Python recipes for Project Sputnik

Question

Hey there, my cosmonaut comrades.

I'd like to start working on a series of Python-related recipes/cookbooks for Project Sputnik, and would like to collaborate with other Pythonistas.

At first glance, Python 2.7.3 is already installed with the core ISO, but I'd like to investigate which other tools to install as a "lowest common denominator" such as pylint, pep8 and so on.

After thinking about it a little more, I wonder whether it would be worth pursuing a Python v3 profile as well, considering that Ubuntu 12.10's goal is to not ship with even Python 2.7 (v3 will be the default).

Anyhow, if anyone in the beta program (or others simply lurking in the forums) would be interested, start posting here, and I'll start incorporating them into my github fork. (others are more than welcome to make pull requests)

I'm sorta interested. What is this called on Github?

I had started a fork of the sputnik repo to add a recipe, but was told a while back that they were moving away from that repo, or moving away from chef, I can't recall.

We are still working with Chef but the projects been on hold for a bit since its been all hands on deck to get out the XPS 13 developer edition with 1080p and in Europe.

We are looking to get this started again shortly

Hi Gregory, As soon as Dell gets back to us about the community tools and recipes and such, I'll start looking into it. I hadn't anticipated it would take this long for them to get this ball rolling.
