Hi,
I will move python stuff from [testing] soon so we will need a news item... Here is a draft:

Major python update
A major python update is hitting the repos on a mirror near you. This involves update the python package from the 2.6 series to the
updating, or "an update"
2.7 series. However, with python-2.7 being scheduled to be the last major release in the python-2.x series, python 2.7 is now packaged as "python2", while the "python" package will contain the python 3.x series. This means that /usr/bin/python will point at python 3.x and
"will contain", "will point" ? when you post this, this will already be the case, no?
This has to do with the fact that nobody will be getting the update immediately: "A major python update is hitting the repos on a mirror near you." But of course, the tenses don't really matter - either is or will be right :p
