[Python-Dev] Signs of neglect? (original) (raw)

Hello pydev

I’d like to volunteer to maintain a tool but I’m not sure where I can help. I’m already proposing changes to Brett for Tools/scripts/patchcheck.py, and I have commented on Tools/i18n bugs, but these ones are already maintained by their authors (e.g. Barry is assigned pygettext bugs) and I’m by no means a gettext expert.

If I adopt a tool, it will still require some core dev time to review and commit, but I’ll do the bug triage, discussion and coding.

I suggest that each adoption starts with a reindent.py run and a PEP 8 compliance check. Let demos and tools become a showcase to be proud of!

I have opened a bug to discuss adding a simple sanity test that would just make sure tools and demos can run without syntax errors: http://bugs.python.org/issue9153

There was an open bug about demos, http://bugs.python.org/issue7962, I’ve widened it into a meta-bug for demos and tools. (I hope it is okay.) Please comment, adopt or condemn demos and tools in that report.

Hope this helps.

Regards
