Python 3.4.2rc1 Mac OS X
by Carol Willing 24 Sep '14

24 Sep '14

To all who contributed to Mac OS X improvements: Thank you! I downloaded and installed last night on Mavericks 10.9. It was quick, straightforward, and completed in seconds. For contrast, I talked several new users at an Intro to Python workshop this past weekend how to install 3.4.1; it took about 5 minutes to guide each user through installing 3.4.1. The new 3.4.2rc1 installer is a *big* improvement. It also seems as if launching the interpreter from the command line is also faster now :) -- *Carol Willing* Developer | Willing Consulting +1 760 456 9366 | https://willingconsulting.com

[RELEASE] Python 3.4.2rc1 is now available
by Larry Hastings 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.4 release team, I'm chuffed to announce the availability of Python 3.4.2rc1. Python 3.4.2 has many bugfixes and other small improvements over 3.4.1. One new feature for Mac OS X users: the OS X installers are now distributed as signed installer package files compatible with the OS X Gatekeeper security feature. You can download it here: https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.2 Be seeing you, //arry/

web-sig mailing list moderating every post?
by Robert Collins 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

I'm not sure of the right place to bring this up - I tried to on the web-sig list itself, but the moderator rejected the post. What I tried to post there was """Looks like *every* post to web-sig gets manually moderated. That seems like it will make discussion rather hard: can we get that changed (or is there some historical need for it - if so, perhaps we should use python-dev or some other list) ?""" -Rob -- Robert Collins <rbtcollins(a)hp.com> Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud

Adding numbering to PEP 20, the Zen of Python
by Ben Hoyt 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

I was emailing someone today about implementing something (for PEP 471, as it happens) and wanted to link to the Zen of Python [1] and note a particular clause (in this case "If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea."). However, there are no clause numbers, so you can't refer to specific phrases. I know it's a short enough document that it probably doesn't matter. And maybe numbering them would make it less Zen. Would be handy in code reviews and the like, for example: "Not very Pythonic. See PEP 20 point 5." Is it just my pedantic self, or have others wanted to do this too?

Multilingual programming article on the Red Hat Developer blog
by Nick Coghlan 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Since it may come in handy when discussing "Why was Python 3 necessary?" with folks, I wanted to point out that my article on the transition to multilingual programming has now been reposted on the Red Hat developer blog: http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/09/09/transition-to-multilingual-progr… I wouldn't normally bring the Red Hat brand into an upstream discussion like that, but this myth that Python 3 is killing the language, and that Python 2 could have continued as a viable development platform indefinitely "if only Guido and the core development team hadn't decided to go ahead and create Python 3", is just plain wrong, and it really needs to die. I'm hoping that borrowing a bit of Red Hat's enterprise credibility will finally get people to understand that we really do have some idea what we're doing, which is why most of our redistributors and many of our key users are helping to push the migration forward, while we also continue to support existing Python 2 users :) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
