[Python-Dev] 2to3 and reST text format

2008-09-27 Thread Victor Stinner
Hi, As I remember, last month 2to3 was able to fix my reST documentation using -d option. But trunk version fails to parse my reST documents. Should I run fsck on my brain or is it really a regression? Short example: - Title = Some text before the example: print

[Python-Dev] Python security team

Hi, I would like to know if a Python security team does exist. I sent an email about an imageop issue, and I didn't get any answer. Later I learned that a security ticket was created, I don't have access to it. First, I would like to access to these informations. Not only this issue, but all

Re: [Python-Dev] Filename as byte string in python 2.6 or 3.0?

2008-09-27 Thread Martin v. Löwis
I think that the problem is important because it's a regression from 2.5 to 2.6/3.0. Python 2.5 uses bytes filename, so it was possible to open/unlink invalid unicode strings (since it's not unicode but bytes). I'd like to stress that the problem is *not* a regression from 2.5 to 2.6. As

Re: [Python-Dev] json decoder speedups, any time left for 2.6?

2008-09-27 Thread Bob Ippolito
simplejson 2.0.0 is now released which is about as optimized as I can be bothered to make it. It's about 4x faster than cPickle for encoding and just a little slower and decoding, which is good enough for now ;) The pure Python source is much uglier now (to avoid global lookups, etc.), but also
