Hi, Since some months, I'm trying to improve Python but it's difficult because I'm not allowed to push patches and I have to wait for some reviews and then for someone interrested by my patches. Sometimes I just get a good reaction like "nice patch" and then nothing. Should I stop sending new patches and work on another project, improve old patches and send an email everydays to the mailing list to get some reaction?
Barry doesn't want to release Python 3.0rc2 because of release blocker issues. Guido asked if the mailing list has collapsed. I don't understand: you want help, but some of my patches are waiting since many weeks ago... The problem is not just about me, but about anyone trying to contribute to Python: if it's to hard to contribute, people would just move to another more reactive project. --- Well, here is a short list of my patches waiting to be commited: http://bugs.python.org/issue3727 (fix poplib for python3) + patch posted 13 days ago http://bugs.python.org/issue1210 (fix imaplib for python3) + patch posted 16 days ago http://bugs.python.org/issue4036 (support bytes for subprocess.Popen) + patch posted 22 days ago http://bugs.python.org/issue4021 (improve tokenize.detect_encoding) + patch posted 28 days ago + reviewed by amaury http://bugs.python.org/issue4008 (IDLE: unicode fix checksyntax()) + patch posted 28 days ago http://bugs.python.org/issue3954 (fix _hotshot.logreader) + patch posted 39 days ago + reviewed by amaury and georg.brandl http://bugs.python.org/issue3880 (fix _tkinter._flatten) + patch posted 44 days ago + reviewed by gpolo http://bugs.python.org/issue3632 (ensure GIL in _PyObject_Dump) + patch posted 70 days ago + reviewed by amaury -- Victor Stinner aka haypo http://www.haypocalc.com/blog/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
