Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] peps: add stub for wheel spec
by Brett Cannon Sept. 21, 2012

Sept. 21, 2012

We don't put stubs of PEPs into the repository, especially when they have not been vetted on python-ideas or some other public mailing list that is appropriate for the subject. You also mis-capitalized PyPy in this commit.

Memoryviews should expose the underlying memory address
by David Beazley Sept. 21, 2012

Sept. 21, 2012

I have recently been experimenting with the memoryview() built-in and have come to believe that it really needs to expose the 'buf' attribute of the underlying Py_buffer structure as an integer (see PEP 3118). Let me explain. The whole point of PEP 3118 (as I understand it) is to provide a means for exchanging or sharing array data across different libraries such as numpy, PIL, ctypes, Cython, etc. If you're working with Py_buffer objects at the C level, this works fine. However, if you're … [View More]

TypeError: f() missing 1 required positional argument: 'x'
by Mark Dickinson Sept. 20, 2012

Sept. 20, 2012

I suspect I've missed the boat on this one (certainly for 3.3.0), but here goes. The new TypeError reporting for bad function calls is a huge improvement (thanks Benjamin!), but I have one small nitpick: what *is* a positional argument? For example: >>> def f(x): pass ... >>> f() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: f() missing 1 required positional argument: 'x' I think it's confusing to … [View More]

Python 1.5 output file versions
by Ido Yohanan Sept. 19, 2012

Sept. 19, 2012

Hi, I am working with PYTHON 1.5 and want to control versions of every pyo file. Is there any way I can assign a file version to every pyo file without writing a variable inside every py file that holds it? Thanks a lot, Ido

Does anyone know with which dbm lib this is (gdbm, ndbm, gdbm_compat, bdb)? Regards -- Ross Lagerwall

Edits to Metadata 1.2 to add extras (optional dependencies)
by Daniel Holth Sept. 14, 2012

Sept. 14, 2012

I've drafted some edits to Metadata 1.2 with valuable feedback from distutils-sig (special thanks to Erik Bray), which seems to have no more comments on the issue after about 6 weeks. Let me know if you have an opinion, or if you will have one during some bounded time in the future. Metadata 1.2 (PEP 345), a non-final PEP that has been adopted by approximately 10 of the latest sdists from pypy, cannot represent the setuptools "extras" (optional dependencies) feature. This is a problem because … [View More]
