-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm still basically offline, working via a 9600 bps connection. I will be "fully functional" late this week, back in Madrid. Too late for rc1, I think.
I just committed bsddb 4.7.3pre2 to py3k. I need somebody that updates "Lib/test/test_bsddb3.py" to make it equivalent to Python 2.6 one. The code is short, maybe a simple "2to3" operation would be enough. I can't do it because my online connection is marginal and I can't test python3000 code at this moment. Please, confirm. Important details: * bsddb Python 3000 svn work is "lost". In particular, the "buffer" code. This issue was already discussed here. My point is that bsddb is big and complex, and I need to keep a single/unified Python 2.x/3.x codebase to be able to cope with it. I will study your buffer efforts eventually, nevertheless. * All python code in bsddb in written in Python 2.x style. Python 3 code is generated via "2to3". Please, do not update Python3 code directly. The canonical version IS the 2.x code!. * You will see conditional code and some ugliness . This will be improved in the future. Just remember that this code MUST work in Python 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 3.0. The very same code (via "2to3"). * The bytes/unicode dicotomy in Python 3.0 will be improved in future releases of bsddb, in a compatible way (so, new code will be more elegant, and old code will work without changes). I have already plans for bsddb 4.7.4 and 4.7.5. Python3.0 cutoff is too close to improve this just now. Be patient. In any case, current code is fully functional; just beware with Unicode/Bytes mixes. * Precompiled binaries distributed via Python.org SHOULD use Berkeley DB 4.7 (current version: 4.7.25). I guess we should update some buildbots, also... (I already test the code privately against all Berkeley DB versions 4.0-4.7). - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBSLqu1Jlgi5GaxT1NAQJxGAP/QlZ39BE1kWAXDXECXvkLlBAVOQfdF5nk fno+sA+rUSPES19CBxWhvEqoLzT8NS9JKuIU/treKfbcMv8BmPkqqsu2GLI8FXD4 uPCKcABOFHmszkT4+/VFjJVPq+GQXNkw8Gf6SlIgTeQ+exIwxUaGg85aMzfkylfD XY1mJu2L2R0= =aK7S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
