Process for upgrading the stdlib to a new cpython version ========================================================== .. note:: overly detailed 0. make sure your working dir is clean 1. check out the branch vendor/stdlib (for 2.7) or vendor/stdlib-3-* (for py3k) or create branch vendor/stdlib-3-* 2. upgrade the files there 2a. remove lib-python/2.7/ or lib-python/3/ 2b. copy the files from the cpython repo 2c. hg add lib-python/2.7/ or lib-python/3/ 2d. hg remove --after 2e. show copied files in cpython repo by running `hg diff --git -r v -r v Lib | grep '^copy \(from\|to\)'` 2f. fix copies / renames manually by running `hg copy --after ` for each copied file 3. update stdlib-version.txt with the output of hg -id from the cpython repo 4. commit 5. update to default / py3k 6. create a integration branch for the new stdlib (just hg branch stdlib-$version) 7. merge vendor/stdlib or vendor/stdlib-3-* 8. commit 10. fix issues 11. commit --close-branch 12. merge to default / py3k
