+zlib +---- + +The :mod:`zlib` extension is built using an included copy of the zlib +sources unless the zlib version found on the system is too old to be +used for the build:: Unless or if? Building with an included copy *if* the system one is too old makes sense to me, not the contrary. Am I not seeing something? Regards

That Server 2008 build slave runs the test suite as administrator, so it was running that test and going into the os.link block, which it didn't do until r86733. [View Less]

[Preview] Comments and change proposals on documentation
by Georg Brandl Dec. 1, 2010

Dec. 1, 2010

Hi, at <http://dpo.gbrandl.de/contents>, you can look at a version of the 3.2 docs that has the upcoming commenting feature. JavaScript is mandatory. I've switched on anonymous comments for testing, but usually at least comments from anonymous users can be moderated. Be sure to test the "propose a change" feature too. Login currently allows OpenID exclusively. Credits go to Jacob Mason, whose GSOC project is responsible for almost all of what you see there. [1] Please test on a … [View More]

python3k : imp.find_module raises SyntaxError
by Emile Anclin Dec. 1, 2010

Dec. 1, 2010

hello, working on Pylint, we have a lot of voluntary corrupted files to test Pylint behavior; for instance $ cat /home/emile/var/pylint/test/input/func_unknown_encoding.py # -*- coding: IBO-8859-1 -*- """ check correct unknown encoding declaration """ __revision__ = 'éééé' and we try to find that module : find_module('func_unknown_encoding', None). But python3 raises SyntaxError in that case ; it didn't raise SyntaxError on python2 nor does so on our func_nonascii_noencoding and … [View More]

PEP 291 versus Python 3
by Éric Araujo Nov. 30, 2010

Nov. 30, 2010

Good morning python-dev, PEP 291 (Backward Compatibility for Standard Library) does not seem to take Python 3 into account. Is this PEP only relevant for the 2.7 branch?* If it’s supposed to apply to 3.x too, despite the view that 3.0 was a clean break, what does it mean to have a module that is developed in the py3k branch and should retain compatibility with 2.3 or 1.5.2? * Tarek’s interpretation: “The 2.x needs to stay 2.3 compatible so we should keep the 3.x as similar as possible for … [View More]

[RELEASED] Python 3.1.3
by Benjamin Peterson Nov. 28, 2010

Nov. 28, 2010

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm happy as a lark to announce the third bugfix release for the Python 3.1 series, Python 3.1.3. This bug fix release features numerous bug fixes and documentation improvements over 3.1.2. The Python 3.1 version series 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 … [View More]
