  ...candidates stepping forward, in addition to the 8 incumbents. We have a total of 12 candidates for Director this year, but currently the Board is limited to 8 Directors. As Tim Peters put it, "the bigger the board, the more gets done." This motion aims to increase the limit on the number of Directors going forward. We learned in the past that it's better to expand the Board than to miss out on offers of help. This does not mean that all candidates for Director will automatically be...

  ...release candidate 3? Release date: 20-Nov-2008 Core and Builtins Issue #4349: sys.path included a non-existent platform directory because of a faulty Makefile. Issue #3327: Don't overallocate in the modules_by_index list. Issue #1721812: Binary set operations and copy() returned the input type instead of the appropriate base type.

• Python Success Stories

  ...released. This release promised better object oriented capabilities, and the time was right for Rackspace to dedicate more people to the project.

For the low-level part, Fortran 77 was eliminated because of its archaic character, lack of memory management, and portability issues in C-Fortran interfacing.

The list here is the complete list of patches (except version updates): Core Tim discovered a nasty bug in the dictionary code, caused by PyDict_Next() calling dict_resize(), and the GC code's use of PyDict_Next() violating an assumption in dict_items(). This was fixed with considerable amounts of band-aid, but the net effect is a saner and more robust implementation. Made a bunch of symbols static that were accidentally global. Build and Ports The setup.p...
