Anders, you're already started with this, correct? How far along did you get? Laura

There are four new version control systems that sound interesting to me: * BitKeeper http://www.bitkeeper.com/ The most mature of the four (?). Not fully free software, although I think it is freely usable for open source projects. * Subversion http://subversion.tigris.org/ Also relatively mature. * Arch http://www.regexps.com/arch.html There is a nice comparison between arch and subversion somewhere on that site. * OpenCM http://www.opencm.org/ The least mature of the four, but the one with the most impressive intellectual provenance. I don't really know what the tradeoffs are among these four. Personally, I'm continuing to use CVS for everything for now. Regards, Zooko http://mnet.sf.net/

What is the timer granularity in twisted? Is it possible to have subsecond event timers in Delayed or am I limited to integer seconds? J

[Twisted-Python] Async generators

Thought this might interest some of you: http://effbot.org/zone/asyncore-generators.htm """Instead of passing events to callbacks, pass information to a single handle function (a generator) via instance attributes. When the handler needs more data from the network, use yield to pass control back to the asyncore dispatcher.""" -- :(){ :|:&};:

[Twisted-Python] Copyright problems -- kill 'em while they are small
by Moshe Zadka 14 Sep '02

14 Sep '02

admin/PyFontify.py does not have a license. Under copyright law, that means it is illegal to distribute it. While I would think that this presents a problem to the Twisted Release Team, I am in no position to make decisions here. However, for Debian, I distribute the source package along with the binary, and I'm responsible for its contents. Currently, that would mean I cannot upload .2, until it is either resolved or I resort to hacks (that is, repackaging with PyFontify removed). Please resolve this problem. Since this file is in the Python CVS, it might be wise to ask the PYthon Debian maintainer for help. Thanks.
