Last week Google "beta'd" [1] their apps hosting service (to compete with Amazon Web Services from the look of it), built on top of Python (see <http://shell.appspot.com/> for an online shell demo).
At roughly the same time a bug in PyString_FromStringAndSize() surfaces (as much as a bug can surface - it was latently there all along). See <http://bugs.python.org/issue2587>. I guess if a service is labeled as Beta, the users don't expect 5 9's in service levels. :-) At least the chap who found the bug says dealing with the Python team was a lot more professionally handled than dealing with the Ruby team, so there's that. :-) [1] Is GMail out of beta yet? -- Regards, Daryl Tester "We are sexy, sexy Von Neumann machines." -- http://www.xkcd.org/387/ _______________________________________________ sapug mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/sapug
