I ask questions

Next version of py3k (3.0.1) will be released on Friday, 13th February 2009

Guess what I will do around that time

Installing Python3 took quite a while. What caused this ?

- Python would not build because of missing tkinter + a problem with dbm
- I had two freezes of Pardus 2008.2 Canis aureus with the new KDE 4.2.0 (not sure yet, what caused this - one was during the “make test” - I hope my HD is still ok)
- the “make test”

But it works now - the first Hello world in new syntax:

./python3.0
