Re: [Python-Dev] Goals for patch selection for 2.1.2
by Anthony Baxter Oct. 22, 2001

Oct. 22, 2001

Hm. What's the general consensus on portability fixes w.r.t. 2.1.2? I'm leaning toward "yes", but my concern is that they stand a chance of causing some other weird freakshow platform to fail to compile, where it previously worked... obviously I don't mean HP/UX threading here, as I think it's a lost cause :) But on the other hand, if it helps a platform build, where it previously did not... Hm hm hm. Anthony

Imports very slow on one NT4 system - any idea what to check for
by Barry Scott Oct. 19, 2001

Oct. 19, 2001

I helping a friend get up to speed with Python. He has installed the ActiveState 2.1.1 on a number of machines. All run nice and fast except for one machine. It is one of group of identical desktop Dual 866MHz PIII systems with 1G RAM, SCSI hard drive running Windows NT4.0/SP6a. Importing getopt, re, sys, string and os takes 7 seconds. Using python -v just shows a uniform slowness, all files are slow. python -vv he tells me did not show a particular slow spot. His laptop Crusoe 700MHz machine,… [View More]

Python documentation for iSilo
by Fred L. Drake, Jr. Oct. 19, 2001

Oct. 19, 2001

I've re-worked the iSilo version of the documenation for the first beta of Python 2.2; each manual is now a separate document for iSilo, so you can pick & choose the documents you need. They are also smaller than the first test version (by about 1/3 of a megabyte), which is a nice savings. This version includes a few post-beta documentation fixes. To try it out, download the file isilo-2.2b1+.zip from: ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/doc/2.2b1/ Please send comments on this … [View More]

should I check in this test_xmlrpc test case change?
by Skip Montanaro Oct. 19, 2001

Oct. 19, 2001

When I made the latest change to xmlrpclib.py (to test for integer overflow), I also expanded the test_xmlrpc.py file. Unfortunately, I forgot to check it in. Should I do that now or file it as a separate patch? Skip

Has socketmodule compilation broken for anyone else lately?
