Python Plugin

[Jan Niklas Hasse]

Hi,

I've created a pull request for the Python plugin a few weeks ago, but haven't got a response yet: https://github.com/jenkinsci/python-plugin/pull/2

Is the plugin still being maintained?

It looks like the Python plugin isn't maintained anymore. What would I need to do to take over? I really would like to get my PR merged.

Have you attempted to contact the maintainer as listed on the Wiki page? (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Python+Plugin)

The last real code change was in 2011, which looks like it demoes modernizing source code without changing features, and before then, early 2010. So I doubt Tyler is still interested.

I wonder whether this plugin was ever actually considered 'real', or if it's just demo code. It doesn't really do anything.

It looks like ShiningPanda plugin does a lot more, but suffers from a terrible name. We should probably ask the developers to rename, or at least add 'Python' to the plugin name.

I've tried to contact him by email, but the email listed there
(ty...@slide.com) doesn't work (DNS error for slide.com).

What do you mean? We are using this plugin in production for our build
servers to execute Python code.

Actually looks quite good. But it actually does also a lot more then I
need. So I'm for keeping the Python plugin, but adding Python to
ShiningPanda's name sounds like a good idea.

Try the email address listed at https://github.com/rtyler (assuming this is the same R. Tyler)

While it may work, it doesn’t seem to do much that could be considered useful: It doesn’t look like it’s doing anything a shell build step (built into Jenkins core) with `#!/usr/bin/env python` as shebang line couldn’t/wouldn't also do (except perhaps work on Windows, not sure from reading the code).

Okay :)

Exactly: It doesn't work on Windows. Also using the shell plugin will
result in broken code highlighting. The Python plugin actually doesn't
highlight code atm, but with my PR it does.

Heh, yes it is the same R. Tyler!

Yeah, I really started this plugin originally to be a demo and learning
experience for myself. I had silly dreams of embedding Jython and exposing the
Jenkins internal object model into the script container but nothing ever came
to fruition.

Jan, if you're interested in taking over the plugin we can definitely make that
happen.
