[RELEASED] Python 3.4.0 release candidate 2 is now available
by Larry Hastings Feb. 24, 2014

Feb. 24, 2014

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm delighted to announce the second and final release candidate 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 include: * PEP 428, a "pathlib" module providing object-oriented filesystem paths * PEP 435, a standardized "enum" module * PEP 436, a build enhancement that will help generate introspection information for builtins * 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 * PEP 446, changing file descriptors to not be inherited by default in subprocesses * PEP 450, a new "statistics" module * PEP 451, standardizing module metadata for Python's module import system * PEP 453, a bundled installer for the *pip* package manager * PEP 454, a new "tracemalloc" module for tracing Python memory allocations * PEP 456, a new hash algorithm for Python strings and binary data * PEP 3154, a new and improved protocol for pickled objects * PEP 3156, a new "asyncio" module, a new framework for asynchronous I/O Python 3.4 is now in "feature freeze", meaning that no new features will be added. The final release is projected for mid-March 2014. The python.org web site has recently been updated to something completely new, and I'm having some difficulty updating it. For now I've made Python 3.4.0rc2 available on the legacy web site: http://legacy.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/ Once I can update the new web site, Python 3.4.0rc2 will be available here: http://python.org/download/releases/ (I'm not sure what the final URL will be, but you'll see it listed on that page.) Please consider trying Python 3.4.0rc2 with your code and reporting any new 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)

new python.org
by Yury Selivanov Feb. 20, 2014

Feb. 20, 2014

Hi, Do we have a mail list/group where we can discuss the python.org site? I've noticed some typos and have some advices, like: - Python logo has a little yellow 'BETA' label, which may give some new users impression, that it is the Python Language Beta, not the python.org website. - Upcoming events / Latest news aren't updated since 2012 - Freeback Wanted banner should be removed, or at least, the word "beta" should be dropped. - etc Yury

Hi all, Just got this output from pushing a commit: """ pushing to ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython searching for changes remote: adding changesets remote: adding manifests remote: adding file changes remote: added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files remote: buildbot: change(s) NOT sent, something went wrong: remote: buildbot: [Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectError'>: An error occurred while connecting: 113: No route to host. remote: buildbot: ] remote: sent email to roundup at report(a)bugs.python.org remote: notified python-checkins(a)python.org of incoming changeset c964b6b83720 """ Trying to load buildbot.python.org timed out as well.

review links
by Yury Selivanov Feb. 3, 2014

Feb. 3, 2014

Hello, Another quick infrastructure question (is this the right list, btw?): I don't see 'review' links for some patches. Like in issue #14911, Kristján uploaded two patches, same day, almost same time, and I see a review link only for one of them. Screenshot: http://goo.gl/HK2oer Thanks, Yury

PEP 450: Commit access for Steven D'Aprano?
by Nick Coghlan Feb. 2, 2014

Feb. 2, 2014

When PEP 450 (the statistics module) was accepted, it looks like we missed the step of granting Steven commit access for module maintenance purposes. We should probably fix that :) I'm happy to handle the task of bringing Steven up to speed on the mechanics of contributing directly (and there's always the option of pinging core-mentorship(a)python.org with any specific questions). Steven: http://docs.python.org/devguide/coredev.html Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
