Today's Topics
Next episode: episode #13.
Topics for #13
New PEP: 3147: PYC repository directories
- will happen in Python 3.2 (code already committed)
- makes it easier to share Python code among multiple versions/implementations.
instead of writing out a .pyc/.pyo in the same directory as the .py, will write to a pycache directory.
- will ignore .pyc if no .py exists
Short items:
2.7beta1 released
- What's New not completely updated.
New PSF board?
GHOP selection process now underway.
- program aimed at college-level students
- through which they can learn how to work on open-source projects.
- students write proposals describing what they want to work on.
- students work w/ mentors, who are existing developers.
- students are paid roughly $3-4K, so this replaces a summer job.
