[Python-3000] [Python-Dev] 2.6 and 3.0 project management

[Anand Balachandran Pillai]

Hi,

  Sorry for the late reply. Looked into the bug list, the following bugs
looked interesting.

http://bugs.python.org/issue2122
http://bugs.python.org/issue2188
http://bugs.python.org/issue2320
http://bugs.python.org/issue2325
http://bugs.python.org/issue2355
http://bugs.python.org/issue2389

There are also many bugs filed for Py3k which are patterned
like "deprecated feature <oldfeature> should raise a warning in py3k".
Are they in any priority ?

I would like looking into any or some of the above bugs or perhaps
the warning bugs. How do I go about doing it ?

Thanks

--Anand
