Issues to be closed: objections?
by Daniel (ajax) Diniz Feb. 18, 2009

Feb. 18, 2009

Hi, I've marked some issues (25 now) to close, mostly because: - there was no reply from OP, nor a clear justification for the issue; - there are messages explaining why the issue is invalid; - the OSes/versions of the report suggest the issue is currently invalid; However, I've been mistaken about the desirability of leaving an issue open a couple of times in last days. So, I'd really appreciate if someone could take a quick look at the issues below to avoid any undesirable closing. I'll … [View More]

If someone sets the -3 option to get py3k warnings, should the classic division warning get turned-on automatically? Right now, I get no warnings for: python -3 -c "9 / 5" Raymond

30-bit PyLong digits in 3.1?
by Mark Dickinson Feb. 17, 2009

Feb. 17, 2009

A few months ago there was a discussion [1] about changing Python's long integer type to use base 2**30 instead of base 2**15. http://bugs.python.org/issue4258 was opened for this. With much help from many people (but especially Antoine and Victor), I've finally managed to put together an essentially finished patch for this (see 30bit_longdigit14.patch in the tracker). I'd like to get this in for 3.1. Any objections or comments? Is this PEP territory? Summary of the patch: * Apart from … [View More]

Closing outdated Mac issues
by Daniel (ajax) Diniz Feb. 17, 2009

Feb. 17, 2009

Hi, In the discussion of a feature request for MacPython[1], the OP (hhas) said: As of Python 2.6/3.0, all Mac-specific modules are deprecated/eliminated from the standard library and there are no longer any plans to submit appscript for possible inclusion. This issue should be rejected and closed. If that is the current state of Mac modules, there are no less than 17 issues* that should be closed, 4 bug reports** that might be kept open and 4 mixed-cases*** that might be … [View More]

Looks like the MDS ate the copy sent to the list, here's it again: Brett Cannon wrote: > As of Python 2.6 everything Mac-specific is deprecated and in 3.0 they > are gone (you can read PEP 3108 for the details or just note that the > Mac/Modules directory is gone in 3.0). They will still be around in 2.7, > though, as these are Py3K deprecations. OK, I've now read PEPs 3108 and 11, but still would like some ruling about RFEs in these stagnated Mac modules. Maybe PEP 4 could … [View More]

Patch logging module for IronPython compatibility
by Michael Foord Feb. 17, 2009

Feb. 17, 2009

Hello all, Issue 5287 is a patch for the logging module for compatibility with IronPython. IronPython provides sys._getframe but it throws an exception if you call it with a non-zero depth. This may be fixed in a future version of IronPython. http://bugs.python.org/issue5287 It doesn't at all change the behaviour on other platforms (does an explicit platform check I'm afraid) but fixes a nasty problem with the logging module not working at all on IronPython. As this is a bugfix for … [View More]
