[Release] Python 3.11.0b4 is still blocked
by Pablo Galindo Salgado 24 জুন, 2022

24 জুন, 2022

Hi everyone, A small update since the last communication from the release team regarding the status of Python 3.11.0b4. Unfortunately, even if we have fixed most of the original release blockers and 4 more that appear during this week, we still have a bunch of release blockers to deal with. One of them has been reported today. I would like to release the next beta next week if everything looks good, but there are also some items that need discussion:. https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93910 https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93516 Ideally we should reach consensus as a team on how to proceed in these issues. In particular, we should decide collectively what is an acceptable slowdown, specially looking to the release candidate. If releasing the next betas is further delayed, I will consider delaying the full release schedule to accommodate for the delay so users have the appropriate time to test and validate every release. Please do not hesitate in reaching out if you have any questions or concerns or if there is any issue you think we should include in the next release. Thanks everyone for your help and understanding. I'm sure 3.11 is going to be an outstanding release thank to all of you :) Cheers from cloudy London, Pablo Galindo Salgado

IMPORTANT: Python 3.11.0b4 is blocked

Hi everyone, Today we are supposed to release Python3.11.0b4 but unfortunately, we have a bunch of release blockers: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Arel… Please, if you are involved in the above issues check if they are resolved or if they are not released blockers. If they are not release blockers or you think we should defer them, please comment on why on the issue. Also, please, notice that the final decision to defer or not a blocker is made by the release management team. If you have some time to investigate, that will help a lot! Please, add me as a reviewer to any PR that needs to be merged to address these issues. Thanks for your help! Regards from sunny London, Pablo Galindo Salgado

Proposed tiered platform support
by Brett Cannon 10 জুন, 2022

10 জুন, 2022

I brought this up on python-dev at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/thread/ZPBSHENP… , and the feedback seemed supportive. As such, I am bringing a draft of what I'm thinking will go into PEP 11 with a bunch of `XXX` placeholders for people to help me fill in to see how this will look overall. For any platform(s) you support, please reply with any relevant details that should be added to the relevant tables below. Once I have these details I will loop back with the proposed update to PEP 11 and make sure everyone is still on board with the proposal. ===== Tiers ===== Tier 1 ====== - `Test suite failures < https://github.com/python/cpython/actions/workflows/build.yml?query=branch%…>`__ block releases. - Changes which would break the ``main`` branch are not allowed to be merged; any breakage may be reverted immediately. - All core developers are responsible to keep these platforms working. - Promotion of this tier requires consensus/SC approval. =================== ===== Target Triple Notes =================== ===== i686-windows-msvc x86_64-windows-msvc x86_64-apple-darwin macOS 11 x86_64-linux-gnu glibc 2.31 |ubuntu-20_01|_ =================== ===== ..

Like down quarks, strange quarks have a charge of -1/3. Like all fermions (which are particles that can not exist in the same place at the same time), strange quarks have a spin of 1/2. What makes strange quarks different from down quarks–apart from having 25 times the mass of down quarks–is that they have something that scientists call "strangeness." Strangeness is basically a resistance to decay against strong force and electromagnetism. This means that any particle that contains a strange quark can not decay due to strong force (or electromagnetism), but instead with the much slower weak force. It was believed that this was a 'strange' method of decay, which is why the scientists gave the particles that name. # We hope you enjoy the new releases!

Invitation to discuss TypeVar syntax
by Jelle Zijlstra 1 জুন, 2022

1 জুন, 2022

Hi everyone, the typing community is considering a proposal to add new syntax to support generic types. This is likely to be a big change, so we'd love for any interested core developers to join the discussion early on so we can get alignment faster. We'll have a video call next Wednesday to discuss the proposal; any core devs (or other interested readers) are welcome to join. (Even if your opinion is "we shouldn't ever do this"—that would be important feedback.) The proposal is still in its early stages, but it would look something like: class list[T]: def append(self, obj: T, /) -> None: ... def __getitem__(self, i: int, /) -> T: ... Replacing the current syntax: from typing import Generic, TypeVar T = TypeVar("T") class list(Generic[T]): def append(self, obj: T, /) -> None: ... def __getitem__(self, i: int, /) -> T: ... This is just by way of introduction; I don't want to start a discussion on this list. If you do want to contribute to the discussion but can't join the meeting, please reply to the mailing list thread https://mail.python.org/archives/list/typing-sig@python.org/thread/GPQO2F4N… . ---------- Forwarded message --------- De: S Pradeep Kumar <gohanpra(a)gmail.com> Date: mar, 24 may 2022 a las 18:22 Subject: [Typing-sig] Re: Typing Meetup To: Cc: None via Typing-sig <typing-sig(a)python.org> *Update*: I'm moving the meetup to* Wednesday, June 1, 11:00 am San Francisco time (UTC-7)* / 7:00 pm London time (UTC+1). (The main reason for the change is that I want to invite some core dev folks outside of typing-sig, since we'll be discussing a syntax change. I don't want a repeat of Callable syntax :| ) *Agenda*: Syntax for TypeVars, by Sebastian Rittau Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84291194582. The meeting will be automatically recorded from the time it starts. I'll share the recording and notes after the meetup.

[RELEASE] Expedited release of Python3.11.0b3!!
by Pablo Galindo Salgado 1 জুন, 2022

1 জুন, 2022

Hi everyone, Due to a known incompatibility with pytest and the previous beta release (Python 3.11.0b2) and after some deliberation, me and the rest of the release team have decided to do an expedited release of Python 3.11.0b3 so the community can continue testing their packages with pytest and therefore testing the betas as expected. # Where can I get the new release? https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3110b3/ # What happened? Pytest by default rewrites the AST nodes in the testing code to provide better diagnostics when something fails in the test. For doing this, it creates new AST nodes that are then compiled. In Python 3.11, after some changes in the compiler and AST nodes, these new AST nodes that pytest was creating were invalid. This causes CPython to crash in debug mode because we have several assert statements in the compiler, but in release mode this doesn't cause always a crash, but it creates potential corrupted structures in the compiler silently. In 3.11.0b3 we changed the compiler to reject invalid AST nodes, so what was a silent problem and a crash in debug mode turned into an exception being raised. We had a fix to allow the nodes that pytest is creating to work to preserve backwards compatibility but unfortunately, it didn't make it into 3.11.0b2. Is still possible to use pytest with 3.11.0b2 if you add "--assert=plain" to the pytest invocation but given how many users would have to modify their test suite invocation we decided to proceed with a new release that has the fix. # What happens with future beta releases Python 3.11.0b3 should be considered as an extra beta release. Instead of four beta releases, we will have five and the next beta release (3.11.0b4) will happen as scheduled on Thursday, 2022-06-16. # We hope you enjoy the new releases! Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible!
