first beta
release of Python 2.7.
Python 2.7 is scheduled (by Guido and Python-dev) to be the last major
version
in the 2.x series. Though more major releases have not been
absolutely ruled
out, it's likely that the 2.7 release will an extended period of
maintenance for
the 2.x series.
2.7 includes many features that were first released in Python 3.1.
The faster
io module, the new nested with statement syntax, improved float repr,
set
literals, dictionary views, and the memoryview object have been
backported from
3.1. Other features include an ordered dictionary implementation,
unittests
improvements, a new sysconfig module, and support for ttk Tile in
Tkinter. For
a more extensive list of changes in 2.7, see

distribution.

While this is a development release and is thus not suitable for
production use,
we encourage Python application and library developers to test the
release with
their code and report any bugs they encounter.
The 2.7 documentation can be found at:
http://docs.python.org/2.7
Please consider trying Python 2.7 with your code and reporting any
bugs you may
notice to:
http://bugs.python.org
Enjoy!
