Hello, We're getting a fair amount of spam on the Python Wiki. Can someone with administrative privileges check that the textcha feature is enabled and has been given a set of effective questions? Thanks, Paul

Poll about -h,--help options
by anatoly techtonik April 14, 2013

April 14, 2013

Hi, Is it interesting to know if people expect -h to work as a --help equivalent by default? As it directly affects best practices of using Python in command line, can we run such poll on python.org? I thought that this stuff is obvious, but it appears that it is not, so I'd like to see this usability study - it will be interesting for the Python community to know itself better. -- anatoly t.

Retiring catalog-sig
by Richard Jones April 1, 2013

April 1, 2013

Hi all, apologies for the x-post, Could someone please help me retire the catalog-sig? I'm about to notify all current members, telling them to subscribe to the distutils-sig if they wish to. I believe the references to the catalog-sig are on: http://www.python.org/community/sigs/ http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/ and it needs to be moved to: http://www.python.org/community/sigs/retired/ I will update all PEPs that have Discussions-To set to the catalog-sig. Does deleting the mailing list remove the archives? I wouldn't want that to happen. Richard

FYI: We've enabled the load balancer for wiki.python.org now. This has the nice side-effect that the wikis can now all be accessed via the HTTPS link. At the moment this is still in a test phase. Once we're confident that things work fine, we'll switch on the redirect from the HTTP to the HTTPS URL to make logins more secure. If you find problems, please let me know.

EMFS Radiation penetrating living space
by Rosa March 22, 2013

March 22, 2013

Human frendly products Why? Because you probably want what most people want: To challenge aging and health problems Protect yourself from Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) and Smart Meters Enjoy feeling well again The Facts: You have less energy Every day you are exposed to number of EMFs (“BAD ENERGY”) in addition to Smart Meters Your body is weaker than it should be (although you think that it is normal for your age) You have some health problems (like all of us) Another scary fact - geomagnetic fields are collapsing and young people are having the same health problems as our older generation. Why are we so unhealthy? We have low energy A low immune system And we are constantly exposed to EMFs (“BAD ENERGY”) Electro Magnetic Fields are one of the most hidden issues critically affecting our health; both man-made and natural EMFs. Our extremely weak geomagnetic shield has a very significant impact on our health by not being able to protect us effectively from cosmic radiation. This radiation penetrates our living space including our homes! Our body’s defense system fights the EMFs thinking that they are intruders, like a virus or bacteria. This fight drains energy from us. So the combination of a weak geomagnetic shield and low energy leaves our body weak and unable to absorb vitamins, minerals and nutrition. Our body is designed to thrive in a much stronger geomagnetic field. 4000 years ago geomagnetic field was 10x stronger as in the year 2000. Today it is 20x weaker than the year 2000. So in total it is 200x weaker than 4000 years ago (2000 BC). These factors affect everyone; no one is immune to this global concern. Look around you, health problems are everywhere. Advanced technology, science and progress in medicine are not helping our weak nation. Statistics shows health problems increasing exponentially every year. Our weaker body makes us more vulnerable to viral and bacterial attacks. Recovery is longer than we expect and not as effective. Do you think that we are aging faster than we should? Do you feel like you are constantly overworked and tired? Do your children have behavior problems? Are your children sick often? This list of health problems have been recently introduced to society in the last 100 years: Symptoms like: problems with Conception, Asthma, Eczema, Sinus Infections, Ear Infections, Sleeping Disorders, Stress, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Adrenaline Syndrome, Acne, Bronchitis, Snoring, Nervousness, Headaches, Migraines, Allergies, Psoriasis, Cystic Fibrosis, Arthritis, Cough, Depression, Emphysema, Low Immune System and many more… The truth is you do not need to suffer so much. Many problems can be improved. Allow us to explain what can be done. Visit www.microalpha.com for more information, feel free to send us an email with your questions. Most likely you can recover from your health problems like a number of people using our products. Our products counteract collapsing geomagnetic field having a negative impact on the human body. Our products are designed to protect against even the strongest EMFs. ”BAD” energy (from EMFs) is neutralized by our products supporting body’s defense system. You can regenerate efficiently energy. Your body will be stronger. Now you can challenge your health problems and get the most out of life. Do not forget about your kids (ADD, ADHD, Autism, luck of immunity, problems with concentration, learning difficulties, etc.)!

Migrating python.org to OSL
by Noah Kantrowitz March 19, 2013

March 19, 2013

As part of the PyCon sprints I would like to move python.org off dinsdale to a VM at OSL. Due to the build system being tied to SVN, I'll also migrate that service on the same VM. Do any SVN repos other than www/ need to remain available? This would require at least some period of not changing the website, probably a few hours, but I don't think that would be a problem. This is mostly a legacy move so I'm not going to clean it up much, we'll have a new site soon enough. --Noah
