Hello all,
PyCon, and the Python Language Summit, is nearly upon us. We have a good number of people confirmed to attend. If you are intending to
come to
the language summit but haven't let me know please do so.
The agenda of topics for discussion so far includes the following:
* A report on pypy status - Maciej and Armin * Jython and IronPython status reports - Dino / Frank * Packaging (Doug Hellmann and Monty Taylor at least) * Cleaning up interpreter initialisation (both in hopes of finding areas to rationalise and hence speed things up, as well as making things more embedding friendly). Nick Coghlan * Adding new async capabilities to the standard library (Guido) * cffi and the standard library - Maciej * flufl.enum and the standard library - Barry Warsaw * The argument clinic - Larry Hastings
If you have other items you'd like to discuss please let me know and I can add them to the agenda.
May I in absentia propose at least a short discussion of the XML fixes and accompanying security releases? FWIW, for 3.2 and 3.3 I have no objections to secure-by-default.
Sure. It would be good if someone who *will* be there can champion the discussion.
While Christian is in the best position to discuss this, I did review his various monkeypatch fixes + expat patches so I can attempt to answer any questions people may have.
How close are they to being applied?
I have no idea. Ask Christian. =) I can just answer what the attacks are and what had to change to protect against them.
