  • FSF response to the Python 2.1 license

    ...problems that can arise. You see the simplest of them already in your license stack: one license applying the law of California and another the law of Virginia. That could happen many times over with free software projects, with each module and some patches within the modules treated under different rules of law, which would create almost intolerable confusion. It does not happen with proprietary software because there is a single owner, who does not permit derivative works. In addi...

  • 2007-04-09 PSF Board Meeting Minutes

    ...problems, and asked if the PSF should do something. A. Kuchling provided background: On Friday, two crawlers were going through the wiki very quickly. The load average was in the 70s. PyPI is on the same machine [ximinez], and the out-of-memory process killer was killing off PostgreSQL processes, I think. Possible courses of action: 1) Fix the wiki crawler problems. 2) Get more memory into the machine. 3) Move the wiki to another machine. 4) Make the PyPI code more efficient. Doubtless mo...

  • Standard Exception Classes in Python 1.5

    ...problems. In Python versions 1.5 and later, the standard exceptions are Python classes, and a few new standard exceptions have been added. The obsolete AccessError exception has been deleted. Because it is possible (although unlikely) that this change broke existing code, the Python interpreter can be invoked the command line option -X to disable this feature, and use string exceptions like before. This option is a temporary measure - eventually the string-based standard exceptions w...

The shortest route to that goal would be to shift the design work to the end of the process so that flight characteristics would have a good chance of already being finalized. In other words, as Friedrich says, "We decided we needed to do this data management work 'just in time'." A just-in-time solution, however, generally puts more stress on both people and systems to get things righ...

  • Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2

    ...problem in classic Python? Diamond diagrams are rarely found in classic Python class hierarchies. Most class hierarchies use single inheritance, and multiple inheritance is usually limited to mix-in classes. In fact, the problem shown here is probably the reason why multiple inheritance is unpopular in classic Python! Why will this be a problem in the new system? The 'object' type at the top of the type hierarchy defines a number of methods that can usefully be extended by subtypes...
