2.5 Alpha 1 Targets (4/1/06)

Distutils Enhancements

PEP 342 - Coroutines/Generator Enhancements

  • (DONE) traceback argument to throw() needs to accept an explicit None
  • (DONE) throw() needs to support propagating string exceptions
  • (DONE) document that yield can now occur inside try/finally
  • review stdlib/langref/tutorial/whatsnew docs for correctness/completeness

PEP 343 - The "with" statement

  • (DONE) Document the with statement in the language reference
  • (DONE) Document the context manager protocol in the language reference
  • Document the contextlib module in the library reference

Misc.

  • (DONE) Fix PEP 343 contextmanager __exit__() issue and missing RuntimeError
  • (REJECTED) Have site module process .pth files in all sys.path dirs, not just "site-packages" dirs (this is actually optional, but it would eliminate the need for easy_install to do site.py hacks when it installs stuff to PYTHONPATH dirs.)

2.5 Alpha 2 Targets (4/29/06)

PEP 302 Finish-Out

  • Make traceback module support zipped modules
  • Make inspect module support zipped modules
  • Add code to support find/load of modules ala imp, but using full PEP 302 semantics

The wsgiref Library

  • (DONE) Implement Guido's patch for proper HTTP Date: header format
  • Create documentation for the package in PythonDoc format
  • Copy source and docs to the stdlib
  • Integrate the test suite with the stdlib test suite
