[Python-Dev] Windows build bot failure

Some Windows build bots can't compile openssl. The MS assembler fails to assemble a file. I *think* the issue can be fixed by using nasm32 instead of masm. Christian ml /Cp /coff /c /Cx /Zi /Focrypto\sha\asm\s1_win32.obj .\crypto\sha\asm\s1_win32.asm Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 7.10.60

[Python-Dev] nested classes leaking in compiler

While preparing the Python-AST compilation patch, I noticed that each class nested in a class leaks one reference (2.5 and trunk). It wasn't found by regrtest -R because it only happens on compiling, and it seems that all snippets compiled during the tests as opposed to on import didn't contain su

[Python-Dev] Removing callable() from the stdlib

I've been running 2to3's fix_callable over 2.6's stdlib to remove -3 warnings due to callable() usage; 2to3 replaces callable(x) with has_attr(x, "__call__"). Unfortunately, this breaks code that wants to run callable() on old-style classes (like test_builtin), because old-style classes don't have
