- Why is it called version 2.0?
- -----------------------------
- 
- While Pythoneers have grown fond of Python's exceedingly slow version
- incrementing, that same quality makes parts of the rest of the world
- think that Python is barely out of its first alpha test.  Especially
- enterprise customers are often fearful of anything that's version 1.x!
- The new version number also clearly marks departure of Python's core
- development team from CNRI to join BeOpen.com.
- 
- What happened to Python 1.6?  It was promoted and renamed Python 2.0.
- There were two alpha releases of Python 1.6 before we decided to
- increment the major version number.
- 
- Previously, the version number 2.0 was associated with a mythical and
- elusive incompatible future release.  That release (still ways off,
- and not as incompatible as people fear!) is now referred to as Python
- 3000.
