Location of tests for packages
by Raymond Hettinger Jan. 26, 2011

Jan. 26, 2011

Right now, the tests for the unittest package are under the package directory instead of Lib/test where we have most of the other tests. There are some other packages that do the same thing, each for their own reason. I think we should develop a strong preference for tests going under Lib/test unless there is a very compelling reason. We already have a similar preference for all Docs going under Doc/ and that has not proved to be an issue with any package maintainer. * The Windows distro … [View More]

Keeping __init__.py empty for Python packages used for module grouping.
by Raymond Hettinger Jan. 25, 2011

Jan. 25, 2011

Looking at http://docs.python.org/dev/library/html.html#module-html it would appear that we've created a new module with a single trivial function. In reality, there was already a python package, html, that served to group two loosely related modules, html.parser and html.entities. ISTM, that if we're going to use python packages as "namespace containers" for categorizing modules, then the top level __init__ namespace should be left empty. Before the placement of html.escape() becomes set in … [View More]

What's new 2.x in 3.x docs.
by Terry Reedy Jan. 24, 2011

Jan. 24, 2011

The 3.x docs mostly started fresh with 3.0. The major exception is the What's new section, which goes back to 2.0. The 2.x stuff comprises about 650KB in the repository and whatever that translates into in the distribution. I cannot imagine that anyone who only has 3.x and no 2.x version would have any interest in the 2.x history. And of course, the complete 2.x history will always be available with the latest 2.7.z. And the cover page for 3.x could even say so and include a link. So why … [View More]

Jan. 24, 2011

Hello I got the latest copy of python source from svn and was trying to build it on Windows Vista (32 bit) using Microsoft Visual Express 2008. I got the following error: 5>"C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\subwcrev.exe" .. ..\Modules\getbuildinfo.c "E:\coding\py3kclean\py3k\PCbuild\Win32-temp-Debug\pythoncore\\getbuildinfo2.c" 5>'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, Adding an extra set of quotes around the command seems to fix this.
