I've written down some notes while I was reading your slide. Some of the information may be covered by your speech but better safe than sorry. ;) * Windows builds: Configuration "Debug" or build -c Debug builds a Py_DEBUG build. All executables and extension modules are postfixed with _d (python_d.exe, python.exe is always the standard build). Platform X64 builds for AMD64, PGO is not available in the Express edition * Windows doesn't use automake but a hand crafted PC/pyconfig.h file. * IRC is missing from the communication list (#python and #python-dev on irc.freenode.net, #python-dev gets annotations of checkins and bug tracker activity from CIA bot) * Bug reports: Don't forget to fill in target version, component (extension = Modules/), type (feature request is RFE = request for enhancements). Priority and keywords get filled in by a developer. * Checking: Don't forget to add an entry to Misc/NEWS. Always add a note like "Closed in r12345" when you close a bug. The revision is important und must have the form r12345. Add the bug tracker number #1234 to the checkin message. * Block back ports from automatic forward merging with ".../py3k$ svnmerge.py block -r 12345" or write a note in your checkin message that the revision must not be merged. * Windows tests: Use "rt -d" to run unit tests for a debug build. The rt script accepts all options regrtest.py accepts + the option -q. The argument length on Windows is limited, consider the -f file option. * Building docs on Windows: Require command line svn tool. Use make.bat in the Docs/ directory. Requires HTML Help compiler to build chm files (optional). _______________________________________________ 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
