OK, here's the patch I'd like to direct attention to: http://python.org/sf/1704134 [ 1704134 ] minidom Level 1 DOM compliance This is only the first step toward DOM Level 1 compliance. It fixes the stuff that's easy to fix.
Here are the patch reviews. I put more detailed comments in the SF tracker. http://python.org/sf/1704547 [ 1704547 ] Use MoveFileEx() to implement os.rename() on windows -1. This changes the documented behavior of a commonly used function. http://python.org/sf/1678345 [ 1678345 ] A fix for the bug #1528074 [warning: quite slow] This can be rejected. http://python.org/sf/1673007 [ 1673007 ] urllib2 requests history + HEAD support urllib2.urlopen() object seems like the wrong place for history to be attached. These objects are pretty ephemeral, in my code anyway. Patch is extremely rough. -1. http://python.org/sf/1665292 [ 1665292 ] Datetime enhancements The patch here adds __int__ and __float__ to datetime.timedelta. I'm -1 on that. It also implements > < == comparison between timedelta objects and numbers, which is right out--they don't have compatible hash codes. http://python.org/sf/1652328 [ 1652328 ] stream writing support in wave.py This can be rejected. (Update: After my comments on this one, Neal closed it.) The following patches look good, but I didn't attempt to run them. I just read the source code. http://python.org/sf/1669481 [ 1669481 ] subprocess: Support close_fds on Win32 Looks good, and a definite +1. http://python.org/sf/1704621 [ 1704621 ] interpreter crash when multiplying large lists Yep, it crashes. Patch looks good. +1. http://python.org/sf/1692664 [ 1692664 ] warnings.py gets filename wrong for eval/exec Nice to have. +1. http://python.org/sf/1676135 [ 1676135 ] Remove trailing slash from --prefix Also nice to have. +0. -j _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
