    ...open (not moderated) newsgroup for general discussions and questions about Python. You can also access it as a mailing list through python-list. Pretty much anything Python-related is fair game for discussion, and the group is even fairly tolerant of off-topic digressions; there have been entertaining discussions of topics such as floating point, good software design, and other programming languages such as Lisp and Forth. Most discussion on comp.lang.python is about developing with Python, not...

    ...open to proposals. S. Deibel reported that the earmarking idea that came up on PSF-members was due to one person asking about tax deductibility. "Catherine said not to worry about it." K. Kaiser noted that we don't want to have restricted funds without an excellent reason. "It really complicates the accounting and the IRS 990." 8   SciPy Support S. Deibel noted that we have a concrete proposal for the SciPy conference, requesting $10K to sponsor 10 students ...

    ...open January 21 (I need to discuss with KBK later). Hotel reservations can be made now, via links on the site. We're getting the new server set up. A/V recording: There is currently a debate between volunteer-based and professional recording. Based on our track record (not good with last year's volunteer-based), I lean toward professional, but it will cost. $25K is budgeted (which would be enough for volunteer or semi-pro, i.e. paying amateurs), but full professional recording will run $40K ...

    ...OpenSSL. We wrote our own python wrapper, called it PyOpenSSL and released it under the GNU Lesser General Public License. We also use an asynchronous architecture based on Twisted to achieve high scalability and responsiveness. Brett Cannon's `strptime()` module, scheduled for inclusion in the language for Python 2.3, made BSD style date-handling work portably across architectures. Existing applications based on CAPS, developed in-house, include a help-desk case-handling system and a bug-tracki...

  • Python 2.4.1 - Release Notes

    ...open files in the spawned process Q as were open in the spawning process P. If a temp file f was among them, then doing f.close() in P first closed P's C-level file handle on f, but Q's C-level file handle on f remained open, so the attempt in P to delete f blew up with a "Permission denied" error (Windows doesn't allow deleting open files). This was surprising, subtle, and difficult to work around. The os module now exports all the symbolic constants usable with the low-level os.op...

    Parade of the PEPs Parade of the PEPs To start off Developer's Day at the Python10 conference I gave a keynote ending in what I dubbed "the parade of the PEPs". It was a brief overview of all open PEPs, where I gave my highly personal and subjective opinion for each PEP. Later, I realized that this might have been of interest to other developers. I didn't take notes at the conference, so below is a different set of comments that I created from scratch during a single two-hour sitt...
