Hi, 2013/12/4 Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk>: > As with previous years we will be having a Language Summit at PyCon North > America, in Montreal. The summit will be on Wednesday 9th April and running > from approximately 10am to 4pm.
My talk "Track memory leaks in Python" was accepted, I will be present at Montreal for Pycon US \o/ For the summit, I think that we must discuss the adoption of Python 3 and try to fix remaining issues to ease porting applications from Python 2 to Python 3. Mercurial and Twisted are not ported yet, and some developers consider Python 3 as a mistake. You must try to understand why and fix remaining issues. One concrete point is the "support .format for bytes" which was requested by Mercurial ("for Mercurial this is the single biggest impediment to even getting our testrunner working, much less starting the porting process.") and Twisted ("Honestly, what Twisted is mostly after is a way to write code that works both with Python 2 and Python 3.") http://bugs.python.org/issue3982 A PEP was requested for this issue, I'm interested to help to write it and implement it in Python 3.5. A Python 2.8 version was also proposed to reduce differences between Python 2 and 3, and so ease porting applications to Python 3. Related discussion: "About Python 3" http://alexgaynor.net/2013/dec/30/about-python-3/ "Debating a "transitional" Python 2.8" http://lwn.net/Articles/578532/ Free link if you are not subscribed: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/578532/8002e0bc4289a23d/ This mailing list is not the right place to discuss all these points, I propose to discuss them during the Language Summit. If you would like to discuss these points right now, please open a discussion in python-dev or python-ideas.
