Moving the alpha release from after a weekend to before a weekend is a bit of 
a hassle for me, too. I'd hoped to have the functional->functool move done 
this weekend, but wasn't too worried about getting it finished because I had 
next weekend as a fallback.

Now it appears I'll need to find time to do it sometime this week instead. 
That's certainly possible, but it's somewhat inconvenient. We don't all get to 
do Python-related things on work time ;)

Cheers,
Nick.
