Multiprocessing maintenance
Hello everybody, Who is doing multiprocessing maintenance these days? I thought Ask Solem had been given commit privs for that, but I haven't seen any activity from him; and Jesse is, mostly, absent. Is anyone working on the multiprocessing issues? (no, I'm not planning to address them :-)) cheers Antoine.

You mean: actively feeling responsible for it? I guess nobody - as for many other modules in the standard library. Or do you mean: who is willing to work on it, in principle? The last committers are georg.brandl, gregory.p.smith, martin.v.loewis, and antoine.pitrou. Regards, Martin

Both. Originally the module is/was meant to be officially maintained by Jesse, as far as I understand. But bugs filed against multiprocessing have been lingering in the tracker for quite a long time. Regards Antoine.

I personally think we should treat these reports in the same way as all other lingering issues: explain to people that they need to submit patches if they want these issues fixed. Of course, this is then the same situation as with all the other patches that stay unreviewed (i.e. some get committed soon, some after some time, some never). Regards, Martin

Like Ask said, we both are, and still feel responsible. Finding time is another problem altogether, and it's been in short supply. In short: No, neither one of us has walked away. jesse

Hey! I do feel responsible, and I know Jesse do to. I'm working on multiprocessing issues every week, though not as much as I would like to. I have quite a few patches ready, some in the tracker, some not. My idea was to send those to Jesse last week for approval, but for work related reasons I didn't manage to prepare them in time. If you have anything you want me to look at please forward it, and if you already did then don't be afraid to nag me. -- {Ask Solem, +47 98435213 | twitter.com/asksol }.
If you have anything you want me to look at please forward it, and if you already did then don't be afraid to nag me.
Please keep the release schedule in mind. After 3.2b1, no new features can be accepted (until after the 3.2 release). So there might be some urgency for some of the patches. Also, submitting many small changes is preferred over patch bombs. So it might be better to start committing what is complete, rather than first completing all work in progress. Regards, Martin

Both Ask and myself feel actively responsible. Antoine could have just as easily asked privately.

Well, the question and its eventual answer were meant for public consumption, not for my personal edification. Thanks for answering anyway. We can then continue to put you and Ask in the nosy lists for multiprocessing issues. Regards Antoine.

I'm not pleased with the current state of affairs and I am working to change this. I apologize for the delay on the bugs.
