I created the "needs backport to 3.7" label on GitHub

I noticed that there is a 3.7 branch now. So you can use this label if you want miss-islington to backport a PR to 3.7.

Adding "Co-authored-by" in commit message.
by Mariatta Wijaya Jan. 30, 2018

Jan. 30, 2018

I learned today that GitHub now supports multiple author info in a commit. https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors/ and https://github.com/blog/2496-commit-together-with-co-authors It can be done by adding: Co-authored-by: name <email address> as the footer of the commit message. I tested this in CPython: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/6ea75b174da0cf824e2acc5db6b53798f5… I suggest we start adding this where it makes sense, to give proper credit to PR authors. What I've seen is that we've only been writing "Original Patch by <someone else>". One scenario is when we convert someone else's mercurial patch to GitHub pull request. Or when someone started a patch, and another person finished it. The other scenario is with miss-islington's backport PRs. I will try to find time this week so that miss-islington or cherry_picker will add the "Co-authored-by:" automatically. Mariatta Wijaya

Python workflow quirks with mercurial and hg-git extension
by Jesus Cea Jan. 20, 2018

Jan. 20, 2018

I plan to come back to python development (about time!) but I truly hates git. I am experimenting with mercurial + hg-git extension and it is quite usable (after the initial painfully slow clone time), but I am having small quirks that I would like to iron out with a fellow more experienced or also interested in this approach. Anybody out there?.
