There's a Python Job Board on python.org; see

for information on posting opportunities there.

Not a huge faux pas, but you will get much better exposure by submitting it
to the Python Job Board.  Details on posting vacancies can be found here:

I knew this was going to happen one day.

[Python-Dev] cookielib patch

2005-02-04 Thread John J Lee
Anyone like to commit 1028908?

Patch was written by module author (me), including an important doc
warning re (lack of) thread safety which I mistakenly thought had got into
2.4.0.

Hope this question isn't too dumb:

How will Python releases made in response to security bugs be done: will
they just include the security fix (rather than being taken from CVS
HEAD), without the usual alpha / beta testing cycle?  Or what...?

[Python-Dev] 2.3.5 and 2.4.1 release plans

2005-02-04 Thread Anthony Baxter
Ok, so here's the state of play: 2.3.5 is currently aimed for next Tuesday,
but there's an outstanding issue - the new copy code appears to have
broken something, see www.python.org/sf/1114776 for the gory details.
I'm completely out of time this weekend to look into it too closely - if 
someone has 1/2 an hour and wants to do some triage on the bug, I'd
appreciate it, a great deal.

I'm currently thinking about a 2.4.1 around the 23td of Feb - Martin and
Fred, does this work for you? There's a bunch of backporting that should
probably happen for that - I will try to get some time to do this in the next
week or so.

While this is undoubtedly a bug fix, I'm not sure that it should be 
backported - it will break people's code that is "working" now (albeit
in a faulty way). What do people think?

I concur -- the balance of risks is towards the patch causing more harm
than good.
