Re: [Python-Dev] how GNU stow is complementary rather than alternative to distutils

2009-05-11 Thread Giuseppe Ottaviano
Talking of stow, I take advantage of this thread to do some shameless advertising :) Recently I uploaded to PyPI a software of mine, BPT [1], which does the same symlinking trick of stow, but it is written in Python (and with a simple api) and, more importantly, it allows with another trick

[Python-Dev] py3k, cgi, email, and form-data

2009-05-11 Thread Robert Brewer
There's a major change in functionality in the cgi module between Python 2 and Python 3 which I've just run across: the behavior of FieldStorage.read_multi, specifically when an HTTP app accepts a file upload within a multipart/form-data payload. In Python 2, each part would be read in sequence

[Python-Dev] A wordcode-based Python

2009-05-11 Thread Cesare Di Mauro
At the last PyCon3 at Italy I've presented a new Python implementation, which you'll find at http://code.google.com/p/wpython/ WPython is a re-implementation of (some parts of) Python, which drops support for bytecode in favour of a wordcode-based model (where a is word is 16 bits wide). It also

Hi, WPython is a re-implementation of (some parts of) Python, which drops support for bytecode in favour of a wordcode-based model (where a is word is 16 bits wide). This is great! Have you planned to port in to the py3k branch? Or, at least, to trunk? Some opcode and VM optimizations have

Hi Sean, Can you please setup backup for albatross? I gave sudo permissions to the jafo user, which has the key j...@guin.tummy.com authorized. I think the policy now is that root logins to albatross are not allowed. So what might work is this: Create an rsyncbackup user, and give it sudo
