| Given the recent spate of successful [:SprintIntroduction: sprints], Google decided it would be a good idea to host a sprint. We've been talking about it since PyCon. Jeremy finally got the ball rolling. | = Google Python Sprint 2007 = |
| Line 3: | Line 3: |
| We plan to hold the sprint Aug 21-24, 2006. This date should be after 2.5 is released (early August). There will be 2 locations: Google's New York City office (NYC), and Google's Mountain View, California office (MTV). Google's Open Source Program Office is doing much of the internal coordination with Jeremy Hylton and Neal Norwitz handling more of the technical side. We hope many Googlers and non-Googlers will participate. Please add your name below if you are interested. | '''Tasks spreadsheet: http://tinyurl.com/ywbwse''' (to edit, first use the invitation once, with your Google Account: http://tinyurl.com/ytxxqu) |

| Line 7: | Line 7: |
| Some suggestions: * 2.5 bug fixing * Cleanup for 2.6 * New features for 2.6 (PEP may be required) * Python 3000 * more big-memory tests for 2.5+ (dicts, unicode, array, struct) * Cleaning and unification of package documentation * Add your ideas here |
* When: August 22-25, 9:30 am - 5:30pm local time * Where: * Mountain View Google Campus - University Theater Bldg 40 * Chicago Google Engineering office * (Sorry, no Kirkland or New York sprints this year.) |
| Line 16: | Line 13: |
| Elaboration: The goals of the sprint have not yet been defined. We should try to fix any serious 2.5 bugs as well as cleanup the code to prepare for 2.6. Let us know if you have any questions. | For more information on the Chicago sprint, see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/chicago/2007-August/002401.html |
| Line 18: | Line 15: |
| Adding a possible goal: Those who have seen the [http://mrtopf.tv/vlog/ Alan Kay keynote] at [www.europython.org EuroPython 2006 @ CERN] have heard his call for Python help to the [http://laptop.org/ OLPC project]. I think this sprint could form a starting point. Those help would also lead to a very big improvement for Browser based computing, in that way giving back to the sprint sponsor. | == Goals and Suggested Sprint Areas == |
| Line 20: | Line 17: |
| Another goal (GvR) is Python 3000. I know some of the core developers would like to rip out more old stuff, e.g. coerce, classic classes still are not completely gone. Another relatively small project is to make it so that __hash__ can be set to None to declare an unhashable type, and to automatically do this the first time __eq__ or __cmp__ are overridden but __hash__ is not. I would also like to finish the new I/O library (at least a prototype) and start ripping out 8-bit strings, but that may be too ambitious. I know Jiwon Seo is interested in working on PEP 3102. |
The primary focus will be on getting new features into 3.0 before the first alpha. We hope to have a solid, stable and reasonably complete 3.0a1. You can make this happen and have fun doing it! Come join us. |
