Coghlan: Of Python and Road Maps (or the lack thereof) [LWN.net]

Python core developer Nick Coghlan has put together a summary of what is happening in Python development based on his recent PyCon AU talk. "Personally, I think the status quo in this space is in a pretty good place, with python-dev and CPython handling the evolution of the language specification itself, as well as providing an implementation that will work reasonably well on almost any platform with a C compiler (and preferably some level of POSIX compliance), while the PyPy crew focus on providing a fast, customisable implementation for the major platforms without getting distracted by arguments about possible new language features."
