Google Python Sprint 2007

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.)

  • 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.)

For more information on the Chicago sprint, see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/chicago/2007-August/002401.html

Goals and Suggested Sprint Areas

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.

Some suggestions:

  • Cleanup for 2.6/3.0 transition
  • Documentation for the transition
  • Add fixers to the 2to3 tool
  • Expand the SSL support in the socket module to do server-side
  • Add multipart/related support to the email package

Python 3 ideas:

  • Run 2to3 over a variety of packages and look for problems with the output (and ways it can be improved).
  • Convert the last remaining old-style tests to use unittest.
  • Add support for __trunc__ and trunc().

  • Update the docs for [http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3135/ PEP 3135] and others (basically, reverse engineer what the code does and sync the PEPs up with that).

  • Hunt down deprecated code and remove it.
  • Take a module's documentation and make sure it still applies (not terribly sexy, but incredibly valuable).
  • Get rid of __mod__ and __divmod__ methods on float objects.

Food

We'll be providing lunch and dinner to our attendees and breakfast will be available from the micro-kitchens. Our guests will dine with us in our cafes for their meals.

Housing - MTV

You can book a room at The Residence Inn Palo Alto/Mountain View; ask for Google's corporate rate. If you're looking to save funds, you might consider booking a penthouse room at the property and doubling up with another attendee. http://marriott.com/property/propertypage.mi?marshaCode=SFOMV

Security - MTV

Badges will be provided to all attendees. Please wear them at all times.

Come Prepared!

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.

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).

For py3k, check out the "py3k" branch. Also read PEPs 3000-3999.

In either case, make sure you have at least built and tested it once so you are familiar with the process. It's something like "./configure; make; make test" in the appropriate directory. (For Py3k, half a dozen tests typically fail -- a goal of the sprint will be to fix these.)

Questions

Are you guys on IRC, Google Talk, or something like that? Answer: no IRC AFAIK; some individuals can be IM'ed in gmail chat, e.g. gvanrossum@gmail.com, nnorwitz@gmail.com.

Various [http://freenode.net/ Freenode IRC] channels appear to be unused: #py3k, #pysprint, #sprynt, etc.. I could register one if there was interest, but it's not strictly required. --pfein on irc://irc.freenode.net

I suspect #python-dev would be sufficient. -- SkipMontanaro
