version numbers mismatched in google search results.
by Vincent Davis Jan. 31, 2014

Jan. 31, 2014

When I do a google search the version numbers are mismatched with the linked page (or redirected). For example search for "python counter" I get the following results. (see attachment) It seems like the website is redirecting incorrectly. 1. collections - Python 3.3.3 documentation<http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html> 1. links to http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html 2. redirects to http://docs.python.org/2/library/collections.html 3. Which is … [View More]

weird docstring generated by argument clinic
by Stefan Behnel Jan. 30, 2014

Jan. 30, 2014

Hi, for two days now, the signature embedding tests in Cython have been failing with this (doctest) error: """ Expected: f_D(long double D) -> long double Got: f_DNone f_D(long double D) -> long double """ https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/job/cython-devel-tests/1869/AR… The first line that Cython writes into the docstring is the "expected" one above. So far, all CPython versions have ignored it, Py3.4 then started picking it up at some point due to the … [View More]

Python 3.4, marshal dumps slower (version 3 protocol)
by Wolfgang Jan. 29, 2014

Jan. 29, 2014

Hi, I tested the latest beta from 3.4 (b3) and noticed there is a new marshal protocol version 3. The documentation is a little silent about the new features, not going into detail. I've run a performance test with the new protocol version and noticed the new version is two times slower in serialization than version 2. I tested it with a simple value tuple in a list (500000 elements). Nothing special. (happens only if the tuple contains also a tuple) Copy of the test code: from time import … [View More]

The Argument Clinic Derby is drawing to a close
by Larry Hastings Jan. 27, 2014

Jan. 27, 2014

The first release candidate of Python 3.4 will be tagged in about two weeks. We need to be completely done with the Derby by then. And it's going to take a while to review and iterate on the patches we've got. Therefore: I'm going to stop accepting submissions for new patches in two days. Patches posted to the issue tracker on or after Wednesday Jan 29 at 12:00:01am will not be accepted. If you have a patch you're still working on, you have until then to get it in. Please make sure … [View More]
