Unicode 4.0 updates to unicodedata?

[David Opstad]

Hi, all! I'm relatively new to Python, but have definitely fallen in 
love with it. It reminds me of Mesa (old Xerox development language) and 
LISP a bit.

Anyway, on to the question. Now that Unicode 4.0 has been released (just 
got my copy today), any guesses on how long before the unicodedata 
module will be updated to include all the new names? How do things like 
that work, anyway; is there somebody whose task it is to update that, or 
are they awaiting volunteers to help out? And once the module is 
updated, is it generally usable on earlier Python releases (I'm running 
the 2.2 that came with the OS X developer package for Jaguar)?

Cheers!
