[Python-Dev] Python 3000 Process

[Guido van Rossum]

The Python 3000 mailing list has been created. From now on let's have
all discussions related to Python 3000 on that list. Please subscribe
here:

  http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000

Let's start by attempting to answer the process questions: timeline;
upgrade path; library reform; implementation strategy; and feature
proposal process. I'll be away tomorrow so there's plenty of
opportunity to start without me. :-)

There's also a list for Python-3000-related checkins. Don't subscribe
to that one yet, it's very boring and uninteresting. Also, Barry
hasn't done the svn magic yet. :-)

BTW please be patient with inquiries about Python 3000 on python-dev.
While *proposals* of new features etc. can safely be referred to the
python-3000 list, *questions* on python-dev about Python 3000 (e.g.
"when will it be released" or "will I have to rewrite all my code" or
even "what's the fate of existing feature X") are best answered,
initially directly on python-dev, eventually by referring to the
appropriate PEPs once they have been written (and are on-line -- a
sore point right now since the new website has broken the process for
updating the on-line copies of PEPs automatically upon checkin into
svn).
