On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
happy to announce the first alpha of Python 2.4.
Python 2.4a1 is an alpha 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 not suitable for production usage. http://www.python.org/2.4/
In this release we have a number of new modules, a number of existing
modules that have been reimplemented in C for speed, a large number of
improvements and additions to existing modules and an even larger list
of bugs squished. 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.
There will be at least one more alpha release in a couple of weeks to
pick up a few new features that didn't make it into the first alpha,
before we release 2.4 betas and then the final release.
Please log any problems you have with this release in the SourceForge
bug tracker (noting that you're using 2.4a1): http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5470
Enjoy the new release,
Anthony

Ok. Can you please run test__locale in verbose mode to find out what
the last locale is that it uses? Let's call it X.
Can you please then run interactively
locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_NUM ERIC, X)
print '%07.2f' % 42
It appears from the test results that this gives '0042,00' for
you; please confirm that it does.
It is bad that test__locale does not restore the locale, but perhaps
we take out that test entirely. However, the behaviour of % is not
supposed to change, so we need to investigate why it changes on your
machine.
Regards,
Martin

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
