As a python programmer, it is readily available and packaged as a parallel installable single RPM for a very long time already. The Fedora 13 plan is for better integration to take the first steps for it to be used for distribution utilities. Since Fedora uses Python extensively including for Anaconda, yum, system configuration utilities etc, this is a incremental process.

If you want to imagine sending any free and open source software developer to non existent places, feel free to.

Python moratorium and the future of 2.x

This is one time that I would cheer Fedora on in their much vaunted effort to facilitate the
adoption of new technology. But a year after the release of Python 3, is seems like Fedora is
just now making it to the starting line. As a Python consumer, it seems to me that there
would be more interest, on Fedora's part, in helping to get past this 2->3 pot hole in the road.
In short: "Fedora, we need you now. Where are you?"
