|---|
Developers of the Python programming language are working concurrently on two upgrades to the core platform, both to arrive in 2008, representatives of Python said Wednesday.
The first due out, Python 2.6, will serve as a transitional release ahead of Python 3.0, which features basic changes but does have some incompatibilities with the 2.x line, said David Goodger, a director of the Python Software Foundation, which manages IP rights to the language and promotes it. Version 3.0 also is known by the codename Python 3000.
