bitwise operations for bytes and bytearray
by Blake Griffith Jan. 10, 2016

Jan. 10, 2016

Hi! I'm interested in adding the functionality to do something like: >>> b'a' ^ b'b' b'\x03' Instead of the good ol' TypeError. I think both bytes and bytearray should support all the bitwise operations. I've never hacked on cpython before. I'm starting by just trying to add xor to bytearray. I have a ByteArray_Xor function that I think should do this here https://github.com/cowlicks/cpython/commit/d6dddb11cdb33032b39dcb9dfdaa7b10… But I'm not sure how to hook this in to the … [View More]

Branches in which to fix the SSL tests
by Martin Panter Jan. 8, 2016

Jan. 8, 2016

Currently some SSL tests in the test suite are broken by a recent certificate change at https://svn.python.org/; see <https://bugs.python.org/issue25940> for the bug report. The tests are broken when the test suite is run with the “-unetwork” option enabled, and most of the buildbots appear to be affected. (In 3.6 the tests have temporarily been disabled as a workaround.) I have a simple patch that subsitutes the old root certificate for the new which I would like to commit, but I’m not … [View More]

PEP 9 - plaintext PEP format - is officially deprecated
by Barry Warsaw Jan. 5, 2016

Jan. 5, 2016

I don't think this will be at all controversial. Brett suggested, and there was no disagreement from the PEP editors, that plain text PEPs be deprecated. reStructuredText is clearly a better format, and all recent PEP submissions have been in reST for a while now anyway. I am therefore withdrawing[*] PEP 9 and have made other appropriate changes to make it clear that only PEP 12 format is acceptable going forward. The PEP editors will not be converting the legacy PEPs to reST, nor will we … [View More]

zipimport.c broken with implicit namespace packages
by mike.romberg＠comcast.net Jan. 4, 2016

Jan. 4, 2016

BRIEF INTRODUCTION: I've been using python since the early 1.X releases. Mostly for application development. On occasion I've contributed bits to the core: > grep Romberg Misc/ACKS Mike Romberg I've recently ported a large application to python3 (it started life as using 1.1 so it has been a long road for this codebase). The one big killer feature of python3 I'm attempting to use is implicit namespace packages. But they are broken with the zipimport.c module. It seems that … [View More]

PEP 257 and __init__
by Facundo Batista Jan. 4, 2016

Jan. 4, 2016

Hola! (I was doubting in sending this mail to this list or to the normal one, but as it affects a "style recommendation" we propose for the whole community, I finally sent it here) I was reading PEP 257 and it says that all public methods from a class (including __init__) should have a docstring. Why __init__? It's behaviour is well defined (inits the instance), and the initialization parameters should be described in the class' docstring itself, right? Or I am missing something? Should … [View More]
