Correction for CheeseShopTutorial link
by Dennis Yu July 30, 2016

July 30, 2016

At the top of the page (https://wiki.python.org/moin/CheeseShopTutorial) it has: *A short introduction on how to install packages from the Python Package Index (PyPI) <http://pypi.python.org/pypi>, and how to make, distribute and upload your own.* *This guide is no longer being maintained - more up to date and complete information is in the Python Packaging User Guide <https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>.* The link to Python Packaging User Guide is https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ but it 404's, does not exist. The correct link address took a little bit of digging. It is: https://packaging.python.org/ Also I suggest putting "*This guide is no longer being maintained" *as the first line on the page.

a request to edit a page
by Dan Koretsky July 21, 2016

July 21, 2016

I'm sorry, the previous email was sent from my work email by mistake. This is the email I am a registered user with - DanKoretsky. This page: https://wiki.python.org/moin/DebuggingWithGdb has extremely useful information for debugging halted python processes. I want to add a section for doing this on Centos since on it the commands mentioned there weren't enough. I just want to add a section of the following form: "For Centos" In Centos (7 for example) the package python-debuginfo is not directly accessible. You need to run the following commands to install it (probably under sudo): 1. yum install yum-utils 2. debuginfo-install glibc 3. yum install python-debuginfo If this would be possible, it would help users wonderfully debug python processes on centos too - at my job these were kind-of-production systems, thus they were centos. Thanks, Danko

Request to get Editor priviliges
by Pieter Spronck July 18, 2016

July 18, 2016

Hi, I just released an extensive free Python course book in both English and Dutch, via http://www.spronck.net/pythonbook. My main aim was to release a Dutch book, as there is very little on Python in Dutch at the moment, but I started with the English version as I had already created an English Python course which I have been using for several years with great success, so writing the English version did not take a lot of time -- translation took a lot more time. I'd like to add links to the two books to the Wiki, specifically: * I'd like to add the English book to the (already very long) Introductory books page (https://wiki.python.org/moin/IntroductoryBooks) * I'd like to add a NEW page for Dutch language books (this would be https://wiki.python.org/moin/DutchPythonBooks) * I'd like to add a link to that new page from the general Python books page (https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonBooks) So my request is to get editor priviliges to accomplish that. Kind regards, Pieter Spronck Associate professor, Tilburg University ___________________ Pieter Spronck p.spronck(a)gmail.com http://www.spronck.net

Pyrex page outdated information
by Victor Escobar July 17, 2016

July 17, 2016

Hello, On the Pyrex wiki page (https://wiki.python.org/moin/Pyrex) for *other Python speedup solutions*, PyPy should be listed alongside the other two. Also, some notation should be added indicating that psyco is deprecated and no longer actively maintained.
