Not at all. The first thing that the PEP says about unsupporting code is: Unsupporting platforms If a certain platform that currently has special code in it is deemed to be without Python users, What a vendor supports is only a heuristic. Existence of users comes first. Note that the policy says that some Windows platforms *will* be supported. It doesn't say others will be unsupported (except implicitly: 3 years after the last version of Visual Studio capable of building releases for that platform goes out of extended support, the build infrastructure will be removed). I don't see a good reason to change the PEP. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
