commit 93025:1c2c44313408 removed (at least) 2.7.9 NEWS entries
by Matthias Klose 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

The commit 93025:1c2c44313408 removed almost all NEWS entries which were added after the 2.7.8 release. I didn't check for other files, but maybe somebody more familiar with this commit/merge should have a look. Matthias

Anatoly (again)
by Nick Coghlan 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Why is Anatoly posting to python-dev? I thought he was banned when he was banned from the tracker. I refuse to waste my time trying to reason with him, and I consider the "just ignore him" approach to be unacceptable, as it leaves him free to waste everyone *else's* time trying to break through his parochial lack of empathy. Regards, Nick.

Commit rights for Robert Collins
by Michael Foord 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hello all, Robert Collins is volunteering to help with maintenance and improvement of unittest. He's probably known to many of you, but Robert is the creator of subunit, testtools and many Python libraries particularly in the area of testing. I'd like Robert to have commit rights for this purpose. He's already submitted quite a few fixes and patches. Most recently issue 16662. http://bugs.python.org/issue16662 Robert is an experienced and accomplished Python developer, so won't need much mentoring beyond learning our development processes (which branches to merge to, when a bug fix can be backported etc). In as much as he needs any mentoring I'm more than happy to work with Robert. Improvements to unittest, and design discussions around new APIs and API changes, will continue to happen on python-dev and on the tracker. All the best, Michael Foord

"BreamoreBoy" is back on tracker touching hundreds of issues without adding any new information. This is certainly not the first time. Can we ban him?
