what do you like about other trackers and what do you hate about SF?
by Brett Cannon April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

I am starting to hash out what the Call for Trackers is going to say on the Infrastructure mailing list. Laura Creighton suggested we have a list of features that we would like to see and what we all hate about SF so as to provide some guidelines in terms of how to set up the test trackers that people try to sell us on. So, if you could, please reply to this message with ONE thing you have found in a tracker other than SF that you have liked (especially compared to SF) and ONE thing you … [View More]

"mick-windows" buildbot uptime
by Trent Mick April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

We've pretty much gotten settled into our new diggs at work here (ActiveState) so my Windows buildbot machine should have better uptime from now on. Cheers, Trent -- Trent Mick trentm(a)activestate.com

Re: [Python-Dev] New-style icons, .desktop file
by Andrew Clover April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Morning! I've done some tweaks to the previously-posted-about icon set, taking note of some of the comments here and on -list. In particular, amongst more minor changes: - added egg icon (based on zip) - flipped pycon to work better with shortcut arrow - emphasised borders of 32x32 version of pycon, and changed text colour, in order to distinguish more from pyc. In balance I think this is enough of a change, though Nick Coghlan's idea of just using the plus in this … [View More]

A better and more basic array type
by Dennis Heuer April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Yes, this was previously "inheriting basic types more efficiently" but now I want something different ;) I looked at the array type and found it quite C-ish. It is also not suited for arithmetics because it's a sequence type like a constrained list and not efficiently (and comfortably) usable like a *sliceable* integer. I'd rather like to find a basic built-in array type in python, which doesn't even ask for the format but just deals with the technical issues internally. This array type works … [View More]

Re: [Python-Dev] inheriting basic types more efficiently
by Dennis Heuer April 28, 2006

April 28, 2006

Have never seen such an answer before. Please excuse if I read it wrong. The method would just return the new values, for shure. That is what it shall do. The interpreter calls that method for receiving the new (to be used) values to pass them on to the real target (the called attribute). The method is a kind of filter to be used intermediately.

traceback.py still broken in 2.5a2
by Guido van Rossum April 28, 2006

The change below was rolled back because it broke other stuff. But IMO it is actually necessary to fix this, otherwise those few exceptions that don't derive from Exception won't be printed correctly by the traceback module: guido:~/p/osx guido$ ./python.exe Python 2.5a2 (trunk:45765, Apr 27 2006, 11:36:10) [GCC 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 4061)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> def f(): ... raise KeyboardInterrupt ..… [View More]

It is being released to solicit feedback and hopefully discover bugs, as well as allowing you to determine how changes in 2.5 might impact you. If you find things broken or incorrect, please log a bug on Sourceforge. In particular, note that changes to improve Python'… [View More]
