It was released on October 1st, 2008. Please put it in the backports as soon as possible, as Andreas posted here, it's essential to have a recent Python version - perhaps the last one in the 2.x era - not only in the next release.
Python 2.6 has special features which helps people migrating to Python 3, that information was long known, Also read: http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html I think it will be a bad decision to switch from Python 2.5 to Python 3. If this is not planned, and 9.04 will have Python 2.6 and 9.10 will have Python 3, as default, we get out of date at least. So the best point to have Python 2.6 in was this release. It was absolutely clear that it get released in the first days of October, so the planning could've started with the RCs and Betas since 6 months that nobody has to tell users something about "frozen".. -- Python 2.6 for Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
