I'm getting confused. Final release will just say Python 3.0, right? And 2.6 is in final release? So when ActiveState speaks of 2.6.0.0 they mean a final release? So, if the IDLE from ActiveState comes up and says 2.6 (indicating final release), shouldn't the copywrite message also say 2.6 instead of 2.6rc1 as shown here? Python 2.6rc1 (r26rc1:66438, Sep 13 2008, 09:20:38) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. **************************************************************** Personal firewall software may warn about the connection IDLE makes to its subprocess using this computer's internal loopback interface.
