+1 here.

Well, not quite, but I can put in a couple of allnighters (I want to do a
review of all log-messages since 2.1-final, to see if I missed any checkin
messages, and I want to update the NEWS file with a list of bugs fixed) and
have it ready in a week or two. I don't think 2.1.1 should be released
*that* soon after 2.0.1 anyway.

I noticed this in the LICENCE file, by the way:

Python 2.1 is a derivative work of Python 1.6.1, as well as of Python 2.0.

and

8. By copying, installing or otherwise using Python 2.1, Licensee
agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this License
Agreement.
