What is the licensing on the decorator code snippets found here
http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecoratorLibrary?

The site says GPL, but I wasn't sure if that was the site itself or the
actual code itself.

Thanks!

The license clause is attached to MoinMoin wiki software, the code pieces
is a content and are not affected. GPL clause can be removed. It is not
needed (as the /moin/ prefix in the URL).

Although the remark about the GPL applying to the MoinMoin software is 
correct, and thus the content is not GPL-licensed, this doesn't mean that the 
content is actually licensed in any explicit way whatsoever. In other 
words, "removing" the GPL (or actually not applying it to the content in the 
first place) doesn't give anyone any right to do anything with the content 
other than to use it on the Python Wiki itself.

This is an unfortunate situation that was never resolved because I seem to 
remember some people regarding the unclear licensing as somehow being 
beneficial - the only benefit I can think of is that people perhaps don't 
spam the Internet with advertising-laden clones of the Python Wiki, but maybe 
these exist anyway - and so any content submitted to the Wiki is taking a 
one-way trip there.

One could track down the authors of any pages to get their permission for 
further redistribution and use of their contributions, but no attempt has 
been made to do this in general.

I think it is fair to put non-HomePage wiki content to CC0 / Public Domain
unless specified otherwise. If you want to preserve your rights - go
publish the content in your blog and supply a link. Tracking down authors
is a useless activity - nobody will do this, so I'd not make things more
complicated for contributors and users. Wiki is for sharing, not for
placing restrictions on each other.

I agree that if you're contributing stuff to some site where the obvious 
intention is to share things with others, you probably shouldn't expect to 
restrict how that content is used, especially if those contributions involve 
editing other people's work, but the lack of any explicit licensing terms 
means that we can't just apply CC0 to what we already have.

I don't think that it would be too difficult to get people to agree to 
relicensing, but I was just saying that nobody seemed to think it was worth 
doing in the first place. Personally, I do think it is worth it if we are to 
regard the content as useful or valuable, and if Justin wants to use the 
decorators content in some other context, I encourage him to at least 
consider that approach for that page before giving up.

I think we all agree informally about the aspect of sharing, but we obviously 
have to assume that someone perhaps only contributed to the Wiki because they 
only wanted their edits to live there and never be used in any other context. 
This is why Wiki deployments often feature licensing statements when people 
edit pages, so that people know what they're agreeing to.

The daunting task of tracking down contributors would probably start with the 
info page for the page in question:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDecorators?action=info

Some of those edits will be effectively "null" because they will have been 
reverted. This leaves us with around 30 or so contributors, some of whom may 
be difficult to reach because they may not have much to do with Python any 
more and may decide to ignore any correspondence.

I personally think that a prominent campaign to relicense the content would 
probably take a lot of the effort out of chasing up contributors, but it 
wouldn't eliminate the problem, and it obviously doesn't help you in your 
current situation, unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply guys, I'll pass this on to the powers that be, but it
sounds like this is prob a dead end.

Are we able to track down the original authors?  Is it worth sending a mass
email out to those who've edited this wiki page to get an OK for a fully
free license?  I agree, why post code to the world if you don't want anyone
to use it.

Thanks!

Sorry, please just add the Sprints one - the O&E one needs more work
before we publicise it further.

Hopefully with a patch.  I have no intention of figuring out how to appease

Looking at that link, my preference would be to use this URL instead:

Not sure about that change... after all we call the Python run-time
the "interpreter" and having the ability to interpret Python
commands at run-time is a major feature in Python - unlike
e.g. C which doesn't support this out of the box.

Something that we should add to that description is the word
"open-source", e.g.

"...and is free, open-source and comprehensively ported."

It is not clear that Python is a scripting language if this part is removed.

Neither the Wikipedia page nor our own "About" page mention interpreted
anymore.  And the "interactive" part covers your point.  So I've gone
ahead and made the change.

"interactive" part covers IPython. It is not associated with "bytecode that
gets interpreted as machine instruction". So, how is the Python as a
language different from Java now? Other than dynamic vs typing?

Hey folks,

I just tried to hit this page:
  http://wiki.python.org/psf/Membership%20Map%20March%202013

And as I saw the notice at the top, I remembered the discussions
around the attack.

However, I can't seem to recall the user name/email combo that was on
record (I no longer have the machine that I did the last time I
accessed the python wiki site, so I can't check old cookies).

What's the best way to get this info?

Possible user names: oubiwann Oubiwann DuncanMcGreggor
Possible email addresses: oubiwann at adytum.us duncan at adytum.us
oubiwann at cogitat.io duncan at cogitat.io oubiwann at twistedmatrix.com
duncan.mcgreggor at gmail.com ... and maybe some others?

Thanks for any help you can provide, and sorry about the hassle :-(

Hello,

We're getting a fair amount of spam on the Python Wiki. Can someone with 
administrative privileges check that the textcha feature is enabled and has 
been given a set of effective questions?

Thanks,

Paul

We've been seeing the same development on the Jython wiki. I guess
they just realized that the Python wiki will likely get them
even more Google juice:

http://wiki.python.org/jython/RecentChanges

Unfortunately, the wiki spam appears to from real humans,
so textchas don't really help much.

I've also checked IP ranges, but it doesn't help either.

Of course, ideas as welcome :-)

We may end up having to require people to take some extra step
in order to open an account on the wikis. Unfortunately, that
makes it harder for non-spam wiki editors to sign up as well.

I can add new textchas, if you like. Please send them directly
to me. Alternatively, it'd probably be a good idea to get you
access to the wiki VM, so you can edit them directly.

You can see that it is enabled by visiting this link:

(make sure you are logged out)

As for the questions, I'm open to suggestions.

Maybe block using some blacklists (we're using sbl.spamhaus.org) using
mod-spamhaus or similar modules.

Do they have RBLs for wikis ? I thought they only do email blacklisting.

Their website appears to be down at the moment. I'll check again
later.

I don't think "How many words are in this question?" is really setting the bar 
very high for spammers. Textcha questions are supposed to retain the context 
of the site on which they are placed so that bulk spamming cannot just scrape 
the question and serve it up to someone on some other site. This means that 
we should be asking Python-related questions, not simple "Are you human?" 
questions that ceased to be effective about ten years ago.

I've had success with Akismet:

Not that hard to wire in for a blog, maybe the same could be done for 
wiki edits?

Not out of the box, at least to my knowledge, but I have written an extension 
that puts edits in an approval queue for each page if the contributor is not 
part of the approved contributor group.

That said, just asking more sophisticated textcha questions will mostly take 
care of this problem, as we saw with this Wiki before.

As part of the PyCon sprints I would like to move python.org off dinsdale to a VM at OSL. Due to the build system being tied to SVN, I'll also migrate that service on the same VM. Do any SVN repos other than www/ need to remain available? This would require at least some period of not changing the website, probably a few hours, but I don't think that would be a problem. This is mostly a legacy move so I'm not going to clean it up much, we'll have a new site soon enough.

Not that I'm aware of.  As Benjamin noted, all RMs will need upload access and
it would be great to get a CNAME that won't change (anything will do) since
we'll need to update PEP 101 and probably the release script.

The repos with public interfaces:

http://svn.python.org/view/

will need to remain available to keep old links in e.g.
bug reports working.

Okay, thats just a single repo ("projects") which is the default one. The packages repo is also visible but I'm okay with breaking that given how most code has been removed in the current trunk and links are rare (thats the old home for the PyPI code and related stuffs). Are we okay with that projects repo being full read-only?

Looking at the page, there are some checkins which are only
a few months old, so I'm not sure whether those can be
made read-only, e.g. external/ or sandbox/

Releases for older Python versions are still done from SVN,
but those should be rare nowadays.

It's probably better to ask on python-dev or the lists used
by the projects.

external/ holds snapshots of 3rd-party libs (OpenSSL, etc.) that are
used for e.g. Windows builds and doc builds.

OTOH, "old links in bug reports" don't need SVN to work, they are mapped
onto a conversion Web service in hg.python.org: e.g.
http://hg.python.org/lookup/r12345

Reimar is currently running a test on the Jython wiki. He marked
"http" as bad content, which results in all edits including that
word to get rejected.

At least on the Jython wiki, this has apparently stopped the spam
pages from getting created:

http://wiki.python.org/jython/RecentChanges

It's not a permanent solution, though, since it prevents adding
links to pages.

Thanks to both of you for configuring the wiki and improving the textcha 
questions. This makes it a lot easier and more rewarding to keep maintaining 
the wiki content.

I don't know. I found myself run out of patience typing those new long
phrases.
Users with editing history should not suffer. Is it complicated to find a
place in
MoinMoin to insert a check of len(user.edits) > 5 for textcha display and
validation?

The experiment has resulted in the spam being stopped. Unfortunately,
it also prohibited any edits of pages with links on them - even
by regular wiki users.

I've removed the http again and will add a new set of textchas
for now.

The only way to disable textchas is by adding the user name to
an editor wiki group.

If we can't get things under control, we will have to start
using such a group and disable public editing of pages :-(

Within a few minutes of removing the "http", the spam started
rolling in again.

I hope the new textchas will raise the bar a bit.

In order to protect our wikis against excessive spam, we are using
textchas (short questions and answers) which users have to answer
before they can commit their changes or sign up to the sites.

I found that short Python snippet work well, since they require
domain knowledge that you cannot simply look up in Wikipedia, e.g.
"l = [1,2,3]; del l[1]; l[0] ==".

Would be great if you could send me some more ideas for such
textchas (please don't post the answers to this list; just
posting the questions is fine).

PS: Please make sure that the questions work in both
Python 2 and 3 and produce the same or at least similar
answers.

Thanks,

FWIW, we've long had this policy on the Mailman wiki.  It was the only
successful way to control spam.  Sign up is open (and yes, we occasionally

Subject: [pydotorg-www] EMFS Radiation penetrating living space
Message-ID: <3ZX9wD5prFzSP0@mail.python.org>

Human frendly products 

Why? Because you probably want what most people want:


To challenge aging and health problems 
Protect yourself from Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) and Smart Meters 
Enjoy feeling well again 

The Facts: 
You have less energy 
Every day you are exposed to number of EMFs (?BAD ENERGY?) in addition to Smart Meters 
Your body is weaker than it should be (although you think that it is normal for your age) 
You have some health problems (like all of us) 

Another scary fact - geomagnetic fields are collapsing and young people are having the same health problems as our older generation. 


Why are we so unhealthy?


We have low energy 
A low immune system 
And we are constantly exposed to EMFs (?BAD ENERGY?) 

Electro Magnetic Fields are one of the most hidden issues critically affecting our health; both man-made and natural EMFs. 

Our extremely weak geomagnetic shield has a very significant impact on our health by not being able to protect us effectively from cosmic radiation. This radiation penetrates our living space including our homes! Our body?s defense system fights the EMFs thinking that they are intruders, like a virus or bacteria. This fight drains energy from us. So the combination of a weak geomagnetic shield and low energy leaves our body weak and unable to absorb vitamins, minerals and nutrition. 

Our body is designed to thrive in a much stronger geomagnetic field. 
4000 years ago geomagnetic field was 10x stronger as in the year 2000. 
Today it is 20x weaker than the year 2000. 
So in total it is 200x weaker than 4000 years ago (2000 BC). 

These factors affect everyone; no one is immune to this global concern. 


Look around you, health problems are everywhere. Advanced technology, science and progress in medicine are not helping our weak nation. Statistics shows health problems increasing exponentially every year. 

Our weaker body makes us more vulnerable to viral and bacterial attacks. Recovery is longer than we expect and not as effective. 
Do you think that we are aging faster than we should? 
Do you feel like you are constantly overworked and tired? 
Do your children have behavior problems? 
Are your children sick often? 


This list of health problems have been recently introduced to society in the last 100 years: 

Symptoms like: problems with Conception, Asthma, Eczema, Sinus Infections, Ear Infections, Sleeping Disorders, Stress, chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Adrenaline Syndrome, Acne, Bronchitis, Snoring, Nervousness, Headaches, Migraines, Allergies, Psoriasis, Cystic Fibrosis, Arthritis, Cough, Depression, Emphysema, Low Immune System and many more? 

The truth is you do not need to suffer so much. Many problems can be improved. Allow us to explain what can be done. 

Visit www.microalpha.com for more information, feel free to send us an email with your questions. Most likely you can recover from your health problems like a number of people using our products. 


Our products counteract collapsing geomagnetic field having a negative impact on the human body. 
Our products are designed to protect against even the strongest EMFs. 
?BAD? energy (from EMFs) is neutralized by our products supporting body?s defense system. 
You can regenerate efficiently energy. Your body will be stronger. 
Now you can challenge your health problems and get the most out of life. 


Do not forget about your kids (ADD, ADHD, Autism, luck of immunity, problems with concentration, learning difficulties, etc.)!

Did this have an effect on the number of editors of the wiki ?

The usual complaint when doing this is that you prevent quick
edits (e.g. typo corrections) by raising the bar in this way.

After the recent updates to the textchas, the profile spam
has apparently stopped:

    http://wiki.python.org/jython/RecentChanges

So perhaps making the textchas a little more complicated and also
starting a process to accept people to the trusted editor group
would solve the problem.

It probably did, but it's hard to gauge.  It's not like we had a ton of
non-spam editors previously.  We never denied anybody write access if they
asked though.

>The usual complaint when doing this is that you prevent quick
>edits (e.g. typo corrections) by raising the bar in this way.

Yep.  Unfortunately, it was taking way too much of our time weeding out the
spam, so before the policy, our wiki was arguably less useful.

FYI: We've enabled the load balancer for wiki.python.org now. This has the
nice side-effect that the wikis can now all be accessed via the HTTPS
link.

At the moment this is still in a test phase. Once we're confident that
things work fine, we'll switch on the redirect from the HTTP to the
HTTPS URL to make logins more secure.

If you find problems, please let me know.

Rather bizarre - both links work now.? However the visualpython.org domain appears to have been lost to a data agregator selling adspace. My apology.

It happens. If both links are meant to point to the same interpreter, you
can kill the one that doesn't work.

Hi all, apologies for the x-post,

Could someone please help me retire the catalog-sig? I'm about to notify
all current members, telling them to subscribe to the distutils-sig if they
wish to. I believe the references to the catalog-sig are on:

http://www.python.org/community/sigs/
http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/

and it needs to be moved to:

http://www.python.org/community/sigs/retired/

I will update all PEPs that have Discussions-To set to the catalog-sig.

Does deleting the mailing list remove the archives? I wouldn't want that to
happen.

I've figured how to disable most things to do with subscription so now all
I need really is that the SIG be moved from the current list to the retired
list. The relevant PEPs have also been updated.

I'm working on updating the web site.  If you need me, see if I'm in
#psf on freenode.

Done.  http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/catalog-sig/ still
works; the site-build software isn't smart enough to remove it.
(Someone with access to www.python.org could manually find and remove
that directory.)

Thanks! BTW, I'm only listed as (co-)admin for catalog-sig - I would be
happy to also (co-)admin distutils-sig.
