  • Python Special Interest Groups - Guidelines

The end date can be extended if activity warrants, but we need some reasonable wrap-up objecti...

Eventually they will be totally unified with types, but because of additional backwards incompatibilities, this will be done after 2.2 is released (maybe not before Python 3...
