the 2.X.Y releases are bugfix releases, which mainly contain things discovered and fixed during development of 2.(X+1). releasing the last 2.X.Y maintenance release *after* releasing 2.(X+1) final is a good way to make sure that nothing got left out. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
