[Python-Dev] Freeze exception for http://bugs.python.org/issue23661 ?
So unittest.mock regressed during 3.5, and I found out when I released the mock backport. The regression is pretty shallow - I've applied the fix to 3.6, its a one-liner and comes with a patch. Whats the process for getting this into 3.5? Its likely to affect a lot of folk using mock (pretty much every OpenStack project got git with it when I released mock 1.1). -Rob -- Robert Collins Distinguished Technologist HP Converged Cloud ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

The patch ideally would have gone into 3.5 first, then been merged to 3.6. As it is, you'll apply it to 3.5, and then do a null merge to 3.6. It will get released in the next 3.5 beta. --David ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

During the beta period, 3.5 is open for normal maintenance (i.e. anything that would be acceptable in a 3.5.1 release). The 3.5 changes that need a +1 from Larry as release manager are the ones where beta feedback reveals an "incomplete feature", where we need to make a more significant change to resolve it that would normally be disallowed on a maintenance branch (e.g. sorting out the data model for PEP 492 after Ben Darnell's attempts to integrate native coroutines with Tornado highlighted a number of shortcomings in the original design). The 3.4 branch also remains open for general maintenance until 3.4.4 goes out, at which put I assume Larry will put that branch into security fix only mode. I wonder: should we start putting some of these process details for the different phases in the release PEPs themselves? Larry sent a good summary to python-committers for 3.5 a while back, but they'd be easier to find in the PEPs, and it would also make it clear which aspects a new RM was keeping, and which they wanted to try doing differently.
