What's New text on future maintenance
by A.M. Kuchling May 10, 2010

May 10, 2010

FYI: I've just added the text below to the "What's New" document for 2.7. I wanted to describe how 2.7 will probably be maintained, but didn't want to write anything that sounded like an iron-clad guarantee of a maintenance timespan. Does this text seem like a reasonable set of statements? --amk Python 2.7 is intended to be the last major release in the 2.x series. Though more major releases have not been absolutely ruled out, the Python maintainers are planning to focus their efforts on … [View More]

Re: [Python-Dev] Running Clang 2.7's static analyzer over the code base
by Brett Cannon May 10, 2010

May 10, 2010

I'll just do a single entry saying that the static analyzer was used and not list the files. And in reply to Benjamin's question about the whitespace, I guess it actually doesn't matter. More important to clean up in py3k.

[RELEASED] Python 2.7 beta 2
by Benjamin Peterson May 9, 2010

May 9, 2010

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm elated to announce the second beta release of Python 2.7. Python 2.7 is scheduled (by Guido and Python-dev) to be the last major version in the 2.x series. 2.7 will have an extended period of bugfix maintenance. 2.7 includes many features that were first released in Python 3.1. The faster io module, the new nested with statement syntax, improved float repr, set literals, dictionary views, and the memoryview object have been backported from 3.1. … [View More]

Did I miss the decision to untabify all of the C code?
by Eric Smith May 9, 2010

May 9, 2010

It looks like we're moving ahead with removing tabs. Was there consensus on this? Last I saw Antoine had written a script that might do what we want, but hadn't been thoroughly tested. Now I've seen a few checkins for files that have been run through the script. What gives? And why do this so close to 2.7? I don't think it will cause any problems, but it's hard to review commits to ensure they have no changes when there's a rush of large commits near a release. Eric.

Parallel test execution on buildbot
by exarkun＠twistedmatrix.com May 9, 2010

May 9, 2010

Hi all, Has anyone considered using regrtest's -j option in the buildbot configuration to speed up the test runs? Antoine Pitrou pointed out that even for single CPU slaves, this could be a win due to the number of tests that spend time sleeping or waiting on I/O. And on slaves with multiple CPUs it would clearly be even better. eg, I don't know what hardware is actually in the Solaris slave (bot loewis-sun), but if it has the full 4 UltraSPARCs that it could, then running with -j4 or … [View More]

audience-instructors for Teach Me Python Bugfixing needed
by Catherine Devlin May 7, 2010

May 7, 2010

Hey, everybody... I'm Catherine, a database administrator who makes up excuses to write Python instead. I'm not actually here as a core developer, but as somebody who hopes to become a developer and recruit some more, which brings me to my question: Who lives close enough to Ohio to make it to PyOhio this summer? I want to use PyOhio to create new Python devs (including myself), but I need some existing ones to seed the process. I need a few veterans (3?) who can commit to come to PyOhio … [View More]
