Development : : Python 2.7.3 and Mercurial
Posted By: Yomgui. on 2012/6/8 4:50:42
Python 2.7.3 and Mercurial 2.2.2 have been released for MorphOS.

Projects located on bitbucket:

http://bitbucket.org/yomgui/cpython/wiki/Home
http://bitbucket.org/yomgui/mercurial/wiki/Home

The 3.x version has been also ported for Blender 2.5x, but not integrated in bitbucket.org yet.

Check Download tab for binaries distributions.

Python is a shared MorphOS library.

Python sources for MorphOS is now publicly available on bitbucket.org.

As official Python repository is managed with Mercurial SCM, I've also migrated mine development by cloning the bitbucket CPython project (mirror of official).
This make easier maintenance and keep up-to-date MorphOS branch with official sources.

Obviously Mercurial has been also forked and MorphOS support added. So version 2.2.2 (latest) is supported for HTTP(S) communications (SSH comes later with suprocess Python module support).

[WARNING] Libraries compatibility:
Since this 2.7.3, libraries naming has changed to respect compatibility the policy explained in issue #10 of the on Python project bucktracker.


About me:
I (Guillaume "Yomgui" Roguez) maintain Python port on MorphOS since 2003.
I've started this project for the need to port Blender on same platform.
This port was started in 2001 from an early 2.x version and continue today.

Some notes on my iterative workflow:

Both projects use special branches names to indicated MorphOS support (see xx-morphos branches).
These branches is the main MorphOS branch always based on a official tag + MorphOS support.
They never contains latest patches and fixes from official branches, except when a new tag come.

So for example in Python project, the branch "2.7-morphos" is a branch of official "2.7" one, and currently based on revision tagged "v2.7.3". No child revisions are integrated yet, but the "2.7" branch is regulary merged with "2.7-morphos" to integrate MorphOS support in a iterative process.
When the next official tag will come (i.e. v2.7.4), MorphOS branch will be merged with.

All MorphOS releases are made from the MorphOS branch only (it's a release branch).

This workflow permits to release "official" versions of Python, plus MorphOS support, without integrate a patch containing a possible non stable new feature.

    It seems that soon every Python application will require its own, separate Python installation. What a mess.

    Hey! What's happening to my news formatting! it's fully broken now...

    stricly speaking, not "all".
    Only if minor number is changed.

    Version format is MAJOR.MINOR.REVISION

    Rules (official) are:
    - Changes in REVISION must not break C API compatibility
    - Changes in MINOR may break C API, not language.
    - Changes in MAJOR may break anything.

    So a 2.7.3, or 2.7.4, and so on use all the python27.library.

    But a branch (MAJOR.MINOR) has a quite long time life!

    The 2.5 branch exists since many years now... but it's a closed branch now.

    BTW: I'll not release a python25.library, I let the legacy python2.library (and python3.library also) as it, for thus who have installed them.

    Note also that "C:python" is always a softlink on latest installed 2.x package.
    For a 3.x it's "python3" (many scripts make this differences)

    it should, but I've not release a pre-build package, so you have to do it yourself from sources, after installed MorphOS SDK and Python SDK (inside the python 2.7.3 archive)

    python version 2.7 is compatible with scripts written in Python 2.5. problem is the only python 3.x series. But mostly scripts use 2.7 revision.

    I'll try to add support for django. I managed to run the fcgi module, but without support for threading and database. Currently there is no support for sqlite in morphos fork.
