Re: Forthcoming 2.7 beta 3

I added both of these patches requested by Michael, along with some
corresponding tests, to Jython trunk (as of
http://hg.python.org/jython/rev/5688f9c2b743)

Frank Wierzbicki plans to release another soft beta 3 later this weekend,
possibly Sunday. In the meantime, I would encourage anyone here to build
what is in trunk and run the unit tests, just so we haven't missed
anything. (The unit tests can be flakey. Build twice if necessary :)

One observation I would make is that informal processes like discussing a
bug on this list, which helps with prioritization, can work better when we
also have a submitted bug in bugs.jython.org, a patch that can be directly
applied, and the patch includes relevant tests. As we work through beta 4,
this will be increasingly important. As an alternative, pull requests
against https://bitbucket.org/jython/jython - with relevant tests - also
work, although they should never use a new branch - this breaks pushing
into hg.python.org/jython and require some manual munging to fix. I don't
want to discourage anyone from submitting a patch or using pull requests,
because that can often be very helpful regardless if we can directly apply,
but I did want to explain why it can be slower than we all would want.

Lastly, I would like to mention I did some "spring cleaning" of the bugs in
bugs.jython.org, reflected in this week's stats:

Issues counts and deltas:
  open     328 (-34)
  closed  1845 (+41)
  total   2173 ( +7)

This weekend we commemorate Memorial Day in the United States with a long
weekend. I look forward to kicking off the summer, running in the Bolder
Boulder 10 kilometer race with my family, and taking a short break from
Jython development until Tuesday.
