Hi, Ned Deily closed old bugs reported on the macOS Tiger buildbot, since this buildbot has been retired 3 months ago (the builders are still visible online, but last builds were 3 months ago). It seems like the oldest macOS buildbot is now macOS El Capitan (macOS 10.11, 2015). Does it mean that the minimum officially supported macOS version is now macOS 10.11 El Capitain? For me, to get an official "full" support, we need a buildbot. Without buildbot, we can only provide a weaker "best-effort" support. Otherwise, the risk of regression is too high. I failed to find any official and obvious list of CPython supported platforms, so I wrote my own list: http://vstinner.readthedocs.io/cpython.html#supported-platforms My first motivation for this list was to get a simple list of supported Windows versions, because I'm unable to follow Windows lifecycle (the PEP 11 has a vague statement about Windows which requires to follow Windows end of life for each Windows release).

Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 574 (pickle 5) implementation and backport available

by Matthew Rocklin

Hi all, I agree that compression is often a good idea when moving serialized objects around on a network, but for what it's worth I as a library author would always set compress=False and then handle it myself as a separate step. There are a few reasons for this: 1. Bandwidth is often pretty good, especially intra-node, on high performance networks, or on decent modern discs (NVMe) 2. I often use different compression technologies in different situations. LZ4 is a great all-around default, but often snappy, blosc, or z-standrad are better suited. This depends strongly on the characteristics of the data. 3. Very often data often isn't compressible, or is already in some compressed form, such as in images, and so compressing only hurts you. In general, my thought is that compression is a complex topic with enough intricaces that setting a single sane default that works 70+% of the time probably isn't possible (at least not with the applications that I get exposed to). Instead of baking a particular method into pickle.dumps I would recommend trying to solve this problem through documentation, pointing users to the various compression libraries within the broader Python ecosystem, and perhaps pointing to one of the many blogposts that discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Best, -matt

PEP 574 (pickle 5) implementation and backport available

by Antoine Pitrou

Hi, While PEP 574 (pickle protocol 5 with out-of-band data) is still in draft status, I've made available an implementation in branch "pickle5" in my GitHub fork of CPython: https://github.com/pitrou/cpython/tree/pickle5 Also I've published an experimental backport on PyPI, for Python 3.6 and 3.7. This should help people play with the new API and features without having to compile Python: https://pypi.org/project/pickle5/ Any feedback is welcome. Regards Antoine.

"make test" routinely fails to terminate

by Skip Montanaro

On the 3.7 branch, "make test" routinely fails to terminate. (Pretty vanilla Ubuntu 17.10 running on a Dell Laptop. Nothing esoteric at all) Lately, it's been one of the multiprocessing tests. After a long while (~2000 seconds), I kill it, then it complains many times about lack of a valid_signals attribute in the signal module: ====================================================================== ERROR: test_remove_signal_handler_error2 (test.test_asyncio.test_unix_events.SelectorEventLoopSignalTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/skip/src/python/cpython/Lib/unittest/mock.py", line 1191, in patched return func(*args, **keywargs) File "/home/skip/src/python/cpython/Lib/test/test_asyncio/test_unix_events.py", line 219, in test_remove_signal_handler_error2 m_signal.valid_signals = signal.valid_signals AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'valid_signals' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 1967 tests in 36.058s FAILED (errors=362, skipped=11) test test_asyncio failed /home/skip/src/python/cpython/Lib/asyncio/base_events.py:605: ResourceWarning: unclosed event loop <_UnixSelectorEventLoop running=False closed=False debug=False> source=self) Re-running test 'test_signal' in verbose mode then reruns test_signal in verbose mode.

FINAL WEEK FOR 3.7.0 CHANGES!

by Ned Deily

This is it! We are down to THE FINAL WEEK for 3.7.0! Please get your feature fixes, bug fixes, and documentation updates in before 2018-05-21 ~23:59 Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12:00). That's about 7 days from now. We will then tag and produce the 3.7.0 release candidate. Our goal continues been to be to have no changes between the release candidate and final; AFTER NEXT WEEK'S RC1, CHANGES APPLIED TO THE 3.7 BRANCH WILL BE RELEASED IN 3.7.1. Please double-check that there are no critical problems outstanding and that documentation for new features in 3.7 is complete (including NEWS and What's New items), and that 3.7 is getting exposure and tested with our various platorms and third-party distributions and applications. Those of us who are participating in the development sprints at PyCon US 2018 here in Cleveland can feel the excitement building as we work through the remaining issues, including completing the "What's New in 3.7" document and final feature documentation. (We wish you could all be here.) As noted before, the ABI for 3.7.0 was frozen as of 3.7.0b3. You should now be treating the 3.7 branch as if it were already released and in maintenance mode. That means you should only push the kinds of changes that are appropriate for a maintenance release: non-ABI-changing bug and feature fixes and documentation updates. If you find a problem that requires an ABI-altering or other significant user-facing change (for example, something likely to introduce an incompatibility with existing users' code or require rebuilding of user extension modules), please make sure to set the b.p.o issue to "release blocker" priority and describe there why you feel the change is necessary. If you are reviewing PRs for 3.7 (and please do!), be on the lookout for and flag potential incompatibilities (we've all made them). Thanks again for all of your hard work towards making 3.7.0 yet another great release - coming to a website near you on 06-15! Release Managerly Yours, --Ned https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0537/ -- Ned Deily nad(a)python.org -- []

PEP: 576 Title: Rationalize Built-in function classes

by mark

Hi, At the language summit this year, there was some discussion of PEP 575. I wanted to simplify the PEP, but rather than modify that PEP, Nick Coghlan encouraged me to write an alternative PEP instead. PEP 576 aims to fulfill the same goals as PEP 575, but with fewer changes and to be fully backwards compatible. The PEP can be viewed here: https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0576.rst Cheers, Mark. P.S. I'm happy to have discussion of this PEP take place via GitHub, rather than the mailing list, but I thought I would follow the conventional route for now.

My fork lacks a 3.7 branch - can I create it somehow?

by Skip Montanaro

My GitHub fork of the cpython repo was made awhile ago, before a 3.7 branch was created. I have no remotes/origin/3.7. Is there some way to create it from remotes/upstream/3.7? I asked on GitHub's help forums. The only recommendation was to to delete my fork and recreate it. That seemed kind of drastic, and I will do it if that's really the only way, but this seems like functionality Git and/or GitHub probably supports. Thx, Skip

Re: [Python-Dev] PEP: 576 Title: Rationalize Built-in function classes

by Jeroen Demeyer

For the record: the only reason that I replied on GitHub was because the proposal was not yet posted (as far as I know) to any mailing list. Typically, a post is made to a mailing list more or less at the same time as creating the PEP. In this case, there was a delay of a few days, maybe also because of unrelated issues with the compilation of the PEPs.

Procedure for adding new public C API

by Serhiy Storchaka

Please don't forgot to perform the following steps when add a new public C API: * Document it in Doc/c-api/. * Add an entry in the What's New document. * Add it in Doc/data/refcounts.dat. * Add it in PC/python3.def. If you want to include it in the limited API, wrap its declaration with: #if !defined(Py_LIMITED_API) || Py_LIMITED_API+0 >= 0x03080000 #endif (use the correct Python version of introducing a feature in the comparison) If you don't want to include it in the limited API, wrap its declaration with: #ifndef Py_LIMITED_API #endif You are free of adding private C API, but its name should start with _Py or _PY and its declaration should be wrapped with: #ifndef Py_LIMITED_API #endif
