New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: The proposed patch moves some Misc/NEWS entities to more appropriate sections (IDLE, C-API, Tests, Documentation, Tools/Demos).

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: unittest is a library, not a part of the test suite, so its enhancements should remain in the library section. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________
Ned Deily added the comment: kbk has requested in the past that IDLE News items be put in Lib/idlelib/News.txt because it is installed with IDLE and there is a button to display it included in the "About IDLE" window. I know we've not been diligent about doing that, at least, I haven't. I suppose the items could continue to be put in Misc/NEWS and, prior to each release, copied into the News.txt. That step could be added to the release manager's checklist. But, if there are IDLE items in Misc/NEWS, whether duplicated or not, I agree it would be better to have them in their own section. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________

Richard Oudkerk added the comment: I did not realize there was a 'Extension Modules' section. I have been putting changes to C extensions in the 'Library' section instead. It looks like most people do the same as me. ---------- nosy: +sbt _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________

I prefer "Library" as well. I think the "Extension Modules" section should be yanked. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________

Looks like it was reintroduced by this merge changeset: http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/30fc620e240e ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________

Ezio Melotti added the comment: Serhiy, can you update and commit the patch? A new IDLE section would be especially useful for #17506. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Has anyone checked that the last patch is basically correct? Which is to say, does every entry removed get put back someplace? I tried to import the last patch, NEWS-3.4_3.patch 73/74 chumks were applied, 1 rejected, which can be hand edited. I am willing to do that if the sanity check has been done. (I personally would have done this in multiple patches, like moving only IDLE issues for one patch, that would have been easier to check.) ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: That was easy. The .patch has a space at the end of this line: - Issue #17028: Allowed Python arguments to be supplied to the Windows which the file, of course, does not. That removed and it applies cleanly. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________
Terry J. Reedy added the comment: There is also this double entry before and after the patch. This is current patch with space and duplicate removed. - Issue #15116: Remove references to appscript as it is no longer being supported. - Issue #15116: Remove references to appscript as it is no longer being supported. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29676/NEWS-3.4_4.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Thank you, Terry. Here is a new version of a patch for 3.4. New entries move, IDLE section resorted in a chronological order, duplicates removed, some minor things fixed. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29711/NEWS-3.4_5.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I commit patches since no one objected. Not all errors are corrected. There are duplicates (`cat Misc/NEWS | sort | uniq -cd | sort -n`). I'm not sure that the line "What's New in Python 3.3.1 release candidate 1?" in Misc/NEWS for 3.4 correct. The difference between 3.3 and 3.4 is more than expected (`hg diff -r 3.3 -r default Misc/NEWS`). ---------- stage: patch review -> commit review _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17221> _______________________________________
