Hi all (attn python maintainer),

Would it be possible to update to python 2.7? The current released
package (2.6.8-2) lacks several features available in 2.7.
Are you psychic? I just started today. Sorry, but I don't have an ETA.
Sounds great! Looking forward to it.

Out of curiosity, what typically holds back releasing a new version? Do you often end up having to deal with bugs and patches?

I've heard that gcc/gdb/binutils often require "a little bit" of work to push out the door, for example...
