- python-3.x will not be in Fedora-11 unless it becomes obvious in the
next few weeks that we absolutely must be running it for the next release.
- we need more experience with python-2.6+ & python-3 compatibility
before we decide whether parallel versions of python are necessary.

Well again. Some people (like Toshio) seem to have a grasp on the matter. All this banter hasn't produced anything more of use. How about forming a temp SIG to take care of this trusting they do the right thing?
As opposed to the Python SIG that already exists?
No. Seems like the ideal body to come to a decision and let the rest of us know.
Well, most of the active members of the Python SIG have chimed in on this, and we're all channeling Frankie.
Now, I do believe this is an important subject and we do need to gauge the impact Python 3000 has on Fedora, but I believe that we are grossly unequipped to do so at this time. I'd like to revisit this topic in about a year (perhaps sooner, depending on circumstances), but for now everyone just relax.
I would have thought we'd want to wait for a number of point releases before putting it in anyway. Invariably there will be issues with a 0 release and you'd want to wait a couple of months for things to bed down. With 2.6 being a release to allow easier migration to 3 I would have thought its the perfect candidate for F-11 and by the time its out there will be a much better picture of how we'd stand for v3.
