venv --upgrade 3.12.0rc2 --> 3.12.0rc3 failure

[Robin Becker via Python-list]

Attempting venv upgrade  3.12.0rc2 --> 3.12.0rc3 I find pyvenv.cfg changes, but 
the virtual python doesn't.
I guess this ought to be a bug.

I have a different version, but it's not 'in place'.

You must delete and then recreate the venv if the version of python changes.
It is not a bug in python.

troglodytes

[Robin Becker via Python-list]

I am clearly one of the troglodytes referred to in recent discussions around 
the PSF. I've been around in python land
for far too long, my eyesight fails etc etc.

I feel strongly that a miscarriage of justice has been made in the 3-month banning of a famous python developer from 
some areas of discourse.


I have had my share of disagreements with others in the past and have been 
sometimes violent or disrespectful in emails.

I might have been in the kill list of some, but never banned from any mailing 
lists.

Honest dialogue is much better than imposed silence.
