[Python-Dev] 3.7.0b2 code cutoff soon!

[Ned Deily]

Just a reminder that 3.7.0b2 is almost upon us. Please get your feature
fixes, bug fixes, and documentation updates in before 2018-02-26 ~23:59
Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12:00). That's a little over 1.5 days from now.
Also, as previously noted, for those of you who asked for and received
extensions for a few remaining 3.7.0 features, those extensions expire
as of the b2 cutoff so please plan accordingly.

Looking ahead, we need to start locking down 3.7.0 so that our
downstream users, that is, third-party package developers, Python
distributors, and end users, can test their code with confidence that
the actual release of 3.7.0 will hold no unpleasant surprises. So please
assume that the 3.7.0 ABI will be frozen as of beta 3, in 4 weeks on
2018-03-26, and that only doc updates and the kinds of bug fixes
appropriate for a maintenance release should be going into the 3.7
branch after 3.7.0b3 without further discussion.

Thanks again for all of your hard work towards making 3.7.0 yet another
great release!
