Author: georg.brandl Date: Wed Sep 8 12:43:45 2010 New Revision: 84619 Log: Add Lukasz. I guess you had to asciify Łukasz’ name because developers.txt is in Latin-1, which cannot encode the first character. I think the file should be recoded to UTF-8 so that we have no artificial restrictions on people’s names. I’ll wait some days and if nobody disagrees I’ll recode the file and fix the name.

I would agree, but also suggest a latin transcription for non-latin-alphabet names. -- Terry Jan Reedy ___ 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

This gc info, OTOH, is explicitly debugging information that is only printed out (typically) at shutdown and thus at a point where it will no longer effect semantics or the performance of the application. So I view this as entirely debugging information and thus in no way critical for a user to know about. -Brett > +1 on adding a way to enable/disable the feature. > -1 on removing the feature > -0 on making it disabled by default > > [1] I know that some large, long-running programs periodically check > gc.garbage and carefully choose where to break cycles, but those are the > exception and not the rule. > -- > 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/brett%40python.org > > ___ 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

I think that people whose alphabet is for example Cyrillic already use a Latin transliteration in those files, so it’s good. Are you also including names using extended Latin alphabets (like Łukasz) in your suggestion?
