Abstract
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
There are many great pieces of Python software developed outside of
|
||||
the Python standard library (aka, stdlib). Sometimes it makes sense
|
||||
to incorporate these externally maintained packages into the stdlib in
|
||||
order to fill a gap in the tools provided by Python.
|
||||
|
||||
But by having the packages maintained externally it means Python's
|
||||
developers do not have direct control over the packages' evolution and
|
||||
maintenance. Some package developers prefer to have bug reports and
|
||||
patches go through them first instead of being directly applied to
|
||||
Python's repository.
|
||||
|
||||
This PEP is meant to record details of packages in the stdlib that are
|
||||
maintained outside of Python's repository. Specifically, it is meant
|
||||
to keep track of any specific maintenance needs for each package. It
|
||||
also is meant to allow people to know which version of a package is
|
||||
released with which version of Python.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Externally Maintained Packages
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
The section title is the name of the package as known outside of the
|
||||
Python standard library. The "standard library name" is what the
|
||||
package is named within Python. The "contact person" is the Python
|
||||
developer in charge of maintaining the package. The
|
||||
"synchronisation history" lists what external version of the package
|
||||
was included in each version of Python (if different from the previous
|
||||
Python release).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ctypes
|
||||
------
|
||||
- Web page
|
||||
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/
|
||||
- Standard library name
|
||||
ctypes
|
||||
- Contact person
|
||||
Thomas Heller
|
||||
- Synchronisation history
|
||||
* 0.9.9.6 (2.5)
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs can be reported to either the Python tracker [#python-tracker]_
|
||||
or the ctypes tracker [#ctypes-tracker]_ and assigned to
|
||||
Thomas Heller.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ElementTree
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
- Web page
|
||||
http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm
|
||||
- Standard library name
|
||||
xml.etree
|
||||
- Contact person
|
||||
Fredrik Lundh
|
||||
- Synchronisation history
|
||||
* 1.2.6 [ElementTree] / 1.0.5 [cElementTree] (2.5)
|
||||
|
||||
Patches should not be directly applied to Python HEAD, but instead
|
||||
reported to the Python tracker [#python-tracker]_ (critical bug fixes
|
||||
are the exception). Bugs should also be reported to the Python
|
||||
tracker. Both bugs and patches should be assigned to Fredrik Lundh.
