I was supposed to release 3.0rc2 last night, but events caught up with
me. In going through the release blockers tonight, I do not think we
are ready to release. Here are the issues that need addressing:
Showstoppers:
3775 Update RELNOTES file
- Don't worry about this one
3626 python3.0 interpreter on Cygwin ignores all arguments
- This one appears to have an approved patch, but I do not have
Cygwin to
verify. I happy if someone who does can verify and then Amaury
should be
free to apply the patch.
3723 Py_NewInterpreter does not work
- This one seems serious and in need of attention. Can someone
please
take a look at this issue?
3799 Byte/string inconsistencies between different dbm modules
- This one also seems serious, and Guido bumped this to a release
blocker so
that it would be looked at before rc2. We'll, here we are at rc2!
1210 imaplib does not run under Python 3
3727 poplib module broken by str to unicode conversion
- These both have patches that need review
3574 compile() cannot decode Latin-1 source encodings
- Brett is approved to land this one
Deferred
I deferred these but I would really like to get them fixed before rc2.
3664 Pickler.dump from a badly initialized Pickler segfaults
- This one needs a proper patch with a test
3714 nntplib module broken by str to unicode conversion
- This issue seems pretty far from resolution
If these issues can be resolved or deferred, I will try again to make
a release tomorrow (Friday) night. Otherwise, rc2 may have to wait
until after November 1st.
Cheers,
- -Barry
