Request for Comments on PEP 615
by Paul Ganssle April 18, 2020

April 18, 2020

Hi Pandas devs, If you are not already aware, I proposed PEP 615 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0615/>, which adds IANA time zone support to the standard library, almost two months ago. I know that pandas makes very heavy use of time zones, so I probably should have explicitly requested comments earlier in this process, but I suppose it's better late than never. The discussion is mostly centralized to the Python discourse <https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-615-support-for-the-iana-time-zone-databas…>. You are welcome to comment on any aspect of the PEP, though one of the few remaining "open questions" is the question of equality and hash semantics <https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-615-support-for-the-iana-time-zone-databas…>, which I figured may be relevant for this crowd, since I know you have to do some funky footwork to in some ways normalize time zones and adapt the time zone information to your own time model. Thanks! Paul

Domain and hosting
by Marc Garcia April 8, 2020

April 8, 2020

We've got a bit of a mess at the moment with the pandas domain and hosting. I'll try to leave things in a more reasonable way, but there are some decisions pending. My understanding from a thread in this list was that everybody was happy with using pandas.io, and we set up the domain for the new hosting, and also dev.pandas.io for the development version of the website (and the blog and anything published in our GitHub organization pages). >From the discussion in https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/28528 seems like the preference is to keep the old pandas.pydata.org instead. Given that, I think we can get rid of the dev.pandas.io, and point pandas.pydata.org to the new server once it's ready. For the website, I think the agreement is to update it with the latest version from master. So, no dev.pandas.io. For the development (master) documentation, I think it can live in pandas.pydata.org/docs/dev/. The blog, I think the best is to have the posts as pages on the website, in a directory blog/, so we don't need to maintain separaterly, and it has the look and feel of the website. For the new hosting, I'll move everything (all old documentation versions) from the current server to the new one, and then set up that the website and the development docs are automatically updated. Tom, can you give me access to the current web server so I can fetch the data please? Once everything is working in the new server, we'll be able to see it in pandas.io, and when we're happy we can change the domain pandas.pydata.org to point to it, and disable pandas.io. Please let me know if there are objections to any of the above, otherwise I'll move forward. Cheers!
