Does anyone know how to edit Misc/python.man to reflect this change? Heck, does anyone know enough Nroff or whatever to check that python.man is even vaguely up to date?… [View More]

Status of undocumented distutils features in 2.4?
by Phillip J. Eby Oct. 6, 2004

Oct. 6, 2004

I was looking up something in the distutils source today, and I noticed that there are some new, undocumented, and not quite complete features that were added earlier this year. Specifically, the 'requires' and 'provides' arguments to 'setup()', and the 'checkdep' command. Should these be removed for 2.4? It doesn't seem likely they'd be able to be fleshed out before the beta, especially since as far as I can recall they haven't been discussed on the Distutils-SIG yet, and some of the … [View More]

Generator expression in _strptime.py TimeRE.__init__
by Nick Coghlan Oct. 6, 2004

Oct. 6, 2004

This is currently breaking the tests for me, as [:] doesn't work for generator expressions. Either TimeRE.__init__ needs to go back to using a list comp, or it needs to use list() in __seqToRE instead of [:]. Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan Brisbane, Australia

Re: [Python-Dev] proposed struct module format code addition

If the proposed struct module post seemed to have been a dupe, it is because it sat in a moderator queue for a few days. Sorry about that. - Josiah

Guidelines for Logging Usage
by Vinay Sajip＠RedDove Oct. 5, 2004

Oct. 5, 2004

[Michael Dubner] > Main purpose of logging module is not redirection, but filtering capability. I don't agree. In general, both the redirection capability (targeting events at a particular audience) and the filtering capability (verbosity control) are important. Regards, Vinay Sajip

grant applications
by Paul F. Dubois Oct. 4, 2004

Oct. 4, 2004

Dear devs, You'll be pleased to learn that the PSF grants process brought in sixty-four proposals. I think that is a stunning success, and the wide variety of these proposals is a testimony to the breadth and strength of the community. We should seek some branding sponsorship in the future so we can accept more of these. I'm thinking along the likes of the "Kraft Cottage Cheese Grant".
