Connectivity/network problems?
by Antoine Pitrou Feb. 2, 2011

Feb. 2, 2011

Hello, It seems code.python.org (perhaps other hosts) sometimes has slight network problems. Users have been reporting problems coding the hg mirrors recently, see the latest messages on http://mercurial.selenic.com/bts/issue2595 (the machine itself looks fine, lots of free RAM and disk, idle CPUs; also the Apache logs don't seem to show any mod_wsgi crashes or issues) Even a normal static HTTP request can fail on the TCP layer (this is sporadic): $ curl -v http://code.python.org/robots.txt * About to connect() to code.python.org port 80 (#0) * Trying 82.94.164.162... Timeout * Trying 2001:888:2000:d::a2... Failed to connect to 2001:888:2000:d::a2: Le réseau n'est pas accessible. * Succès * couldn't connect to host * Closing connection #0 curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2001:888:2000:d::a2: Le réseau n'est pas accessible. (This is from a well-connected machine inside a datacenter. The IPv6 error message means "network not reachable" but what's important is that the IPv4 attempt fails with a timeout) Regards Antoine.

There are some Asian characters on the left sidebar on the frontpage of www.python.org. Was this by design? Carl T.

Request for commit access RE: download/windows page
by Brian Curtin Jan. 25, 2011

Jan. 25, 2011

Michael Foord reached out to Tim Golden and myself to work on and maintain the currently outdated http://www.python.org/download/windows/ page, and I'd like to help. I'm new to this particular list so I'm not sure what crossover there may be from python-dev and others, but I have CPython commit access and I'm one of the seemingly few Windows users in that circle. If this is a reasonable request, my key is attached here.

[Pydotorg] This seems unfriendly
by skip＠pobox.com Jan. 24, 2011

Jan. 24, 2011

I clicked a link which took me to us.pycon.org just now. Firefox didn't trust the SSL certificate. See attached. Surely the PSF (or whatever organization is ultimately in charge of the pycon.org domain) can afford to keep the certificate up-to-date... No sense scaring off people unnecessarily.
