how do you find out what version of Python a PEP landed in?
by Chris Withers May 18, 2011

May 18, 2011

Hi All, A friend of mine is coming over to Python and asked a question I thought would have a better answer than it appears to: How do I know which version of Python a PEP lands in? I was expecting there to be a note at the bottom of the PEP, 342 in this case, but that doesn't appear to be the case. What is the policy on this? Where should we be looking? cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Batch Processing & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

"packaging" merge imminent
by Tarek Ziadé May 18, 2011

May 18, 2011

Hello I am about to merge packaging in the stdlib, and we will continue our work there :) The impact is: - addition of Lib/packaging - addition of test/test_packaging.py - changes in Lib/sysconfig.py - addition of Lib/sysconfig.cfg For the last one, I would like to make sure again that everyone is ok with having a .cfg file added in the Lib/ directory. If not, we need to discuss how to do this differently. == purpose of sysconfig.cfg == The sysconfig.cfg file is a ini-like file that … [View More]

Inconsistent case in directory names for installed Python on Windows
by anatoly techtonik May 18, 2011

May 18, 2011

Greetings, While studying `virtualenv` code I've noticed that in Python directory tree `include`, `libs` and `tcl` are lowercased while other dirs are capitalized. It doesn't seem important (especially for developers here), but it still can leave an unpleasant image for people new to Python (and programming in general). ├[Python27] │ ├─DLLs │ ├─Doc │ ├─include │ ├─Lib │ ├─libs │ ├─Scripts │ ├─tcl │ └─Tools How about making a consistent lowercased or uppercased scheme? Windows filesystems are … [View More]

Bug in json (the format and the module)
by Jeremy Dunck May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

This blog post describes a bug in a common usage pattern of JSON: http://timelessrepo.com/json-isnt-a-javascript-subset That is, there are some characters which are legal in JSON serializations, but not in JavaScript strings. This works OK for JSON parsers, but a common use case of JSON is JSONP, where the result of a request is presumed to be executable javascript: <script src="http://someapi.com/jsonp?callback=foo"> might return a response: foo({"some_json":"which might or might … [View More]

Success x86 XP-4 2.7 buildbot without any log and should be a failure
by Victor Stinner May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hi, I broke recently all tests of CJK encodings (#12057) in Python 2.7 (sorry, it is now fixed). But the "x86 XP-4 2.7" buildbot is green, I don't understand how (the bug was not fixed in the build 894): http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/all/builders/x86%20XP-4%202.7/builds/894 This build doesn't contain any log.

Updated version of PEP-0397 - Python launcher for Windows.
by Mark Hammond May 17, 2011

May 17, 2011

Hi all, I've updated PEP-0397 to try and address some of the comments from the last draft. I've checked the new version into hg, so you can find a full diff there, but the key items I've changed are: * Spelled out the "version qualifier" rules for the shebang lines. * Spelled out some customization options, both for fine-tuning the specific Python version selected and for supporting other Python implementations via "custom" commands. * Indicated the launcher is not supported at all on … [View More]
