True. I think the speed at which we can deliver with Python makes it much more attractive, even if not just at first. We could something similar to what git did with bash and replace the Python with C incrementally if necessary, but I think that if we go about it right, it shouldn't be much of an issue. > It's entirely possible to create large and complex systems with > Python.

This list is 60MB on one of the Ubuntu mirror directories we have here (our Fedora mirror has been decommissioned while we await more disk space). I imagine Fedora's will be much larger due to the drpm files and secondary architectures put even more into it. We have code that is able to extract information without loading the entire file into our process space. It's very close to what it would be if it were C except for a .split() call on a string (but it's simple enough that a sscanf could do it as well if needed) and the memory/strcmp stuff Python has baked in. Hopefully we will have unit tests and timing on our code this weekend. - --Ben -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJK6RZ8AAoJEKaxavVX4C1XjsMP/0g54tOwnu0MhsH+uhZDx23N uTHMs0CCOZaG+e4VJR3xocOU/Xul5IfZ2fDodKai9YwsA9S3ORuvLR0riKh0IbLW Js8RJW7e2oBWDHUK9nCXIGbuJoPhQrwD+3x88LctxXIy6I34Sw+d8GvrT7vTxgdp S2keUtAgOOm1JGw+JEAyutTa28yRGnFRLZmopgGAXNtUuFf2nvl77Dm1/R1T/9OE YcFykF9eEt8LeZ/9M895eGswmASH3LFPTeYOhmz1g5xPHauu1y7wHoHBkfeFieVa mhtMWLaA8ZfhLKt8FUBUALc0KcDlv42yqyCq7FeKipaaPpyWoHGf6Ce4ZOKgLGPs 5KcDDfVg7xxYH9xoTJ0kiYfy/7ExDr70WUwFg4oRVAl6sEZhVl6+Iz+64UXGVU0z 3o5QH7OKOkyKI9iQheg0b3sXLuhNGyrGz+b0vaEYj7TtoQWHk9qV5UEnoawsTXw+ f51GiQdeZmRNZS1N4m1reX2tUtw0ol1cHcpfpvdqOZazLaSVDwu7CbTyIfalmy79 fDc/yPWWPdcS+mU9LbgqBcEng4lzo/aQSMWHDDzk+r5uIuTibGzslP+hB/fnuuws ibZvpaDZhLElmqcZbAqMZdHVvS5DCXUjeLcPcx5qJBZ3xrcLnO3/GHapXVec3mIr d9UZxP4emQ7cOl8DMkbJ =Nhy3 -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

We're aiming to get it to work on RHEL/CentOS 4 (base, not + EPEL) and Debian stable so that current mirrors running systems that old don't need to upgrade the OS to start using our software (I'm pretty sure we have the hardware to run test instances of the software with various setups). If the libraries we end up using just aren't available, I think RHEL 5 will be a suitable minimum. When Python 3 comes looming over any distribution that starts using our software, we should be able to help port things over. I'd expect Fedora to be the first for this to happen to, but I could see Gentoo having howtos for getting 3.0 as the main Python before that (not that servers would be running such a setup anyways). > -Toshio - --Ben -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJK6RQ4AAoJEKaxavVX4C1Xw54P/2z9WxTx03+EQLF9LMjtrzSV gdwCAoV4kmjI0eiWN1uaMVZp8qRWuWDF7WW74wl4wbbwoi5ipc+iekuM8a91Mzzp jwE/MAbRufX6zCFkZL48ToU9Hvga02CeCIC6wmQIsruJ/TT5Y3O3XdHyVXSB1DD/ +okXSLTyL0PpVKBG+v/qy6Gn+qNzNBLTIzJQkRG4bQS7ThbfteumD5gdGDpx51nm RNze8l+e3giY/XQzO+tf9025xv9Wac3e0DzWSTcDYKtiaEDGbeF/asr767gV5Q8f RjbqzKcLUHn15Rp8jAWl4KtGo9OgbL9MQi3nPsFArqbzb836cuO/LTNkG+BnbhPj 49sVele1+GMcOOlwdtT4qvAOg7WH668FgNc5x0zAx6xxP1RGsi5oLVEFtRReUXx1 t4sOFT/qIKTSbJW0BrOvFJ7m2DNaq5v/JE5vYSZ30KccjiW4PAzBzRPNdl2tbuD7 j9o9N9bTTe+HFSI+6VBiwvf193oS8nS0oZxBcUaBsvoR5FlKw1GggclHVEYBU3jK rj3dyBh7OH9QlukX8ueBOp7yIydsz5AkWNMwRS9LtsRmubGBvrO5qE24DE0M7YVv MkeQwPSwkAQ08OUKlK8NanHoMdFNSSkqJeEyHWNgHP0oekpjwGHyBml+j0Vgpiy1 eiTRw28QhGdA94AQOl4V =X7Gb -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list

There are python daemons in the system though. The builders run kojid, which is a daemon, and the process that triggers repo regeneration (kojira) is a daemon. Of course, these are not public facing -- they really only talk to the hub. The daemon distinction might be wrong thing to fixate on here.
