3.3 branch created in main repository
by Georg Brandl Oct. 2, 2012

Oct. 2, 2012

Hi all, from now on there is a 3.3 branch in the main repo. Until the last ordinary 3.2 bugfix release is done (which will be soon), the usual procedure for 3.x will be to check into 3.2, merge into 3.3, and then merge into default, except of course for a) fixes of 3.3-only features and b) trivial things like typos that you don't feel have to be in 3.2.4. default is now Python 3.4, and new features can be committed there. When the binaries are built and all the fiddling with the web servers is done, I'll announce the 3.3.0 release, and then go drink a large quantity of champagne [1]. cheers, Georg [1] If only I could afford it :)

FWIW, you can see a list of all such core developers using this URL: http://bugs.python.org/user?iscommitter=1&contrib_form=0&@action=search&@so… There are currently 35 without a contributor form (though I realize that many of them may not currently be active). --Chris

Sept. 29, 2012

PEP authors and implementors: could you please check the PEP list for any Accepted PEPs that should be flipped to Final (e.g. I noticed PEP 397 isn't Final, despite being included in 3.3) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

Committer metadata not updating?
by Nick Coghlan Sept. 9, 2012

Sept. 9, 2012

I just noticed that Eric Snow wasn't showing up as a committer on the tracker, even though I've seen him push the PEP 421 updates to the 3.3 What's New docs. He's also missing from http://www.python.org/dev/committers and http://docs.python.org/devguide/developers.html Could this be another glitch from the migration of the hg server to OSU/OSL? Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

3.3 rc2 released
by Georg Brandl Sept. 9, 2012

Sept. 9, 2012

Hi, quite a few critical changes went into rc2; thanks to everyone for helping fix these issues. If possible in any way, I'd like to cut down the number of changes between the last rc and the final to zero. That means that any nontrivial changes in rc2 will lead to a third rc. Georg

PEP repo access for Daniel Holth
by Nick Coghlan Sept. 8, 2012

Sept. 8, 2012

Hi, Daniel Holth's currently working on PEP 425 and 426 (the drafts for a cross-platform binary distribution format and for package metadata 1.3). I'd like to get myself out of the publication loop by getting him direct access to push to the PEP repo, and trust him to stick to just updating those two PEPs (at least for now - that may change once the packaging module makes it back into the default branch for 3.4). Guido originally gave me commit access just to work on updating PEP 343, so I'd like to do something similar here. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
