[Python-Dev] Patch for robotparser.py

[Raymond Hettinger]

If there is anyone here with an interest in web-spiders,
it would be nice if someone else could take a look at

http://bugs.python.org/issue21469

which addresses the risk of false positives with the robots.txt parser.

Great to hear!

Welcome Steve. It's awesome to have this, at least to some extent,
officially endorsed by Microsoft. Python's Windows support is markedly
better than other similar languages (Perl, Ruby), which I think contributes
a lot to its success.

Does it mean that non-thread-safe tests can't be run using a GUI test
runner that is implemented using tkinter?

[Steve Dower]

Thanks.

For those who missed the earlier discussions, Martin v. Löwis has handed over 
responsibility for the Windows installers. It sounds like Brett Cannon and I 
are both in a position to build 2.7 right now, and I hope to simplify the setup 
required for 3.5 so that anyone can produce and test the installers. (Martin is 
going to look after the 3.4.x builds.)

Obviously I'm also here to help out with Windows in general. I haven't quite 
managed to get 50% time from my employer (maybe 10%), but my management at 
least is very supportive of my participation and keen to keep Python running 
well.

Cheers,
Steve

Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-checkins] cpython: Remove the redundant and poorly worded warning message.

That's partly because it isn't going to be terribly effective.
Security is a difficult subject, not one that's going to be usefully
treated in a couple of lines here, a couple more there.  And it is
generally an application issue, not one that is specific to individual
features.

If we're serious about this, I suggest following the RFC pattern:
*every* module's documentation should have a "Security Considerations"
section.  Probably the content will be basically the same as the
existing warning boxes, but with a consistent approach throughout the
docs it could convey the importance of always thinking about security.

 > The consequences of that are clearly visible in the world around

But (FWIW) that's what warning boxes looks like to me.  An
afterthought.  Not a systematic attempt to encourage security by
teaching about secure programming.  By your own words, we are nowhere
close to a world where "a word, to the wise, is sufficient."
