PyOS_AfterFork() (was: CVS: python/dist/src/Doc/api api.tex,1.68,1.69)
by Greg Stein 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Woah. Never knew this was in Python. It is quite interesting, as there is a very similar concept within Apache. In that model, you register a cleanup function for the particular data that needs to be cleaned post-fork. After the fork occurs, the cleanups are called. In essence, Python would register PyOS_AfterFork. Of course, any schmoe can call fork() and avoid the cleanups, so it bungs up the whole scheme. In Apache, the "only" way to fork is to call an APR function, which guarantees the cleanups. Cheers, -g On Wed, Jun 28, 2000 at 08:53:17AM -0700, Fred L.

SourceForge patch notifications (was RE: [Python-Dev] ANN: Release schedule)

[Trent Mick] > ... > BTW I have answered a couple a questions on my patches. Does > the person to whom the patch is assigned get an update notification? Trent & I investigated this offline: he added a comment to one of his patches to which I am assigned. I did indeed get prompt email notification, although as everyone has noticed by now, there's no indication from SF about *why* I was getting notified; just: From: noreply(a)sourceforge.net [mailto:noreply@sourceforge.net] Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2000 12:01 PM To: tmick(a)mail.com; tim_one(a)email.msn.com Subject: [Patch #100513] fix posixmodule for 64-bit systems (mainly Win64) Patch #100513 has been updated.

Named Unicode Characters
by M.-A. Lemburg 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

I've just checked in the patches by Bill Tutt, which add support for \N{NAMED UNICODE CHARACTERS}. The new escape code is available per default in the standard unicode-escape codec. The (big) hash table needed to drive the mapping is loaded on demand to reduce memory overhead. The patch also includes a new tool called perfecthash which is used to generate the hash table (and function) from names to ordinals. I'm sure this can be of use in other areas too... but it needs some more work to become more generic (currently you have to edit the source code to generate other mapping modules). Thanks to Bill Tutt -- this is great work ! -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/

Python 1.6 schedule
by Guido van Rossum 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

I've updated the 1.6 page on python.org (http://www.python.org/1.6/) to include the latest schedule for 1.6. I've also included a link to Andrew's "what's new" article. Here's the new schedule in text form: July 1: beta 1; feature freeze. July 14: beta 2, in time for the O'Reilly Open Source Software Convention. August 1: release candidate. August 15: final release. I'm happy with how the patches are coming along today (/F even submitted the SRE patch...). We may actually have a release party Saturday! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Checkin Utility
by M.-A. Lemburg 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

I thought you might have some use for the attached utility. It's a simple script which helps with checking in patches which I've been using for a while now. It also hides the CVS options and parameters away as far as possible, so that CVS knowledge is not really needed to complete the task. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/

Re: [Python-checkins] CVS: distutils/distutils util.py,1.36,1.37
by Greg Stein 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

Would the "shlex" module be helpful here? It is in the standard library and is (well?) maintained by ESR. It could help reduce the code inside distutils. [ I've always questioned the need for distutils' own "copy file" functions and whatnot... seems there is a bit of duplication occurring... ] Cheers, -g On Sat, Jun 24, 2000 at 01:40:05PM -0700, Greg Ward wrote: > Update of /cvsroot/python/distutils/distutils > In directory slayer.i.sourceforge.net:/tmp/cvs-serv28287 > > Modified Files: > util.py > Log Message: > Added 'split_quoted()' function to deal with strings that are quoted in > Unix shell-like syntax (eg. in Python's Makefile, for one thing -- now that > I have this function, I'll probably allow quoted strings in config files too. > > Index: util.py > =================================================================== > RCS file: /cvsroot/python/distutils/distutils/util.py,v > retrieving revision 1.36 > retrieving revision 1.37 > diff -C2 -r1.36 -r1.37 > *** util.py 2000/06/18 15:45:55 1.36 > --- util.py 2000/06/24 20:40:02 1.37 > *************** > *** 167,168 **** > --- 167,235 ---- > > return error > + > + > + # Needed by 'split_quoted()' > + _wordchars_re = re.compile(r'[^\\\'\"\ ]*') > + _squote_re = re.compile(r"'(?:[^'\\]|\\.)*'") > + _dquote_re = re.compile(r'"(?:[^"\\]|\\.)*"') > + > + def split_quoted (s): > + """Split a string up according to Unix shell-like rules for quotes and > + backslashes.

Python 1.6 planning
by Jeremy Hylton 28 Jun '00

28 Jun '00

We discussed plans for Python 1.6 at the all-hands PythonLabs staff meeting yesterday. (At this meeting, the PythonLabs staff closed ranks and agreed to say that Tim Peters exists.) I'd like to quickly summarize plans. The target release date for Python 1.6 beta 1 is early July. Any code that is going to be in the beta must be checked in before July 1. Tim Peters pushed us to take care of the patches backlog. Our plan is to close the patches list and move all patch management to Sourceforge. We know the list is broken; we don't know that Sourceforge is broken. There are a bunch of modules and technical issues that must be resolved one way or another. SRE-- /F needs to finish this up. Unanswered question is whether the beta will ship with known bugs. GC-- Neil's garbage collector will be shipped as experimental feature requiring configure option. XML-- Some parts of the XML package will be included in the library under the xmlcore package. SAX and DOM (provided that it is stable enough). Andrew gets to decide, I believe. List comprehensions -- Next release. Despite the love fest at the meeting (everyone seems to want them), there is no way an implementation will be ready or stable enough. httplib-- We will include Greg Stein's new httplib, provided that it supports an old-style HTTPS class. curses-- one return type needs to be implemented (5-tuple). Andrew will finish ASAP. ESR's ascii module will be part of the curses package. imputil-- The imputil module will be dropped in the std library to enable wider distribution, but no changes will be made to the normal import machinery. Unicode shorthand-- Andrew will look at Bill Tutt's code. We intend to add it. Unicode compression-- We need to find out if Christian will be able to provide a compressed database. ldso_aix-- I still don't understand, but I didn't really try; Vladimir must help threads-- They will be on by default if the platform supports. gettext-- Barry will check in his gettext module. atexit.py-- add it Jeremy
