Re: [Python-Dev] Summer of Code: zipfile?
Hi Giovanni, I'm the author of the new zipfile module, which has come to be named ziparchive. The SoC project was mentored by Ilya Etingof. It's available through sourceforge page [1,2], were you can download a package for it, and also through svn [3]. The current implementation is working nicely, and includes the initially proposed features, which includes: file-like access to zip members; support for BZIP2 compression; support for member file removal; and support for encryption. However, I'm not fully satisfied with the current API niceness (and some of its limitations), and I'm working on a somewhat new design, which will start within the next version. So, it would be very nice to get suggestions, ideas and criticism about the current version so that the next one can be better still. So, I encourage whoever is interested to download and try it. There are some examples in the code and in the project home page [2]. And, please, send some feedback, which will help make this the ultimate zip library for python. :-) [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/ziparchive [2] http://ziparchive.sourceforge.net/ [3] https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ziparchive/ziparchive/ Cheers, -- Nilton On 11/12/06, Giovanni Bajo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > wasn't there a project about the zipfile module in the Summer of Code?

As for the adding of logging to the stdlib modules or the decimal in C, we need the mentors to step forward and say something about that. -Brett ___ 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

I don't think you need "centralization" or "control"; the Python
mentors are all public spirited and responsible folks, right? It's
just that report-writing is kind of unrewarding work, especially if
you don't know what the report is supposed to be like (and haven't
even been asked for them!)
Why not have a wiki page for reports, and hand out a T-shirt or
something like that to *mentors* who file their reports? Somebody at
the PSF should sit down, think about what the report really needs to
say from their point of view, and buy a pizza (as well as the
T-shirt!) for somebody trusted to write a good but *minimal* report.
Then point to that: "Here's the quality of prose and citation you need
to aspire to, here's the minimum length and content you *must* include."
Report-writing of this kind is for the *mentors*: you want to know who
supervises well, and eventually do meta-mentoring. Of course the
participants should be writing reports too, but this page should link
to those reports. You'll get them; the mentor's T-shirt ("Somebody
participated in the Summer of Code and all I got is this lousy
T-shirt") is at stake!
