This article explains the new features in Python 2.5. No release date for Python 2.5 has been set; it will probably be released in late 2005.

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 2.5. If you want to understand the complete implementation and design rationale, refer to the PEP for a particular new feature.
