[Python-Dev] albatross backup

2009-05-11 Thread Martin v. Löwis
Hi Sean, Can you please setup backup for albatross? I gave sudo permissions to the "jafo" user, which has the key j...@guin.tummy.com authorized. I think the policy now is that root logins to albatross are not allowed. So what might work is this: Create an rsyncbackup user, and give it sudo per

2009-05-11 Thread Cesare Di Mauro
At the last PyCon3 at Italy I've presented a new Python implementation, which you'll find at http://code.google.com/p/wpython/ WPython is a re-implementation of (some parts of) Python, which drops support for bytecode in favour of a wordcode-based model (where a is word is 16 bits wide). It also
