[Python-Dev] Is Python insider blog dead?
Python insider blog was a great idea, trying to open and expose python-dev to the world. A great and necessary idea. But the last post was in August. I wonder if the project is dead... Would be sad :-( http://blog.python.org/ Enviado desde mi iPhone ___ 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

No. I think, you are welcome to write something about the recent changes you made to Python. -- Senthil On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 12:40:06PM +0100, Jesús Cea wrote: > Python insider blog was a great idea, trying to open and expose python-dev to > the world.

I have a few drafts working (like a post on all of the recent PEP activity) and a few more in my head, but I'd like for it to not be a one-man show :) I've been planning to do another push to get people from around here to write about their big commits, what's going on in the areas of code they work on, interesting bugs they've fixed, etc. Now that you mentioned this, I'll get going quicker and send out details in the next day or so. ___ 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 have a few drafts > working (like a post on all of the recent PEP activity) and a few more in > my head, but I'd like for it to not be a one-man show :) Some interesting topics for this blog: - recent implemented PEP: 393 (Unicode) and 3151 (exceptions) - sys.platform and Linux 3 - deprecation of bytes filename on Windows For PEP 393, I still have a question: does old module benefit of the memory reduction or not? If a string is created using the old API, it only uses a wchar_t* buffer. When the string is read using the new API, it is converted to use the best storage (UCS 1/2/4) and the wchar_t* buffer is freed, so the memory consumption is reduced. The problem is maybe if you access the string again using the old API: Python recreates the wchar_t* buffer and so the string has two storages (double memory usage which is worse than Python 3.2). But I don't understand if this case can happen or not. FYI I added a "Deprecated" section to the What's New in Python 3.3 document: http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.3.html#deprecated-modules-functions-and- methods.

I had planned to do an article on the new packaging features, but the discussion hasn't really come to any conclusions yet, and to be honest I don't think that everything has settled enough yet (particularly on binary installers)[1]. Maybe I could do a short post saying something along the lines of "packaging is coming in 3.3, it's available now in the form of distutils2, please try it out, work out what you like and what you have problems with, and come and contribute on python-dev"...?

[Python-Dev] blog.python.org - help wanted - topics, authors, etc.
As Jesus mentioned earlier today, it has been a while since http://blog.python.org/ was been updated, and even before that it wasn't updated all that often. I'd like to try and get others involved so we can get a more steady flow going and highlight more of the work everyone is doing. The blog aims to keep people up-to-date on what's going on in the development of Python without having to follow every word of this mailing list, the bug tracker, IRC, etc. There are a number of topics that I think would be great for the blog, including but not limited to: * Surveys - Raymond likes to poll people on twitter and has done a bunch of surveys over IRC, usually relating to ideas on APIs. I'd love to put some of these up on the blog and cast a wider net. * New features - Introducing a new module, such as Victor's faulthandler, makes for a great post. As we get closer to 3.3, everyone will be stuffing the commit stream with new features and introducing interesting ones on here would be great. * PEPs - As we all know, PEP discussions can sometimes result in weeks long debates with hundreds of 500 word responses. Summarizing a discussion down to a blog post would probably be helpful for a lot of people. I know I can't follow all of these PEPs all the time, but I'd like to know what's going on. * Problems you're solving - Antoine did a nice post about his changes to remove polling from a number of areas in the code and why he did them. More explanations like this would be great. We run the blog out of a Mercurial repository on BitBucket and do the writing in reStructuredText, then publish via Blogger. There's also a great team of volunteer translators that can get your post out there in 10 languages (see the blog sidebar for the full list). We can also accept guest posts with zero process: you just write and we'll handle the back-end stuff and get your work published. I don't want to make people go through all kinds of hoops if they just want to make a one-time post about something they want to share. If you have any topics - specific or general - that you'd like to see covered, respond here and we'll add them on the tracker. If you're interested in writing, contact me and I'll get you up and running. ___ 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
