[python-committers] Wording about packaging in the 3.3 announcement

2012-05-29 Thread Éric Araujo

Hi Georg,

I would like to clarify something in order to remove a misleading or 
confusing statement from the release email:



* The new "packaging" module, building upon the "distribute" and
   "distutils2" projects and deprecating "distutils"


First, packaging *is* distutils2, modulo a few changesets that I have to 
port between the codebases.  Second, I would remove the mention of 
distribute: packaging is an implementation of the packaging PEPs which 
have their origins in setuptools and which have been improved by the 
community, and it also takes some minor features and ideas from 
setuptools, but I think that “building upon” is too strong (and 
mentioning only distribute may hurt the feelings of setuptools authors 
and users—distutils-sig is a heated place).


My suggestion:

  * The new "packaging" module (also known as distutils2, and released
standalone under this name), implementing the new packaging formats
and deprecating "distutils".

The whatsnew document has the same problem, and also mixes packaging 
(venv and packaging) with imports (namespace packages), but I did not 
get a chance to fix it before today, so I probably will after the alpha.


Thanks

Those additions were from me, and were a result of the fact that those
are *big* changes that should have a huge positive impact for end
users in the long run, but weren't being advertised in the What's New
at all. (packaging was at least mentioned in the "new modules"
section, but replacing the framework for component distribution
deserves a lot more prominence than that - it's far more significant
for the future of Python than minor syntactic changes like PEP 380 or
409).

The reason they're lumped together like that is because they're all
related to code distribution - namespace packages are about being able
to easily split up a single Python package across multiple installed
components, PEP 405 is about maintaining multiple independent sets of
installed components on a single machine, and packaging/pysetup is the
new system for building and installing components in general.

While it makes sense that Raymond doesn't want to devote too much time
to cleaning up What's New until the feature set stabilises in the
first beta, we need to remember that alpha users also need some
pointers to the shiny new toys we'd like them to tinker with. pysetup
and pyvenv in particular are rather hard to test in an automated
fashion, so we'd really like people hammering on them manually. In the
absence of preliminary entries on those topics, I added the shorthand
section so that they were at least mentioned and users would know to
go look at them and try them out. Ideally, each of those bullet points
will be expanded out to an entire section in their own right.

Cheers,
Nick.

On reflection, I decided to instead extend Daniel an offer that he
could add me to the nosy list on any issues he was working on and I'd
take a look.

An explicit offer to review any patches he submits seems like a
sensible interim step prior to granting him direct push access.

Cheers,
Nick.

Probably a bit less scary for him as well, we might hope. I know I am in 
trepidation of even looking at the codebase when I consider the chops of those 
who wrote most of it. He's going to make it!

PS: Will be leaving committers as soon as I find out how, but not for any other

[python-committers] Threadjack: python-dev input to site redesign [sorry ...]

2012-05-29 Thread Steve Holden
Is any one person in the dev community anxious to represent that community in 
the (hopefully forthcoming) "new new python.org" development. Probably a good 
time to talk about that, as the RFP is open.

I think I'd give bonus marks to anyone who offered (as one of the alternative 
styles) Jost's random multi-logoed blue designs, which I suspect might be a 
fond choice occasionally for some old-timers such as myself. No reason why 
history must be forgotten. We aren't the State Department.

regards
 Steve

PS: feel free to move to python-dev, where I no longer lurk.
