One main purpose of the beta period is to discover and fix bugs and otherwise tweek behavior in the new features included in the first beta. This usually presupposes that the feature is thought to be 'ready-to-go' as-is, absent new discoveries. Interpretation and issuance of exceptions is usually up to the release manager. For 3.8, this is Łukasz Langa, Victor Stinner is otherwise most involved with platform support. FWIW, I personally might allow 'suppport added by beta 1' to include failures in up to 4 modules to be fixed as bugs as soon as possible. On 3/19/2019 1:39 PM, Victor Stinner wrote:

You have to find someone to review your PRs. It takes time. We are all volunteers. I looked and merged some VxWorks PRs.

Would it be possible to pay a core dev to do the reviews? That's an open question for core devs and for WindRiver.

I think that this is an excellent idea (as in 'likely needed to meet the deadline'). (And no, I am not a candidate for the contract.) -- Terry Jan Reedy

Hi, Brett: Thanks for your comments. Yes, we want to submit more fixes on test_failures of stardard library after 3.8.0 beta1. Expect those can be accepted and get merged☺☺ Thanks, Peixing From: Brett Cannon [mailto:brett@python.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 2:42 AM To: Xin, Peixing Cc: python-dev@python.org Subject: Re: [Python-Dev] Can I submit more support of standard library for VxWorks after 3.8.0 beta1?

For VxWorks RTOS platform supporting CPython, we are using bpo-31904(https://bugs.python.org/issue31904) for PRs to submit our codes. Now I want to know whether we can add more standard library support for VxWorks AFTER 3.8.0 beta1? If the question is whether we as core devs will merge PRs that extend support in the stdlib, that will be up to the release manager. Since it technically isn't a feature enhancement but a "bugfix" for VxWorks then it will probably come down to what changes are required. -Brett [cid:image001.png@01D4DF27.C517FFF0] Thanks, Peixing _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.orgmailto:Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/brett%40python.org
