Lista de Cambios:
* Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
get rewritten to some degree.
* This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
I’ll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn’t spend
too much time on writing your addition.)
* If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
maintainer, add ‘XXX’ to the beginning of the paragraph or
section.
* It’s OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
example: “XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
socket module.” The maintainer will research the change and
write the necessary text.
* You can comment out your additions if you like, but it’s not
necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
* Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
sufficient; the e-mail address isn’t necessary.
* It’s helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
% Patch 12345
XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the socket
module.

This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the SVN log
when researching a change.
This article explains the new features in Python 2.6. No release date for
Python 2.6 has been set; it will probably be released in mid 2008.
This article doesn’t attempt to provide a complete specification of the new
features, but instead provides a convenient overview. For full details, you
should refer to the documentation for Python 2.6. If you want to understand the
complete implementation and design rationale, refer to the PEP for a particular
new feature.
.. Compare with previous release in 2 – 3 sentences here.
add hyperlink when the documentation becomes available online.
.. ========================================================================
.. Large, PEP-level features and changes should be described here.
.. Should there be a new section here for 3k migration?
.. Or perhaps a more general section describing module changes/deprecation?
