My question is not answered at all, sorry Joao!
I did not ask a teacher for his opinion on Stackless, but the community
about the
validity of pep 404.
I don't want a python 2.7 that does not install correctly, because people
don't read instructions. And exactly that will happen if I submit a modified
python 2.7 to PyPI.
This is a topic on Stackless Python, and I am asking python-dev before I
do it.
But people know this has its limits.
cheers - chris

I'd say publishing a high profile installable code with a "python 2.8"
name would cause a lot of undesired confusion to start with.
I usually lecture on Python to present the language to college
students and I.T. workers - and explaining away the current versioning
scheme (use either 2.7 or 3.3) is hard already. Having to add an
explanation about a downloadable and installable Python 2.8 that would
be incompatible with extensions compiled in Pypi would be tough. and I
doubt it could even be done without making your project look bad on
the process.
Can't you just mark it as "visual studio 2010" version instead?

Howdy friends,
according to pep 404, there will never be an official Python 2.8.
The migration path is from 2.7 to 3.x.
I agree with this strategy in almost all consequences but this one:
Many customers are forced to stick with Python 2.X because of other
products, but they require a Python 2.X version which can be compiled
using Visual Studio 2010 or better.
This is considered an improvement and not a bug fix, where I disagree.
So I see many Python 2.7 repositories on BB/GH which are hacked to
support
VS 2010, but they are not converted with the same quality in mind
that fits our standards.
My question
-----------
I have created a very clean Python 2.7.6+ based CPython with the
Stackless
additions, that compiles with VS 2010, using the adapted project
structure
of Python 3.3.X, and I want to publish that on the Stackless
website as the
official "Stackless Python 2.8". If you consider Stackless as
official ;-) .
This compiler change is currently the only deviation from CPython 2.7,
but we may support a few easy back-ports on customer demand. We
don'd add
any random stuff, of course.
My question is if that is safe to do:
Can I rely on PEP 404 that the "Python 2.8" namespace never will clash
with CPython?
And if not, what do you suggest then?
It will be submitted by end of November, thanks for your quick
responses!
all the best -- Chris
