3.2 -> 3.3 merge pending?
by Senthil Kumaran 10 Jun '13

Is there a merge pending from 3.2 to 3.3? http://hg.python.org/cpython/graph/83973?revcount=240 shows that last 3.2 change occurred 10 days ago and the branch has not been merged into 3.3 yet. http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/b9b521efeba3?revcount=240 Is it pending intentionally or this should be merged and then we go forward with our business as usual. -- Senthil

what's going on with Misc/NEWS?
by Brett Cannon 26 May '13

26 May '13

I was trying to do a simple merge of a doc change between 3.3 and default and the usual Misc/NEWS conflict came up. But when I looked at the diff it was massive! Turns out that Misc/NEWS in default goes from 3.3.1rc1 to 3.4.0a1 (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/24ffb0148729/Misc/NEWS) while Misc/NEWS in 3.3 goes properly through all versions between 3.3.1rc1 to 3.3.3rc1 (http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/3c4a5dc29417/Misc/NEWS). I have to get to work so I don't have time to fix this, but if someone does have the time to unwind this mix-up that has accumulated that would be great. And maybe it's finally time to bite the bullet and come up with some way to automatically generate Misc/NEWS from commit messages.

Introduction
by Ethan Furman 14 May '13

14 May '13

Greetings! I was recently added as a core-dev (yes, saying it still makes me smile ;). Python is an awesome language and I am happy to be a part of it. Minor history: I authored PEP 409 (raise ... from None), and authored most of the reference implementation for Enums (PEP 435). I've been programming for a couple decades in languages ranging from x86 assembly to AS/400 CL (yeah, not really a language :( ) to Visual Foxpro, and I'm acquanted with several others. Once I started using Python, however, my desire to spend any valuable free programming time on other languages just died. Although I still need to get better at C (for Python!). This is the first time I've really had the chance to work with a team, and I'm happy to say it has been productive, educational, and enlightening. -- ~Ethan~

Commit rights to Ethan Furman
by Eli Bendersky 11 May '13

11 May '13

Hello, I'd like to propose to grant Ethan Furman commit rights. He's authored PEP 309, has been very helpful in the Enum saga (and is the de-facto author of the current reference implementation), and has also been active on the tracker for a couple of years (username stoneleaf). I think he has already signed the contributor agreement, and explicitly expressed interest to contribute directly to PEP 435. Any objections? Eli
