Re: Forthcoming 2.7 beta 3

Goodness, it's simply raining beta releases these days. It's certainly 
seems that to have a recent beta out there is creating interest and 
expectation.

I have some fixes for "%f" style formatting I think it would be safe to 
push. (It looks slightly lop-sided as I'm still cooking integer 
formatting that will allow a consistent approach.) So I will push it if 
I have no problems integrating it.

As long as there'll be another beta along in a few months there's no 
need to rush in work that would be better not committed yet.

bytearry.__len__: sorry, I wrote that stuff before I properly understood 
calls to types sub-classed in Python. I predict more problems, and I've 
been meaning to revisit more generally.

On the stack overflow message, this seems an entirely reasonable extra 
clue to offer.
