    ...release of Mailman 3.0. At the end of the sprint, I thought, "maybe I could charge for this." Later that year, I started Changeset Consulting, where I expedite long-awaited releases for open source software projects. Through Changeset, I helped the PSF finish and deploy the new PyPI, and I'm working on pip's dependency resolver overhaul and a fresh release of GNU Autoconf. If it weren't for the PSF, my life would be very different, and probably a lot less interesting. Sumana Harihares...

    ...Release Notes Release date: 08-April-2002 What's new in Python 2.1.3 (final)? Core Fixed two bugs reported as SF #535905: under certain conditions, deallocating a deeply nested structure could cause a segfault in the garbage collector, due to interaction with the "trashcan" code; access to the current frame during destruction of a local variable could access a pointer to freed memory. SF #457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python (win9x only). Under certain circumstances, usin...

    ...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. This was incorrect because set subclasses would be created without their __init__() method being called. The corrected behavior brings sets into line with lists an...

In May 2006, we released a major upgrade to the application, with significant usability and look-and-feel improvements. Some of the bot-based functionality made it into the production releases, and other pieces are still being developed or refined for future releases. The View from 10,000 Feet ProjectPipe actually has a somewhat novel architecture. It uses a traditional relati...

  • PSF Weblog Policy

    ...releases of PSF-owned software (e.g. Python itself), but will usually not post items about arbitrary third-party Python software and may decline such submissions. Because the PSF is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit education organization, weblog entries must not take positions on political topics. For example, the PSF cannot post links to campaigns for or against legislation or political candidates. Directors, officers and members should post such material on their own weblogs.

  • FSF response to the Python 2.1 license

    ...release under a GPL with an Unfeedonian-law-applies clause. We're screwed. So we have never allowed a license with a choice-of-law clause to be treated as fully compatible with GPL. Virginia is the worst of all choices, because that state has passed the UCITA law, which adds a whole new range of risks and burdens in the distribution of free software. We explained all this to CNRI, but it was the other subject on which they were immovable. So we settled for a clause that specifical...
