Re: [Python-Dev] [Distutils] Adventures with x64, VS7 and VS8 on Windows

If you want to experiment with a signed installer, try

http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/python-2.5.1.msi

In order for Windows to verify the signature, you can install

http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/osm.cer

first (and remove it from the list of trusted root certificates
when you are done, if you are worried about that).

While XP displays the certificate just fine (in Properties/Digital
Signatures), my installation of Vista fails to recognize that the
file has a signature. Not sure what's wrong here (FWIW, signtool
would fail to sign the file as well if run on Vista, but signed
it just fine when run on XP).

Martin

Re: [Python-Dev] Minor ConfigParser Change

2007-05-31 Thread Joseph Armbruster

Fred,

My only motivation was style.

As per your comment:

"In general, we try to avoid making style changes to the code since that can
increase the maintenance burden (patches can be harder to produce that can
be
cleanly applied to multiple versions)."

I will keep this in mind when supplying future patches.

Before the current iteration support was part of Python, there was no way
to
iterate over a the way there is now; the code you've dug up is simply from
before the current iteration support.  (As I'm sure you know.)

Is there motivation for these changes other than a stylistic preference
for
the newer idioms?  Keeping the SLOC count down seems pretty minimal, and
unimportant.  Making the code more understandable is valuable, but it's
not
clear how much this really achieves that.

In general, we try to avoid making style changes to the code since that
can
increase the maintenance burden (patches can be harder to produce that can
be
cleanly applied to multiple versions).



No other motivat

Are there motivations we're missing?

[Python-Dev] removing use of mimetools, multifile, and rfc822

2007-05-31 Thread Brett Cannon

I just finished going through PEP 4 and adding DeprecationWarnings in
2.6for the various modules that were lacking the warning for some
reason or
another ...

... except for mimetools, multifile, and rfc822.  All three modules are
still used by some other module somewhere in the stdlib.  The docs say to
use the email package to replace these three, but there is no one-to-one
mapping.  And as I never use any of these three modules, email, or the
modules still using the three in question I don't know how to go about
ripping them out.

In other words this email is to hopefully inspire someone to remove the uses
of rfc822, mimetools, and multifile from the stdlib so the
DeprecationWarnings can finally go in.

+1 for deprecating these.  I don't have time to slog through the  
stdlib and do the work, but I would be happy to help answer questions  
about alternatives.

I will give it a shot and will try to come up with a patch.

[Python-Dev] failures in test_sqlite when entire test suite run

2007-05-31 Thread Brett Cannon

I have been getting failures from test_sqlite off the trunk when I run the
entire test suite (as ``./python.exe Lib/test/regrtest.py``) with this error
on OS X 10.4.9 and sqlite3 3.3.16:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File
"/Users/drifty/Dev/python/2.x/pristine/Lib/sqlite3/test/regression.py", line
29, in setUp
   self.con = sqlite.connect(":memory:")
ProgrammingError: library routine called out of sequence


When run in isolation it is fine.  Anyone have a guess as to what is going
on?
