Committing bsddb 4.6.4, and where can I put testsuite temp files?
by Jesus Cea May 25, 2008

May 25, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just committed pybsddb 4.6.4 to python svn. My next step (after a successfull buildbot cycle, I hope!) is to commit the new testsuite. First I need to review any changes there since I maintain pybsddb. The testsuite creates a lot of files/directories while working. Fine, since it cleans later, unless some test crashes hard. My testcode defines a variable to the path I want to use to keep those files/dirs. Currently it is "/tmp/z-BerkeleyDB", or … [View More]

Re: [Python-Dev] Importing bsddb 4.6.21; with or without AES encryption?
by Trent Nelson May 24, 2008

Gah. I just went and visited the Berkeley DB download site as I was preparing my commit message so I could refer to the exact .tar.gz being imported, only to notice that the latest version is now 4.7.25. Jesus, can we use this version?

In principle, you can compile BDB without crypto, and pybsddb3 should work, but you would lose ability to open any DB formerly created using page encryption or page checksum. Export laws aside, we better compile with crypto :).

Importing bsddb 4.6.21; with or without AES encryption?
by Trent Nelson May 23, 2008

May 23, 2008

I was about to commit an initial import of the bsddb 4.6.21 source to the 'external' area in the repo, which I obtained from the following URL: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html I downloaded the source that includes AES encryption, for no reason other than it was first on the list. I'm now wondering if we should only be importing the 'NC' source that doesn't contain any encryption? Jesus, does pybsddb use any of the Berkeley DB encryption … [View More]

Addition of "pyprocessing" module to standard lib.
by Jesse Noller May 23, 2008

May 23, 2008

I am looking for any questions, concerns or benchmarks python-dev has regarding the possible inclusion of the pyprocessing module to the standard library - preferably in the 2.6 timeline. In March, I began working on the PEP for the inclusion of the pyprocessing (processing) module into the python standard library[1]. The original email to the stdlib-sig can be found here, it includes a basic overview of the module: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/stdlib-sig/2008-March/000129.html The … [View More]

buffer interface for C extensions
by Dan Lenski May 23, 2008

May 23, 2008

Hi all, I've written a small C extension to submit commands to SCSI devices via Linux's sg_io driver (for a camera hacking project). The extension is just a wrapper around a couple ioctl()'s with Pythonic exception handling thrown in. One of my extension methods is called like this from python: sg.write(fd, command[, data, timeout) Both command and data are binary strings. I would like to be able to use either a regular Python string or an array('B', ...) for these read-only … [View More]
