Anyone want to lead the sprints at PyCon US 2016?
by Brett Cannon 06 May '16

06 May '16

The call has started to go out for sprint groups to list themselves online. Anyone want to specifically lead the core sprint this year? If no one specifically does then I will sign us up and do my usual thing of pointing people at the devguide and encourage people to ask questions but not do a lot of hand-holding (I'm expecting to be busy either working on GitHub migration stuff or doing other things that I have been neglecting due to my GitHub migration work). ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ewa Jodlowska <ewa(a)python.org> Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2016 at 07:14 Subject: [PSF-Community] Sprinting at PyCon US 2016 To: <psf-community(a)python.org> Are you coming to PyCon US? Have you thought about sprinting? The coding Sprints are the hidden gem of PyCon, up to 4 days (June 2-5) of coding with many Python projects and their maintainers. And if you're coming to PyCon, taking part in the Sprints is easy! You don’t need to change your registration* to join the Sprints. There’s no additional registration fee, and you even get lunch. You do need to cover the additional lodging and other meals, but that’s it. If you’ve booked a room through the PyCon registration system, you'll need to contact the registration team at pycon2016(a)cteusa.com as soon as possible to request the extra nights. The sprinting itself (along with lunch every day) is free, so your only expenses are your room and other meals. If you're interested in what projects will be sprinting, just keep an eye on the sprints page on the PyCon web site at https://us.pycon.org/2016/community/sprints/ Be sure to check back, as groups are being added all the time. If you haven't sprinted before, or if you just need to brush up on sprinting tools and techniques, there will again be an 'Intro to Sprinting' session the evening of June 1, lead by Shauna Gordon-McKeon and other members of Python community. To grab a free ticket for this session, just visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/introduction-to-open-source-the-pycon-sprints-… . *Please note that conference registration is sold out, but you do not need a conference registration to come to the Sprints. _______________________________________________ PSF-Community mailing list PSF-Community(a)python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/psf-community

Yearly PyPI breakage
by Stefan Krah 06 May '16

06 May '16

Hello, Could someone enlighten me which hoops I have to jump through this year in order to keep pip downloads working? Collecting cdecimal Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement cdecimal (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for cdecimal You are using pip version 7.1.2, however version 8.1.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command. If this continues, I'm going to release a premium version that's 50% faster and only available from bytereef.org or Anaconda. Stefan Krah

2.7.12 schedule
by Benjamin Peterson 06 May '16

06 May '16

I have been reminded that we are due for a 2.7.12 release. I think Larry's 3.5.2 schedule is perfectly cromulent and am going to piggyback. Therefore, 2.7.12rc1 will be on June 11th, and the final will be on June 25. Servus, Benjamin

What I would have preferred is a FreeBSD-like ports system. FreeBSD has been used in huge and secure installations, so the I don't buy the reliability and security arguments that are used in favor of centralization. But centralization seems to be a goal in and of itself these days (and that isn't limited to Python). > nor with the PSF regarding the current Terms of Service > around uploads to PyPI, but that doesn't make it OK to start off-topic > threads on python-dev just because you're a CPython core developer in > addition to being a PyPI user. Alexander thought otherwise: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2015-October/141840.html "Given that ensurepip is part of stdlib, I am not sure this is an accurate statement. Even if it was, did you make any effort to discuss the proposal outside of a small group subscribed to distutils ML?" I completely agree with that. Fredrik Lundh is also affected (and might not have received any mail, same as me): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PIL > It *definitely* doesn't make it OK to accuse people of conspiring > against you when they answer your question in good faith, just because > their answer is the official distutils-sig/PyPA one (which was > approved through the PEP process in PEP 470). I'm not sure what you are referring to. Donald posted a link to PEP 470, in my response to Nathaniel I acknowledged this. In my exchange with Łukasz we both came to the conclusion (I think) that further discussion would be futile. IMO all responses from Brett, Donald, Nathaniel and Łukasz were reasonable and I haven't accused them of conspiring in the slightest. I see that the PEP was accepted by Paul Moore. I couldn't even dream of accusing Paul Moore of any kind of conspiracy. He's one of the most reasonable (and *genuinely* polite) people on these mailing lists. Or are you referring to a super-condescending flame bait where someone cloned a private website, assumed general ignorance and then proceeded to offer a hostile fork to anyone who would be interested? Well, I accepted the flame bait. > - writing to psf-legal to let them know whether or not Van Lindberg's > draft updates to the Terms of Service would be sufficient to make you > comfortable with uploading cdecimal to PyPI in addition to bundling it > with the standard library under your existing Contributor Licensing > Agreement: https://bitbucket.org/vanl/pypi/src/default/templates Okay, so there was recent progress here. This is actual news to me. Do you remember what kind of derision I went through for just suggesting something like that a couple of years ago? Yes, you supported me, but what about the others? Or that Van Lindberg was in the merry group of Twitter heroes who were gloating about the fact that (in their opinion) I could not do anything about the first hostile fork? Technically, he didn't gloat, but suddenly legal advice was apparently readily available. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/m3-cdecimal I can assure you that CoCs or "diversity statements" won't help you at all.

Restore functions pickling
by Всеволод Величко 04 May '16

Hello, I was recently porting my application from Py2 to Py3 and encountered error, when I accidentally became unable to define my own pickling mechanism for functions. Before that I was using it to pickle pure lambdas, registering my own handler for cPickle with copy_reg, but after [1] (and release 3.4) it seems that feature has been removed. As it mentioned in commit message, this was done for compatibility with pure-python pickle. So I have to ask, may be it would be better to revert the commit and add the corresponding feature to pure-python pickle implementation? [1] https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/6bd1f0a27e8e -- Best wishes, Vsevolod Velichko

Bug in 2to3 concerning import statements?
by Greg Ewing 01 May '16

01 May '16

It seems that 2to3 is a bit simplistic when it comes to translating import statements. I have a module GUI.py2exe containing: import py2exe.mf as modulefinder 2to3 translates this into: from . import py2exe.mf as modulefinder which is a syntax error. It looks like 2to3 is getting confused by the fact that there is both a submodule and a top-level module here called py2exe. But the original can only be an absolute import because it has a dot in it, so 2to3 shouldn't be translating it into a relative one. Putting "from __future__ import absolute_import" at the top fixes it, but I shouldn't have to do that, should I? -- Greg
