Remote access to Snakebite Windows boxes
by Trent Nelson 27 অক্টোবর, 2012

27 অক্টোবর, 2012

Just noticed some chatter on #python-dev earlier today regarding access to Windows boxes, and wanted to let you know the Snakebite Windows boxes are definitely available for remote login... ....sort of. Remote desktop login is a bit trickier than ssh as you need to enter the password for the cpython account. I have built the relevant gpg infrastructure to pipe account passwords to you via the existing ~/.snakebite stuff... it just needs a first-windows-remote-login guinea pig to tweak how everything works. So, if you want to be the guinea pig, ping me on #python-dev! (Or e-mail if my idle time on IRC seems excessive.) Trent.

New core developer
by Antoine Pitrou 17 অক্টোবর, 2012

Hello, I'd like to propose Serhiy Storchaka as a new core developer. He has made numerous contributions, and has proven receptive to comments and reviews. He's also interested in becoming a core developer. What do you think? Regards Antoine. -- Software development and contracting: http://pro.pitrou.net

Googler Python committers
by Eli Bendersky 17 অক্টোবর, 2012

Hello, I had the privilege of joining Google's Mountain View office yesterday, and was wondering who else from the core development team works there, or in Google in general (in addition to Guido, of course). It could be great to meet for lunch now and then and discuss issues of common interest. Eli

custom/sandbox repositories
by Chris Jerdonek 14 অক্টোবর, 2012

14 অক্টোবর, 2012

Antoine pointed out to me the possibility of using a custom repository for testing purposes: http://docs.python.org/devguide/buildbots.html#custom-builders Is the standard procedure for a developer to create and use their own sandbox repository under http://hg.python.org/sandbox/? Or should we use an existing sandbox repository (e.g. perhaps by creating a new head so as to decrease inteference)? Is the sandbox repository something we can create on our own, or do we need to request it? --Chris

3.3 branch created in main repository
by Georg Brandl 2 অক্টোবর, 2012

2 অক্টোবর, 2012

Hi all, from now on there is a 3.3 branch in the main repo. Until the last ordinary 3.2 bugfix release is done (which will be soon), the usual procedure for 3.x will be to check into 3.2, merge into 3.3, and then merge into default, except of course for a) fixes of 3.3-only features and b) trivial things like typos that you don't feel have to be in 3.2.4. default is now Python 3.4, and new features can be committed there. When the binaries are built and all the fiddling with the web servers is done, I'll announce the 3.3.0 release, and then go drink a large quantity of champagne [1]. cheers, Georg [1] If only I could afford it :)

FWIW, you can see a list of all such core developers using this URL: http://bugs.python.org/user?iscommitter=1&contrib_form=0&@action=search&@so… There are currently 35 without a contributor form (though I realize that many of them may not currently be active). --Chris
