Is anyone interested in helping to resolve this old pexpect issue? Dealing with the Sage development process and in particular Sage package management is a bit beyond me but François Bissey created a branch almost 5 months ago with an updated version of pexpect that worked with the version of Sage available at that time.
http://git.sagemath.org/sage.git/commit/?id=80cd29cee620bb62b53a389cff5f7db4aa65b2d6 Recently one of the pexpect developers expressed an interest in helping to resolve the issue and to that end committed a patch to pexpect to make the wait in the read loop optional. This would avoid having to apply a patch for that purpose since Sage can now just call the new version of pexpect with that option. What steps would be necessary to get this ticket closer to the top of the pile? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: sage-trac <t...@sagemath.org> Date: 14 October 2015 at 20:18 Subject: Re: [sage-trac] #10295: Upgrading pexpect To: #10295: Upgrading pexpect -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: SimonKing | Owner: was Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: sage-6.7 Component: interfaces | Resolution: Keywords: pexpect upgrade | Merged in: Authors: | Reviewers: Report Upstream: N/A | Work issues: Branch: | Commit: u/fbissey/pexpect3.3 | 80cd29cee620bb62b53a389cff5f7db4aa65b2d6 Dependencies: | Stopgaps: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bpage): See commit to pexpect https://github.com/pexpect/pexpect/commit/40ce421051c0a54f3b3849424491882cf1339801 by Jeff Quast. Some discussion at https://gitter.im/pexpect/pexpect The proposal is to make it possible for Sage to stop bundling an obsolete version of pexpect and to take advantage of recent improvements to pexpect including unicode support and support for Python 3. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/10295#comment:73> Sage <http://www.sagemath.org> Sage: Creating a Viable Open Source Alternative to Magma, Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
