date is expected to be around September 2004.
This article explains the new features in Python 2.4 alpha1, to be released in early July 2004 The final version of Python 2.4
is expected to be around September 2004.
While Python 2.3 was primarily a library development release, Python
2.4 may extend the core language and interpreter in
as-yet-undetermined ways.
Python 2.4 is a middle-sized release. It doesn't introduce as many
changes as the radical Python 2.2, but introduces more features than
the conservative 2.3 release did. The most significant new language
feature (as of this writing) is the addition of generator expressions;
most of the changes are to the standard library.
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 2.4,
such as the \citetitle[../lib/lib.html]{Python Library Reference} and
the \citetitle[../ref/ref.html]{Python Reference Manual}.
If you want to understand the complete implementation and design
rationale, refer to the PEP for a particular new feature.
