[Python-Dev] Issue18299 Change script_helper to use universal_newlines=True in _assert_python

2017-05-16 Thread Pranav Deshpande 
I am a beginner when it comes to open source contribution and have decided
to take up this issue. I did some basic research about the issue found this
file:

cpython/Lib/test/support/script_helper.py

The function _assert_python call run_python_until_end which call
subprocess.Popen which takes the parameter universal_newlines=True.

But I think that I don't understand this issue. Could anyone guide me from
this point forward?

Regards,
Pranav

[Python-Dev] Snap Python for simple distribution across multiple Linux distros

2017-05-16 Thread Martin Wimpress 
Hi all,

I work at Canonical as part of the engineering team developing Ubuntu
and Snapcraft [1] and I'm a long time Python fan :-)

We've created snaps, a platform that enables projects to directly
control delivery of software updates to users. This video of a
lightning talk by dlang developers at DConf2017 [2] shows how they've
made good use of snaps to distribute their compiler. They found the
release channels particularly useful so their users can track a
specific release.

Is there someone here who'd be interested in doing the same for Python?
