[Python-Dev] Py3k code freeze imminent; 3.0a2 release Friday

[Guido van Rossum]

As people have been disregarding the freeze anyway, I declare the py3k
branch back open. I tagged it with r30a2 yesterday morning and that's
the version that I'll be releasing shortly (waiting for Crys & me to
sort out some things around the Windows MSI installer).
