[RELEASED] Python 3.2 rc 1
by Georg Brandl Jan. 17, 2011

Jan. 17, 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Python development team, I'm very happy to announce the first release candidate of Python 3.2. Python 3.2 is a continuation of the efforts to improve and stabilize the Python 3.x line. Since the final release of Python 2.7, the 2.x line will only receive bugfixes, and new features are developed for 3.x only. Since PEP 3003, the Moratorium on Language Changes, is in effect, there are no changes in Python's syntax and built-in … [View More]

os.ioprio_get() and os.ioprio_set()
by Giampaolo Rodolà Jan. 17, 2011

Jan. 17, 2011

I've recently implemented this functionality in psutil: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=147 If desired, I can contribute a patch for the os module, altough being such functions Linux-only, I'm not sure os module is the right place for them to land. Also, I've been thinking about this for quite a bit: would it be the case to add system-specific modules such as "linux" (and maybe also a "win32") to the standard library? --- Giampaolo http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/ http://code.google.com/p/psutil/

I want my sugar...
by Peter Hall Jan. 16, 2011

Jan. 16, 2011

I am a newbie to python, and am curious why the following syntax is not supported: # Boolean test on x... if (x = someFunc(...)): # Do something with x... I've found it convenient in perl. Is the syntax actually supported, and I'm ignorant? Is the usage considered 'unPythonic'? Can you point me to any existing discussion of the issue (it must have come up before?)? Thanks, Peter

Issue #4953 (cgi) closed: please test it as much as possible
by Victor Stinner Jan. 14, 2011

Jan. 14, 2011

Hi, I just closed issue #4953 just before Python 3.2 final: the CGI module should now handle correctly binary files and Unicode. I also patched urllib.parse.parse_qs() and urllib.parse.parse_qsl() to add encoding and errors arguments. Please test the CGI module (with Python 3.2) as much as possible, especially with WSGI. http://bugs.python.org/issue4953 Victor

Approach for constructing Global Variables for Python
by ali musa Jan. 14, 2011

Jan. 14, 2011

Hi All: I would like to propose a solution for a proper use of Global Variables. My assumption came from the fact that most databases are using share memory to construct on the main memory a complete block of their processes and resources. Construction a method for utilizing Global Variable using block concept for common block or sub-block that can be share in any module or main program (i.e. main application and their modules). The solution implemented in the attached paper … [View More]

Get current UTC offset in crossplatform way
by anatoly techtonik Jan. 14, 2011

Jan. 14, 2011

Hello, It is already 2011. I didn't monitor the issue closely, but judging by the face that http://bugs.python.org/issue9527 is still open, Python still doesn't have a method to extract current timezone information from system. Can anybody recap what are we going to do with that in Python 3? Probably related - http://bugs.python.org/issue762963 It is very cumbersome to work with distributed time data with plain Python. -- anatoly t.

Why? Are annotations being deprecated in general? Or are these particular annotations no longer accurate? -jJ On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 9:31 PM, raymond.hettinger <python-checkins(a)python.org> wrote: > Author: raymond.hettinger > Date: Thu Jan 13 03:31:25 2011 > New Revision: 87980 > > Log: > Issue 10899: Remove function type annotations from the stdlib > > Modified: > python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py > python/branches/py3k/… [View More]Lib/importlib/abc.py > > Modified: python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py > ============================================================================== > --- python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py (original) > +++ python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/_bootstrap.py Thu Jan 13 03:31:25 2011 > @@ -345,7 +345,7 @@ > > class SourceLoader(_LoaderBasics): > > - def path_mtime(self, path:str) -> int: > + def path_mtime(self, path): > """Optional method that returns the modification time for the specified > path. > > @@ -354,7 +354,7 @@ > """ > raise NotImplementedError > > - def set_data(self, path:str, data:bytes) -> None: > + def set_data(self, path, data): > """Optional method which writes data to a file path. > > Implementing this method allows for the writing of bytecode files. > > Modified: python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/abc.py > ============================================================================== > --- python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/abc.py (original) > +++ python/branches/py3k/Lib/importlib/abc.py Thu Jan 13 03:31:25 2011 > @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ > """Abstract base class for import loaders.""" > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def load_module(self, fullname:str) -> types.ModuleType: > + def load_module(self, fullname): > """Abstract method which when implemented should load a module.""" > raise NotImplementedError > > @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ > """Abstract base class for import finders.""" > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def find_module(self, fullname:str, path:[str]=None) -> Loader: > + def find_module(self, fullname, path=None): > """Abstract method which when implemented should find a module.""" > raise NotImplementedError > > @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ > """ > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def get_data(self, path:str) -> bytes: > + def get_data(self, path): > """Abstract method which when implemented should return the bytes for > the specified path.""" > raise NotImplementedError > @@ -63,19 +63,19 @@ > """ > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def is_package(self, fullname:str) -> bool: > + def is_package(self, fullname): > """Abstract method which when implemented should return whether the > module is a package.""" > raise NotImplementedError > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def get_code(self, fullname:str) -> types.CodeType: > + def get_code(self, fullname): > """Abstract method which when implemented should return the code object > for the module""" > raise NotImplementedError > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def get_source(self, fullname:str) -> str: > + def get_source(self, fullname): > """Abstract method which should return the source code for the > module.""" > raise NotImplementedError > @@ -94,7 +94,7 @@ > """ > > @abc.abstractmethod > - def get_filename(self, fullname:str) -> str: > + def get_filename(self, fullname): > """Abstract method which should return the value that __file__ is to be > set to.""" > raise NotImplementedError > @@ -117,11 +117,11 @@ > > """ > > - def path_mtime(self, path:str) -> int: > + def path_mtime(self, path): > """Return the modification time for the path.""" > raise NotImplementedError > > - def set_data(self, path:str, data:bytes) -> None: > + def set_data(self, path, data): > """Write the bytes to the path (if possible). > > Any needed intermediary directories are to be created.
