Code review for PEP 448
by Neil Girdhar 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hello all, PEP 448 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448/) is mostly implemented now based on some early implementations by twouters (in 2008) and fhahn (2013) and recently by Joshua and I. The issue tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue2292 has: * a working patch, and * discussion and updates to the PEP (the most conservative interpretations were taken). I was wondering if anyone would mind reviewing the patch or even just trying it out to let us know if there are any corner cases that we missed. (I need to get back to my actual work, so it would be good to have this reviewed before I forget everything if possible.) Thank you, Neil

Pronouncing on PEP 475 - last call
by Antoine Pitrou 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hello, As BDFL-delegate, I'd like to pronounce soon on PEP 475 - "Retry system calls failing with EINTR". I've just pushed some small rephrasings, which should appear soon (at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475/). There is a working implementation by Charles-François at http://bugs.python.org/issue23285. If you have anything to say, please chime in quick :-) Regards Antoine.

Why co_names? Wouldn't be simpler to just use co_consts?

Sorry if the question is naive, but why is co_names needed? Wouldn't be simpler to just use co_consts? Andrea

Pydoc Replacement for Python's help()?
by Cyd Haselton 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hello, I've finally managed to build a (somewhat) working Python port for the Android tablet I'm using. Unfortunately, as I quickly found out, Python's built-in help function requires tkinter, which requires tcl/tk. I did download the sources for tcl/tk and built tcl, but found out that tk requires XWindows libraries and includes. Long story short: Is there an alternative documentation system (i.e. epydoc) that does not have tkinter dependencies? If so, is there a parameter or env variable that would allow me to use it instead of pydoc? Thanks in advance, Cyd

if you can do this.... a chemical physics and element physics like everything from melting points to how much heat you need to add two chemicals together and physics like aerodynamics, space dynamics, and hydrodynamics etcetera for propellers and motors and stuff. just having this in a main language seems to make a shit ton of sense. Just like all the physics you can think of from electrical equipment to building microchips to oscillators and resistors and stuff like that. thanks

development
by Alan Armour 28 Jan '15

can you guys develop an audio kit that works around jackd or on windows directx? and tutorials to write synthesizers. and drum machines like a tr-606 with triggers ( I want to trigger a drum synth like the March UDS(Soviet).... Coolest drum synth EVER. Also, I think you should have a way to write assembler functions to really optimize speed and have a table and stuff for assembler learning for all cpus and stuff. even asm graphics and audio would be super useful in some instances. Thanks for your time -Ty

PEP 468 (Ordered kwargs)
by Maciej Fijalkowski 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hi I would like to point out that we implemented rhettingers idea in PyPy that makes all the dicts ordered by default and we don't have any adverse performance effects (in fact, there is quite significant memory saving coming from it). The measurments on CPython could be different, but in principle OrderedDict can be implemented as efficiently as normal dict. Writeup: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/2015/01/faster-more-memory-efficient-and-more.… Previous discussion: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-December/123028.html Cheers, fijal

Undefined reference to dlopen (was: Pydoc Replacement for Python's help()?)
by Skip Montanaro 27 Jan '15

Is this another topic? If so, please start another thread. People glancing at subjects won't recognize that you're now tackling a different problem. The modules you mention here (as well as pydoc) are all pure Python modules. I don't think any of them would have directly triggered a dlopen error. Do you have a traceback? Skip
