  • Bugs in Python 2.3.4

    ...release. These bugs may simply be in the test suite, but they may indicate bugs in Python. The test for the ossaudiodev module hangs on some Red Hat systems. (This test is only run when regrtest.py is invoked with -u audio as argument.) test_grp and test_pwd may fail. We've had reports of this on Unix systems that use a "+" at the beginning of a line in the /etc/group or /etc/passwd file to indicate NIS/YP or LDAP consultation. The bugs may also be related to duplicate id ...

  • 2006-10-15 Grants Committee Status Report

    ...release Jython 2.2 Some time later, Frank Wierzbicki offered to take over maintenance of the Jython project, and the PSF board agreed to offer him the remaining funds. This project is still on-going. While the initial time plan for the grants committee (call for proposals and review) worked out fairly well, it turned out that the follow-up activities had significant delays; many delays due to inactivity on my part. From the PSF side, the projects were primarily managed by Kurt Kaiser (as the tr...

  • Towards a Standard Parser Generator

    ...release of 4Suite. When analysing parser generators, the following absolute requirements where defined: The generated parsers should allow semantic actions in Python. This requirement is obvious, since it would not be a Python parser generator otherwise. It was no requirement that the generator itself is a Python program. The generated parsers need to support parsing of Unicode strings. Although this requirement is specific to XPath, Unicode support is desira...

  • Comparing Option-Parsing Libraries

    ...released in July 2003.) Since I proposed Optik for the Python standard library, a number of other option-parsing libraries have come to light. I'm trying to evaluate them by implementing the same real-world command-line interface with several different libraries. Currently, implementations exist for: Greg Ward's (that's me) Optik Russ Cox' iterator interface (ArgParser) Albert Hofkamp's argtools (page no longer available) David Boddie's CMDSyntax (...

  • 2007-02-12 PSF Board Meeting Minutes

    ...released in the past week. Charles Groves, who's steering the 2.2 release, would like to change the license to be the PSF license, removing the 2.0/2.1 part of the license that says "Copyright Jython developers". The push toward 2.2beta/final is increasing the pressure a bit. A. Kuchling asked if everyone looked at his proposed e-mail to jython-dev; some changes were suggested. T. Peters noted that removing the CNRI license would not be possible. A. Kuchling will advise Charles Gro...

  • Python Success Stories

    ...released and was an important building block for my developments. 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. C++ was a candidate, but ultimately not chosen because portability between compilers was still an issue in 1996, and because I considered the benefits of C++ for the small amount of compiled code in the project insufficient to compensate for the complexity of the language. ...

  • Python Internationalization-SIG

(Now also in the Python 2.0 distribution as Misc/unicode.txt.) The proposal defines a 'codec' interface, but implementing codecs for multi-byte languages is out of Marc-Andre's scope and will be left to members of the SIG. There was an i18n forum at the Eighth International Python Conference, at which the above deliverables were agreed,...
