RELEASED Python 2.4, beta 2
by Anthony Baxter 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the second beta of Python 2.4. Python 2.4b2 is a beta release. We'd greatly appreciate it if you could download it, kick the tires and let us know of any problems you find, but it is probably not suitable for production usage. ~ http://www.python.org/2.4 Notable changes in beta2 include another bug fix in the intersection of weakrefs and the garbage collector, time.strptime() correctly handling %U and %W arguments, and a fix for a problem of old source code being cached and shown in tracebacks. There's a number of other bugfixes as well, see either the highlights, the What's New in Python 2.4, or the detailed NEWS file -- all available from the Python 2.4 webpage. This is the second beta release of Python 2.4. Python 2.4 is now in the beta part of the release cycle - there should be few or no new features, merely bug fixes. From here, we plan to have a release candidate in a couple of weeks, and a final release at the start of December - but obviously this plan is subject to change, based on any problems that might crop up. Please log any problems you have with this release in the SourceForge bug tracker (noting that you're using 2.4b2): ~ http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?group_id=5470 Enjoy the new release, Anthony Anthony Baxter anthony(a)python.org Python Release Manager (on behalf of the entire python-dev team) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBiW7YDt3F8mpFyBYRAq7DAKCskVfPO4LEQlC3zijupOnd9snCWACgpMHX bH7xepODsyo1115TMQ9CQkw= =0UOq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Tests broken on Windows
by Tim Peters 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Current test_shutil is apparently trying to do something that can't work on Windows, so it fails: test_shutil test test_shutil failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_shutil.py", line 28, in test_on_error shutil.rmtree(TESTFN, onerror=self.check_args_to_onerror) File "C:\Code\python\lib\shutil.py", line 168, in rmtree onerror(os.rmdir, path, sys.exc_info()) File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_shutil.py", line 36, in check_args_to_onerror self.assertEqual(func, os.remove) AssertionError: <built-in function rmdir> != <built-in function remove> 1 test failed: test_shutil After that, it leaves behind temp directories that cause other tests to fail. Sorry, I've got other problems on my stack, and can't make time for this one.
