Releases for recent security vulnerability
by Gustavo Narea April 17, 2011

April 17, 2011

Hi all, How come a description of how to exploit a security vulnerability comes before a release for said vulnerability? I'm talking about this: http://blog.python.org/2011/04/urllib-security-vulnerability-fixed.html My understanding is that the whole point of asking people not to report security vulnerability publicly was to allow time to release a fix. If developers haven't had enough time to release the fix, that's fine. But I can't think of a sensible reason why it should be announced … [View More]

http://docs.python.org/py3k/ pointing to 2.7
by Jesus Cea April 16, 2011

April 16, 2011

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 http://docs.python.org/py3k/ takes you to 2.7, by default. Should we update it to point to 3.2?. If the point is to promote Python 3... I would point it to 3.2, with a big "access to documentation to legacy 2.7" (beside the small left column link). What do you think?. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:jcea@jabber.org … [View More]

Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] cpython (merge 3.2 -> default): merge from 3.2.

I think you have the wrong issue #; that one has to do with string exceptions.

Hosting the Jython hg repo
by Philip Jenvey April 14, 2011

April 14, 2011

There's been some chatter in the past about moving some of Jython's infrastructure from SF.net to python.org. We're in the process of finishing the conversion of Jython's subversion repo to mercurial. Can we host our new repo on http://hg.python.org? To whom should I speak to about setting this up? The one question that comes to mind is how will repo write permissions be handled/shared between all our repos? With the recent policy of granting Jython committers cpython commit access if they … [View More]
