[python-committers] commit rights for Richard Oudkerk (sbt)

2012-04-25 Thread Charles-François Natali
Hi,

Richard (sbt) has been contributing for quite some time now, as can be
seen from (part of) its contributions below:

"""
- Issue #4892: multiprocessing Connections can now be transferred over
  multiprocessing Connections.  Patch by Richard Oudkerk (sbt).

- Issue #11750: The Windows API functions scattered in the _subprocess and
  _multiprocessing.win32 modules now live in a single module "_winapi".
  Patch by sbt.

- Issue #14087: multiprocessing: add Condition.wait_for(). Patch by sbt.

- Issue #14522: Avoid duplicating socket handles in multiprocessing.connection.
  Patch by sbt.

- Issue #14300: Under Windows, sockets created using socket.dup() now allow
  overlapped I/O.  Patch by sbt.

- Issue #14335: multiprocessing's custom Pickler subclass now inherits from
  the C-accelerated implementation.  Patch by sbt.

- Issue #12328: Fix multiprocessing's use of overlapped I/O on Windows.
  Also, add a multiprocessing.connection.wait(rlist, timeout=None) function
  for polling multiple objects at once.  Patch by sbt.

- Issue #13322: Fix BufferedWriter.write() to ensure that BlockingIOError is
  raised when the wrapped raw file is non-blocking and the write would block.
  Previous code assumed that the raw write() would raise BlockingIOError, but
  RawIOBase.write() is defined to returned None when the call would block.
  Patch by sbt.

He writes good code, has good ideas, is reactive to comments and
reviews, and he's actually the original multiprocessing author (and
he's one of the few contributors competent under both Unix and
Windows).

Therefore, I think it would definitely make sense to give him commit rights.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Uh, Wow. Yes. He should have commit rights - he was granted them when the 
multiprocessing pep was approved, but then vanished for several years (myself 
and others tried getting a hold of him). Lack of any contributor agreement or 
response from him is actually why the header files for multiprocessing 
including the specific license due to lack of contributor agreement from him.

He should have commit rights: In fact I'd love to talk to him offline about 
where he went off to! I assumed he was gone-gone!

Actually, I don't see his name in the SSH keys history, so apparently he
wasn't given commit rights at the time.

Agreed with Jesse and Charles-François.

Guido mentioned him at the 2011 Language Summit as a vanished
contributor that we'd really like to get an agreement from.

You wouldn't; he "disappeared" before that happened. I am *really* happy to see 
him alive and active!

Interesting note: We supposedly have a contributor agreement on file for him 
now: 

Contributor Form Received Yes on: 2012-02-26.05:00:00

I'll follow up offline to confirm

Re: [python-committers] Confirm a contributor agreement

2012-04-25 Thread Pat Campbell
Hi Jesse:

Yes, I can confirm this. And, a good indication of it/documented on  or
can be found on the bug tracker. If the item: Contributor Form Received
is marked (Yes) then chances are very high that I have already taken care
of the contributor form.

I look over more and more contributor forms in any given week because
now they are sent via fax, US mail, email, etc. So, the information that you
provided helped me to get to the information more quickly.

I hope you got what you needed.

Thanks,
Pat

[python-committers] List Linux distribution maintainers to help with bug triaging?

2012-04-25 Thread Nick Coghlan
While helping to diagnose what appears to be a Fedora/RHEL specific
problem with distutils, it occurred to me that it may be useful for
triaging that kind of distribution specific problem if distro package
maintainers (or at least points of contact) were listed in the experts
file in the devguide: http://docs.python.org/devguide/experts

What do people think of the idea of adding specific distros (e.g.
"Linux (Fedora/RHEL)", "Linux (Ubuntu)") to the "Platforms" table for
cases related to building and packaging where it may not be clear if
the problem lies within CPython or within the distro?

Cheers,
Nick.

Feel free to add me for "Linux (Fedora/RHEL)".

Definitely a good idea. How about even putting a link to the upstream
packaging repository (if available) like:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=python.git

so others can easily inspect what patches the distro is using.

That's probably not the right place to put the link. Hmm, maybe there 
should be a page on the wiki with information about the state of python 
in the various linux distributions. E.g. what version is in each distro 
version, the maintainer, a link to the downstream repo/patches, etc.
