[python-committers] Proposing Petr Viktorin as a specialist core developer

2018-04-13 Thread Nick Coghlan
Hi folks,

I'd like to propose Petr Viktorin as a specialist core developer,
focusing on extension module imports.

Petr was the primary designer & implementer for the accepted PEP 489
multi-phase extension module initialisation PEP, and has continued to
work on changes related to that while mentoring Marcel Plch in the
development of PEP 547 (which will get extension modules to the point
where they can even support execution with the -m switch).

When an import system issue specifically related to extension modules
gets brought to my attention, I'll typically add Petr to the nosy list
to request his opinion.

Regards,
Nick.

P.S. While bringing on another extension module import system
maintainer is my primary motivation for nominating him, I'll also note
that Petr's also long been my primary point of contact for advice on
CPython integration into Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS (he's the current
Python maintenance team lead at Red Hat), and he also has a lot of
practical Python 2->3 porting experience (as a result of coordinating
much of the migration effort for Fedora and RHEL, including leading
the creation of
https://portingguide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html )

Just to add my vote, I too typically pull in Petr whenever I get pulled
into an extension module import issue since he and Nick know that part of
import way better than I do. :)

[python-committers] Experimenting with a Zulip instance for Python core development

2018-04-13 Thread Brett Cannon
Over on core-workflow we decided to try out Zulip as a "more
hyper-interactive email" way to communicate (at least that's how Guido
phrased it :) . We have set up https://python.zulipchat.com/ for *just*
Python core development discussion (i.e. this is not for general Python
support). People so far seem to be enjoying it and so I'm ready to open it
up to a bit more by announcing it here (and if this goes well then I will
announce on python-dev).

Now this is just an experiment and we still expect any important decisions
that need to be discussed with everyone to happen here or on python-dev
(e.g. see INADA-san's recent email about PyUnicode field deprecations which
started over on Zulip but was brought over to email for wider discussion).
This is also not officially part of the Python core team's communication
channels like this mailing list, python-dev, or #python-dev is. But if this
experiment does work out well then we will discuss over on core-workflow
(and on Zulip ;) about making this more official.

Do note that the instance is rather open so you can create new streams and
add bots as desired. We already have bots set up for all commits, build
failures, and deployments of Bedevere and the Knights Who Say Ni (Mariatta
will probably set up Miss Islington when she gets back from her break).

Anyway, feel free to log in and give it a try!

I know him personally from work. He is a good engineer and responsible guy.

+1 This is an area that could use more attention from someone who really cares 
about it.
