On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm  
happy to announce the second alpha release of Python 2.6, and the  
fourth alpha release of Python 3.0.

Please note that these are alpha releases, and as such are not  
suitable for production environments.  We continue to strive for a  
high degree of quality, but there are still some known problems and  
the feature sets have not been finalized.  These alphas are being  
released to solicit feedback and hopefully discover bugs, as well as  
allowing you to determine how changes in 2.6 and 3.0 might impact  
you.  If you find things broken or incorrect, please submit a bug  
report at

    http://bugs.python.org

For more information and downloadable distributions, see the Python  
2.6 web
site:

    http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6/

and the Python 3.0 web site:

    http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.0/

We are planning one more alpha release of each version, followed by  
two beta releases, with the final releases planned for August 2008.   
See PEP 361 for release details:

Enjoy,
