ActivePython 2.0 Release

[Robert L Hicks]

I am for it. I have a printed 1.5.2 set. The only *problem* I foresee is
that Python is changing pretty rapidly now.

What would be cool...is a binder type format. You could print the documents
one time and then when changes are made only those changes would have to be
swapped out.
