Re: RELEASED Python 3.0rc3

2008-11-24 Thread Trent Mick

And 2.6 is in final release? So when ActiveState speaks of 2.6.0.0
they mean a final release?


Yes. The first three parts of the ActivePython version are the same as 
the core Python version on which it is based.




So, if the IDLE from ActiveState comes up and says 2.6 (indicating
final release), shouldn't the copywrite message also say 2.6
instead of 2.6rc1 as shown here?

Python 2.6rc1 (r26rc1:66438, Sep 13 2008, 09:20:38) [MSC v.1500 32
bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.


This is what I get when I run IDLE with ActivePython 2.6.0.0 installed:

-
Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Nov 11 2008, 10:21:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit 
(Intel)] on win32

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.

I ran it like this:

  C:\Python26> pythonw.exe Lib\idelib\idle.pyw


I believe there is a problem with your install. My guess is that your 
ActivePython install is using an older python26.dll sitting around 
somewhere.


Is there a python26.dll somewhere in your "C:\Python26" directory, or 
wherever you installed ActivePython 2.6?

Indeed it should. This is my Windows 2.6 installed from 2.6 final on
python.org:

C:\Users\sholden>\python26\python
Python 2.6 (r26:66721, Oct  2 2008, 11:35:03) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

You will note that the Subversion version number is considerably higher.
Don't worry, 2.6.1 will be out in a month or so ;-)

That would be an "oops"; please file a bug report, we're going to be
releasing 2.6.1 about the same time as 3.0.

I'm getting confused. Final release will just say Python 3.0, right?

And 2.6 is in final release? So when ActiveState speaks of 2.6.0.0
they mean a final release?

So, if the IDLE from ActiveState comes up and says 2.6 (indicating
final release), shouldn't the copywrite message also say 2.6
instead of 2.6rc1 as shown here?

Yeah, what's up with that? Until now we've been able to complain at the
release manager for announcing a release before the Windows binaries are
available. How dare he get it right this time? We demand our right to
complain that the Windows binaries aren't available ...
