Proposal: Moratorium on Python language changes
Proposal: Moratorium on Python language changes
[Development] Posted Oct 21, 2009 21:08 UTC (Wed) by corbet
Guido van Rossum has proposed that the Python development community stop
changing language features for "several years." "The reason is that frequent changes to the
language cause pain for implementors of alternate implementations
(Jython, IronPython, PyPy, and others probably already in the wings)
at little or no benefit to the average user (who won't see the changes
for years to come and might not be in a position to upgrade to the
latest version for years after).
" Besides, he would really like to
see the community working on building acceptance for Python 3.
