O’Reilly Network: Python 2.0 and Beyond

“Python 2.0 was released this week. The announcement slipped
quietly into the comp.lang.python newsgroup. Without breaking
stride, Jeremy Hylton of the development team posted PEP 226, an
informational Python Enhancement Proposal, describing the release
schedule for 2.1. According to PEP 226, the team hopes to
receive all the proposals for changes in 2.1 by the middle of
December. That gives developers a two-month design and review
period for those proposals. The proposals will then be reviewed by
the design team in the following six weeks, and those they agree to
will be worked into Python in the following six-week beta testing
period.”
