ipv6 connectivity issues
by Michael Foord July 2, 2011

July 2, 2011

Hey all, We've just had two reports on webmaster(a)python.org about ipv6 connectivity issues. Normally they are caused by client / route issues, however if I try via claranet I get failures too: http://noc.eu.clara.net/lg.php Router: US Command: ping ipv6 python.org Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 2001:888:2000:D::A2, timeout is 2 seconds: .....

I don't know the exact area affected, but entries like 'telia.net' or 'geant2.net' suggest it's not a local issue. Access via some Teredo server in the Netherlands seems ok. Maybe it's a good idea to drop AAAA DNS records for python.org temporarily, especially that easy_install and such are broken on affected networks with IPv6-enabled hosts (and automatic fallback to IPv4 does not always work, at least in my case). All the best, Michael Foord -- http://www.voidspace.org.uk/ May you do good and not evil May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others May you share freely, never taking more than you give. -- the sqlite blessing http://www.sqlite.org/different.html

Could someone please add a new DNS entry for "speed.python.org" pointing to 140.211.15.123 - I'm not sure if pydotorg-www is in control of the DNS entries or just Martin, so I'm emailing both! jesse

Duda con PyQt4 y QSqlQuery
by Jesus Zuñiga June 29, 2011

June 29, 2011

Hola compañeros, estoy desarrollando una aplicación en PyQt4 y tengo una duda con respecto a BD. Lo que sucede es que cuando quiero obtener el valor de un registro de la base de datos, le paso la posición de la celda en la fila pero cuando la celda contiene un int me regresa una tupla, mientras que si es una cadena me regresa la cadena Ejem prim = query.value(0).toString() seg = query.value(1).toInt() #prim me regresa "admin" el cual es el dato correcto #seg me regresa una tupla con 6 y True, el cual solo el valor 6 es correcto pero no se porque tambien me regresa True, para obtener el valor correcto tengo que hacer query.value(1).toInt()[0] Espero me puedan resolver la duda, gracias -- Saludos. Maldecir es el único lenguaje que realmente dominan todos los programadores.

Fwd: Internal server error
by Michael Foord June 27, 2011

June 27, 2011

Hello Postmaster, It seems that the mailman 500 error page asks users to contact the server administrator on "webmaster(a)python.org". See the report from Laura below (which subsequently fixed itself pretty quickly). Could the error 500 template for mailman pages be changed to point users to the postmaster alias which I suspect is a better address for reporting problems? All the best, Michael Foord -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Internal server error Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 11:09:32 +0200 From: Laura Creighton <lac(a)openend.se> To: webmaster(a)python.org CC: lac(a)openend.se I just got this message: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster(a)mail.python.org and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at mail.python.org Port 80 ............. All I did was to approve 2 messages from the conferences mailing list which were being held up due to the fact that the poster was not a subscriber to the conferences mailing list. It just happened, say 11:00 MET (Berlin, Stockholm, Paris). Thank you, Laura

Reviewing the Sponsors page
by Tiago Boldt Sousa June 17, 2011

June 17, 2011

Hi, I'm Tiago, from Portugal and I've just joined this list. I've noticed that you're trying to organize the sponsors page in order to highlight the more generous sponsors [1]. Well, I've recently been handling the content for an agile development conference here in Portugal and we've done something similar, I believe it could be easily ported to the python's www page. Have a look at it: http://2011.agilept.org/sponsors and let me know what were you thinking to do with it. 1 - http://twitter.com/#!/ThePSF/status/80881345080987648 -- Tiago Boldt Sousa
