PEP commit privilieges for Donald Stufft?
by Nick Coghlan 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Donald is the current main developer for PyPI and is doing a lot of work on PyPI related PEPs this days - it would reduce the administrative overhead if he could update the related PEPs directly. Any objections to my getting him to send his public SSH key to hgaccounts for inclusion? Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

[RELEASED] Python 3.4.0a1
by Larry Hastings 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm pleased to announce the first alpha release of Python 3.4. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Python 3.4 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, including hundreds of small improvements and bug fixes. Major new features and changes in the 3.4 release series so far include: * PEP 435, a standardized "enum" module * PEP 442, improved semantics for object finalization * PEP 443, adding single-dispatch generic functions to the standard library * PEP 445, a new C API for implementing custom memory allocators To download Python 3.4.0a1 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/ Please consider trying Python 3.4.0a1 with your code and reporting any issues you notice to: http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy! -- Larry Hastings, Release Manager larry at hastings.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.4's contributors)

Trunk is ready for 3.4.0a2 work

All the release engineering work for 3.4.0a1 has been merged. Cry havoc, and let slip the checkins of war! //arry/

Can I get the keys to the website please?
by Larry Hastings 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

PEP 101 tells me that in order to release Python 3.4.0a1 I must massage the website. I foolishly left this to the last minute. Can anybody give me access to the repo and shove me towards the README? Pretty please? I already have access to dinsdale and am in the "webmaster" group on there. By the way: unless something explodes last-minute, Python 3.4.0a1 will be based on d86aec3f61b0. Fingers crossed, //arry/

Tagging 3.4a1 with an unhappy AMD64 Win7 SP1 buildbot?
by Larry Hastings 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

I'm considering for Python 3.4.0a1. The buildbots are all happy, except for AMD64 Win7 SP1: http://buildbot.python.org/all/waterfall?category=3.x.stable The two failures are zipimport and signal. zipimport is sporadic, and looks like some sort of heisenissue. signal is much more consistently broken, and has been broken for a while. (Not that Windows support for signal has ever been that great. But presumably the regression test is supposed to light up green, even on Windows.) Can we, uh, live with that, for alpha 1? //arry/

Reminder: Python 3.4 alpha 1 release is Saturday August 3
by Larry Hastings 03 Aug '13

03 Aug '13

It's about nine days from now. I expect to tag the release late next week. So if you're doing any major brain surgery, please finish it up in the next week or so. Your mildly anxious release manager, //arry/ p.s. Anybody have contact information for Jim Hugunin? He left Google back in May and has dropped off the face of the internet. I want to interview him for my podcast.
