[Ironpython-users] Item 34263 in 2.7.5?

[Daniel Fernandez]

Hi Vernon,
Sounds great! I wasn't sure about the migration from 2.7 to 3.x but now I am excited about IronPython 3.x where do I sign up :)

I think that would be version 3.3 (or will it be 3.4?) which will be the next "major" release. (Since there will never be a version of Python 2 higher than "2.7" all 2.x releases henceforth will be "point" releases. 


  Let me hasten to point out that, since the unicode vs string vs bytes issue in Python 3 is well defined, the transition to IronPython 3 ought to be painless.  Many of the incompatibilities between IronPython and CPython will just go away. Since we will skip ["3.0", "3.1", "3.2"] we will never have to remove the u"unicode string marker", which was the biggest pain in writing runs-on-either version code.  2.7 <-> 3.3 is easy.

Hi Jeff,
Do you think this will be released in 2.7.6?
