dinner at Standard in Dallas
by Jeremy Hylton Feb. 25, 2007

Feb. 25, 2007

I'm organizing a trip to Standard in downtown Dallas for dinner tonight (Sunday night). It's about a 10 minute cab ride to Standard. We can share cabs and get there without too much trouble. The restaurant is on the expensive side. I'm thinking we should leave from the hotal around 6:30pm. http://www.standarddallas.com/ http://restaurants.dallasobserver.com/search/restaurants.php?oid=27399 A large group of us went for dinner last year and had a great time. The food was excellent, short … [View More]

Embedded Python:: C/Python: Is Py_Finalize() necessary between embedded function calls?
by Sydney Pang Feb. 25, 2007

Feb. 25, 2007

Hi, I am developing an application where I have Python embedded in C functions using the C/Python API to execute commands. My question stems from my need to preserve a PyObject to pass between these Python embedded C functions. My question is: do I have to call Py_Finalize() at the end of each Python embedded C function? The abstract structure of my code looks like this: PyObject *po; main() { po = py_function_1(); // some C code in the middle here... po = py_function_2(… [View More]

Unicode command line parameter missing
by Joseph Armbruster Feb. 24, 2007

Feb. 24, 2007

Python Versions: 2.5 and trunk Browsing through the code this evening and noticed a discrepancy between the command line parameters listed with --help and those truly available in the code. Namely with the -U Unicode flag.. The -U option was added back in 2000, rev 15296 and mention of it was removed in rev 25288. Should the -U option still be handled from the command line? Python 2.5 Session without flag: >python Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)]… [View More]

C decimal project.
by Mateusz Rukowicz Feb. 24, 2007

Feb. 24, 2007

Hi, Last holidays I was writting C decimal during summer of code 2006, I planned to take a breath for 1-2 months and then continue work, but well, things didn't go the way I planned. Now I am ready to continue work, I mainly plan to optimize it a little bit (top priority would be cut some copying) and add C api, so C decimal would eventually leave sandbox. My question is - am I permitted to just continue work on svn? Or there is something I have to do before that? Any sugestions etc. … [View More]

NOARGS_NULL
by "Martin v. Löwis" Feb. 24, 2007

Feb. 24, 2007

Patch #1648268 corrects a huge load of errors in Python wrt. incorrect function pointers (i.e. functions called with a different signature then declared, through pointers). The rationale for this patch is that the submitter apparently has a platform where Python crashes in the face of these errors. I believe the patch is correct, and would like to apply it. The patch also renames many function arguments: parameters in a METH_NOARGS function get consistently named NOARGS_NULL (currently often … [View More]

Old bug still unfixed? [ python-Patches-1183712 ] package_data chops off first char of default package
by Hans Meine Feb. 23, 2007

Feb. 23, 2007

Hi! (I first posted this to distutils-sig but was told that distutils is a bit neglected there, so I decided to try to push these simple patches in via python-dev.) Lately, a student came to me complaining about an old distutils bug which bit him: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-August/020642.html The patch is quite trivial and cannot possibly break something AFAICS, so could someone please apply it? (Hmm, now that I write this; we are still using python 2.4.4 here, so … [View More]

[PATCH] Handling of scripts / substitution of python executable path
by Hans Meine Feb. 23, 2007

Feb. 23, 2007

Hi! For a long time, I have been annoyed by distutils behavior concerning "scripts": I always put #!/usr/bin/env python into the first line in order to let the incredibly useful "env" program start the right python version. I know that it is quite evil to hardcode /usr/bin/python or /usr/local/bin/python; I have seen dozens of #! hacks for finding e.g. perl, and I was delighted to find /usr/bin/env, which solves the problem once and for all. (And yes - it is always in /usr/bin/! ;-) … [View More]
