strange buildbot fail
by Eli Bendersky Feb. 25, 2011

Feb. 25, 2011

Hi, Earlier today I've committed revision 88554, and a bit later a buildbot failure message was received: Builder AMD64 Windows Server 2008 hg-3.x build #47 failed with failed test_import, blamelist having my name because I made the last commit (apparently). Two other buildbots succeeded building and testing after my commit, as did my local tests. Some examination of the failed test shows no apparent connection to my commit. What can be done in cases like this? How to investigate further? … [View More]

Re: [Python-Dev] [issue11286] Some "trivial" python 2.x pickles fails to load in Python 3.2
by Alexander Belopolsky Feb. 24, 2011

Feb. 24, 2011

It seems appropriate to consult python-dev on this. I thought ValueError was for values that are valid Python objects but out of acceptable range of the function. Errors that can only be triggered in C code normally handled with either assert() or raise SystemError. I think you are splitting hairs too thin by distinguishing between stdlib and 3rd party extensions.

[RELEASED] Python 3.2
by Georg Brandl Feb. 24, 2011

Feb. 24, 2011

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm delighted to announce Python 3.2 final release. 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 types in Python 3.2. Development efforts concentrated on the … [View More]

You're sure this will not cause tedious conflicts with backports?

Link to issue tracker
by Antoine Pitrou Feb. 24, 2011

Feb. 24, 2011

Hello, I think it was a slight mistake to remove the link to the issue tracker from the sidebar in the "core development" section. Dave Beazley just complained about it (http://twitter.com/dabeaz/status/40397577916661760) and I think it will probably confuse other people too. Could we add it back ? cheers Antoine.

Strange error importing a Pickle from 2.7 to 3.2
by Jesus Cea Feb. 24, 2011

Feb. 24, 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have 10MB pickled structure generated in Python 2.7. I only use basic types (no clases) like sets, dictionaries, lists, strings, etc. The pickle stores a lot of strings. Some of them should be "bytes", while other should be "unicode". My idea is to import ALL the strings as bytes in Python 3.2 and navigate the data structure to convert the appropiate values to unicode, in a one-time operation (I version the structure, so I can know if this … [View More]
