[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

sempre just announced version 2.7 alpha 3 of Python on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This version contains many features first released in Python 3.1. An ordered
dictionary type is included. New unittest features include test skipping and new
assert methods. A much faster io module was added. Automatic numbering of fields
in the str.format() method was added. Float repr improvements were backported
from 3.x. Tile support was added for Tkinter. A backport of the memoryview
object from 3.x was added. Set literals and dictionary views were added. A new
syntax for nested with statements was added.

Project description:

Python is an interpreted, interactive,
object-oriented programming language. It combines
remarkable power with very clear syntax, and isn't
difficult to learn. It has modules, classes,
exceptions, very high level data types, and
dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many
system calls and libraries, as well as to various
windowing systems (Tk, Mac, MFC, GTK+, Qt,
wxWindows). New built-in modules are easily
written in C or C++. Python is also usable as an
extension language for applications that need a
programmable interface.
