Re: [Python-Dev] freeze build slave
I disagree. Running tests in debug code tests more things thanks to assertions, and provides more info in case of test failure or crash. Some assertions only fail on some platforms. See for example test_locale which fails with an assertion error on solaris (since Python 3.3). Adding one or two slaves should not hurt. You need maybe at least one on Windows and another on OS X.

Otherwise how would you know how far back five months or seven years was? dateutil's relativedelta keeps the notion abstract until it's combined with an anchor datetime, at which point it's reified to a real duration[0]. If that's the case, then you might as well add the timedelta to your anchor datetime and just use datetime.strftime(). You can't even express next month with timedelta, since the duration of a month is not a fixed number of seconds. [0] well not exactly, a relativedelta really defines a processing pipeline on its anchor date, which allows for fun stuff like saturday the third week of next month. ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I think I'm confused about what you're trying to measure. It looks like the tests perform get and set operations, neither of which required a sorted dict.

[Python-Dev] Adding a readinto1 method to BufferedReader
Hello, The BufferedReader (and BufferedRWPair) classes both have a read1() method in addition to the regular read() method to bypass the internal buffer. This is quite useful if you need to do some buffered reading (e.g. to parse a header) followed by a lot of bulk data that you want to process as it streams in. However, the readinto() method does not have a corresponding readinto1() method. I would like to add this method. I have proposed a patch in http://bugs.python.org/issue20578. Are there any comments, objections, encouragements...? Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.
