You can see it in action at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EasierPythonDebugging#User_Experience. I'd like to get this into our repository asap, but he's also going to be improving it fairly quickly. So it'd be nice if he could commit his improvements directly. Do you guys think we should give him commit access so he can make gdb and packaging-related changes?

Assuming it's new optional functionality that doesn't affect the core at all, I think we can let it in before it stabilizes. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) From skip at pobox.com Sat Feb 20 19:28:14 2010 From: skip at pobox.com (skip at pobox.com) Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:28:14 -0600 Subject: [python-committers] Commit access for David Malcolm In-Reply-To: <5d44f72f1002200932w1f53130cy75f853f47a7d712a@mail.gmail.com> References: <5d44f72f1002200932w1f53130cy75f853f47a7d712a@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <19328.10686.304815.103731@montanaro.dyndns.org> Jeffrey> David Malcolm is the Fedora maintainer for the Python package Jeffrey> and has written a gdb plugin to replace and dramatically Jeffrey> improve our old Misc/gdbinit file using the new python Jeffrey> scripting support in gdb-7.... I'm fine with adding such a plugin as long is Misc/gdbinit isn't replaced. Not everyone runs gdb 7. Also, since it's support code and not part of Python proper adding such a plugin before it's nice and stable is no big deal. (Maybe it belongs in Tools/gdb, not Misc?)

Ask him to submit patches and assign them to me, and I'll form an opinion. Also ask him to complain to you if I don't act on the patches in a reasonable amount of time.

If I qualify to review packaging-related patches, I might be able to assist with patch review.

Obviously I don't do a good job maintaining the 'Python libffi fork', so I have nothing against you or other people doing my work ;-). On the other hand: Things have changed since the first inclusion of ctypes into the Python distribution. There were no 'official' libffi releases at that time; now there are regular releases. Should the Python distribution be changed to use the system libffi by default - the '--with-system-ffi' configure option? Is a system libffi library available on OS X? On other systems?

Should these be kept out, or should the complete libffi release be checked in? Depends on the answer to your first question, of course. The libffi testsuite requires dejagnus.

I hope you all had as great a time at Pycon 2010 as I did. No time to begin recovering though, we're on to Python 2.6.5 rc 1, which I would like to release on Monday. We have one showstopper still open, and I'll try to respond to that asap. http://bugs.python.org/issue7250 If there is anything else that absolutely should go into 2.6.5, now's the time to let me know. If there are no patches ready to be reviewed and landed though, you're probably running out of time. I will be very conservative about landing patches after rc1. Cheers, -Barry
