    RELEASED Python 2.4, beta 2

    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    Hash: SHA1

    On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
    happy to announce the second beta of Python 2.4.

    Python 2.4b2 is a beta release. We'd greatly appreciate it if you could
    download it, kick the tires and let us know of any problems you find,
    but it is probably not suitable for production usage.

    ~ http://www.python.org/2.4

    Notable changes in beta2 include another bug fix in the intersection
    of weakrefs and the garbage collector, time.strptime() correctly
    handling %U and %W arguments, and a fix for a problem of old source code
    being cached and shown in tracebacks. There's a number of other bugfixes
    as well, see either the highlights, the What's New in Python 2.4, or the
    detailed NEWS file -- all available from the Python 2.4 webpage.

    This is the second beta release of Python 2.4. Python 2.4 is now in the
    beta part of the release cycle - there should be few or no new features,
    merely bug fixes. From here, we plan to have a release candidate in
    a couple of weeks, and a final release at the start of December - but
    obviously this plan is subject to change, based on any problems that
    might crop up.

    Please log any problems you have with this release in the SourceForge
    bug tracker (noting that you're using 2.4b2):

    ~ http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5470

    Enjoy the new release,
    Anthony
