Hi All,
Earlier this morning I had a slight tackle with a couple of the
3.4
bots
(sorry everyone!). I fixed some problems in asdl.py - http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/21d46e3ae60c - and used the
'with'
statement. Some bots don't have Python 2.6+ and couldn't bootstrap Python-ast.h/c
Two questions:
- Should I always check-in Python-ast.h and Python-ast.c when I
touch
asdl* ? The generated files are unchanged, it's only the timestamp that changed.
- Can we, in theory, use new Pythons for asdl* code, because
Python-ast.* are, in fact, checked in so they don't have to be rebuilt by the
bots
or
users?
We should have the buildbots run "make touch", so they don't need to run asdl_c.py.
How should we go about doing this?
Complain to Antoine I suppose. :)
[+ Antoine] Done :)
"make touch"? Wow, I'm learning new stuff everyday :-)
(what point is there in adding things to Makefile if nobody knows about them?)
The devguide would be a good place to mention this. http://bugs.python.org/issue15964 tracked the task for a while, but I'm not sure what the status is.
