  • Python Distutils-SIG: Design Proposal

    ...to communicate overridden command classes to the main dispatcher. The client's point of view As I said above, the client (setup.py) only has to import distutils.core -- everything else Distutils-ish is taken care of by this core module. However, the client needs a way to communicate its particular options into the Distutils core (and out to the command modules). There are two possible schemes for this: one short and convenient (but not to...

    ...to the committee to discuss the voting process / timeline. We do an okay job with discussion but we need to pin down how to vote. D. Goodger noted that as there was no voting procedure in place, no vote took place. J. Tauber confirmed, but suggested that the details of the voting process be left to discussion on the TMC list. S. Holden noted the earlier suggestion to use the private wiki to record decisions. J. Tauber had process questions: Should we publish a TMC email address for enqu...

Goodger stated that sprints are more-or-less self-coordinating; just have them add to the wiki page. J. Hylton replied "As a former sprint coordinator, I'd say it would be good to have someone to actually coordinate, answer questions, etc." N. Norwitz noted that we don't have all keynote slots filled, and asked if he should tr...

I don't expect repr() to save a reference to your object, unless you implemented the object type yourself (then it could be a bug in your tp_repr or tp_str function). 3) Anyone else becoming _really_ interested in a bytecode-to-C translator (as discussed a while ago on the list) :) [Unfortunately, that's not going to help you as much as you'd like, because of Python's dynami...

    ...however, come at a significant price. A typical microcontroller has only a few hundred bytes of RAM, several K of ROM (to store the program) and orders of magnitude less processing capability than a conventional desktop microprocessor. Hardly an environment for running Python! There are projects to adapt Python for embedded applications, but they require significant resources on the microcontroller, and are still in the very early stages. Surprisingly, however, it turns out that standard Pyth...

  • Incompatibilities between Python 2.1[.x] and 2.2[.x]

    ...tors (__add__ and so on) cannot rely on the __coerce__ method to coerce the arguments; the other argument will be whatever was present originally. Thus, if x is a new-style class instance defining an __add__ method, x+1 causes a call to x.__add__(1). The method implementation will have to analyze the other argument's type in order to be able to implement the operation correctly. If the method implementation decides that it doesn't know how to implement the operation for this particular combin...
