Hi, As 2.6 is approaching, I took some time to day to do a catchup merge of the mainline trunk SVN branch into the Stackless trunk SVN branch. It was a pretty clean merge and the checkin message summarises the remaining work to do (besides future merges until the release of 2.6).
Merged in r62123-64233 from the mainline trunk. 'configure' is still an older version generated from an older version of 'configure.in'. It still needs to be regenerated and checked in. There are still deprecation warnings happening when you subclass the tasklet class and have it call the base '__init__' function with the passed in function as an argument when it gets instantiated. This appears when running the Stackless unittests, in 'test_watchdog.py'. The mainline 'test_sys.py' unittest is failing because it checks the size of the typeobject according to a formula, which does not take into account what Stackless adds to this structure. Two other mainline unittests fail, 'test_site.py' and 'test_distutils.py', however, these also fail when Stackless is compiled as normal Python with the Stackless functionality turned off - so are not a Stackless problem. If you want to get involved in the development process and want to work on any of the issues listed above, please feel free to reply to this email with any questions you need answered in order to get you started. Want to get to know more about the Python internals? The deprecation warnings problem or the 'test_sys.py' size problem would both involve some forays in that area. I will sort out the configure task in half an hour or so, if all goes well. Cheers, Richard. _______________________________________________ Stackless mailing list [email protected] http://www.stackless.com/mailman/listinfo/stackless
