Oh wow I stand corrected. I saw Py..on 2.2 in and my head for some reason I thought it was a mad science experiment to gain a performance edge by resurrecting an old version without the bloat, because Python 2.2 is something I remember very well. If Pyston is really fully committed to going their own way with a fork, I'd recommend they just go for the gold and bump up the version to 4.x, since that sends a pretty clear message to the Python project about how valuable they feel the enhancements they've made are, while avoiding confusion. Python performance is truly something we all want to see improve so maybe things will change.
