[RELEASED] Python 3.5.0a3 is now available
by Larry Hastings March 30, 2015

March 30, 2015

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release team, I'm thrilled to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0a3. Python 3.5.0a3 is the third alpha release of Python 3.5, which will be the next major release of Python. Python 3.5 is still under heavy development, and is far from complete. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Two important notes for Windows users about Python 3.5.0a3: * If you have previously installed Python 3.5.0a1, you may need to manually uninstall it before installing Python 3.5.0a3 (issue23612). * If installing Python 3.5.0a3 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries. You can find Python 3.5.0a3 here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350a3/ Happy hacking, //arry/

Proposing Paul Moore for commit privileges
by Brett Cannon March 16, 2015

March 16, 2015

Paul has been participating on python-dev for quite a while, he is a committer on pip, and (co-)author on 5 PEPs. At this point I think it would be prudent for Paul to have commit privileges if for any other reason than to help manage the code related to his PEPs. But on top of that I bet Steve wouldn't mind more help managing Windows-specific stuff.

Minor update to Python 3.5 release schedule
by Larry Hastings March 15, 2015

March 15, 2015

I always intended all my releases to be on Sundays--that all the release engineering work is done on weekends, which is generally easier for everybody. But I goofed up the 3.5 release schedule and had proposed 3.5.0a3 to be released Saturday March 28th. With the assent of the team I bumped it forward a day to Sunday March 29th. I apologize for my goof. Cheers, //arry/

hg.python.org extremely slow (for me?)
by Ethan Furman March 11, 2015

March 11, 2015

For at least 24 hours now my attempts to connect to hg.python.org have been futile. I finally stuck to it this time, and about three minutes later finally got the prompt, but after entering my password got a remote: Connection closed by 104.130.43.97 abort: no suitable response from remote hg! Any ideas? -- ~Ethan~

MSDN Subscriptions/Renewals
by Brian Curtin March 3, 2015

March 3, 2015

Hey all, Since I've gotten a couple of requests now for MSDN renewals, I may as well try to do them in a big batch. If you have an MSDN subscription that is expired or soon expiring, I can get you a renewal if you send me the email address you use to login and your Subscriber ID. This is found at https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/manage/ If you don't have a subscription but would like one - it gives you access to Windows ISOs, Visual Studio, and other Microsoft software - please send me your preferred email address, mailing address, and telephone number, and I'll get you setup.
