Commit rights for Robert Collins
by Michael Foord 9 অক্টোবর, 2014

9 অক্টোবর, 2014

Hello all, Robert Collins is volunteering to help with maintenance and improvement of unittest. He's probably known to many of you, but Robert is the creator of subunit, testtools and many Python libraries particularly in the area of testing. I'd like Robert to have commit rights for this purpose. He's already submitted quite a few fixes and patches. Most recently issue 16662. http://bugs.python.org/issue16662 Robert is an experienced and accomplished Python developer, so won't need much mentoring beyond learning our development processes (which branches to merge to, when a bug fix can be backported etc). In as much as he needs any mentoring I'm more than happy to work with Robert. Improvements to unittest, and design discussions around new APIs and API changes, will continue to happen on python-dev and on the tracker. All the best, Michael Foord

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.4 release team, I'm chuffed to announce the availability of Python 3.4.2rc1. Python 3.4.2 has many bugfixes and other small improvements over 3.4.1. One new feature for Mac OS X users: the OS X installers are now distributed as signed installer package files compatible with the OS X Gatekeeper security feature. You can download it here: https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.4.2 Be seeing you, //arry/

new hg.python.org server
by Benjamin Peterson 18 সেপ্টেম্বর, 2014

I just switched hg.python.org from a OSUOSL VM to a Rackspace VM. The new VM is a bit beefier and has what I think is better network connectivity, so hopefully that will improving the speed of repository operations. We also now support HTTPS for repository browsing and cloning, so update all your links to https://hg.python.org! IPv6 support has also returned for those who like that sort of thing. Note the host keys changed, so you'll probably have to futz with known_hosts to quiet ssh down. I apologize, but I noticed that that the current RSA host key is 1024 bits, so I decided to upgrade it to 2048 during the transition. Thanks to Donald Stufft for helping me set this up.

Well, hg.python.org is basically done now. The main thing now is understanding how other services (planet.python.org, bugs.python.org) are setup and moving them to config management.
