Access to the Python results is currently down, but has anyone
actually accessed the Coverity scan results any time recently? Or who
even has access anymore?

Okay, this is it: please no more commits to the py3k branch for now.
Also, for the remainder of the time until final, please make sure there
is an issue for each change you want to make containing the patch
(which was already the case for almost all changes after rc1 anyway),
and assign the issue to me for sign-off after review.
Changes to the "What's new" are exempt, but I would love some volunteers
to read through the document and note any issues or typos.
cheers,
Georg

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm quite happy to announce
the second release candidate of Python 3.2.
Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the
Python 3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line
will only receive bugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only.
Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there
are no changes in Python's syntax and built-in types in Python 3.2.
Development efforts concentrated on the standard library and support for
porting code to Python 3. Highlights are:
* numerous improvements to the unittest module
* PEP 3147, support for .pyc repository directories
* PEP 3149, support for version tagged dynamic libraries
* PEP 3148, a new futures library for concurrent programming
* PEP 384, a stable ABI for extension modules
* PEP 391, dictionary-based logging configuration
* an overhauled GIL implementation that reduces contention
* an extended email package that handles bytes messages
* a much improved ssl module with support for SSL contexts and certificate
hostname matching
* a sysconfig module to access configuration information
* additions to the shutil module, among them archive file support
* many enhancements to configparser, among them mapping protocol support
* improvements to pdb, the Python debugger
* countless fixes regarding bytes/string issues; among them full support
for a bytes environment (filenames, environment variables)
* many consistency and behavior fixes for numeric operations
For a more extensive list of changes in 3.2, see
http://docs.python.org/3.2/whatsnew/3.2.html

Please consider trying Python 3.2 with your code and reporting any bugs
you may notice to:
http://bugs.python.org/
Enjoy!

It's for easy transition I guess -- you take the same module name and
just tack on .abi3.so instead of .so.

Hi guys,
this is just a heads-up that I'll be freezing py3k for the rc2 release
in a bit less than 48 hours -- Sunday morning in CET.
Please get all changes that you already know are necessary reviewed and
committed *before* that: the goal is zero commits between rc2 and final
(although I know it's unlikely to be reached) -- or rather the necessity
of an rc3 depends on how stable rc2 proves to be.
cheers,
Georg
The rc is out. Let's hope for some decent developer testing and bug reports
before it's too late...
To ensure stability in the py3k branch, I want to enforce strict discipline
for commits from now to the release. Any change needs to be reviewed by at
least one other core developer (and I mean real reviews, with the committer
name mentioned in the commit message). Absolutely no new features or API
changes. If in doubt, please consult with this list, or ask me directly.
cheers,
Georg

As I am writing the part of the devguide covering getting commit privs, I
figured it was a good thing to send out an email for our new committers to
remind them to send in a contributor form:
http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/ ASAP.
