[Python-Dev] [RELEASE] Python 2.7.4 release candidate 1

[Andriy Kornatskyy]

Andrew,

Thank you for the prompt response back.

> will never be backported.

Who knows?

Is python 3.3 _decimal interface 100% compatible with one pure python implementation in 2.7?

I suppose code written using decimals in python 2.7 should work in python 3 with no changes, or there should be taken caution for something?

According to presentation slides, 30x performance boost is something definitely valuable for 2.7 crowd.

Thanks.

Andriy
