I read the entire thread and it seems to me that the project is dead (or not very far from it). Jeffrey and I have been pulled on to other projects of higher importance to Google. Unfortunately, no-one from the Python open-source community has been interested in picking up the merger work, and since none of the original team is still full-time on the project, it's moving very slowly. Finishing up the merger into the py3k-jit branch is a high priority for me this quarter, but what happens then is an open question." When working on open source, especially something as complicated as this, you need at least one dedicated maintainer. Looks to me that they are trying to do the responsible thing and tie up any loose ends.
