I'm not saying they should make more noise so that management can
better hear it (though that wouldn't hurt). I'm saying I would expect
them to make more noise so that *we* (the community that is supposed
to be shouldering the bulk of the evangelizing) can better hear it.

Interesting. A Python 2.7, even after they've already put out a 3.4.

<<<Lots of people stuck on python 2.7. I'm not sure what are the big hold
out modules. Numpy, scipy, gdal etc are all ported. All the traditional Web
and db stuff is there. I think it would be for porting existing apps
running on the third party python for I port.

I don't get the sense that IBM is aware of or wants to acknowledge
iSeriesPython. In any case, I think the main audience for an official
PASE Python 2.7 is developers who want to bring their Python 2 code
and/or knowledge from other platforms. It doesn't matter if all the
third-party Python 2 libraries I use are available for Python 3; if
*my* Python 2 code is designed a certain way, it's going to be tough
to port to Python 3.
