Hi everyone! The first alpha of 3.1 will be coming out this Saturday, so I would appreciate you not breaking anything too egregiously. :) If you think some thing should hold up the release, mark the issue a release blocker or contact me by email or "gutworth" on #python-dev. I have been talking with Antoine about io in C implementation. We would like to merge the branch before Saturday, so it can get some real world testing. io-c, however, hasn't received much through review. Would somebody have time to go through a diff on Rietveld? On Saturday, I will try to start doing the release around 16:00 UTC. -- Regards, Benjamin
