pthread sem PyThread_acquire_lock
by Florian Mayer July 3, 2009

July 3, 2009

Hello. As this is my first post I will try to introduce myself as requested in the welcome email. If you aren't interested in my person, just continue reading at the next paragraph. I'm a student from Vienna/Austria. I attend what would match high school in the United States. I have been writing Python for about 3 years now and have just began to dig into the implementation of CPython. Now to my real question. I have noticed that PyThread_acquire_lock swallows all signals with pthread … [View More]

Exception for setting attributes of built-in type
by Seo Sanghyeon July 2, 2009

July 2, 2009

Exception for setting attributes of built-in type differs between CPython and IronPython. This is not purely theoretical, as zope.interface tries to set Implements declaration as __implemented__ attribute of built-in type object, and excepts TypeError. Python 2.6.1 >>> object.flag = True TypeError: can't set attributes of built-in/extension type 'object' IronPython 2.6 >>> object.flag = True AttributeError: 'object' object has no attribute 'flag' I was surprised that … [View More]

I do have a question about the current draft... Do zipped distributions use EGG-INFO or a project-version.egg-info? This isn't spelled out in the PEP, although I get the general idea that the EGG-INFO format isn't supported, and thus the PEP and … [View More]

Flow of control - a new way - Idea
by vin vin June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

HI all I am not the too technical guy, but thinking about the new way of controlling the flow instead of throwing an error. as of now if we need to break a control and go back, exceptions helps, but it is not a actual way. it would be great if we have a control over the frames execution, I mean A calls B which calls C which calls D at that point if we think to move directly to B (what error handler do if that B has the handler defined of the error), changing the frames instruction pointer … [View More]

Anyone against having a loop option for regrtest?
by Jesse Noller June 30, 2009

June 30, 2009

Something that's been helping me squirrel out "wacky" and "fun" bugs in multiprocessing is running the tests in a loop - sometimes hundreds of times. Right now, I hack this up with a bash script, but I'm sitting here wondering if adding a "loop for x iterations" option to regrtest.py would be useful to others as well. Any thoughts? Does anyone hate this idea with the power of a thousand suns? -jesse

Re: [Python-Dev] ndPython: I NEED TO TALK WITH ONE OF THE PYTHON CORE
by Filippo Battaglia June 29, 2009

June 29, 2009

Thanks for your answers. Sorry for the title in upper case. I didn't want to create troubles. :) I've an important question for you: is it possible that a large python module, created using SWIG and with a hundred of routines, makes slower the execution (i.e. the job of ceval.c) of the Python interpreter ? We've observed that, if we don't import ndpsp.pyc at startup, the time of execution of a loop containing the pass instruction becomes near normal. How Python recalls the C functions in … [View More]

2.4.7: Final 2.4 release
by "Martin v. Löwis" June 29, 2009

June 29, 2009

Python 2.4 will become 5 years old this November. I plan to make the final security release this month or next month. If you want to see additional patches in Python 2.4, please let us now, or commit them yourself if you can. Remember that only security fixes can be considered for inclusion, and preferably only fixes that have already been applied to later releases of Python. Regards, Martin

[RELEASED] Python 3.1 final
by Benjamin Peterson June 28, 2009

June 28, 2009

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm thrilled to announce the first production release of Python 3.1. Python 3.1 focuses on the stabilization and optimization of the features and changes that Python 3.0 introduced. For example, the new I/O system has been rewritten in C for speed. File system APIs that use unicode strings now handle paths with undecodable bytes in them. Other features include an ordered dictionary implementation, a condensed syntax for nested with statements, and … [View More]
