[Python-Dev] list comprehensions again...

Yes, there's something on http://pythonlabs.com/tech/python2.html.  We
currently can't commit to a release schedule due to the problems with
CNRI.

That's up for debate.  Reversing our usual good-cop-bad-cop roles, Tim
Peters is for a feature freeze while I am for adding more features to
2.0 to make it stand apart. :-)

It's not wise to commit changes without agreement on whether they
should be applied...  Anyway, the patches are currently in Tim Peters'
court.

Are your changes different from what's already in the patch manager
for list comprehensions?  If so, you should probably upload a revised
patch...
