www/svn python.org status update
by A.M. Kuchling Aug. 12, 2009

Aug. 12, 2009

The following sites are up again on a new machine, but cannot be updated through SVN hooks or whatever mechanism: www.python.org docs.python.org www.jython.org planet.python.org planet.jython.org svn.python.org was deliberately not brought up again. The backups were a few hours behind and missing the ~10 most recent commits. Not disastrous, but it could probably mess up people's SVN trees, so after some IRC discussion, the decision was to wait until the original disks are available again. … [View More]

by Benjamin Peterson Aug. 10, 2009

Aug. 10, 2009

Once Subversion is back up (today, tomorrow?), I will tag the 3.1 maintence branch as 3.1.1rc1. The tree will remain frozen until Saturday. If at that time, no one has found something wrong with the RC, I will retag it as the final bugfix release. -- Regards, Benjamin

In python 3, why does codecs.open even still exist? As best I can tell, codecs.open should be the same as regular open, but for a unicode file -- and all text files are treated as unicode in python 3.0 So at … [View More]

by A.M. Kuchling Aug. 8, 2009

Aug. 8, 2009

Both www.python.org and svn.python.org are down. They're hosted on the same machine, and it seems to have run into disk problems and hasn't rebooted even after power-cycling. Thomas Wouters will be visiting the machine physically tomorrow to try to diagnose the problem. (The machine also hosts planet.python.org and hg.python.org.) --amk
