External module tests skipping on Windows build slaves?
by David Bolen Nov. 14, 2009

Nov. 14, 2009

While working with the Windows (and now Windows 7) build slaves I've been noticing that a number of "unexpected" test skips are occurring, mostly for external modules like ssl, bz2, tk, etc... However, I know for a fact that those libraries are being fetched and built, so I was a little perplexed that they were being skipped for testing. I don't think it's a regression due to the recent slave work, but something that may have been happening for a while, if not always. Some manual testing I … [View More]

decimal.py: == and != comparisons involving NaNs
by Stefan Krah Nov. 13, 2009

Nov. 13, 2009

Hi, in a (misguided) bugreport (http://bugs.python.org/issue7279) I was questioning the reasons for allowing NaN comparisons with == and != rather than raising InvalidOperation. I think two main issues emerge from the brief discussion: 1. Should the comparison operators follow the 'compare' function from the standard? The standard says: "An implementation may use this operation [compare] under the covers to implement a closed set of comparison operations (greater than, equal, etc.) … [View More]

mode = "python-dev reader" Please excuse me if I'm wrong here, but I think python-dev just isn't the right place to discuss this topic, because it's about 3rd party packages and it's got nothing to do with the development *of the python language itself*, but generated a lot of traffic. mode = "package developer" I personally added a PyPI entry for my open source project just because it's there and it's a more or less standard, like CPAN in the Perl world, so I hoped others would perhaps … [View More]
