On behalf of the Python development team and the Python community, I'm
happy to announce the first alpha release of Python 3.1.

Looks good, thanks to all involved. Two minor things:



For more information and downloads, see the Python 3.1 website:

 http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.1/



On the release page, the bzip link says '3.0' not '3.1'.


See PEP 375 for release schedule details:

 http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0361/



On the PEP page, the Google calendar link is borken.

[Python-Dev] wiki/docs enhancement idea

[Gerard Flanagan]

I didn't know who to reply to in the previous thread. (Moving the 
Developer docs/ Python wiki).


scraperwiki.org is a 'site scraper automater'. I threw together a script 
just now which scrapes certain specified pages from the python wiki and 
converts to something rest-like. It runs every 24hrs and the idea would 
be that the result could be included alongside the official docs. This 
may increase people's motivation to contribute to the wiki.


Script here: http://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/pywiki2rest/edit/

Example api call:

http://api.scraperwiki.com/api/1.0/datastore/getdata?format=json&name=pywiki2rest

Re: [Python-Dev] PEP: Consolidating names and classes in the `unittest`module (updated 2008-07-15)

One option for rationalising the API would be to merely keep the
shortest version of each phrase (i.e. use assert* instead of
fail_unless* for the positive tests and fail_if* instead of
assert_not* for the negative tests, and always drop the trailing 's'
from 'equals').


I think clarity, consistency, and discoverability are more important
criteria than saving a few characters in a method name.


Adding in possible positive and negative forms of the proposed new
methods


A major point of this PEP is to *remove* redundant names in the API.
