As with any infrastructure, there is a reasonably high cost in changing, as people have become used to a certain way of doing things, and porting the contents from the old system to the new one requires additional effort.

[Python-Dev] os.access on Windows
There's a thread on python-list at the moment: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2011-May/1272505.html which is discussing the validity of os.access results on Windows. Now we've been here before: I raised issue2528 for a previous enquiry some years ago and proffered a patch which uses the AccessCheck API to perform the equivalent check, but didn't follow through. Someone on the new thread is suggesting -- validly -- that the docs should highlight the limitations of this call on Windows. But the docs for that call are already fairly involved: http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.access We seem to have a few options in increasing order of difficulty: * Do nothing - inform the occasional enquirer of the situation and leave it at that. * Update the docs to add something which describes what the function actually does on the Windows platform. (Whether or not we change any code). * Apply the patch in issue2528 to 3.3 and maybe 2.7 * Leave os.access alone but offer alternative Windows-specific functionality in the os module or elsewhere, using essentially the code in the issue2528 patch. As a side note, the pywin32 packages don't actually include AccessCheck at the moment. (Which makes it slightly harder to explain to people how they could do this check for themselves). It could probably be added over there which might ease the burden over here. Opinions?

Because whether or not two objects can coexist in the same hash table should *not* depend on their hash values - it should depend on whether or not they compare equal to each other. The use of hashing should just be an optimisation, not fundamentally change the nature of the comparison operation.

Has the Python insider blog really accumulated enough history and cruft to make this move problematic? It's a fairly new blog, with not much content in it.

It's not just the Python Insider blog that is affected (and *any* effort directed towards platform changes is effort that isn't going towards writing new articles. Of course, if Blogger don't fix the currrent problems, then that will be a moot point - moving will be necessary to get *anything* done). In general, though, infrastructure changes start from a position of "not worth the hassle", just like code changes. It takes a pretty compelling set of features to justify switching, and, while Blogger isn't the best engine out there, it isn't terrible either (especially once you replace their lousy comment system with something that is at least half usable like DISQUS).

As Jesse has said, there is an RFP in development to improve python.org to the point where we can self-host blogs and the like and deal with the associated user account administration appropriately. But when it comes to collaborative blogs, it *isn't* just a matter of dropping a blogging engine in and running with it.

It uses the real uid instead of the effective uid, it encourages LBYL behavior, the outcome may be incorrect, it doesn't work on Windows... The ONLY reason to ever use it is in a setuid() program.

[Python-Dev] in latest Py3k site.py: configparser.NoSectionError: No section: 'posix_prefix'
Hi,
since May 19, I get the exception below in the latest py3k site.py when
trying to run a distutils build with it (building Cython). The changelog
since the previous (working) CPython build is here:
https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/job/py3k-hg/374/
The failing build is here:
https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/job/cython-devel-build-py3k/1313/console
This is on 64bit Linux. I tried with a clean checkout, no difference. Is
this problem obvious to someone, is there anything that needs adaptation on
our side (I hope not), or should I file a bug report?
Thanks,
Stefan

To run a blog on www.python.org, a PEP is not needed. If anybody would volunteer to set this up, it could be done in no time.

The best way to determine "could I access this file" is to try to access it, and be prepared to get an exception. So we might deprecate-then-delete it on Windows. People who *really* need to know in advance should use the Windows API for that on Windows (i.e. call AccessCheck).

[Python-Dev] Python 2.6.7 release candidate 2 now available
Hello to all you Pythoneers and Pythonistas, I'm happy to announce the availability of Python 2.6.7 release candidate 2. Release candidate 1 was not widely announced due to a mismatch between the Mercurial and Subversion branches. Barring any unforeseen issues, this will be the last release candidate before 2.6.7 final, which is currently scheduled for June 3, 2011. As previously announced, Python 2.6 is in security-fix only mode. This means that general bug fix maintenance has ended, and only critical security fixes are supported. We will support Python 2.6 in security-fix only mode until October 2013. Also, this is a source-only release; no installers for Windows or Mac OS X will be provided. Please download and test this release candidate. http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.7/ The NEWS file contains a list of changes since 2.6.6. http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.7/NEWS.txt Many thanks go out to the entire Python community for their contributions great and small. Enjoy, -Barry (on behalf of the Python development community) signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ 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

It's a bug introduced by the packaging (Distutils2) feature.
