Python 2.3?

["Adam R. B. Jack" <aj...@trysybase.com>]

Do folks mind if we mandate Python 2.3 for Gump? Right now we use Python 2.2
(avoid some methods and bundle the logging classes, and such) for folks like
Leo who couldn't get a later RPM (or whatever). Can we upgrade to 2.3?

[I am trying to optimise Gump, it is sickly slow for the little it really
does & I just don't get where the memory is going. I want to upgrade to rule
that out.]

regards,

Adam

Coding is voting by lazy consensus :)

Go for it.  Gump is building the HEAD of the world, why shouldn't it 
work from the HEAD as well?

Not really.

I have no idea what Python 2.3 buys us, what we'd win by mandating 2.3
- you probably know better than me and I trust your call.

LSD or any other machine shouldn't be that big an issue.  ISTR Leo has
installed Fedora Core in the meantime and this (at least FC2) ships
with Python 2.3.

Is this something we need a vote on? Something to grab folks attention,
before I break things on them? [I'm guessing a VOTE is a lousy way to
provoke participation, I'm guessing most folks (who read this request) are
(like myself) not Python experts, so aren't responding. I still need to
determine how to move on though.]

[Lack of answers to questions like this is why I worry about the traffic
volume. I think there is too much volume for most of our community to

sideline). Alternative ideas on how to solve that appreciated...]

Personally, I don't have the expertise to judge if Python 2.3 has taken over
from 2.2, however there are a lot of nice things in 2.3 (e.g. introduction
of Boolean True/False keywords) and I'd really like to make the switch. That
said, if anybody has a problem with it, and/or Python 2.3's coverage of OSs,
I can wait.

BTW: I see Python 2.3.4 is finalized http://python.org/2.3.4/, and has RPMs
http://python.org/2.3.4/rpms.html. Most stable is marked as 2.3.3.
(http://python.org/doc/faq/general.html#how-stable-is-python). As such, I
assume some 2.3 is out there for most environments, but I don't know that.
[FWIIW: Python 2.4 is in the works.  ]

Adam
