    RELEASED Python 2.6rc1

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

    On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I
    am happy to announce the first release candidate for Python 2.6.

    This is a release candidate, so while it is not suitable for
    production environments, we strongly encourage you to download the
    release and test it on your software. We expect only critical bugs to
    be fixed between now and the final 2.6 release, still scheduled for
    October 1st, 2008. There is one more release candidate planned for
    September 17th.

    You might notice that unlike earlier releases, we are /not/ releasing
    Python 3.0rc1 at this time. It was decided that 3.0 still needs time
    to resolve open issues and that we would not hold up the 2.6 release
    for this. We feel that Python 2.6 is nearly ready for its final
    release.

    If you find things broken or incorrect, please submit bug reports at

    List of issues - Python tracker
    http://bugs.python.org


    For more information and downloadable distributions, see the Python
    2.6 website:

    (Note that the Windows installers will be uploaded shortly.)

    See PEP 361 for release schedule details:

    PEP 361 – Python 2.6 and 3.0 Release Schedule | peps.python.org
    http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0361/
    This document describes the development and release schedule for Python 2.6 and 3.0. The schedule primarily concerns itself with PEP-sized items. Small features may be added up to and including the first beta release. Bugs may be fixed until the fina...


    Enjoy,

      About this Vista note on that page:

      <quote>
      Vista Note
      Administrators installing Python for all users on Windows Vista
      either
      need to be logged in as Administrator, or use the runas command, as
      in:

      runas /user:Administra tor "msiexec /i <path>\<file>.m si"
      </quote>

      I couldn't get Idle to run until Python was installed this way, so it
      appears to be required even for a single user.

      And I know that Windows operation is not Python's responsibility,
      but couldn't you point out casually that, by default, the
      Administrator
      account is disabled in Vista. And the above won't work until you find
      out how to enable the Administrator (an easy Google search).
