Long story short: Python2.5 just got released. And here a list of things I’m really looking forward playing with:
- An explicit distinction between absolute and relative imports (see the PEP328 what’s new part for details)
- The new “with” statement which looks to me very much like what Ruby’s doing with blocks so it basically offers code an explicit context (PEP343 section).
- And I think it’s really great, that ElementTree and the new hashlib are now finally in the stdlib :-)
This is just my list based on the “What’s new” section since I had no time playing around with 2.5 yet :-( Hopefully this will change this weekend :-)
