Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Misc
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv23364/python/Misc

Modified Files:
	NEWS 
Log Message:
Added -Qnew news about the test_coercion.py failure.  That's the only test
that still fails under -Qnew, and is so tied to details of current
behavior that fixing it before new division becomes the default is 
impractical.

    your own code.  As the PEP says, -Qnew is intended for use only in
    educational environments with control over the libraries in use.
+   Note that test_coercion.py in the standard Python test suite fails
+   under -Qnew; this is expected, and won't be repaired until true
+   division becomes the default (in the meantime, test_coercion is
+   testing the current rules).
