[Python-Dev] IBM P-690 server looking for a home
Greetings, The company I work for has an IBM P-690 server that is in the process of being retired. It is still a viable server, and has seen almost 0 use (it was our failover machine). Unfortunately for us, this machine has little to no resale value, and will probably be junked. I'd rather it go to a good home, and having taken advantage of the work of the python development community for a number of years (we use python extensively in system admin and database work), I saw this as an opportunity to give back a little. So, If anyone is interested in this machine, please let me know. We are looking at perhaps a November time frame for when it will be removed from our remote site. The P690 is no small machine, it is the size of a full rack and has 32 Power4 processors in it and takes (I believe) 2 or 3 phase 220 Volt power. It weighs nearly a ton. We are running AIX5.3 on it, but I believe that the machine is capable of running a PowerPC flavor of Linux as well. This would make a great test machine for python HPC modules or as a community box where developers could test their code against a PowerPC architecture. It has lots of life left and I'd rather see it put to use then thrown away.

I'll follow up in private. (And yeah, I'm still working on Snakebite, for those that are interested. Turns out hosting three racks of heavy-duty hardware in the corner room of a (graciously donated) science lab takes a bit longer than originally anticipated. Who would have thought.)

Re: [Python-Dev] Summary of Python tracker Issues
And Now For Something Completely Different... http://code.google.com/p/bbreport/wiki/PythonBuildbotReport The buildbot failures and tracker issues are listed in 3 tables: - *New failures* : failures which are not associated with an issue in the tracker - *Known issues* : failures which are (probably) linked with an existing issue (the association [failure] <--> [issue] is based on regexp rules) - *No recent failure* : these issues are no longer reported on recent builds. Either the problem is fixed, or the failure is elusive. The page is hosted on Google Code. Victor hosts a cron job which recalculates and upload the JSON data. Currently, the report is uploaded every hour.

[Python-Dev] Request for commits and/or privileges
Several issues that I'm involved with (listed below) are ready for commit, as far as I can tell. They have a patch, and either a core developer has positively reviewed the patch or the patch is a straightforward implementation of a core developer's suggested approach. They are all bug-fixes or optimizations. May I have commit privileges so that I can commit these patches and future patches in a similar state? If the consensus is negative for any reason, I completely respect that decision and will continue to contribute patches just as I am now (but in that case, consider this my humble request for someone to commit these changes :) ). If positive, I would start by committing just one (after writing an appropriate NEWS entry) and soliciting feedback to make sure that I had done it right. http://bugs.python.org/issue8781 - 32-bit wchar_t doesn't need to be unsigned to be usable http://bugs.python.org/issue9214 - Most Set methods of KeysView and ItemsView do not work right http://bugs.python.org/issue8750 - Many of MutableSet's methods assume that the other parameter is not self http://bugs.python.org/issue5553 - Py_LOCAL_INLINE(type) doesn't actually inline except using MSC http://bugs.python.org/issue2521 - ABC caches should use weak refs http://bugs.python.org/issue808164 - socket.close() doesn't play well with __del__ Many more in the pipeline :-) -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
