 That seems to argue for doing rc2 on Sunday the 18th.  If I tag the
 release some time Saturday, you could have the binaries by Sunday
 right?

Correct.

Cool.  I've updated the Python Release Schedule calendar to reflect

Re: [Python-Dev] [python-committers] On track for Python 2.6.4 final this Sunday?

2009-10-13 Thread Martin v. Löwis

 It would be nice to get this issue resolved out for 2.6.4:
 
 http://bugs.python.org/issue4120
 
 The problem is that extensions built with 2.6.x will not work
 when used with a User-only installation of Python on machines that
 don't already have the MS VC90 CRT DLLs installed system-wide.

As this bug already exists in 2.6.2, I don't think the change is
eligible for 2.6.4.

In addition, I want to review it, which I won't be able to until
Sunday.

 One possible approach would be to use the patch in 2.6.4 and then
 continue digging deeper until 2.6.5 is released.

This also speaks against the patch. Anything being changed in this area
ideally should be the final state of affairs for the rest of 2.6.x.

Martin

Of course, but we don't live in an ideal world, otherwise we would

I guess the problem is that developer typically already have the
MS VC90 CRT DLLs installed system-wide, so they simply don't notice.

 Yesterday, Tarek committed another setuptools related fix and said
 that he was going to run a bunch of build tests locally.  Tarek, how
 did that go?


I still need to do some more tests, I didn't have time to try the
various projects under win32.
It's planned to night.

The tests are consisting of compiling and insatling a dozain of
projects on linux and win32 (and bith when possible)

 FWIW, that change won't work to fix the problem on Windows if a package's
 setup.py is written with cross-platform paths (i.e., the usual case).

 Also, for the record, it's not really a setuptools-related fix; it's just
 attempting to fix collateral damage caused by the attempt to fix the
 problems caused by the original API change...  which affected all build_ext
 customizations relying on the docstring of the changed method, not just the
 one in setuptools.

Yes the doctest was pretty fuzzy about what is an extension name. It's
will be improved in 2.7.

The current code is doing os.path.join()'s to join the Extension name
with the build path,
leading to the collateral damage you are mentioning. To fix the
problem, the API has to be as permissive
as it was before.

I have already three or four tests to fix that problem in
test_build_ext. If you can take a look at them and
think of any other test that would be missing, that would be
appreciated. Another pair of eye is never enough.

Oh, I did notice. I had been cautioning for years that switching to
a newer VS version (2005 or later) would cause severe problems. We
are still trying to recover from the switch to VS 2008. That said,
staying with VS 2003 really hadn't been an option, either. It's
just said that Microsoft has created a new DLL hell in their attempt
to fix the old one, and that they fail to admit it (assuming that
everybody should be using .NET, anyway).

Ok I will have a look at  this tonite. Thanks. Notice that this changed I made

The goal for 2.7/3.2 is to come up with one single way to define extensions,
and I will probably just add deprecation warnings  for the other forms.

Just curious, how big a server does the linux portion of the test  
require memory-wise?  Would, e.g. an Ubuntu 9.0x with 256MB do the job?


I ask because those types of servers are available for short-run jobs  
for pennines per hour and I would be willing to work on the code to  
fire-up, load them with the test suite, do the run, and shut them  
down.  I happen to have a bunch of code lying around for doing such  
things...

I think there are many 2.6.x bugs queued up for after 2.6.4 is  
released.  I'm not at all opposed to setting a date approximately 1  
month from now for the first 2.6.5 rc.  That should give people plenty

MAL Would it be reasonable to shorten that period, if the fix for the

I think it would be worthwhile to prioritize all outstanding bugs which have
been mentioned in the context of 2.6.[345] and run a bug day with the top
priority being to fix those bugs.  If that task is completed, then move onto
other stuff.  Once those primary bugs are tackled schedule a 2.6.5 release.

I always thought that the idea of a release candidate was that if there

 I always thought that the idea of a release candidate was that if there
 were any fixes _at all_ that there would be a new rc.  Only when no
 bugs needing fixed are found does the rc turn into the actual release.

This was also my understanding; that's the point of calling it
candidate. Since the code base of 2.6.4rc1 was not released as-is,
we would need to consider another candidate.

But then, Barry doesn't like release candidates in the first place.

I'll continue my win32 smoke tests tomorrow, it's not over. So far, so good.

windows XP (vmware) - VC9 - running setup.py build+install

- zope.interface 3.5.2 + setuptools 0.6c9
- Twisted-8.2.0 + setuptools 0.6c9
- pythonwin32-314 +plain distutils: works but I had a failure on
'mc.exe' on one extension which is unrelated obviously.
  pywin32 builds fine otherwise. Still investigating. on this one

This was also my understanding; that's the point of calling it
candidate. Since the code base of 2.6.4rc1 was not released as-is,
we would need to consider another candidate.

But then, Barry doesn't like release candidates in the first place.


No, but let's do one anyway!

So, we can either make Sunday's release rc2 and do the final release  
one week later, or I can try to get an rc2 out in the next day or two,  
with a final release mid-next week.


Thoughts?

that would fit into the within the next day or two plan.

I strongly urge another release candidate. But then, I am not doing the
work, so take that advice for what it is...

That seems to argue for doing rc2 on Sunday the 18th.  If I tag the  
release some time Saturday, you could have the binaries by Sunday  
right?  Then we'll take one more week and release the final on the 25th.
