PEP 6: "In general, only the N-1 release will be under active maintenance at any time."
Python 2.3 is scheduled for early July (PEP 283i and dev-pyBthon mailings).
Here's a tentative release schedule that follows the above guidelines:
alpha 1 -- December 31, 2002 alpha 2 -- February 19, 2003 beta 1 -- April 25, 2003 beta 2 -- late May rc 1 -- late June final -- early July
Unless I am mistaken, Zope 2.5.1, 2.6.0, 2.6.1 all *require* Python 2.1.3 and will not work with Python 2.2 and later.
Do we have a problem?
No, because * Python 2.1.3 runs very reliably. We do not need maintenance for it. * Zope 2.6 does run with Python 2.x (for "x >= 2") Dieter
