PEP-101 says it would be nice to have a dependency graph that showed
what could and could not be done in parallel when cutting a release.
Should throw one together using OmniGraffle or Graphviz.

[birkenfeld]

I'll probably get around to do this during the 3.2 period.

[brettcannon]

Is this still worth doing, Georg? Or should we make Larry do it? =)

[larryhastings]

Note: I don't have Macs, so I can't run OmniGiraffe. And a quick gander at the Graphviz website suggests its output lacks the sublime elegance Python documentation has become known for.

[birkenfeld]

I think you can make nice graphs with graphviz if you put effort into it :)

[brettcannon]

Would this still be useful to do? Thanks to my latest import talk I have experience with graphviz but I don't want to waste my time if people don't need it.

[birkenfeld]

While it's nice to look at a graphical representation, clearly there is no deep interest (and PEP-101 has so many little steps that you couldn't possibly fit them all into a graph, so you have to consult the text anyway). I see no reason to keep this open.
