Hello all, This is a final warning that the next release of Biopython will not support Python 2.3. As far as we are aware, no-one has come forward with a need for continued support for Python 2.3, so we will soon begin removing the special case code needed to keep Biopython working on Python 2.3. This will give us a simpler code base, less platforms to test on, and we can also take advantage of various language features only available in Python 2.4+ (e.g. generator expressions and decorators). Any last minute requests to postpone this should be made to the main Biopython mailing list by Friday 8 May. Thank you, Peter _______________________________________________ Biopython-announce mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.open-bio.org/mailman/listinfo/biopython-announce
