Thanks!

I'll go ahead and point Ethan to the dev guide, so he'll send his SSH keys to the appropriate place. Naturally I'm volunteering to mentor him in the initial work he'll be doing as a Python core developer. We'll start with getting an enum implementation committed (issue 17947). Since the implementation will almost certainly be based in large parts on Ethan's ref435 code, I think it's fair to let him commit that once it goes through a review.

P.S. code review of on issue 17947 will be very much appreciated!

Eli

I have not responded before since Guido's approval seems sufficient ;-).
The main concrete step is that one of the repository supervisors add his  access key.

You, Barry, and Guido, who have also worked on enum, know him best and are the principle supporters of this proposal. I gather that you all agree that he has shown the 'cooperativeness' necessary to a collective project.


and has also been active on the tracker for a couple of years (username stoneleaf).

As 'stoneleaf', he has been active on 12  issues since June 2010 (nosy on 2 more). One patch is open and 5 have been applied (3 by Nick, 1 each by Antoine and R. David),  I would say that the enum code, which appears to be on the way to acceptance,  is equivalent to a few more typical issue patches.

FWIW, This is enough for a +1 from me.

That is the enum PEP.  http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0435/
I consider a (nontrivial) reference implementation to be a direct contribution even if he has not yet been pushing text changes.


>Any objections?

+1 for Ethan.
