• Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting (September 13, 2005)

  ...if we can identify fixed-deadline tasks for which we need volunteers, so they can drop out when they are done with specific tasks. S. Holden replied that the plan isn't that detailed yet, but it needs to be before we start, so Martin's approach is sound. S. Deibel suggested that if would help if the plan could define the areas that need work and essentially have slots for people to sign up. S. Holden will encourage Tim to proceed in that way. A transition plan will be drafted and sent to the...

• Computer Programming for Everybody

  ...if my cell phone were programmable, I would still use the regular declarative interface (i.e. the keypad) to dial a specific number, since that's the most convenient way to access that specific functionality. However, without programmability, there is no way I can make it try a couple of different numbers for a particular friend until one is answered, unless the cell phone vendor anticipated this particular feature. 3. Challenges Some questions arise immediately. What would the pro...

• Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

  ...ifferent algorithm, which may yield a somewhat different search order in rare cases. The difference only shows up when two given base classes occur in a different order in the inheritance list of two different derived classes, and those derived classes are both inherited by yet another class. Here's the smallest example I can think of: class A(object): def meth(self): return "A" class B(object): def meth(self): return "B" class X(A, B): pass cla...

• PSF Trademark Usage Policy

  ...ified) logo for any commercial purpose must also be approved first by the PSF. We will generally be unable to do this, because of the confusion it may cause. As a guideline, modifications that leave the shape -- but not necessarily the colors -- unaltered are likely to be approved. Inclusion of other visual elements at an offset to the logo is generally acceptable (subject to other terms of this policy). Modifications that modify or obscure any part of the shape of the logo will not be approv...

• Python Software Foundation: Minutes of Board of Directors Meeting, December 13, 2005

  ...if nobody else was forthcoming, and noted that the subject would be regarding what the PSF did for the SoC, not about the SoC in general. J. Hylton suggested that Chris DiBona and Greg Stein be asked if they want to participate in the SoC BoF. A. Kuchling noted that if Chris DiBona is coming to PyCon, he and a PSF director would probably work well. A. Kuchling promised to write to Chris DiBona and Greg Stein and ask about their attendance at PyCon and possible BoF participation. N. Norwitz tho...

Goodger reported that we have a candidate logo from Marc-André Lemburg, plus his own variations on the the Python logo (with various "PSF" text layouts). Goodger asked if we want a new logo for the PSF, or is the Python logo sufficient? The Board agreed to put the qu...

• Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

  ...ifferent. Whenever a submodule of a package is loaded, Python makes sure that the package itself is loaded first, loading its __init__.py file if necessary. The same for packages. Thus, when the statement import Sound.Effects.echo is executed, it first ensures that Sound is loaded; then it ensures that Sound.Effects is loaded; and only then does it ensure that Sound.Effects.echo is loaded (loading it if it hasn't been loaded before). Once loaded, the difference between a package an...

As the battling cookbook entries on this topic prove, this is a lot harder to do in full generality than it seems. The PEP is unfinished: it doesn't even specify the required semantics! And why isn't the author's implementation included, if it's only 20 lines? I propose to reject this, to save the author work...
