Python 2.6.3rc1
by Barry Warsaw 29 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2009

29 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2009

As previously announced, I'm planning on releasing 2.6.3rc1 tonight, at about 2230 UTC. Right now we have three release blockers, which I'm reviewing now (and Antoine just said on IRC that he's closing one of them now). http://bugs.python.org/issue?@columns=title,id,activity,versions,assignee&@… Please refrain from committing any changes to 2.6.3 from now until the release, unless they specifically close one of the blockers, or you contact me on #python-dev or by email first. I'll be imposing a hard- freeze on checkins at 2100 UTC today (5pm US/Eastern). After 2.6.3rc1 is out, please do not commit anything to that branch without checking with me first. I'll only accept brown-bag removing patches, and I want to have a stable tree by Thursday so that we can get Windows and Mac binaries built for Friday's release. Thanks! -Barry

Doug Hellmann

I would like to propose we give the commit bit to Doug Hellmann in order for him to help out with documentation and GHOP style tasks (he's helped in the past). You might know him from the "Python Module of the Week" series here: http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/ Many of his examples, and doc snippets have landed in our official documentation. I myself am working on pulling in his multiprocessing documents for mp's docs. I know Georg sounded positive on this (correct me if I wrong Georg) - he's a great, great doc writer and I think he could help out a lot. jesse

Re: [python-committers] Misc/NEWS entries added to released versions

Often the NEWS entry ends up being rewritten from the commit message to be more user-focussed description of the change...

We should just switch to Mercurial :) I've already hacked up a hg extension to automatically fill the commit message with the changes in a NEWS or CHANGELOG file. This works quite well -- you add the short but nice description to NEWS, do "hg commit", and the editor pops up where you can either accept the message consisting of only the changes in NEWS, or add some more stuff that's not interesting to users. cheers, Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@py...

This sounds like a better approach indeed. Antoine.

Misc/NEWS entries added to released versions
by Matthias Klose 14 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2009

14 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2009

While looking at the diffs between the 261 release tags and the 26 branch, I noticed many items in Misc/NEWS appearing in the 2.6.1 or even 2.6 sections. I moved all of these to 2.6.2, after checking some of them, and found all of the checked ones be backported after the 2.6.1 release. Is there anything what could be done to avoid these wrong merges? I plan to check the items on the 3.0 branch soon. Matthias

Adding a hidden field to BaseException going to break the ABI?
by Brett Cannon 13 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2009

13 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2009

issue6844 wants to stop a warning from being raised when someone accesses a 'message' attribute on an exception when it is set by the user (currently any usage of the 'message' attribute raises a warning). To do this properly is going to require some state flag on BaseException's struct. But I don't know if that constitutes breaking the ABI during a micro release or not. I figure no but I wanted to double-check. -Brett
