Incidentally minidom falls far short of passing even Level 1 Core for more reasons than omission of EntityReference.

Can do, but at this point I'm not aware of any work having been done on the issues listed there between the 2.3 and 2.5 releases. The danger is people may be used to the "wrong" minidom behaviours, given they have been static for so long and are in many cases central to how minidom works. -- And Clover mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.doxdesk.com/ ___ Python-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
Re: [Python-Dev] New-style icons, .desktop file
Morning! I've done some tweaks to the previously-posted-about icon set, taking note of some of the comments here and on -list. In particular, amongst more minor changes: - added egg icon (based on zip) - flipped pycon to work better with shortcut arrow - emphasised borders of 32x32 version of pycon, and changed text colour, in order to distinguish more from pyc. In balance I think this is enough of a change, though Nick Coghlan's idea of just using the plus in this case also has merit - indeed this is what happens at 16x16 - built .ico files without the Windows Vista enormo-icons. If the icons *were* to go in the win32 distribution, it probably wouldn't make sense to spend the considerably larger filesize on Vista icons until such time as people are actually using Vista. - included PNG and SVG version of icons. The SVG unfortunately doesn't preserve all the effects of the original Xara files, partly because a few effects (feathering, bevels) can't be done in SVG 1.1, and partly because the current conversion process is bobbins (but we're working on that!). So the nice gradients and things are gone, but it should still be of use as a base for anyone wanting to hack on the icons. - excised file() in favour of open() ;-) Files and preview here: http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/icons2.zip http://doxdesk.com/img/software/py/icons2.png Oh, and is the intention to deprecate the purple/green horizontal snake logo previously used for 'Python for Windows' (as well as PSF)? If so, Erik van B's installer graphic could probably do with a quick refresh. cheers, -- And Clover mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.doxdesk.com/ ___ 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
