[Python-Dev] Python Consortium Meeting News

[Asbahr, Jason]

Depending on the release schedule for 2.0, we may have to ship our 
product with Python 1.6, and Unicode is one of the key features we
need from this release.  I hope Marc is right that the current 
version of the Unicode support can be incorporated into the 1.6
official release.

Cheers,

Hmm, why shouldn't it be possible to use the current
version of Unicode support in 1.6 ? AFAIK, most of the patching
was done by Fredrik and myself and we were not related to
CNRI or BeOpen in any way at the time of the move to BeOpen.

Wouldn't it suffice for Fredrik and me to send in a wet-sign
for the Unicode patches since that date ?
