Python wishlist
Core Python 2 flaws.
- locals() returns a variable that can be updated at any moment (and changes behavior under trace function)
- internal representation of .py file paths is not normalized (comparisons and identity checks are impossible)
-*- coding -*- header is not used as default encoding when transforming string literals in the source file
- can not modify variables in outer scope (see nonlocal from Python 3)
Missing features of community development process.
- +1 on mailing list posts, on tracker comments and bugs
- personal roadmaps listing features people find important and work on
- de-facto roadmap for the next Python version - Trac milestones
real-time activity feed for https://bugs.python.org/
- activity by module, by version
- tracker fixes
- 'action item' issue type
- everybody should be able to add/remove blockers
- 'reply' link for each message to track threads
monthly mailing list FAQ (status) posts on busy mailing lists .
- contain the most updated info on list topic
- encourage replies with fixes
- encourage collaborative roadmaps
PEP process improvements.
- credit contributors, and not only authors as rereading and validating the spec requires time too
reduce formalism on who can participate
accept edits as patches (create online editor)
- build list of contributors with Mercurial
Ideas:
- Normalized Python
- Iterative Development Process
- Language for humans should help them save time for most frequent operations
- Replace pipes with channels for subprocess (rotated queue of strings)
Component wishlist
Public domain or MIT preferred.
wikify - micro-framework for text wikification (easy to extend and debug) (1, 2)
- [ ] describe the "conflicting replacements" (idempotency) problem what the wikify solves
- split text by regexp, process matched, exclude processed
- run the next regexp on the list of text that is left
- reassemble
- treeworks - tools to work with 2D data structures (trees), including common visualization and debugging
Skill credits for readers of this page
Welcomed open source art:
- 3D robot nut in Blender for rirror on Bitbucket
- 128x128 wikify logo on Bitbucket
Logo for web.py
GSoC/Help needed for tools that support Python development:
complete module-2-source tree map at https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-stdlib
- this will allow to track changes in repository on a module level
- this will allow to find out where a file belongs to
steal twisted highscores - https://twistedmatrix.com/highscores/
and Subversion crediting - https://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/conventions.html#crediting

it's annoying, urgent, really serious |
-- |
humans don't like serious issues, remove |
fix it ASAP |
-- |
humans read it as a direct command, become aggravated, remove |
you're wrong |
I'm not sure that's a good idea |
humans don't like to be wrong, become demotivated |
X suxx |
I think Y would be a better solution that X |
humans attached to X don't like when X suxx, but may like Y |
