ok, python-2.1. was released some time ago. When and how will it
appear in unstable?

IMO it doesn't make sense to support python2.0 AND python2.1 in
unstable. Therefore I propose to drop 2.0 in unstable and upload
2.1. There seem to be two ways how this can be done:

- new packages names python2.1-foobar

- same package names, but add versioned dependencies: python-foobar (>= 2.1)

The latter will cause some incompatibilities until all python2
dependent packages are uploaded for 2.1.

I really would like to see 2.1 in the next Debian release. I'd like to
ask Gregor (the maintainer) for an upload schedule, so that other
maintainers can rely on this to get their packages ready for the next
release as well. Are there still license issues which will be resolved
in upcoming releases? Should we skip 2.1 and hope that 2.2 gets
released upstream before the woody freeze?

Thanks, Matthias
