PEP440 "Local versions" idea in rpm/deb?
by Marcus Smith 05 May '14

05 May '14

PEP440 has the "local version" idea to distinguish locally patched projects from upstream versions. http://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#local-version-identifiers e.g. Django-1.6.4-1 for a locally patched Django-1.6.4 to place on a local index. Although it doesn't relate directly to this list, I know Nick (the PEP440 author) works with Redhat, so for understanding, what's the parallel in rpm (or deb)? is there a documented concept for this, because I can't seem to find anything other than post releases.

ensurepip in Python 2.7
by Nick Coghlan 03 May '14

03 May '14

Hey all, The next 2.7 release is coming up in a few weeks, and work is still needed on getting the SSL infrastructure updated. That release will likely also be the first one with Steve Dower at the helm for the creation of the Windows installers. Accordingly, I think it makes sense to leave proposing backporting ensurepip until 2.7.8 in November at the earliest. (Fortunately, there's no pyvenv in 2.7, so unbundling for the Linux distros is much simpler) Cheers, Nick.

This url is redirecting to itself, causing bandersnatch to fail, and thus its never updating its serial, so its pulling gradually larger and larger datasets. https://pypi.python.org/simple/Mopidy-TuneIn Reusing existing connection to pypi.python.org:443.

New Bootstrap Script Location
by Donald Stufft 02 May '14

02 May '14

So recently setuptools has been having problems with bitbucket rate limiting it's hosted ez_setup.py. In order to provide some consistency and to prevent rate limiting and the such we've setup a new location for setuptools and pip bootstrap scripts. They will be served by Fastly so they should also be quite fast to download :) The new locations are at: https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ If you're using the old locations anywhere I suggest updating to the new locations! ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
