Python 2.5 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday September 19, 2006 @05:27AM from the snakes-on-a-frame dept.

dominator writes "It's been nearly 20 months since the last major release of the Python programming language, and version 2.5 is probably the most significant new release of Python since 2.2. The latest release includes a variety of additions to the standard library, language extensions, and performance optimizations. This is a final release, and should be suitable for production use. Read the release announcement, the highlights, what's new, and download it."

I don't like the idea that some people make intrisicly "good" programers, and the rest are all somehow "bad"; as if some of us had bigger brains or something
Every skill is a function of talent and training. The cornerstone of elitism is to grossly overestimate the role of talent, but to dismiss it altogether is no less foolish.
