Summer of Code: call for ideas and mentors
by "Martin v. Löwis" 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

Google Summer of Code is coming up again, and we will again be participating. Arc Riley will setup infrastructure later today, and we need to start thinking about possible projects. Traditionally, people (students and other projects) have been willing to give the Python Core the highest attention in SoC, as improvements to Python will help the whole community. Also traditionally, there has been a shortage of project ideas and mentors for Python Core. My guess is that the project shortage stems from the assumption that many of the projects are so tricky that you can't give them to a newcomer. I found this view both confirmed and rebutted in the past - it all depends on which students we can attract. The shortage of mentors is probably more inherent, and reflects the shortage of volunteers for other tasks. As a long-time mentor, I'd like to encourage all of you to consider mentoring this year. GSoC/PSF will have a strict rule "one student per mentor", co-mentorship is encouraged. Feel free to discuss Python-Core-GSoC here or on the GSoC mailing list(s) (soon to appear). One last cautioning: recently, people started proposing that admin tasks be done in GSoC. While that indeed may help python-dev most, they called it summer of *code* deliberately - so the project idea should be about programming (the hope being, of course, that the students stay in the project, or at least in open source, when the summer is over. some do, some don't.). Regards, Martin

hg mq workflow is broken (issue11450)
by Scott Dial 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

I wanted to draw attention to issue11450 [1]. In trying to using mq to work on patches for CPython, I found that I could no longer get regrtest to run. This issue comes down to the size of the output of "hg id -t ." being much longer than expected. $ hg qnew dummy-patch $ echo "/* dummy change */" >> Modules/getbuildinfo.c $ ./python -c 'import sys; print(sys.version)' 3.3a0 (dummy-patch qbase qtip tip:191f047a07b4+, Mar 9 ) [GCC 4.4.5] This is a showstopper for using mq and CPython, since you can no longer run regrtest because the platform module cannot parse that truncated string. -- Scott Dial scott(a)scottdial.com scodial(a)cs.indiana.edu

GSoC mentors: projects list is up
by "Martin v. Löwis" 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

If you want to see a project done in this year's GSoC, please add it to http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2011 Python 3 related projects are preferred. Students will look at this page for ideas what kinds of projects to propose; the earlier you add an idea, the more likely is it that you get good proposals from good students. Regards, Martin

combined hg incoming patch
by "Martin v. Löwis" 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

I'd like to experiment with adding Rietveld support for reviewing remote repositories. For that, I'd need to create a single patch (programmatically) that covers all incoming changes. 'hg incoming -p' mostly works, but it may provide multiple patches for a single file, which I think would harm the review (since some changes may be superseded in a separate patch). So I would need to compute the most recent revision in both repositories, and then create a diff between the default head of the remote repository and that base revision. Regards, Martin

small commit emails nit
by Benjamin Peterson 08 Mar '11

08 Mar '11

I wonder if we couldn't kill the "cpython" repo name in the commit mails. I find it wastes space for the commit message in the subject line, and it's pretty obvious it's the cpython repo from the branch name. -- Regards, Benjamin

"This patch fixes the first part of the issue." Ok, it has been removed. Only "closes" and derivatives trigger closing now. Regards Antoine.

Otherwise things like "this is priority #1" in commit messages will spam issue number 1 (assuming it exists). Also, I'm not sure trying to match too many verbs is useful. Things are clearer and more predictible if we mandate a single form, perhaps only at the last line of the commit message. We don't want false positives (such as messages about closed files, etc.).
