Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] cpython: improve license

by Barry Warsaw

Notice the subject line. Can we make commit messages contain the named branch that the change applies to? The 'cpython' in the header doesn't really tell me whether I should care about this diff or not. Say the change applied to 2.6 but I only care about Python 3. It would be nice if I could just delete this message without reading the body. I guess it's possible for change notifications to encompass multiple named branches though, right? I'm not sure what to do about that, but it seems like a less common use case. -Barry On Feb 26, 2011, at 07:05 PM, benjamin.peterson wrote: >benjamin.peterson pushed 0873fb83f1e2 to cpython: > >http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/0873fb83f1e2 >changeset: 68052:0873fb83f1e2 >tag: tip >user: Benjamin Peterson <benjamin(a)python.org> >date: Sat Feb 26 12:06:36 2011 -0600 >summary: > improve license > >files: > LICENSE

Why does TemporaryDirectory not wait for `__enter__`?

by cool-RR

Hello, I noticed that the `TemporaryDirectory` context manager creates the folder on `__init__` rather than on `__enter__`, resulting in complexity, bugs, and hackarounds in `__del__`. I assume there's a good reason for this decision. What is it? Thanks, Ram.

Feedback from the Mozilla and XEmacs folks at the time of that discussion suggested that EOL issues *were* a potential issue, and that having to revert unintentional commits of CRLF line endings was an annoyingly common problem.

Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] r88526 - in python/branches/release32-maint/Lib: collections.py test/test_collections.py

(I mean no disrespect, I just want to understand better what kind of changes can go in each type of branch.) Regards

PyEval_InitThreads() no longer safe before Py_Initialize() in 3.2

by Juraj Ivančić

It seems that PyEval_InitThreads() can no longer be called before Py_Initialize(). I get a fatal error in PyThreadState_GET(). This contradicts the documentation http://docs.python.org/release/3.2/c-api/init.html#PyEval_InitThreads Minimal repro: #include "Python.h" int main() { PyEval_InitThreads(); return 0; }

What's the effect of "closing" a branch in Mercurial? I can still commit to it, hg branches still shows it (but shows 3.2 as "inactive"???). How can I find out that the branch is closed?

> After migration > =============== > > +* set up automatic installation of changes to ssh keys, decide upon > + account managers I would like account managers to be decided before the conversion. I personally won't be available as an account manager anymore. The new account managers are then, of course, free to establish any workflow they deem appropriate. > +* adapt build identification for Windows build process I think this should also be done before the migration.

Ah, this reminds me. Figuring out what to do with the AST version should probably be a hg roadmap topic. -- Regards, Benjamin
