Thanks for the heads-up, Craig! The REST API might be nice to have and the provider support may be rather useful in increasing OS configuration coverage or guaranteed slave stability if the PSF was willing to pay for some machine time.

I initiated discussion about moving python.org to using Buildbot 9 and Python 3: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-buildbots/2017-September/000133.htm...

Folks involved with core-workflow may want to monitor that thread, because I believe it has implications on core developer workflow for Python. Luckily, I think the implications are good. :)

Some of the implications I can think of include:

- buildbot 9 runs on Python 3, whereas the current buildbot 8 does not (and never will) - buildbot 9 exposes a REST API with queryable endpoints - buildbot 9 has better integration with GitHub pull requests, as can be seen here: http://nine.buildbot.net/#/console - buildbot 9 has better support for Docker, and providers who work with containers such as Hyper.sh

Zachary Ware upgraded python.org's buildbot from 0.8 to 0.9:

buildbot 0.9 is the first release of buildbot that can run on Python 3. The python.org buildbot master is running on Python 3.4:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/about

That master is connected to multiple workers/slaves, most of which are 0.8 running on Python 2:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/#/workers

This is a highly visible deployment of Twisted running Python 3, and aligns with python.org's direction to move the world to Python 3. :)
