2.4 & 2.5 beta 3 crash
by Dino Viehland Aug. 18, 2006

Aug. 18, 2006

We've been working on fixing some exception handling bugs in IronPython where we differ from CPython. Along the way we ran into this issue which causes CPython to crash when the code below is run. It crashes on both 2.4 and 2.5 beta 3. The code's technically illegal, but it probably shouldn't crash either :) def test(): for abc in range(10): try: pass finally: try: continue except: pass test()

uuid tests failing on Windows
by "Martin v. Löwis" Aug. 18, 2006

Aug. 18, 2006

test_uuid1 and test_uuid4 fail consistently on Windows; apparently, the generated universally-unique identifiers aren't even unique within a set of 1000 identifiers. Can somebody please fix that? If not, should we remove the uuid module as being immature? Regards, Martin

Re: [Python-Dev] TRUNK IS UNFROZEN, available for 2.6 work if you are so inclined

From a naive POV, the docs' example is quite right. except that it doesn't work? the problem is that it's using a *high-level* API to manipulate objects that are not properly initialized. the documentation should be fixed (doctest for the C API, anyone?) </F>

Sprints next week at Google
by Neal Norwitz Aug. 17, 2006

Aug. 17, 2006

This is a reminder (I don't think anyone else sent one, I sure hope not). We are holding 4 days of sprints next week at Google offices in NY city and Mt View, CA. These are open if you'd like to attend. It would be very helpful to pre-register on the wiki as we can notify security and generally make things easier. Of the full-time Googlers, Guido and Alex will be sprinting in CA and Jeremy and I will be sprinting in NY. http://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleSprint Cheers, n

Fixing 2.5 windows buildbots
by "Martin v. Löwis" Aug. 17, 2006

Aug. 17, 2006

I'd like to fix the two build failures that the Windows buildbots show for the 2.5 trunk. I'm not quite sure what the OpenSSL failure is, yet, but the sqlite error should be fixable with the patch below. Ok to work on this?

TRUNK IS UNFROZEN, available for 2.6 work if you are so inclined
by Anthony Baxter Aug. 17, 2006

Aug. 17, 2006

The release candidate is done - we creep ever closer to 2.5 final. Hoooray! All future 2.5 releases (including 2.5 final!) will now be done from the new release25-maint trunk (svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/branches/release25-maint) - so any changes you want to see after 2.5c1 and before 2.5 final will need to be applied to that branch as well as to the trunk. From now until the final release, I think we should say no checkins to the release25-maint branch without either … [View More]

RELEASED Python 2.5 (release candidate 1)
by Anthony Baxter Aug. 17, 2006

Aug. 17, 2006

On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm happy to announce the first RELEASE CANDIDATE of Python 2.5. This is not yet the final release - it is not suitable for production use. It is being released to solicit feedback and hopefully expose bugs, as well as allowing you to determine how changes in 2.5 might impact you. As a release candidate, this is one of your last chances to test the new code in 2.5 before the final release. *Please* try this release out and let … [View More]

2.5: recently introduced sgmllib regexp bug hangs Python
by John J Lee Aug. 17, 2006

Aug. 17, 2006

Looks like revision 47154 introduced a regexp that hangs Python (Ctrl-C won't kill the process, CPU usage sits near 100%) under some circumstances. There's a test case here: http://python.org/sf/1541697 The problem isn't seen if you read the whole file at once (or almost the whole file at once). (But that doesn't make it a non-bug, AFAICS.) I'm not sure what the problem is, but presumably the relevant part of the patch is this: +starttag = re.compile(r'<[a-zA-Z][-_.:a-zA-Z0-9]*\s*(… [View More]
