version numbers mismatched in google search results.
by Vincent Davis 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

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 python 2.7.6 2. itertools - Python 3.3.3 documentation<http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html> 1. links to http://docs.python.org/library/itertools.html 2. redirects to http://docs.python.org/2/library/itertools.html 3. Which is again 2.7.6 3. 8.3. collections — Container datatypes - Python 3.3.3 documentation<http://docs.python.org/dev/library/collections> 1. This one seems correct, 3.40b2 2. links to http://docs.python.org/dev/library/collections The link to addresses are not really true, they look more like: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved… Vincent Davis

[RELEASED] Python 3.3.4 release candidate 1
by Georg Brandl 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Python development team, I'm reasonably happy to announce the Python 3.3.4 release candidate 1. Python 3.3.4 includes several security fixes and over 120 bug fixes compared to the Python 3.3.3 release. This release fully supports OS X 10.9 Mavericks. In particular, this release fixes an issue that could cause previous versions of Python to crash when typing in interactive mode on OS X 10.9. Python 3.3 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, as well as easier porting between 2.x and 3.x. In total, almost 500 API items are new or improved in Python 3.3. For a more extensive list of changes in the 3.3 series, see http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.3.html and for the detailed changelog of 3.3.4, see http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/changelog.html To download Python 3.3.4 rc1 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.4/ This is a preview release, please report any bugs to http://bugs.python.org/ The final version is scheduled to be released in two weeks' time, on or about the 10th of February. Enjoy! - -- Georg Brandl, Release Manager georg at python.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.3's contributors) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlLmDI4ACgkQN9GcIYhpnLAr6wCePRbHF80k5goV4RUDBA5FfkwF rLUAnRg0RpL/b6apv+Dt2/sgnUd3hTPA =Z4Ss -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

weird docstring generated by argument clinic
by Stefan Behnel 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

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 argument clinic changes, but properly copied it over to the (IIRC) "__signature__" attribute. However, the recent change now lead to the above being dumped into the docstring. Could someone please quickly explain what the purpose of the first line is and why it says "None" at the end? Is there anything we should do on our side in order to fix this? Since many of our users embed their signatures for documentation purposes (it was the only way to make them visible in previous CPython versions and is supported by several tools, e.g. epydoc), this is a rather annoying result for them.

Python 3.4, marshal dumps slower (version 3 protocol)
by Wolfgang 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

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 time from marshal import dumps def genData(amount=500000): for i in range(amount): yield (i, i+2, i*2, (i+1,i+4,i,4), "my string template %s" % i, 1.01*i, True) data = list(genData()) print(len(data)) t0 = time() result = dumps(data, 2) t1 = time() print("duration p2: %f" % (t1-t0)) t0 = time() result = dumps(data, 3) t1 = time() print("duration p3: %f" % (t1-t0)) Is the overhead for the recursion detection so high ? Note this happens only if there is a tuple in the tuple of the datalist. Regards, Wolfgang

"Exclusive control some of the time" is not the same thing as "exclusive control".

That seems like added complexity for little gain - note that we can make the *test runner* smart about how it handles doc-only patches, by just checking the docs build and skipping the test run.

[RELEASED] Python 3.4.0b3
by Larry Hastings 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

On behalf of the Python development team, I'm quite pleased to announce the third beta release of Python 3.4. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. Python 3.4 includes a range of improvements of the 3.x series, including hundreds of small improvements and bug fixes. Major new features and changes in the 3.4 release series include: * PEP 428, a "pathlib" module providing object-oriented filesystem paths * PEP 435, a standardized "enum" module * PEP 436, a build enhancement that will help generate introspection information for builtins * PEP 442, improved semantics for object finalization * PEP 443, adding single-dispatch generic functions to the standard library * PEP 445, a new C API for implementing custom memory allocators * PEP 446, changing file descriptors to not be inherited by default in subprocesses * PEP 450, a new "statistics" module * PEP 451, standardizing module metadata for Python's module import system * PEP 453, a bundled installer for the *pip* package manager * PEP 454, a new "tracemalloc" module for tracing Python memory allocations * PEP 456, a new hash algorithm for Python strings and binary data * PEP 3154, a new and improved protocol for pickled objects * PEP 3156, a new "asyncio" module, a new framework for asynchronous I/O Python 3.4 is now in "feature freeze", meaning that no new features will be added. The final release is projected for mid-March 2014. To download Python 3.4.0b3 visit: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.0/ Please consider trying Python 3.4.0b3 with your code and reporting any new issues you notice to: http://bugs.python.org/ Enjoy! -- Larry Hastings, Release Manager larry at hastings.org (on behalf of the entire python-dev team and 3.4's contributors)

The Argument Clinic Derby is drawing to a close
by Larry Hastings 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

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 that all patches, whether they've been posted yet or not, conform to the new conversion policy for the Derby: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2014-January/132066.html Thanks for participating! //arry/
