Yep, that link is part of what I was talking about, though really it's one of a few experiments we're working on right now for making the build tools more accessible. I'm not sure it is currently sufficient for building CPython, but that's why I'm working with the team on these - what is eventua

Can we even ask github to pull it down and reasonably expect them to comply? Their entire model is built on everyone forking everyone else. On 2/27/2016 06:25, Mathieu Dupuy wrote: Ahah. Obtaining his electronic coordinates like email to gently ask him to pull it down by himself (otherwise we

Re: [Python-Dev] Python should be easily compilable on Windows with MinGW

Theoretically yes. Practically, I think, but do not know for sure, it would have the same annoying issues as other SDK builds (of which, the most annoying is just different paths for the tools). Making that a supported build would require some of the same effort as supporting any other compile

Re: [Python-Dev] Python should be easily compilable on Windows with MinGW

The 9 gig initial download is not the only problem. Visual studio is very bandwidth hungry in day to day operations (between polling websites and vcs remotes, near constant updating, integration with the VS web service, etc.). You can of course shut all of that off, but it's a pain. It's my

Re: [Python-Dev] Python should be easily compilable on Windows with MinGW

For this particular case, is there someone generous enough (or, can someone apply for a PSF grant) to ship Mathieu a DVD/two/flash drive? On Feb 26, 2016 12:18 PM, "Mathieu Dupuy" wrote: > Hi. > I am currently working on adding some functionality on a standard > library module (http://bugs.python

Re: [Python-Dev] Very old git mirror under github user "python-git"

Ahah. Obtaining his electronic coordinates like email to gently ask him to pull it down by himself (otherwise we open fire). Because having Github suddenly destroying the repo, even though the man probably forgot about its existence might be a bit rude from the polite people python developers are.
