great move. Most of hosts I use still are at 2.5 / 2.6 levels. This moratorium will indeed give time to catch up. Probably I missed it - but does the moratorium apply to bugs/security patches as well ?
- jnoller 17y agoNo - it does not apply to bugs or security issues
- dschobel 17y agoI think you'd be hard pressed to find a bug or security flaw in the language syntax or semantics. Remember, this doesn't mean that the implementations won't be improved underneath the covers, just the high-level language spec.
- wtallis 17y agoFundamental language bugs (ambiguity, etc.) can be fixed. Security bugs will almost certainly be the result of something in the standard library, which has not been frozen.
- unohoo 17y agocool - thanks. good to know.
- andreyf 17y agoThe releases will go on (probably faster), it's just the syntax that's frozen. This helps Python implementations like IronPython or jPython catch up, but it certainly won't help hosts.
