(Back to Python3000.)

General

The tasks to do are now kept in the tracker: bugs.python.org

• Finding and removing all the cruft in the code and docs that has been deprecated. If you know of any of these things, please add a note to the wiki. Some common strings to look for are: deprecated, compatibility, b/w, backward, and obsolete.

  • PyErr_Warn (Skip Montanaro, done)

  • remove old patform support (Skip Montanaro, RISCOS/os.extsep, BeOS is done)

  • remove PyArg_Parse, METH_OLDARGS (Skip Montanaro)

  Py3kDeprecated

Coding

• Finish bytes implementations (what's left to do?)
• Add more set behavior to dict.keys(), .items(), .view() (PEP 3106)
  • Consider defining dict as a subclass of set, then the most useful behavior is automatic (namely, set operations on keys.).
• Library reorganization (PEP 3108, Brett Cannon) (make separate section?)

• Py3kStrUniTests - fix the remaining 3-4 tests that are failing

• Implement PEP 3101 - format() method (Talin, in sandbox/pep3101)
• PEP 3109 - exceptions (Collin Winter)
• Clean up io.py - new I/O (PEP 3116)
• Write a Windows version of _fileio.c

• Write accelerators for StringIO/BytesIO & pickling (Alessandre Vassolotti)

• Implement PEP 3118 - new buffer API (Travis Oliphant, in py3k-buffer branch)
• Implement PEP 3121 - Extension Module Initialization and Finalization (Martin von Loewis)
• Implement PEP 3134 - exception chaining (Collin Winter?)
• Implement PEP 3141 - numerical ABCs
• Kill *slice APIs (Thomas Wouters will merge the noslice branch)
• Optimize integers
• Optimize strings
• Whatever isn't yet listed *done* in PEP 3100

  • unify __builtins__ vs __builtin__ or otherwise keep only one

  • get rid of unoptimized functions
  • cleanup various C APIs

  • add support for trunc() and __trunc__

  • move compile()?
• What else?
