[Twisted-Python] Twisted 15.3.0 Prerelease 1 Announcement
by Amber "Hawkie" Brown 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

Hi everyone! Another Twisted release cycle dawns, and I bring you the first prerelease of Twisted 15.3. This release is characterised by cleanups and porting, with at least ten modules ported to Python 3, and the removal of Lore, Twisted's use of Hotshot, and various other smaller deprecated classes and functions. Twisted has also shed its usage of "subprojects" -- there is now only one Twisted (long may it reign). The tarball and the newsfile summarising all the changes can be downloaded from <http://twistedmatrix.com/Releases/pre/15.3.0pre1/>. Enjoy, and test! If no issues are found, 15.3 will be released sometime next week. Twisted Regards, Amber "Hawkie" Brown GPG: https://keybase.io/hawkowl

[Twisted-Python] Benchmarks 2.0
by Amber "Hawkie" Brown 23 Jul '15

23 Jul '15

Hi everyone, I'm going to be renovating http://speed.twistedmatrix.com/ soon. Because of the svn -> git migration, the historical data will be archived, so, if you're interested, I'd check it out now. The new Twisted Speedcenter will have Python 2.7, Python 3.4, and PyPy 2.5, all of the standard versions of Python on Ubuntu 15.04. The benchmarks that it will be running can be found at https://github.com/twisted-infra/twisted-benchmarks . Twisted Regards, Amber "Hawkie" Brown GPG: https://keybase.io/hawkowl

[Twisted-Python] New Buildbots -- Ubuntu 15.04 & Fedora 22
by Amber "Hawkie" Brown 18 Jul '15

18 Jul '15

Hi everyone, I've just set up two new pairs of bots -- Ubuntu 15.04 and Fedora 22. They will provide the following coverage: - Ubuntu 15.04 -- Python 2.7, PyPy 2.5.0, Python 3.4 - Fedora 22 -- Python 2.7, PyPy 2.4.0, Python 3.4 The Ubuntu 15.04 (Py2.7) builder is passing and has moved to supported, while the Fedora 22 (Py2.7) builder has failing tests (see them at https://buildbot.twistedmatrix.com/builders/fedora22-py2.7/builds/0 ). PyPy on both platforms fails, and are unsupported builders. Python 3.4 builds for each will be set up soon. These new builders also have their dependencies installed by virtualenv, so the versions of the dependencies are now more controllable and should be kept up to date as new versions of them are released.

[Twisted-Python] Proposed compat policy change in regards to unmaintained upstream dependencies
by Amber "Hawkie" Brown 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hi, Since it's been coming up recently, I'm proposing a change to the compat policy, where removing the use of unmaintained/unsupported upstream dependencies is an automatic exception. This was brought up by Glyph in https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5137#comment:11 -- hotshot is broken, unsupported, and unmaintained, and removing something that doesn't work in the first place should be able to be done automatically. This was also the case with PyPAM -- it didn't even seemingly exist, so the Twisted support code couldn't work at all. So, this email is to get general comment on the scope and possibility of such a change. I believe it would be a worthwhile addition to the policy.

[Twisted-Python] INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: Removing hotshot from twistd's profiler support
by Amber "Hawkie" Brown 08 Jul '15

08 Jul '15

Hotshot is completely broke, and it doesn't exist in Python 3. It is currently the default for twistd and since it doesn't work, we should just sidestep the deprecation cycle and remove it, changing the default to something useful. The ticket with the changes are available on https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/5137 . The branch attached to it removes HotshotProfiler and amends the default to be cProfile, which is the most useful for users. In accordance with the policy (https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/CompatibilityPolicy#ProcedureforExcepti…), this will remain unmerged for at least a week, and requires three signoffs by committers.

[Twisted-Python] Porting twisted.spread.banana to py3
by Jørn Lomax 04 Jul '15

04 Jul '15

I'm a gsoc student working on the buildbot project, porting it to py3. Part of this is looking at porting the dependencies buildbot has in twisted and try to port them. twisted.spread is the most used twisted dependency, so I have started working on this. I started working on banana.py and I have encountered a question. In dataRecieved (banana.py:174). A chunk is added to the buffer. On python3, how should the distinction be made between string and bytes. Buffer seems to be a string, the chunk seems to be bytes, and sometimes opposite. Any help would be appreciated regards, Jørn Lomax
