[Python-Dev] Multiprocessing maintenance

2010-10-23 Thread Antoine Pitrou
Hello everybody, Who is doing multiprocessing maintenance these days? I thought Ask Solem had been given commit privs for that, but I haven't seen any activity from him; and Jesse is, mostly, absent. Is anyone working on the multiprocessing issues? (no, I'm not planning to address them :-))

2010-10-23 Thread Antoine Pitrou
Hello, The first 3.2 beta is scheduled by Georg for November 13th. What would you think of scheduling a bug week-end one week later, that is on November 20th and 21st? We would need enough core developers to be available on #python-dev. Regards Antoine.

2010/10/23 Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de: I'm worried about build identification. Either the switchover happens before RC1, or after Final. I expect significant breakage from the Mercurial switchover, so that should all be figured out before or after the release. I hope that can be well

Both. Originally the module is/was meant to be officially maintained by Jesse, as far as I understand. But bugs filed against multiprocessing have been lingering in the tracker for quite a long time. I personally think we should treat these reports in the same way as all other lingering
