It's quite simple to patch our version of 2.7 to revert the change, since it seems like the introduced bug is worse than the problem it tries to fix. - river. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzqT9QACgkQIXd7fCuc5vL4fgCeNfNdMciLUN5KLhP62EicyXo6 0ZsAn2kWMb8cC7JMJM3iOg+XLyGwtvG+ =BTqh -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette

This might actually be a reason to not roll out 2.7 and wait for a fixed version.

Re: [Toolserver-l] Default Python will change to 2.7
Hello all, This is especially relevant for all interwiki bots on the toolserver. Do *not* use python 2.7 for those bots. There is a bug [1] in the unicode normalization that causes page titles to become mangled [2]. This, in turn, results in botwars [3]. As such, interwiki bots on wikipedia should use a python version that does not have this bug, which means using a version before 2.6.5. Although you will get a warning message when using a python version that exhibits this bug, the bot will still work. As such, you may very well cause bot wars if you start using py2.7.

[Toolserver-l] Default Python will change to 2.7
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, During the general maintenance on Dec 6th, we will change the default Python version (/usr/bin/python) on the Solaris user servers from 2.6 to 2.7.
