They have no specific use case. I just added this because it made sense abstractly. I can remove this from my PEP to simplify it.

PEP 575 (Unifying function/method classes) update
by Jeroen Demeyer May 14, 2018

May 14, 2018

Hello all, I have updated PEP 575 in response to some posts on this mailing list and to some discussions in person with the core Cython developers. See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0575/ The main differences with respect to the previous version are: * "builtin_function" was renamed to "cfunction". Since we are changing the name anyway, "cfunction" looked like a better choice because the word "built-in" typically refers to things from the builtins module. * defined_function now only defines an API (it must support all attributes that a Python function has) without specifying the implementation. * The "Two-phase Implementation" proposal for better backwards compatibility has been expanded and now offers 100% backwards compatibility for the classes and for the inspect functions. Jeroen.

bpo-33257: seeking advice & approval on the course of action
by Ivan Pozdeev May 14, 2018

May 14, 2018

The bottom line is: Tkinter is currently broken -- as in, it's not thread-safe (in both Py2 and Py3) despite being designed and advertizing itself as such. All the fix options require some redesign of either `_tkinter', or some of the core as well. So, I'd like to get some kind of core team's feedback and/or approval before pursuing any of them. The options are outlined in https://bugs.python.org/issue33257#msg316087 . If anyone of you is in Moscow, we can meet up and discuss this in a more time-efficient manner. -- Regards, Ivan

The PR adds additional CPU instructions and changes memory access pattern in a critical path of CPython. There is no reason to add additional overhead for the majority of users or X86 and X86_64 architectures. The memcpy() call should only be used on architectures that do not support unaligned memory access. See comment https://bugs.python.org/issue28055#msg276257 At least for latest GCC, the change seems to be fine. GCC emits the same assembly code for X86_64 before and after your change. Did you check the output on other CPU architectures as well as clang and MSVC, too? Christian

Bugs Migration to OpenShift
by Mark Mangoba May 13, 2018

May 13, 2018

Hi All, We’re planning to finish up the bugs.python.org migration to Red Hat OpenShift by May 14th (US Pycon Sprints). For the most part everything will stay same, with the exception of cleaning up some old URL’s and redirects from the previous hosting provider: Upfront Software. We will post a more concrete timeline here by May 1st, but wanted to share this exciting news to move bugs.python.org into a more stable and optimal state. Thank you all for your patience and feedback. A special thanks to Maciej Szulik and Red Hat for helping the PSF with this project. Best regards, Mark -- Mark Mangoba | PSF IT Manager | Python Software Foundation | mmangoba(a)python.org | python.org | Infrastructure Staff: infrastructure-staff(a)python.org | GPG: 2DE4 D92B 739C 649B EBB8 CCF6 DC05 E024 5F4C A0D1

PEP 554 - strange random boldface
by Steve Holden May 13, 2018

May 13, 2018

Does anyone know why some lines in the tables of https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0554/ appear in bold when the markup doesn't seem to call for it? I can't find a way to stop this, and it's bugging me! regards Steve

PEP 572 and f-strings
by Eric V. Smith May 12, 2018

May 12, 2018

I don't think it matters to its acceptance, but PEP 572 should at least mention that the := syntax means that you cannot use assignment expressions in f-strings. As I wrote in a python-ideas email, f'{x:=4}' already has a defined meaning (even if no one is using it). Eric

As an example of how the new functionality of PEP 575 can be used, I changed functools.lru_cache to implement the _lru_cache_wrapper class as subclass of base_function. I added this to the reference implementation https://github.com/jdemeyer/cpython/tree/pep575
