[Jython-dev] Jython 2.7.1 beta 3 - it's really almost here!

[Jim B. <jim...@py...>]

Here's my current triage list for beta 3, which are issues that high or
urgent in this shortened link: bit.ly/jython-triage-2_7_1:

2350

Installer errors on ensurepip <http://bugs.jython.org/issue2350>

2434

zlib module has different flush behaviour than CPython and PyPy
<http://bugs.jython.org/issue2434>

2441

sys.executable is None on standalone install, thus causing a setup()
install/build to fail <http://bugs.jython.org/issue2441>

2391

read-only attr wrongly reported <http://bugs.jython.org/issue2391>




This is *my* triage list - feel free to respond here if you think there are
bugs that should be resolved in beta 3.

In parallel work, Darjus has a branch that should resolve setuptools issues
in http://bugs.jython.org/issue2360. We will be testing that shortly. I
believe that change also has a dependency, via urllib3, on
http://bugs.jython.org/issue2434, so I have bumped that priority to urgent
(= blocking) accordingly.

Except for #2434, we have proposed fixes for all issues above. But #2434 is
also quite straightforward. So I expect that in the next week or less we
will have everything we need for beta 3.

The remaining issues that are listed as normal in the triage list are ones
we might get done in beta 3; or possibly in the RC - they seem low risk bug
fixes. Otherwise we can address in 2.7.2.

Crossing fingers!
