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.

'''Goals and Suggested Sprint Areas''' ''If you plan or hope to attend, please sign up below so we can have your badge ready at the lobby. (Googlers: please sign up so we can plan the space accordingly.)''
Line 7: Line 7:
Some suggestions:
  * 2.5 bug fixing
  * Cleanup for 2.6
  * New features for 2.6 (PEP may be required)
     * New testing framework based on decorators (Brett Cannon)
     * Merging in memory tracking work from bcannon-sandboxing branch (Brett Cannon)
  * Python 3000
  * more big-memory tests for 2.5+ (dicts, unicode, array, struct)
  * Cleaning and unification of package documentation
  * Rewrite import in Python (Brett Cannon)
  * 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 19: 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 21: 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 23: 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.

(Non-Googlers: please go to the Building 40 reception and say you're a guest of Leslie Hawthorn or Guido van Rossum.) Please come prepared so we won't have to waste time helping everybody with their setup. Bring a laptop (preferably running Linux or OSX; we have limited svn setup experience for other systems, esp. Windows). Make sure svn is installed: http://subversion.tigris.org/ -- Check [[http://prolificprogrammer.com/~hdiwan/blog/2006/08/02/home_subversion_repository_1.html|Hasans Blog Entry on subversion ]] for help with other systems.

(please note - only reserved until 2:30 PM on Thursday, 8/24 - do we need another room?) For Python 2.6, check out the head branch; see http://www.python.org/dev/faq/#subversion-svn (use the instructions for anonymous checkout unless you already have developer privileges).

Line 103: Line 108:
'''Come Prepared!''' In either case, make sure you have at least built and tested it once so you are familiar with the process.
