I have completed the work needed to make 'persistent' distributable
as a standalone package. The effort (begun almost four years ago!)
includes the following highlights:
Platform Changes
- ----------------
- - Added explicit support for Python 3.2 and PyPy.
- Note that the C implementations of Persistent, PickleCache, and
Timestamp are not built (yet) on these platforms.
- - Dropped explicit support for Python < 2.6.
- - Completed pure-Python reference implementations of 'Persistent',
'PickleCache', and 'TimeStamp'.
Testing Changes
- ---------------
- - 100% unit test coverage.
- - All covered platforms tested under 'tox'.
- - Refactored some doctests as unittests.
- - Removed all 'ZODB'-dependent tests:
- Rewrote some to avoid the dependency
- Cloned the remainder into new 'ZODB.tests' modules on the ZODB
trunk.
- - Added support for continuous integration using 'tox' and 'jenkins'.
- - Added 'setup.py dev' alias (installs 'nose' and 'coverage').
- - Dropped dependency on 'zope.testing' / 'zope.testrunner': tests now
run with 'setup.py test'.
Documentation Changes
- ---------------------
- - Refactored many doctests as Sphinx documentation
(snippets are exercised via 'tox').
- - Added 'setup.py docs' alias (installs 'Sphinx' and
'repoze.sphinx.autointerface').
I would like to release a '4.0.0' version of the package, and switch
the ZODB trunk to pull it in as a dependency (deleting the currently
included (older) copy of persistent). One possible issue is that I
have not (yet) made the C extensions work under Python 3.2: I don't
know whether that should be a blocker for a release.
Comments?
Tres.
