PyCon 2010 will be February 19-21 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia (US).
Van Lindberg, PyCon chair, has approved having another Python Language
Summit on Thursday, February 18 2010. The web page for it is
<http://us.pycon.org/2010/about/summits/language/>
The Python Language Summit is an invitation-only event for developers
of Python implementations and the standard library, to discuss issues
of common concern to all implementors.
It will mostly be organized similarly to last year's event. I'm going
to drop the initial open discussion, which wasn't very useful, and
we'll just have three 1.5-hour discussion sessions. The fourth time
slot will be left open for chatting, development, or whatever the
attendees want to do.
We therefore need to decide what those three sessions should be about.
Please discuss on python-dev and hopefully we can arrive at some
consensus on topics of reasonably wide current interest. (See
http://us.pycon.org/2009/about/summits/language/ for a reminder of
last year's topics.)
Given the long discussion on the stdlib-sig it seems like a discussion
of the standard library would be useful. Potential topics include (some
of which partially overlap each other):
* Clarifying the deprecation process of modules including whether we
will *ever* remove deprecated modules
* Breaking the standard library into a separate development repository
(which we decided to do at the last language summit but haven't yet -
several developers are still keen to do this)
* Deprecating and removing more obsolete / unmaintained modules (I
believe a new PEP on this will be coming soon)
* The goals of the standard library - some people want a 'dead' standard
library (as in dead-stable) others want to see an actively improving
standard library
* Bringing new best-of-breed modules into the standard library (and what
to when they fully or partly duplicate existing functionality)
All the best,
Michael
Feel free to raise discussions on other lists such as jython-dev,
catalog-sig, or wherever, but please summarize the results here on
python-dev; I won't see discussions on other lists.
Like last time, invitations will be sent to the committers for Python,
Jython, IronPython, PyPy, Pynie, plus a few extra people and projects.
If you want to suggest another project or person who should be
invited, please send me a private e-mail.
