Fwd: Voting for "wadofstuff-django-serializers" on python.org causes a 500
by Michael Foord May 10, 2011

May 10, 2011

Hey all, I get the same problem as the reporter (see below) when I try to use the py3k poll from the python.org homepage. All the best, Michael Foord -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Voting for "wadofstuff-django-serializers" on python.org causes a 500 Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 15:04:42 +0200 From: Roel Kramer <contact(a)roelkramer.nl> To: webmaster(a)python.org Hello, today I decided to vote for a few packages which should be converted to python 3. When i wanted to vote for the "wadofstuff-django-serializers" package, I got a 500 error. I'm using firefox 4, but I guess the client side should not cause the problem. I hope you can solve the problem. regards, Roel Kramer

Spam on Jython wiki
by Skip Montanaro May 7, 2011

May 7, 2011

The Jython wiki continues to get spammed, whereas the Python wiki seems not to, certainly not anything like happens to the Jython wiki. Is there some setup difference between the two that we've not accounted for? I recall that Martin added a feature to the Roundup instance a couple years ago which prevented new users from posting for a short amount of time (just a couple minutes as I recall). Could we easily apply a similar check to our MoinMoin instances? Skip

I found a copy in the Wayback Machine: http://replay.web.archive.org/20090228150936/http://www.python.org/communit… It dates from 1998 and was originally meant for posts to the comp.lang.python and comp.lang.python.announce newsgroups. It probably needs a bit of work to be brought up-to-date for the current announce list, but still has some useful bits. Skip

DNS additions for translation blogs
by Doug Hellmann May 7, 2011

May 7, 2011

We have several more translations for Python Insider coming online soon. To make them fit in with the rest of the blogs, we need CNAME entries in DNS pointing these names to "ghs.google.com": blog-cn.python.org blog-ro.python.org blog-de.python.org blog-tw.python.org There will be another batch soon, and possibly more later in the summer. I would be happy to make the changes myself, if someone would point me in the right direction. Doug
