The staticmethod thing isn't new; that's also the case in 2.x.
The super() thing is a case of practicality beats purity. Note that
you pay a small but measurable cost for the implicit __class__ (it's
implemented as a "cell variable", the same mechanism used for nested
scopes) so we wouldn't want t
Hi all,
I blogged about that topic today which turned out to be a very bad idea,
so I summarize it for the mailinglist here to hopefully start a discussion
about the topic, which I think is rather important.
In the last weeks something remarkable happened in the Python3 sources:

Hello all,
test_math is currently failing on the Debian/alpha buildbots (trunk and
py3k).
I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to figure out what's going wrong, and I'm
starting to run out of ideas, so I thought I'd ask the list for help to see
if
anyone has any useful suggestions.

Hello Python Dev!
As you all know modules don't support properties. However several places
and modules could use properties on module level. For example the
sys.py3k_warnings flag could be implemented with a property. Other flags
in the sys module could benefit from read only properties, too.

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so I apologize ahead
of time if it is.
I was just curious as to why cStringIO objects don't implement the
buffer interface. cStringIO objects seem similar to string and array
objects, and those support the buffer protocol. Is there a reason
Hi all,
I've been working on optimization of the AST, including the porting of
the old bytecode-level optimizations to the AST level. A few questions
have come up in the process of doing this, all of which are probably
appropriate for discussion on this list. The code I'm referring to here
