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?

Three wishes for Mercurial-Roundup integration
by Éric Araujo 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

Hi, 1) When a commit message references more than one bug (with text matching #\d+), only the first gets a message for the changeset. I would like all referenced bugs to get a message. 2) When a bug number (#\d+) is not in the first line of the commit message, no message is sent. Is there a reason for this or is it a bug? (Note: I’m not sure about this one, I may misremember.) 3) To let us track the backport of changesets from cpython/packaging to distutils2, I would like the script to look at changesets in the distutils2 repo and send messages to Roundup when a bug number is detected. Thanks in advance

Commit rights for Meador Inge
by Mark Dickinson 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hi all, Meador Inge has been contributing to Python for a while now; he's put in a lot of work in particular on the struct and ctypes modules amongst others (see username 'meadori' in the tracker for more), and all the work that I've seen has been consistently high quality and careful. I think he's long overdue for commit rights, and would be a really valuable member of the Python team. I'm afraid I can't offer to mentor him (I'm not finding anything like as much time as I'd like to spend on Python right now); but I doubt he needs much mentoring at this point. Does anyone want to act as a nominal mentor? Mark

Request email from buildbot when forcing a build?
by Nick Coghlan 18 Sep '11

18 Sep '11

Q for the buildbot admins: would it be easy to add an "Email Address" field to the 'Force Build' form, so buildbot could email me when the job was complete? This doesn't come up very often, and would just be a nice to have, so don't worry about it if it isn't trivial to add. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

[RELEASED] Python 3.2.2
by Georg Brandl 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Python development team, I'm happy to announce the Python 3.2.2 maintenance release. Python 3.2.2 mainly fixes `a regression <http://bugs.python.org/12576>`_ in the ``urllib.request`` module that prevented opening many HTTP resources correctly with Python 3.2.1. 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 To download Python 3.2 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2/ Please consider trying Python 3.2 with your code and reporting any bugs you may notice to: http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy! - -- Georg Brandl, Release Manager georg at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.2's contributors) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk5j3d4ACgkQN9GcIYhpnLA2BACeLZ8nSdVOoxlJw4DnbM42neeA fwAAoKTHetXsVxrEfvCWSorUhoJ083kZ =5Wm1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I've now pulled all 3.2 changes that I think are important and safe into the release clone and am working on making the tag. Georg
