[Python-Dev] Python 2.3a1 release -- Dec 31

[Guido van Rossum]

I expect that I'll have more time for the Python 2.3 release the rest
of this year, so I will do my darndest to do an alpha release before
the year is over.  I've partially updated PEP 283 (the release
schedule), though there are still a lot of things to be done that
aren't there.  I'll get to these on Thursday.

I've read PEP 302, and while there are some things left to discuss, I
would really like to see Just's code checked in for the alpha release,
so that it gets widespread testing.  Just, are you up for that?

Happy holidays everybody!
