Python 2.7 is out
bmarkus:
Python 2.7 is just recently released as the main 2.x version. It shows that there is demand for 2.x and can't be omitted and replaced with 3.x
I have no problem with 2.6 as it is in the repo, but I think this would be good to migrate to 2.7 Last time such and action to 2.6 was smooth without any serious hassles.
Jason:
if you build 2.7 I'm ready to test and rebuild my extensions as last time.
For more info on 2.7 see
http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.7.html
Jason W:
I will go for a build this week.

Fine :)
Jason W:
Apps that depend on just python itself can remain with a dependency on python2.6. But if we wish to update pygtk, pygobject, and pycairo against python2.7, then extensions that depend on them would have to be rebuilt. Here is a list of pygtk dependent apps, as well as apps that depend on them. I only recursed about 2 levels, so there may be more:

Though several are -locale extensions, there are 73 extensions, 50 of them are from Arslan and the rest are mostly from bmarkus, robc, Juanito, and JLS. Since I won't be the one doing the rebuilding to upgrade pygtk dependent apps to the just released python, I want to hear from the others who will be affected if it is felt needed to upgrade pygtk related stuff at this time.
bmarkus:
Impressive list :)
I'm not sure that all applications depending on pygtk must be rebuilt as they are not depending on Python itself. My suggestion is to provide Python and a new pygtk for private review for extension makers and test.
