+1. Plenty of people know that a master knows when to break the rules... the flip side is that a master also knows when NOT to break the rules. I'll run a trunk build of Pike, and I might of Python, but I wouldn't run a pre-alpha version of Apache, nor of the Linux kernel, nor pretty much anything else on my system. That is, not in production. There are all sorts of things that I'll happily do in a VM, where the consequences of totally hosing the system are "Oh dear, now I have to restore from a snapshot". :) For what it's worth, I've been running 3.4 builds for a while - not in production, but only because my production box is actually a rather ancient and very stable machine and I have no reason yet to change anything. It's looking fairly good, but I'd say the change from 3.3 to 3.4 is a lot less exciting for me than the change from 3.2 to 3.3. (Though asyncio may invert that valuation, once I dig into it enough to find out how fun it is.) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
