Good question. PEP 356 says beta 1 was planned two days
ago...

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0356/

I'd also like to get the new winerror module in before
beta1 is released - documentation will follow next week:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1505257&group_id=5470

Is it OK to first check in a pure Python version and then
replace this with a C implementation having the same interface
later on in the beta cycle ?
