Coghlan: Of Python and Road Maps (or the lack thereof)
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.
