Python reimport
I've implemented a working reimport that, "does what you want". After a bit of testing with friends, I'm releasing version 1.0 tonight. http://code.google.com/p/reimport/ There's still work to do, but this already does a bit of fancy transmuting to push the reimport changes into the runtime. This is not a fully solveable problem, but this also allows modules to define callbacks that can assist the process. Looking for a wider audience to test with. At minimum, my friends and I are using this as a huge relief to alternative workarounds. At best this release will spur wider adoption and further development. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It does a respectable job of updating the changes into the interpreter runtime. It also includes a function to find all changed python modules on disk. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Clarifications on compiling for Windows
My presentation for Pycon is coming together, but I need to make sure my information about compiling Python and Python extensions for Windows is correct. I'm really only experienced with this on the Linux side of things. First of all, is the Windows FAQ fairly up to date? Should people be referring to section 6 if they are going to build an application with an embedded Python interpreter? http://www.python.org/doc/faq/windows/#how-can-i-embed-python-into-a-windows-application If I understand correctly, compiled extensions for Python on Windows should match the compiler that was used to build the interpreter itself? Is there a list somewhere that shows which version of msvc was used to compile the recent Python binaries? Thank you for feedback. I definitely want to make sure I have this correct before telling anybody else? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Minifb 1.2 released
I've released version 1.2 of my simple Facebook module, minifb. http://code.google.com/p/minifb/ This is a minimalist API for validating and making calls to Facebook. The new release fixes a few outstanding problems, and adds support for Python 3. Because the module isn't too large, writing it in a syntax that works on Python2 and Python3 didn't require anything (too) messy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
