! This article explains the new features in Python 2.4.  The release
! date is expected to be around September 2004.
  
! While Python 2.3 was primarily a library development release, Python
! 2.4 may extend the core language and interpreter in
! as-yet-undetermined ways.
  
  This article doesn't attempt to provide a complete specification of
! the new features, but instead provides a convenient overview.  For
! full details, you should refer to the documentation for Python 2.4,
! such as the \citetitle[../lib/lib.html]{Python Library Reference} and
! the \citetitle[../ref/ref.html]{Python Reference Manual}.  
! If you want to understand the complete implementation and design
! rationale, refer to the PEP for a particular new feature.

! This article explains the new features in Python 2.4 alpha1, to be released in early July 2004  The final version of Python 2.4 
! is expected to be around September 2004.
  
! Python 2.4 is a middle-sized release.  It doesn't introduce as many
! changes as the radical Python 2.2, but introduces more features than
! the conservative 2.3 release did.  The most significant new language
! feature (as of this writing) is the addition of generator expressions;
! most of the changes are to the standard library.
  
  This article doesn't attempt to provide a complete specification of
! every single new feature, but instead provides a convenient overview.
! For full details, you should refer to the documentation for Python
! 2.4, such as the \citetitle[../lib/lib.html]{Python Library Reference}
! and the \citetitle[../ref/ref.html]{Python Reference Manual}.  If you
! want to understand the complete implementation and design rationale,
! refer to the PEP for a particular new feature or to the module
! documentation.
