Hi Larry, FYI: I asked EB about the roster deadline and she says that she doesn't know when it is either. Checking on the Lei Out web page didn't help much either. So, you are no wiser now than at the start of this message. -tim ___ Python-Dev mailing

[Python-Dev] Small subprocess patch

2004-11-30 Thread Peter Åstrand
I'm planning to change the signature for subprocess.call slightly: -def call(*args, **kwargs): +def call(*popenargs, **kwargs): The purpose is to make it clearer that "args" in this context is not the same as the "args" argument to the Popen constructor. Two questions: 1) Is it OK to commit cha

Follow-up: When I install Python as Administrator, all is well. In that case (but not when installing it as me), it asks whether I want to install it for all users or for myself only. I then install pywin32 and it works. So it may be that a caveat is in order to people who do not install 2.4 as

I'm using Windows XP SP2. Uninstalled 2.3, installed 2.4 (running as me, not as administrator). No problems so far. Tried installing pywin32-203.win32-py2.4.exe When I try to install it as me, it gets as far as "ready to install." When I click Next, it says Can't load Python for pre-in

I've cut the release24-maint branch, and updated the Include/patchlevel.h on trunk and branch (trunk is now 2.5a0, branch is 2.4+) The trunk and the branch are now both unfrozen and suitable for checkins. The feature freeze on the trunk is lifted. Remember - if you're checking bugfixes into the t
