__setcall__
by Bj Raz 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

I was looking for a way to set a function being equal to another function: q(m+1) = q(m)+ ((-1)^m) * exp(lnanswer); I was hoping to use something like this: (q).__setcall__.(m+1) = (q).__setcall__.(m)+ ((-1)^m) * exp(lnanswer); As a work around. But I have not found the `__setcall__' built in being there. Here is the code block I'm working with: indvar = 200; q = 0; lnanswer = 0; for m = 1:150 lnanswer = (3 * m) * log(indvar) - log(factorial(3 * m)) ; q(m+1) = q(m)+ ((-1)^m) * exp(lnanswer); end lnanswer q Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

We are also proud to announce that we have booked our first Keynote speaker - Hilary Mason, her bio: "Hilary is the lead scientist at bit.ly, where she is finding sense in vast data sets. She is a former computer science professor with a background in machine learning and data mining, has published numerous academic papers, and regularly releases code on her personal site, http://www.hilarymason.com/. She has discovered two new species, loves to bake cookies, and asks way too many questions." We're really looking forward to having her this year as a keynote speaker! Remember, we've also added an "Extreme" talk track this year - no introduction, no fluff - only the pure technical meat!

Multiprocessing maintenance
by Antoine Pitrou 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hello everybody, Who is doing multiprocessing maintenance these days? I thought Ask Solem had been given commit privs for that, but I haven't seen any activity from him; and Jesse is, mostly, absent. Is anyone working on the multiprocessing issues? (no, I'm not planning to address them :-)) cheers Antoine.

> Add casts (one needed, one for consistency). FWIW, I feel that these casts are misguided. Having function pointer casts means that type errors in the signature get suppressed. E.g. people using such casts for tp_hash will be unable to detect the change in the tp_hash return type that we have implemented for 3.2. It would be better, IMO, if these casts get avoided everywhere, even if that means that the functions get a line longer. Regards, Martin

Goole Code-In Contest
by Michele Orrù 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

Hello. I'm a student under 18 years, who really like programming in python. Few days ago I've found Google Code-In contest<http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2010-11/faqs.html>, and I'm seriously considering it as a good opportunity do get more confident with Python. Although I've fixed a pair of bugs (see issue1100562 and issue9496), I'm still scared of breaking something and making silly things. So two days ago I've asked on #python-dev some infos about this contest, but nobody seemed to know if Python would have been a project in GCI, or give me any new information. Thanks to bitdancencer, I'm writing this mail, hoping some of you may consider this contest and give me the opportinity to be a better python developer.

Stable build slaves authority
by "Martin v. Löwis" 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

I have appointed Antoine Pitrou as the authority/manager for which build slave are considered stable. If you want to get a certain slave elevated or demoted, you have to convince him. I would also like to ask release managers to take the stable list serious: test failures in a stable slave should be considered as release blockers (demoting a slave to unstable may be a resolution, though). Of course, release managers can deliberately chose to ignore specific blockers, anyway. Regards, Martin

Well, my intention at least was that they should be documented and released; it's the documenting part I didn't get around to. ;-) Of course, this was also pre-importlib; were we starting the work today, the obvious thing to do would be to expose the Python implementations of the relevant objects. >That said, who knows when we'll actually have it done right, so in the >meantime maybe having an official workaround is better than nothing... > >Cheers, >Nick. > >-- >Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia >_______________________________________________ >Python-Dev mailing list >Python-Dev(a)python.org >http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev >Unsubscribe: >http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/pje%40telecommunity.com
