Hello all. I am working on updating the PCBuild8 directory in the trunk. This should fix this issue, unify platform builds for win32, x64 and I64, and provide better support for PGO builds. Hopefully when this is checked in, I can backport it to 2.5, since PCBuild8 is not an official platform

I see. There is a file, called pythoncore_pgo_link.txt where you have to add the object too. But pythoncore_pgo is a bit broken in other ways at the moment. I am working on making it better in the trunk. (I also think that MS should improve their tools to make PGO building a one step

[Python-Dev] link to community buildbot?

2006-08-31 Thread skip
There was a buildbot set up recently to test various external packages (like twisted) against Python's source code. I don't recall where it is, but it would be nice if relevant links to it existed on this page: http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/ In addition, if a 2.3.6 release is going to

What is the status of http://effbot.org/lib/ ? I think it's a step in the right direction. Is it still in progress? Can I have access to toolchain source code and/or conversion output? I would like to set up something like gotapi.com for the Python library reference, or help the gotapi people to

At this point, I'd say the documentation patches should go in - the other patches are probably appropriate for 2.5.1. I only want to accept critical patches between now and 2.5 final. Thanks for the patches (and particularly for the unittest! woo!) Anthony
