Almost. "We'll continue to offer the 50% discount on instance prices until December 1st, at which time Python 2.7 should be available."

The new pricing goes into effect November 1st. For the goodwill that would result, it would have been much nicer of them to keep the pricing as-is until 2.7 was rolled out rather than charging a rate that is too high (albeit discounted by 50%) because of a platform limitation, then correcting it 30 days later.

Ah, I didn't notice that, thank you. You are correct, that would have been much better.

Fortunately, it's pretty easy to convert to Python 2.7, so hopefully people will do it quickly.
