Windows buildbot trick
by Thomas Heller July 19, 2008

July 19, 2008

The most annoying thing on the windows buildbots is when Python crashes hard (with a general protection fault or stack overflow, for example). Usually the system pops up a dialog in this case which allows to attach a debugger to the process. This dialog will stay open until the maintainer manually closes it, and will prevent the next builds. On my boxes I have inserted these two lines into the PythonXY/Scripts/buildbot script, right at the top: import win32api; win32api.SetErrorMode(7) … [View More]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The releases have been made, so both the 3.0 branch and the trunk (2.6) are now open for commits. Remember, there's only one more planned beta, and we /really/ want to try to hit the October 1st deadline.

Thanks everyone. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBSIATAHEjvBPtnXfVAQIWLAP+… [View More]

git repositories for trunk and py3k
by Neil Schemenauer July 18, 2008

July 18, 2008

Hi, In case anyone is interested, I have git repositories for both the trunk and the py3k branch of the Python source code. They are up-to-date and so using them with git-svn would be much faster than starting from scratch. If anyone is interested, I will find a place to host them. They are each about 150 MB in size.

Unittest PEP do's and don'ts (BDFL pronouncement)
by Guido van Rossum July 18, 2008

July 18, 2008

Having skimmed much material about proposed changes to the venerable unitest module, I'd like to set some boundaries. PEPs that don't follow the following rules are very unlikely to be accepted. 1. The API is not going to be renamed to PEP-8 conformance. This notwithstanding the purported outcome of earlier discussions. The renaming will cause too much grief for 3rd party developers; tracking down why unittests fail is hard enough without also having to consider changes to the unittest … [View More]

NO CHECKINS - BETA 2 COMING
by Barry Warsaw July 18, 2008

July 18, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Please, no checkins on the 3.0 or 2.6 branches until further notice. We're a go with the releases tonight. Email is not the quickest way to get my attention. For that, use irc on freenode, #python-dev. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBSIAFGnEjvBPtnXfVAQIBmwP/VzIYu58DzSND0CNM0NKfsWVS9yTnBVi8 EijaxenUv0rRVloCawJbK8cMOyI0JmEa4GE5bMrCf+o9niRgFeJxrYEaw1jN4fWW dsXH8Fuw/nHpoUnFDbu5ePaBdvcOSuWKTS/… [View More]
