Re: [Python-Dev] Scandir module seeking new maintainer

2016-03-29 Thread Ben Hoyt 
Victor Stinner has agreed to take over maintenance of the backport module
-- thanks Victor! His plan is straightforward -- to backport enhancements
from CPython 3.6 and release a new PyPI version.

And thanks Ethan for volunteering as well -- I appreciate it.

Indeed -- probably better than me at this point! I haven't quite been able
to keep up with the latest CPython patches. In any case, I think you'd be
an ideal person for maintaining the backport. I know there was some
question in the past about whether you had desire/time for more open source
contributions; in that light, are you willing and do you have the time?
Though again, this isn't a big module and really just a few fixes at this
point.

Thanks, Ethan. I don't think that would be too much of an issue -- there is
only a small amount of OS X-specific code in scandir.py.

I also see Victor Stinner's just replied. I think he would make the ideal
maintainer if he's willing, as he helped me write the PEP and code and has
been very close to scandir for a long time.

FYI I just finished (I hope!) to bug on os.walk(bytes) on Windows with
the "emulated" scandir (since os.scandir() only works on Unicode on
Python 3.5+):
http://bugs.python.org/issue25911

Since I helped you to write your PEP 471 (scandir) as the
BDFL-delegate, I think that I now understand well scandir(). So I can
help you to maintain your backport.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but seeing I was fairly

It's certainly a good place to start.


So I'm looking for someone who wants to take over the maintenance of the
scandir PyPI module. It wouldn't be much work, as there are only a
couple of fairly small issues to fix. Or it might be a good way to start
for someone who wants to contribute to a small but useful open source
module in the Python ecosystem.


I'd be happy to, although I only have access to linux and MS Windows. 
This would be good prompting for me to get a few other *nices going, 
though (although I don't see MacOSX happening).
