Re: A Newspaper for Python Mailing Lists

[Abdur-Rahmaan Janhangeer]

Well, this one is a newspaper as opposed to being a newsletter.

Newsletters are a collection of links. See

AwesomePython
PythonWeekly
PyCoders Weekly

Newspapers also contain articles, the above don't.

As some mails pointed out above, this is like
the lwn of Python

I have been avoiding the topics and formats used by existing
newsletters by focusing on news among others.

But its funny to see one of them starting to cover news
by writing an external article on a website they own
then link it in the newsletter. It's what you call
competition i guess XD

The focus of this one is and remains mailing lists / discuss platforms.
A look at the archives and you can see publishing
interesting mails. Something you don't have with newsletters.

The main aim of it is getting myself updated with
discussions and pep status and sharing it with the world.
Something i feel i was not getting with existing resources.
I had cool tutos/articles, new libs, popular posts,
job openings, events but not a complete overview
of meta posts.

Yeah, I wasn't clear there. It was equivalent to *the Python code*
"return self". My apologies.

Yes, and that's why I was saying it would need a *second* incref.

  return self;
 }


And then you say "my return value is this object".

So you're incrementing the refcount, then returning it without
incrementing the refcount. Your code is actually equivalent to "return
self".


Chris, you're not making any sense. This is C code, so there's no
way that "return x" can change the reference count of x.

The OP understands that this is not a normal thing to do. He's
trying to deliberately leak a reference for the purpose of diagnosing
a problem.

It would be interesting to see what the actual refcount is after
calling this function.

Re: What to write or search on github to get the code for what is written below:

- I will try to follow all that you people are saying, but it will take time or 
next time. The chance of concurrency is very less. Kindly don't write big 
descriptions.

- The weblink Avi Gross has given is very useful.

Now I have a concern. For the RSS feed. Does your client filter by the
latest
item or pubDate? I published another edition yesterday but noticed that
the item was not the latest in the list.
