A panel with Guido/python-dev on scientific uses and Python 3 at Google HQ, March 2nd
by Fernando Perez Feb. 21, 2012

Feb. 21, 2012

Hi all, I wanted to point out to you folks, and invite any of you who could make it in person, to a panel discussion we'll be having on Friday March 2nd, at 3pm, during the PyData workshop that will take place at Google's headquarters in Mountain View: http://pydataworkshop.eventbrite.com The PyData workshop is organized by several developers coming from the numerical/scientific side of the Python world, and we thought this would be a good opportunity, both timing- and logistics-wise, … [View More]for a discussion with as many Python developers as possible. The upcoming Python 3.3 release, the lifting of the language moratorium, the gradual (but slow) uptake of Python 3 in science, the continued and increasing growth of Python as a tool in scientific research and education, etc, are all good reasons for thinking this could be a productive discussion. This is the thread on the Numpy mailing list where we've had some back-and- forth about ideas: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2012-February/060437.html Guido has already agreed to participate, and a number of developers for 'core' scientific Python projects will be present at the panel, including: - Travis Oliphant, Peter Wang, Mark Wiebe, Stefan van der Walt (Numpy, Scipy) - John Hunter (Matplotlib) - Fernando Perez, Brian Granger, Min Ragan-Kelley (IPython) - Dag Sverre Seljebotn (Numpy, Cython) It would be great if as many core Python developers for whom a Bay Area Friday afternoon drive to Mountain View is feasible could attend. Those of you already at Google will hopefully all make it, of course :) We hope this discussion will be a good start for interesting developments that require dialog between the 'science crowd' and python-dev. Several of us will also be available at PyCon 2012, so if there's interest we can organize an informal follow-up/BoF on this topic the next week at PyCon. Please forward this information to anyone you think might be interested (I'll be posting in a second to the Bay Piggies list). If you are not a Googler nor already registered for PyData, but would like to attend, please let me know by emailing me at: fernando.perez(a)berkeley.edu We have room for a few extra people (in addition to PyData attendees) for this particular meeting, and we'll do our best to accomodate you. Please let me know if you're a core python committer in your message. I'd like to thank Google for their hospitality in hosting us for PyData, and Guido for his willingness to take part in this discussion. I hope it will be a productive one for all involved. Best, f [View Less]

What do you want me to discuss at PyCon's keynote?
by Guido van Rossum Feb. 21, 2012

Feb. 21, 2012

I'm starting to think about my annual PyCon keynote. I don't want it to be just a feel-good motivational speech (I'm no good at those), nor a dry "state of the Python union" talk (I'm bored with those), but I'd like to hear what Python users care about. I've created a Google+ post for feedback: https://plus.google.com/u/0/115212051037621986145/posts/P8XZ5Zxvpxk Post your questions as comments there, or vote on others' questions using your +1 button.

hash randomization in the 2.6 branch
by Barry Warsaw Feb. 21, 2012

Feb. 21, 2012

I've just committed a back port of issue 13703, the hash randomization patch, to the Python 2.6 branch. I have left the forward porting of this to Python 2.7 to Benjamin. test_json will fail with randomization enabled since there is a sort order dependency in the __init__.py doctest. I'm not going to fix this (it can't be fixed in the same way 2.7 can), but I'd gladly accept a patch if it's not too nasty. If not, then it doesn't bother me because we previously agreed that it is not a … [View More]
