Please hold off on any checkins to the trunk for the next 24 hours or so (I'll post a followup when we're done) for 2.4a2. (The usual exception for the release team of me, Fred and Martin applies). Once the second alpha is out the door, I plan to put together a list of items that are still pending for 2.4 - any that can't find someone to do the work will have to seriously be considered at risk. At the moment, the major piece of orphaned work is the relative imports and multi-line imports. The only other piece of major unfinished work that springs to mind is the $string interpolation, but there's a bunch of other smaller pieces. I updated the release PEP after the first alpha - it's probably useful for a few folks to scan through this and see if I missed anything. Ta, Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony@interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

If Barry doesn't have time for this one, I'll work on it. Raymond

I'm still planning to work on it and get it in for 2.4a3, and I know that Raymond has offered to help. Raymond, email me directly and we'll arrange a time to chat about it on irc. I have a couple of open issues that are waiting to be resolved before this PEP lands. -Barry

The release is done. Please keep the trunk frozen for another 8 hours or so, in case I need to cut an emergency fix-up release. I'll send another email in the morning to open it up again. Thanks, Anthony

I'm done with the trunk. Please feel free to check in again.

Although I have checkin permission on CVS I would appreciate it if someone could look at my socketpair() patch before I do check it in... Could people who care about the addition of socketpair() to the socket module please have a look at patch #1003700. The patch is relative to 2.4a1 but applies cleanly to 2.4a2 with slight offsets. - Dave -- http://www.object-craft.com.au

In the name of bringing this thread up out of the noise: we need a "go/no go" on applying this patch to the tree prior to a3 (the patch adds "socketpair" to the socket module. Can I ask if the gods can spend a moment reviewing it (it's well localised and includes test and documentation updates)?

Let me repeat my earlier response to this kind of request: If you want to "push" a patch into Python, the best way to get my attention is to review 10 patches, comment on them, and post the summary of the review to python-dev. If you do this often enough, you will become one of the gods yourself :-) That said, I think adding socketpair is a harmless extension. Regards, Martin
