It is available as a separate distutils based package from the Python Cheeseshop. If you need bsddb3 support in Python 3.0, you can find it here: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bsddb3 - - -Version 3.0a2 - Release Date 07-Dec-2007 ----------------------------------------- - -* The AMD64 Windows installer doesn't contain Tcl/Tk, and hence IDLE - won't work. This is because Tcl doesn't compile at all on this - platform. - -* The 32bit build for the Win32/x86 platform is optimized with PGO - (profile guided optimization). Please read Microsoft's docs for - `PGO - `_ - if you are interested in details. Preliminary benchmarks have shown - a speedup of about 10% in PyBench. Real world applications may gain - more or less speedup. - -* The Tools directory contains a copy of the 2to3 conversion tool. - Note that 2to3 itself must be run with Python 2.5! - -* SSL support is back! However, while the tests pass, the SSL code - appears to be leaking quite a bit, and there are still bugs. - We'll be working on this for the next release. - -* On Windows, Python can't be run from a directory with non ASCII chars - in its path name (`bug #1342 `_). - -* On Windows, the module doc server (pydocgui.pyw) is crashing. - -* On Windows, the menus in IDLE are broken. - -* The current releases of Cygwin and MinGW can't create extensions for - the official Python 3.0 binary. The necessary modifications to - Cygwin are already in its CVS. Look out for a new Cygwin release! - -* Otherwise, the 3.0a1 release notes below still apply, except hashlib - no longer requires openssl, and IDLE now seems fine (except on Windows). - - -Version 3.0a1 - Release Date 31-Aug-2007 ----------------------------------------- - -* SSL support is disabled. This causes test_ssl to be skipped. - The new SSL support in the 2.6 trunk (with server-side support and - certificate verification) will be ported for 3.0a2. - -* If you don't have `openssl `_ installed, or - a version older than 0.9.7, hashlib is non-functional, which means - there is no way to compute MD5 checksums. This breaks some modules. - -* Platform support is reduced. We've mostly tested on Linux, OSX, - and Windows. Solaris is also supported (somewhat). - -* There may be additional issues on 64-bit architectures. - -* There are still some open issues on Windows. - -* Some new features are very fresh, and probably contain bugs: the new - format() method on strings (PEP 3101), the strict separation of - bytes and strings, the new buffer API (PEP 3118). - -* IDLE still has some open issues. If you can't run it at all, try - "idle -n" which disables the separate subprocess for the - interpreter. -- cgit v0.12
