. Other important projets like Distribute, Jinja2, PyQt, PyGObject, pygame, NumPy+SciPy and Sphinx are already compatible with Python 3. Victor

Indeed, great job Georg. I hereby nominate you for Python 3.3 RM. No good deed goes unpunished. :)

Agreed! I hope porting to Python 3 can be a major theme for Pycon this year. -Barry

Well, I guess that makes sense. In a twisted way :) Georg
