Prior to 2.4b1, when an integer was compared to a float, the integer was coerced to a float. That could yield spurious overflow errors (if the integer was very large), and...

    ...problem, and that he had already discussed it with the bank. D. Goodger asked if this needed a board resolution. It was the consensus that it is within the power of the Treasurer to make this decision, and that a formal resolution was not required. N. Norwitz (the Treasurer) noted that it would still be nice to have a plan, with general agreement, before implementation. S. Holden opined that the disposition of funds where they are less than immediately available should be approved by the Boar...

    ...problem, we've been unable to get a volunteer pool to address fully, completely, and with a code base that's actually maintainable." D. Napoleone: "Registration is very hard to get right, especially when everything including the kitchen sink is wanted. We are rather liberal when its comes to things like refunds, and unlike some other conferences, we have add-ons like tutorials which are announced AFTER registration opens." Noller: "Therefore, outsourcing it makes the most se...

    ...problem may have been that the Board was not copied in discussions; in future, when dealing with money on behalf of the PSF, the Board should be copied. Also, don't write hypothetically; hedge everything with "if the Board accepts the proposal". The Board agreed that we still need a concrete proposal; no payment will be made on an unsolicited invoice. The original sponsorship amount ($5000) should be invoiced separately. S.

Would anyone like to help? (No one stepped forward.) S. Deibel: "The real issue may be not $ but time and effort no one has available." 11   Adjournme...

  • Built-in Package Support in Python 1.5

    ...problem for long module names. The only solution is for the package author to provide an explicit index of the package. The import statement uses the following convention: if a package's __init__.py code defines a list named __all__, it is taken to be the list of module names that should be imported when from package import * is encountered. It is up to the package author to keep this list up-to-date when a new version of the package is released. Package authors may also decide not ...
