New submission from Matt <matthall.oxford at gmail.com>:

IDLE will not open; it does not give an error or even appear on the 
process list.

I am using Windows XP on an IBM Thinkpad. I tried the prescribed 
solution on Issue 4049, and it returned this message:

This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

I am very new to Python (and programming in general), and I have no 
idea how to fix this.

By the way, I did install the program for all users.

New submission from Jon Anglin <janglin at fortresgrand.com>:

Implements getppid in the os module on Windows systems. The getppid 
function was only available on Unix like systems, this diff patch brings 
this functionality to Windows systems.  This function will return the 
parent process Id, upon error it will return -1.  This differs from the 
Unix implementation that never fails.  Due to the way Windows returns the 
parent process Id, a never fail guarantee can not be made.  It should only 
fail in low memory conditions.  This patch is on the latest svn trunk (	
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk).  This implementation should 
port to any python version (older or newer).  I have personally tested it 
against Python 2.5.4, 2.6.2, 3.1, and the aforementioned svn trunk.

New submission from Mahmoud <saghaei at med.mui.ac.ir>:

When using a class instance as a mapping for the right hand value in a
sting format expression without conversion specifier, it seems logical
that the class has a __getitem__ method. Therefore following format
expression should raise an exception.

>>> class AClass(object):
...   pass
... 
>>> c = AClass()
>>> "a string with no conversion specifier" % c
'a string with no conversion specifier'

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

There was a report[1] on c.l.p. that python3 from the OS X Python 3.1 
dmg download at www.python.org/download/releases/3.1/ crashes on 
startup.  I can reproduce this with the python.org download (using the 
OS X Terminal) only with a bad locale setting:

newton:~ dickinsm$ LANG=utf-8 python3
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: 
Abort trap (core dumped)

The core dump isn't useful:  just lots of 'No symbol table info 
available.'

This is on OS X 10.5.7/Intel.

I can't reproduce it with either the py3k branch or the release31-maint 
branch, built from scratch.

I suspect that this has to do with the behaviour of nl_langinfo(CODESET) 
on OS X: namely, after doing (in C) setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""), the result 
of nl_langinfo(CODESET) appears to be "UTF-8" for well-defined utf-8 
locales (e.g., 'en_US.UTF-8'), "US-ASCII" for meaningless locales (e.g., 
'invalid'), but one just gets "" for locales like 'utf-8' or 'en_US'.
This in turn affects Python's locale.getpreferredencoding function. 
See also issue 2173, which may be related.

Ronald, any ideas?

New submission from ThomasH <thomas.bugzilla at gmx.net>:

I recently ran into an infinite recursion trying to unpickle a
codecs.StreamWriter object (I presume the issue would be the same for a
StreamReader).

Here is the end of the stack trace:

? File "/sw/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 330, in __getattr__? ? 
? ? return getattr(self.stream, name)
? File "/sw/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 330, in __getattr__? 
? ? return getattr(self.stream, name)?
? File "/sw/lib/python2.5/codecs.py", line 330, in __getattr__?
? ? return getattr(self.stream, name)?
 RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded 

The issue is the same under Python2.6 but the error output has changed
(see http://bugs.python.org/issue5508).

The problem is that the codecs module tries to delegate member lookup to
the underlying stream. But after unpickling, "self.stream" is not
defined, so the reference to self.stream in __getattr__ itself leads to
an invocation of __getattr__ - hence the recursion loop.

Using tools from the Pickle protocol, like __getstate__/__setstate__,
could help degrade codecs objects gracefully during pickle/unpickle
cycles. E.g. it might be enough to provide a dummy self.stream through
__setstate__.

In Python 2.6 we added support for Linux "epoll" and *BSD "kqueue" in

interface too.

What do you think?.

I volunteer to do the work, if you agree this is a feature we want to
have. I think so.

New submission from Mike <python at amadron.com>:

Hi,
I had a logging.conf file with the following logger def in it:

[logger_Builder]
level=DEBUG
handlers=consoleStderr
qualname=Builder
propogate=0

And I couldn't understand why all my log messages were coming out twice.
 It took me four hours :-\ to realise I had misspelt "propagate".

Wouldn't it be better if spurious names raised parsing exceptions?

Thanks,
Mike.

P.S. Another thing that might have helped me track this down a little
quicker is if I could have printed the name of the logger that was the
source of some output. %(name)s gives the logger that *received* the log
message.  If there was another format variable for the logger that was
the source of a log message I would have seen one message from Builder
and one message from root and it would have been more obvious what was
going on.

New submission from Alejandro <alejolp at alejolp.com>:

I'm porting a project to Py3k wich contains a "commands.py" script on
the project's module. 

Inside "a.py" there is an "import commands" statement:

/mymodule/commands.py
/mymodule/a.py

The 2to3 tool replaces the "import commands" and all the "commands"
ocurrences with the word "subprocess".

Is is possible to adapt the fix_imports fixer to detect a local import,
like the fix_import fixer (probably_a_local_import)?

This code does not behave as I expected. Removing module from 
sys.modules and from local variable causes garbage collection (?) of 
module in spite of there is an instance of a class from this module. 
Instance method test() from TestClass returns global variable contained 
in module.

import sys

module = __import__("broken_module")
instance = module.TestClass()
print("a: "+str(instance.test()))
del sys.modules["broken_module"]
print("b: "+str(instance.test()))
del module

New submission from Jan Lieskovsky <iankko at seznam.cz>:

Hello guys,

  i am experiencing segmentation fault, when trying to set the
error indicator via the PyErr_SetString() method called from C source.
This occurs for all Python exceptions, as documented in:

    http://docs.python.org/c-api/exceptions.html

Checked Python-2.6.2, also Python-2.4.1 - the crash is present
there (wondering what's wrong with the provided reproducer).

Scenario:
--------
tar xvzf pyexceptions-sample.tar.gz
cd pyexceptions-sample
make
./pyexceptionssample -> 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Note: Doesn't matter if compiled with libpython2.6.a or libpython2.4.so,
      the crash is still there.

Here is the most interesting part of the backtrace (the whole
coredump also attached).

gdb ./pyexceptions-sample core.31283

Core was generated by `./pyexceptions-sample'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
[New process 31283]

(gdb) info locals

(Looks like NULL ptr dereference in tstate = (PyThreadState *)).

Could you please have a look?

New submission from ivank <ivan at ludios.org>:

When I built Twisted, I noticed that 'python2.7 setup.py build' created
_c_urlang.so in the wrong place:

$ find . | grep _c_url
./twisted/protocols/_c_urlarg.c
./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_c_urlarg.so
./build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/twisted/protocols/_c_urlarg.o

I noticed the same problem when I built Mercurial 1.3, too.

This happens with svn r73778, but not svn r73145 (June 2). I don't know
which commit caused the problem. I don't know if the problem is in 3.x too.

New submission from Floris Bruynooghe <floris.bruynooghe at gmail.com>:

There are redundant redeclarations for PyGetSetDescr_Type and
PyMemberDescr_Type in descrobject.h.  This is an issue when compiling an
extension module with the -Wredundant-decls flag:

In file included from /usr/local/include/python3.1/Python.h:98,
                 from src/util.c:27:

/usr/local/include/python3.1/descrobject.h:72: error: previous

New submission from Matthew Leon Grinshpun <vertespain at gmail.com>:

Multiprocessing's Pool class __init__ method is written in a way that
makes it very difficult for a subclass to modify self._taskqueue. There
are very good reasons for wanting to do this - ie, making the taskqueue
block when it reaches a certain size. It seems to me that simply moving
the taskqueue assignment into _setup_queues() would do the trick.

The following usenet group discussion contains further details:

New submission from Alejandro Santos <alejolp at alejolp.com>:

The 2to3 tool shipped with Python 3.1 final doesn't handle correctly a
local package import (fixer fix_import). Test case:

$ find . -name '*.py'
./__init__.py
./a.py
./b/__init__.py
./b/m.py

$ 2to3 a.py
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: buffer
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: idioms
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: set_literal
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: ws_comma
RefactoringTool: No files need to be modified.

$ cat a.py

from b import m

m.q()


Trying to use the 2to3 tool from one level up won't work either:

$ 2to3 test2to3/a.py
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: buffer
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: idioms
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: set_literal
RefactoringTool: Skipping implicit fixer: ws_comma
RefactoringTool: No files need to be modified.

It seems to be a bug in the fixer, which is using the os.path.pathsep
constant when it should be using the os.path.sep instead. 

The probably_a_local_import function is checking if "test2to3/b:"
exists, when it should be checking against: "test2to3/b/"

Attached patch seems to be working:

New submission from Michael W. <hotdog003 at gmail.com>:

Summary:
Dictionaries should support being added to other dictionaries instead of
using update(). This should be a relatively easy fix and would make the
language more pythonic.

How to reproduce:
$ python
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> {1: 2, 3: 4} + {5: 6, 7: 8}

What happens:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'dict' and 'dict'

What should happen:
{1: 2, 3: 4, 5: 6, 7: 8}

Temporary workaround:
>>> a = {1: 2, 3: 4}
>>> b = {5: 6, 7: 8}
>>> c = a.copy()
>>> c.update(b)
>>> print c
{1: 2, 3: 4, 5: 6, 7: 8}
This is undesirable because it is not very compact and hard to read. Why
should any language take five lines of code to merge only two dictionaries?

New submission from Christoph Burgmer <cburgmer at ira.uka.de>:

Titlecase, i.e. istitle() and title(), is buggy when the string
includes combining diacritical marks.

>>> u'H\u0301ngh'.istitle()
False
>>> u'H\u0301ngh'.title()
u'H\u0301Ngh'
>>>

The string given already is in titlecase so that the following result
is expected:
>>> u'H\u0301ngh'.istitle()
True
>>> u'H\u0301ngh'.title()
u'H\u0301ngh'
>>>

UTR#21 Case Mappings defines the following algorithm for titlecase
mapping [1]:

For each character C, find the preceding character B. 
  ignore any intervening case-ignorable characters when finding B.
If B exists, and is cased 
  map C to UCD_lower(C)
Otherwise, 
  map C to UCD_title(C)

The class of 'case-ignorable' is defined under [2] and includes
Nonspacing Marks (Mn) as listed in [3]. This includes diacritcal marks
and others. These should not be handled similar to spaces which they
currently are, thus dividing words.

A patch including the above test case is attached.

New submission from Karl Magdsick <kmagdsick at hotmail.com>:

In http://docs.python.org/dev/library/struct.html,

it says
"Native byte order is big-endian or little-endian, depending on the host 
system. For example, Motorola and Sun processors are big-endian; Intel 
and DEC processors are little-endian."

This is a gross over-generalization at best.  Off the top of my head, 
current Linux kernels run the Intel Itanium in big-endian mode. (Though, 
I don't recall if there's a non-privileged instruction to flip 
endianness, system headers and system calls are defined in big-endian 
order, which is what's most relevant to the struct module.)  Sun SPARC 
v9 is bi-endian. Intel Itanium and XScale processors are bi-endian.  Dec 
Alphas are bi-endian.  (Though, I'm only aware of Cray using Alphas in 
big-endian mode.)

The quoted paragraph should name specific processors which are single-
endian (Intel Core 2, Sun SPARC v8) and/or provide a Wikipedia 
reference, rather than making incorrect statements.

Intel Itanium machines running Linux are probably the most common 
systems where this statement's inaccuracy is likely to cause confusion 
among developers.

Probaly it's not good define _POSIX_ on windows. Is it reasonable to put

New submission from Michael Newman <michael.b.newman at gmail.com>:

The "16.6.1.1. The Process class" section of the multiprocessing
documentation:
http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/multiprocessing.html
has errors in both examples.

The first example needs the indentation fixed on the "from" and "if"
lines (remove the leading spaces).

The second example has two issues: print syntax needs be updated from
2.0 to 3.0 syntax. Also, getppid is not available on win32 platforms.
Below is a corrected example, which I tested successfully on on win32
and linux:

# Python 3.1 (r31:73574, Jun 26 2009, 20:21:35) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
C:\>c:\Python31\python.exe Process_with_more_info.py
main line
module name: __main__
parent process: None
process id: 3216
function f
module name: __main__
parent process: 3216
process id: 3692
hello bob

# Python 3.0.1 (r301:69556, Jun  6 2009, 21:34:43) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
mike at www:~/files$ python3.0 Process_with_more_info.py
main line
module name: __main__
parent process: 19853
process id: 22544
function f
module name: __main__
parent process: 22544
process id: 22545
hello bob

# Start of corrected example:

from multiprocessing import Process, current_process
from sys import platform
import os

def info(title):
    print(title)
    print('module name:', __name__)
    if platform == 'win32':
      print('parent process:', current_process()._parent_pid)
    else:
      print('parent process:', os.getppid())
    print('process id:', os.getpid())

def f(name):
    info('function f')
    print('hello', name)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    info('main line')
    p = Process(target=f, args=('bob',))
    p.start()
    p.join()

# End of corrected example.

I also saw this online:
"os.getppid on Windows"
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/chrono-meter/20090325/p1
But the license of the code is not clear, and it would make the example
too confusing to insert in.

Another reference:
"Multiprocessing docs are not 3.0-ready"
http://bugs.python.org/issue3256
Looks like some print statements fixed back then, but not sure why the
examples mentioned here were not fixed.

New submission from Jason Pellerin <jpellerin at gmail.com>:

This changeset:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/c3fb79d1c036

breaks nose, as it changes the behavior of unittest.TestProgram in a
non-backwards-compatible way. Previously, when called like:

TestProgram(testRunner=None)

self.testRunner would be None when runTests() was called. Now, it is 
populated with the default TextTestRunner class in TestProgram.__init__. 
nose expects self.testRunner to be None or a runner instance in 
runTests(), and thus fails immediately with 2.6.3.

If initialization of self.testRunner could be deferred to runTests() as 
in unitttest for 2.5 and earlier, that would be ideal for nose.

On OpenBSD the file /usr/include/rpcsvc/ypclnt.h contains the following

struct ypall_callback {

	int (*foreach)(unsigned long, char *, int, char *, int, void *);
	char *data;		/* opaque pointer for use of callback fn */

New submission from Alex Martelli <aleaxit at gmail.com>:

http://docs.python.org/3.1/c-api/structures.html#PyMethodDef

says (under METH_VARARGS):

"""The first one is the self object for methods; for module functions,
it has the value given to Py_InitModule4 (or NULL if Py_InitModule was
used)."""

Py_InitModule4 is no more, and the first argument is now in fact a 
pointer to the module object. This is quite important, since the module 
object is now crucial for the get-state function that's supposed to 
replace a module's statics!

http://docs.python.org/3.1/extending/extending.html#a-simple-example
is ever wronger, since it says, after presenting spam_system's code:

"""The self argument is only used when the C function implements a
built-in method, not a function. In the example, self will always be a
NULL pointer, since we are defining a function, not a method. """

It will never be NULL; it will point to the module.

New submission from Scott David Daniels <Scott.Daniels at Acm.Org>:

timeit.main has a _very_ handy autoranging facility to pick an
appropriate number of repetitions when not specified.  The autoranging
code should be lifted to a method on Timer instances (so non-main code
can use it).  If number is specified as 0 or None, I would like to use
the results of that autoranging code in Timer.repeat and Timer.timeit.

Patch to follow.

Running 2to3 with the default options on the following code:

  from __future__ import print_function

  print(x, y)

produces the following diff:

   x = 1

If the "--nofix=future" options is specified, 2to3 produces the correct
output.

I found this while working on a fixer for removing future_builtins
imports. It seems that fixer_util.does_tree_import() is unable to find
the __future__ import node and thus causes FixPrint to be run instead of
being skipped.

It looks like either array's 'w' support got lost in a merge, or the
documentation is just wrong.

This module defines an object type which can efficiently represent
an array of basic values: characters, integers, floating point
numbers.  Arrays are sequence types and behave very much like lists,
except that the type of objects stored in them is constrained.  The
type is specified at object creation time by using a type code, which
is a single character.  The following type codes are defined:

    Type code   C Type             Minimum size in bytes 
    'b'         signed integer     1 
    'B'         unsigned integer   1

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue6431] Fraction fails equality test with a
	user-defined type

New submission from Case Van Horsen <casevh at gmail.com>:

I've ported the GMPY module to Python 3 and found a problem comparing
Fraction to gmpy.mpq. mpq is the rational type in gmpy and knows how to
convert a Fraction into an mpq. All operations appear to work properly
except "Fraction == mpq".

"mpq == Fraction" does work correctly. gmpy's rich comparison routine
recognizes the other argument as Fraction and converts to an mpq value
properly. However, when "Fraction == mpq" is done, the Fraction argument
is converted to a float before gmpy's rich comparison is called.

The __eq__ routine in fractions.py is:

    def __eq__(a, b):
        """a == b"""
        if isinstance(b, numbers.Rational):
            return (a._numerator == b.numerator and
                    a._denominator == b.denominator)
        if isinstance(b, numbers.Complex) and b.imag == 0:
            b = b.real
        if isinstance(b, float):
            return a == a.from_float(b)
        else:
            # XXX: If b.__eq__ is implemented like this method, it may
            # give the wrong answer after float(a) changes a's
            # value. Better ways of doing this are welcome.
            return float(a) == b

Shouldn't __eq__ return NotImplemented if it doesn't know how to handle
the other argument? I changed "return float(a) == b" to "return
NotImplemented" and GMPY and Python's test suite passed all tests.

I used the same logic for comparisons between gmpy.mpf and Decimal and
they all work correctly. Decimal does return NotImplemented when it
can't convert the other argument.

(GMPY 1.10 alpha2 fails due to this issue.)

New submission from Eric Eisner <ede at mit.edu>:

In multiprocessing, if you give a pool.map a zero-length iterator and
specify a nonzero chunksize, the process hangs indefinitely. Example:

import multiprocessing
pool = multiprocessing.Pool()
pool.map(len, [], chunksize=1)
# hang forever

Attached simple testcase and simple fix. I observed this behavior on 2.6
and 3.1, but only verified the patch on 3.1. Unless the line numbers
changed it will probably fix it on 2.6 as well.

New submission from segfault42 <brice.nahum at free.fr>:

Hello, 

I have a problem with the librairy zipfile.py
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/zipfile.py?revision=73565&view=markup


Zinfo structure limit the size of a file to an int max value with the
ZIP64_LIMIT value ( equal to "(1 << 31) - 1 " so to 2147483647 . 

The problem is happening when you write a big file in the line 1095 : 

self.fp.write(struct.pack("<lLL", zinfo.CRC, zinfo.compress_size,
                 zinfo.file_size))

zinfo.file_size is limited to a int  size and if you have a file bigger
than ZIP64_LIMIT you make a buffer overflow even if you set the flag
allowZip64 to true.

New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar <sridharr at activestate.com>:

In Formatter.format():

           # Cache the traceback text to avoid converting it multiple 
times
            # (it's constant anyway)
            if not record.exc_text:
                record.exc_text = self.formatException(record.exc_info)

The result must ideally be cache on the formatter object (self) itself 
rather than the record object. Because, record object is reused in 
multiple handlers .. thus multiple formatters. If the first formatter, 
caches the traceback text, then subsequent formatters will use the same 
even though of them is apparently a custom Formatter with overridden 
`formatException`.

New submission from Mark Summerfield <mark at qtrac.eu>:

When I execute the following command line (Linux, Fedora 10) using
Python 2.5 or 2.6, I get a .cover file:

python2.5 -m trace --count MyModule.py

But when I do this with Python 3.0 or 3.1, no .cover file is output.

I didn't notice anything in the documentation suggesting a change in
behaviour, but I'm not familiar with this module, so perhaps I've missed
something.

string.maketrans has been deprecated in 3.x in favor of the more
specific bytes.maketrans and str.maketrans (see issue5675). It would be
nice if 2to3 would automatically translate this to one of those two
(probably str.maketrans).

I briefly looked at lib2to3/fixes/fix_renames.py, but this only seems to
convert things of the form module.X to module.Y. Is there another script
that deals with these jumping-around functions?

New submission from Adam Ginsburg <keflavich at gmail.com>:

While it is possible to compile 64 bit python on Mac OS X, the default
tcl/tk is NOT 64 bit.  If you do install a 64 bit version of tcl/tk,
python still will not find it - lines 1503-1515 prevent it:

        if 'x86_64' in archs or 'ppc64' in archs:
            try:
                archs.remove('x86_64')
            except ValueError:
                pass
            try:
                archs.remove('ppc64')
            except ValueError:
                pass

            for a in archs:
                frameworks.append('-arch')
                frameworks.append(a)


I was able to successfully get 64 bit tkinter working by commenting out
these lines as suggested by Ned Deily.

Ronald Oussoren suggests:
"BTW. The correct fix would be to add a probe to setup.py that detects
if Tcl/Tk was build with 64-bit support or not."

Not a big deal, but these two methods were backwards in AttributesImpl

of my code on Python 2.6.0, so I decided to whip up a patch.

(Of course, this is fixed in Py3k since has_key() got nuked.)

New submission from Andrew Ziem <ahz001 at gmail.com>:

QueryValueEx only returns one string when the contents are double null
terminated, yet QueryValueEx works when the string is singly null
terminated.

In Python 2.5.4 on Windows XP Sp3, the first key-value only returns the
first part up to \0\0.

New submission from Max Arnold <lwarxx at gmail.com>:

I use syslog message routing mechanism to log high-priority messages
from my python code to separate file.  When exceptions are logged, only
first line routed to specified file, and the rest goes in /var/log/messages.

Such problem exists when SyslogHandler instantiated with "/dev/log".

If logging is performed to remote host via udp socket, then exception
logged as one long string with all lines being concatenated.

Probably multiline log messages should be automatically splitted and
logged line-by-line with the same facility, severity and program name.
Also it will be good to have special formatter tag which expands as
empty string in first logged line, and as user-defined string in
remaining ones. This can simplify automated log analysis.

New submission from OG7 <onyxg7 at users.sourceforge.net>:

communicate is often used in one-liners, but becomes a four-liner if you
want to check the process exit status. Adding a check parameter would
make it more convenient to get things right and write non-buggy code.

The CalledProcessError requires a cmd argument, which means also adding
a cmd member to Popen objects.

Based on some experience with my own code, I have found out that the
function import_spam() fails when the module is not importable. In this
case, it returns 0, although it should return -1 when an error occurs.

This causes a standalone program to crash if it has a main() function like:

    Py_Initialize();
    if (import_spam() < 0) {
        Py_Finalize();
        return 1;
    }
    Py_Finalize();

The function should return -1, so we can know there is an error and are
able to handle it.

	that 'path' must be a	list

New submission from Jordan Bettis <jordanb at hafdconsulting.com>:

Hi. I just spent a while fighting with imp.find_module because I was
trying to pass the path as a string, rather than a string embedded in a
list:

result = find_module('mod', '/path')

rather than

result = find_module('mod', ['/path'])

The issue is compounded by an incredibly unhelpful error message:

ImportError: No frozen submodule named /path.mod

Now the documentation *does* say that path should be a list, if you read
it carefully, so perhaps it was just my reading comprehension. But doing
a google search I found a discussion from 2006 along the same lines:

http://www.techlists.org/archives/programming/pythonlist/2006-01/msg01445.shtml

So I thought it might be good to clarify that a string will not work.
Perhaps the wording could be changed to something like this:


   Try to find the module *name* on the search path *path*.  The
   *path* argument is a list of directory names. Each directory is
   searched for files with any of the suffixes returned
   by :func:`get_suffixes` above.  Invalid names in the list are
   silently ignored (but all list items must be strings).  If
   *path* is omitted or ``None``, the list of directory names
   given by ``sys.path`` is searched, but first it searches a few
   special places: it tries to find a built-in module with the
   given name (:const:`C_BUILTIN`), then a frozen
   module (:const:`PY_FROZEN`), and on some systems some other
   places are looked in as well (on Windows, it looks in the
   registry which may point to a specific file).

I think what is confusing is the conditional about the type of 'path',
The possibilities are 'list' or 'not present' (or None) but when I read
it I think I saw the 'not present' option as being implicit, and the
conditional implying that it could be a string or a list of strings.
>From the discussion above it seems like the other person had the same
trouble, so removing the conditional should be enough to make it clear
that path *must* be a list if it exists.

**..**, is that some ReST markup that was not supposed to be there?
4) in http://www.python.org/dev/intro/ the IRC channels are not
mentioned (#python, #python-dev, #python-docs);
5) in the same page there's an XXX that should be fixed;
6) in the following line there's a "what ever" that should probably be
"whatever";
7) always there, a link to http://www.python.org/psf/donations/ should
be added in the second last paragraph;
8) in http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/ there should probably be 3.2
in "(what will become 3.1)";
9) is http://www.python.org/dev/summary/ still alive?
10) in the last list of links in http://www.python.org/dev/ the trailing
'/' are missing, but they are present in the menu on the left;

(I'm not sure this is the right place where to report this.)

New submission from Erik Sandberg <sandberg at virtutech.com>:

On Linux, I get the following:

>>> import os
>>> os.path.normpath(u'/')
'/'

I would expect unicode to be mapped to unicode. os.path.abspath() has
the same problem, see also issue 3426.

This causes problems in my project, where a function requires its
parameters to be Unicode. Do the standard Python library functions that
operate on strings guarantee anything in general with respect to
conserving unicode? Can I make any assumption as to which codec was used
to encode the str returned from normpath?

The bug tracker is not really a place to ask questions. Please ask them
on python-list or elsewhere, or read the source code of normpath.

New submission from Jamal Fanaian <jfanaian at gmail.com>:

While testing this bug report in Gwibber
https://bugs.launchpad.net/gwibber/+bug/397297 I found that using
urllib2.Request() with a long authorization would cause it to error and
not authenticate. I'm not sure if it is because the header wasn't being
passed or any other issue.

The header would fail when the value part of the authorization string
was 89 characters.

I was able to resolve the issue by using urllib2.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
and urllib2.install_opener() to install it, instead of passing the
Authorization header directly to urllib2.Request().

Please let me know if I can provide more information to test the issue.

New submission from dauerbaustelle <jonas at lophus.org>:

The locale.D_* and locale.T_* attributes are ints with weird values
instead of strings (see documentation[1]).

Example:


>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.utf8')
'en_US.utf8'
>>> locale.D_T_FMT
131112
>>> locale.D_FMT
131113
>>> locale.T_FMT
131114
>>> locale.T_FMT_AMPM
131115

It seems like the .DAY_* stuff is also broken:
>>> locale.DAY_1
131079
>>> locale.DAY_2
131080
>>> locale.DAY_7
131085

And many other variables:
>>> locale.THOUSEP
65537

The documentation says that every of these variables should be strings.

New submission from Dariusz Walczak <dariusz.walczak at gmail.com>:

It's possible to lose data piped through standard output and/or error
streams when large ammounts of data are transfered.

Reproduction:
1) Process A spawns process B with all standard I/O pipes and transfers
large ammount of data to it (100kB in my sample).
2) Process B exits very early (doesn't process all stdin data) and puts
large amount of data into its stderr or stdout streams.
3) IOError/OSError exception if errno variable set to errno.EPIPE is
raised on process A side.

Bug:
When the exception is catched Popen object's stdout and stderr members
may not contain data put into stderr/stdout streams by process B.

Note:
Described behaviour can be observed in Python 2.6.1 on FreeBSD 7.2 as
well as on Windows XP (Pro x64, SP2, up to date).

Real life example of such early end of process B:
openssl smime -verify -CApath /some/dir with large, unsigned email.

I attach simple reproduction code (execute sender.py script).

New submission from Sean <sean.davis15 at googlemail.com>:

Using "logging" module I can do the following:

    f = logging.Formatter("%(levelname)s: %(name)s: %(message)s")
    h = logging.StreamHandler()
    h.setLevel(logging.NOTSET)
    h.setFormatter(f)
    l = logging.getLogger()
    l.addHandler(h)

    l2 = logging.getLogger('x.y.z')
    l2.setLevel(logging.INFO)
    print len(l2.handlers)

    l2.critical('critical')
    l2.error('error')
    l2.warning('warning')
    l2.info('info')
    l2.debug('debug')

Note, the l2(x.y.z) logger does not have a handler (it just propagates
to the l(root) logger's handler) but the l2 logger does have a different
level set.

When I try to do this with logging.config.fileConfig it fails saying I
have not specified a handler for the x.y.z logger.  But I don't want to
specify a handler, I just want to set the level and have it propagate up
the hierarchy.

Am I doing something wrong?

Sean.

P.S. Here is the config file:

[loggers]
keys=root,xyz

[handlers]
keys=consoleStderr

[formatters]
keys=simpleFormatter

[logger_root]
level=NOTSET
handlers=consoleStderr

[logger_xyz]
level=DEBUG
qualname=x.y.z

[handler_consoleStderr]
class=StreamHandler
level=NOTSET
formatter=simpleFormatter
args=(sys.stderr,)

[formatter_simpleFormatter]
%(levelname)s: %(name)s: %(message)s

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

Another apparent fallout from r73638 (issue 6267).  On my gentoo system
I am currently seeing a consistent failure in test_xmlrpc of 'test_two'
in KeepaliveServerTestCase (as is the Gentoo buildbot).  I made the
assert the new GreaterEqual and stuck just a tad bit of extra tracing in
(printing the contents of myRequests to stderr) and this is what I see:

rdmurray at partner:~/python/trunk>./python -m test.regrtest test_xmlrpc
Could not find '/home/rdmurray/python/trunk/Lib/test' in sys.path to
remove it
test_xmlrpc
[['POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1\r\n']]
test test_xmlrpc failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/rdmurray/python/trunk/Lib/test/test_xmlrpc.py", line 550,
in test_two
    self.assertGreaterEqual(len(self.RequestHandler.myRequests[-1]), 2)
AssertionError: 1 not greater than or equal to 2

1 test failed:
    test_xmlrpc

The test appears to hit a time out.

If there are any tests you want me to run let me know.  Oddly enough I'm
not seeing this one on 3.2.

New submission from Stuart Mentzer <sgm at objexx.com>:

Freezing apps with multiprocessing on Windows seems to be broken.

First, in get_command_line in multiprocessing/forking.py I find that
this code:

        if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
            return [sys.executable, '--multiprocessing-fork']
        else:
            prog = 'from multiprocessing.forking import main; main()'
            return [_python_exe, '-c', prog, '--multiprocessing-fork']

should be:

        elif getattr(sys, 'frozen', False) and not WINEXE:
            return [sys.executable, '--multiprocessing-fork']
        else:
            prog = 'from multiprocessing.forking import main; main()'
            return [_python_exe, '-c', prog, '--multiprocessing-fork']

in order for the _python_exe set with multiprocessing.set_executable to
be used rather than your app's exe.

Second, I can then get a working "frozen" package if I include
pythonw.exe (and use set_executable to point to it) and a subset of
Python's Lib directory that my process needs to call. If this is as
intended then it needs to be documented. This may just be a flaw in py2exe.

Third, the multiprocessing documentation page description for
set_executable has example code with the older setExecutable call.

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

The buildbots periodically report failures in the bsddb3 test suite. 
These are not reproducible and presumably are timing-based.  It would be
best if the tests could be made to pass consistently, to make the
buildbot output more useful.

Here is one such failure that I see on a semi-regular basis on trunk
(this happens in my own tests runs as well, also not consistently):

test_bsddb3
Berkeley DB 4.7.25: (June 30, 2009)
Test path prefix:  /tmp/z-test_bsddb3-11362

line 134, in test01_basic_replication
    self.assertTrue(time.time()<timeout)
AssertionError: False is not True

I will add others here as I capture examples.

New submission from Kevin Walzer <wordtech at users.sourceforge.net>:

In running IDLE against a build of Tk-Cocoa (8.5.7) on OS X, the edit and 
format menus sometimes hang and require a force-quit of IDLE. This happens 
when I try to paste text, and also when trying to format selections of 
text with indentation, etc. I've looked closely at the code for 
Bindings.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py, and macOSXSupport.py, and can 
find no obvious reason for these problems. I am confident that the problem 
is not with Tk-Cocoa itself, as copy, pasting, etc. in a basic Tkinter 
text widget presents no problems, but resides instead somewhere in IDLE's 
code and how it interacts with the Tk-Cocoa build. I'm testing against 
Python 2.6.2.

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

I worked for a while tracking down a mysterious failure in
test_normalization on my machine.  I eventually discovered that a clean
checkout did not exhibit the problem.  A distclean on my original
checkout did not fix the problem.  By doing a diff I finally figured out
that the NormalizationTest.txt file is (a) downloaded the first time the
test is run and (b) not removed afterward and (c) not removed by distclean.

How I wound up with a truncated file I don't know, nor am I quite sure
what the best solution to this little confusion is.  It seems very odd
that a file is dumped and left in the CWD by a test.

Only in this function a failure to get a value using

New submission from Christoph Gohlke <cgohlke at uci.edu>:

On Windows Vista 64-bit, when running Python 2.6.2 (32 or 64 bit) from a
network share, e.g. \\Server\Share\python26\python.exe,
importing Tkinter fails with "WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot
find the path specified". See session output below for traceback.

This is due to incomplete support for long UNC (UNCW) paths such as
\\?\UNC\Server\Share\File in FixTk.py. 

The attached patch solves this issue.

New submission from Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com>:

In Python 2.6, socket.error was changed to be a child class of IOError
[1]. IOError derives from EnvironmentError [2], and EnvironmentError
accepts a 2-tuple used to set the values of the errno and strerror
attributes respectively [3].
Apparently the IOError raised by the socket module are instantiated
passing (always?) 'socket error' as first arg and an instance of
socket.gaierror, socket.timeout or socket.herror (and maybe others) as
second arg.
The errno attributes ends up being a string (and not a number) and the
strerror another exception (and not a str):

>>> import socket
>>> from urllib import urlopen
>>> socket.setdefaulttimeout(0.01)
>>> try: urlopen('http://www.python.org')
... except Exception, e: err1 = e
...
>>> err1
IOError('socket error', timeout('timed out',))
>>> err1.errno
'socket error'
>>> err1.strerror
timeout('timed out',)
>>> err1.strerror.errno
>>> err1.strerror.strerror
>>>

>>> try: urlopen('http://www.pythonfoobarbaz.org')
... except Exception, e: err2 = e
...
>>> err2
IOError('socket error', gaierror(11001, 'getaddrinfo failed'))
>>> err1.errno
'socket error'
>>> err1.strerror
timeout('timed out',)
>>> err1.strerror.errno
>>> err2.errno
'socket error'
>>> err2.strerror
gaierror(11001, 'getaddrinfo failed')
>>> err2.strerror.errno
11001
>>> err2.strerror.strerror
'getaddrinfo failed'

The 'socket error' strings doesn't provide any useful information
(herror, gaierror and timeout are already subclasses of socket.error)
and it results in confusing messages like:
IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed

The relevant information is not accessible directly on the error but it
is in err.strerror/err.args[1].

IMHO the first arg should be the errno (if it's available) and the
second the message (e.g. 'getaddrinfo failed' or 'timed out').

The doc of socket.error [1] should be also changed because it says:
"The accompanying value is either a string telling what went wrong or a
pair (errno, string) representing an error returned by a system call,
similar to the value accompanying os.error." (and this is actually what
I'd like it to be, but right now it's something different.)

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

I can't quite sort this out, because it's difficult to see what is
intended. The documentation of xml.etree.ElementTree (19.11 in the
Library doc) uses terms like "iterator", "tree iterator", "iterable",
"list" in vague and perhaps not quite accurate ways. I can't tell from
the documentation which functions/methods return lists, which return a
generator, which return an unspecified kind of iterable, and so on.
Moreover, the results are different using ElementTree than they are
using cElementTree. In particular, getiterator() returns a list in
ElementTree and a generator in cElementTree. This can make a substantial
difference in performance when iterating over a large number of nodes
(in addition to cElementTree's parsing being what appears to be about
10x faster).

I think someone should go over the page and sort this out and make it
clear what the user can expect. (I don't think it's fair to
overgeneralize to things like "iterables" if the module is really meant
to be making a commitment to a list or a generator.) I also think that
the differences in the results of methods returned in the Python and C
versions of the module should be highlighted.

I stumbled on this trying to parses and extract individual bits of
information out of large XML files. I full well realize there are better
ways to do this (SAX, e.g.) and better ways to search than just iterate
over all the tags of the type I'm interested in, but I should still know
what to expect from ElementTree, especially because it is so wonderful!

New submission from Iain Wade <iwade at optusnet.com.au>:

Test vectors are in the following draft rfc:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nystrom-smime-hmac-sha

The problem is that hmac.py has a hard-coded block size of 64, while 
SHA-384 and SHA-512 have a 128-byte block size.

Suggested fix is either:

a/ have the various hashlib libraries export block size (like they 
currently do for digest_size).

b/ parameterize blocksize to the constructor so that users can override.

c/ I have no third suggestion.

I have made available a codified version of the test vectors for your 
convenience.

New submission from Hagen F?rstenau <hfuerstenau at gmx.net>:

I think the following error messages are inconsistent and confusing:

>>> def f(a, b): pass
...
>>> f(a=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: f() takes exactly 2 non-keyword positional arguments (1 given)
>>> f(b=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: f() takes exactly 2 non-keyword positional arguments (0 given)


Strictly speaking, no positional arguments are given in either case, so
it should say "(0 given)" in both cases. On the other hand, the given
keyword arguments are filled into the positional argument slots, so
stating something like "(1 missing)" or "(1 unspecified)" in both cases
seems to make more sense. Any opinions?

There's a mistake in the code snippet:

>>> freshfruit = ['  banana', '  loganberry ', 'passion fruit  ']
>>> [weapon.strip() for weapon in freshfruit]
['banana', 'loganberry', 'passion fruit']


The second line should be:
>>> [fruit.strip() for fruit in freshfruit]
['banana', 'loganberry', 'passion fruit']


The old code snippet had weapons as items which many people didn't like,
so the code snippet was changed into a friendlier version. Please fix
this code snippet so that weapons are not involved here, even though the
code is not broken. Thank you.

New submission from Jose Fonseca <jose.r.fonseca at gmail.com>:

MSVCRT's implementation of _spawnve, _spawnvpe, or any version that
takes an environ as paramater is not thread-safe, because it stores a
temporary environment string into a global variable.

_spawnve, _spawnvpe, and friends call a function named _cenvarg which
concatenate the environment strings into a global variable called
_aenvptr, which gets free'd and zero'd after each invocation.

This was causing random build failures in scons when parallel build (-j)
was enabled.

The sample application evidences this problem. It also includes a simple
workaround in python, by acquiring a global lock around os.spawnve, and
simulating P_WAIT with P_NOWAIT to avoid holding the global lock while
the child process is running. I believe something along these lines
should be done for CPython on Windows.

New submission from Mihai Ibanescu <mihai.ibanescu at gmail.com>:

If one changes from one timezone to another within the same python
process, and if one tries to parse a time string that includes the
timezone, the library malfunctions.

See attached script for a reproducer.

The problem is that, even though time.tzset() is called, the LocaleTime
persisted in the TimeRE global is not reset. In my example, the EDT
timezone name, compiled from the previous TZ variable, is not valid
anymore in the 'Pacific/Fiji' timezone.

To witness the behavior, run the attached script with no arguments. It
will parse the time in the America/New_York timezone just fine.

Then run it with an argument (like python ttime.py 1). It will first
prime the _strptime cache in the Pacific/Fiji timezone, then attempt to
parse the same time string in the America/New_York timezone.

Finally, you can change the "if 0" to "if 1" for working around the problem.

This has been verified in 2.4.4 and 2.6.1 (did not have a chance to
verify it against python 2.6.2 yet).

New submission from John Burnett <python at johnburnett.com>:

The functions _syscmd_uname and _syscmd_file are hard-coded to pipe
stderr to "/dev/null", as opposed to os.devnull.  On Windows, this has
the effect of creating a file called "null" to a local "dev" directory
(if the directory exists).

Attached is a fix.  While the _syscmd_uname change isn't entirely
necessary on Windows due to its sys.platform check, I changed both
functions for consistency (and I'm not sure what other platforms might
not have a "/dev/null" either).

I'm writing a little pre-processor that just parses python snippets out
of a file and passes them to a code.InteractiveInterpreter, and I'm
noticing some somewhat nasty stuff in how runsource handles some code.

New submission from Julian Andres Klode <jak at jak-linux.org>:

The documentation states that m_size should be -1 if no additional
memory is needed. But this causes the objects inside the module to not
be deallocated at all.

The attached module (test) stores an object of a type 'Test', which
prints "Deallocation is happening" in it's tp_dealloc. If m_size in the
TestModule is set to -1, this is never reached. If it is 0, it is reached.

There is currently no test_mailcap or any other standalone unit test for

the module.

I would like to be assigned to work on this patch.

(Why am I assigning myself to write tests for a small, older module? I'm
a complete noob to the Python-Dev community and I'm getting my feet wet
with this. Let me know if you have any advice or if I'm doing something
wrong.)

New submission from Travis H. <travis+w-python.org at subspacefield.org>:

The zlib C library has the capability to indicate the end of a
compressed stream by returning a Z_STREAM_END from a call to inflate.

This allows uncompressed data to follow some compressed data.  It is
necessary to know when the end of the compressed stream has been reached
so that one can query the "unused_data" attribute.

However, there is no way for python to know that the end of a compressed
stream has been reached.

I will shortly be submitting a small patch that creates a python integer
attribute called "is_finished" which evaluates to 1 when the end of a
compressed stream has been reached.

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

At the end of the introduction page of the library documentation  there
is a strange suggestion to begin with "Built-in Objects" as a starting
point. The "Built-in Objects" page consists of two paragraphs that will
surely mystify people new to Python. I'm not sure where it was supposed
to point -- built-in functions? built-in types? But surely not "Built-in
Objects"?

Or another interpretation, which on deeper investigation, strikes me as
the correct one: "Built-in Objects", which references tables, operators,
etc. that don't appear on that page, is simply an introduction to
"Built-in Types", or an introduction to all the subsequent chapters. In
that case, I see the challenge for structuring the top-level chapters of
the library documentation, but perhaps these two paragraphs could simply
be moved to the introduction and the "Built-in Objects" eliminated.
Besides, aren't built-in functions and constants, which come before this
page, built-in objects too?

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue6488] ElementTree documentation refers to
	"path" with no	explanation, and inconsistently
In-Reply-To: <1247619329.11.0.425030564778.issue6488@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>
Message-ID: <1247619329.11.0.425030564778.issue6488@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

The documentation of ElementTree mentions "path" in describing the
arguments to certain methods. However, "path" is never defined. I
realize that a "path" is (at least a partial implementation of) an
XPath, but there's nothing in the documentation to suggest that to
someone who is not aware of XPath. I also realize that there is a
reference to the external ElementTree documentation, and that
ElementTree support for XPath is documented there. I think "path" should
at least be clarified with a reference that says something like "As used
here the term 'path' refers to ElementTree's support for the XML Path
Language (XPath); see
see http://effbot.org/zone/element-xpath.htm fordetails"

Next, a swarm of nits:

The documentation of the Element methods find, findall, and findtext say
that their arguments can be a tag name or path. (Using the same wording,
which makes it strange that the argument to findtext is called
"condition" while the argument to the other two methods are called
"match". I'm sure there's something important about this distinction,
but I can't figure it out from the documentation.

The documentation of the corresponding methods of ElementTree call the
arguments "path", rather than "tag" or "condition". The real problem is
that these methods are documented with respect to the element(s) "with
the given tag". [The "the" is missing from the documentation of
ElementTree.find and findall.] The documentation says these methods are
the same as calling the corresponding method on getroot(), but whereas
the Element methods refer to tag name or path, the ElementTree methods,
although they call their arguments "path", only mention tag names.
Finally, the ElementTree methods say "path is the [top-level] element to
look for", which, it seems to me, is redundant given the first sentence
of each of each method's documentation.

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

Documentation of ElementTree.Element.getiterator implies element will
always be included, but it is only included if it matches. (It says
"creates a tree iterator with the current element as the root" and also
says, ambiguously, "iterates over this element and all the elements
below it that match the given tag".)

I also feel that it is unclear to leave the term "match" undescribed.
Especially with '*' explicitly mentioned as a possibility, it looks like
one could specify, say, 'Thing*' and get all elements whose tag names
begin with 'Thing', which does not appear to be the case. Also, using
the term "match" is confusing if one understands the term to mean match
an XPath, as (implicitly) used elsewhere in the document, unless match
also means an XPath here too, which I don't think it does. I think
"match" should be reserved for XPath matching in this documentation, and
"equals" for when that is the actual test performed, such as, I think,
in getiterator.

New submission from krawyoti <krawyoti at yahoo.com>:

The documentation in Python 2.6 claims os.popen is deprecated [1]. This
is probably a false claim. I think that at some point os.popen got
confused with os.popen2, os.popen3, os.popen4 and the popen2 module, all
of which are correctly deprecated.

I bring three forward three pieces of evidence that os.popen is *not*
deprecated:

i) In Python 3.1, unlike the others, os.popen is still present and is
not even deprecated. [2]

ii) Unlike the others, using os.popen does not raise a DeprecationWarning;

iii) Unlike the others, its implementation is lifted straight from the
posix module.

New submission from Walter Arrighetti <riemann.chaos at gmail.com>:

In the Digital Intermediate (DI) post-production world, as well as in
digital cinema/film technologies, video frames -especially those coming
from a film scanner- are stored in sequences of image files, whose two
primary formats are the Digital Picture Exchange (DPX,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DPX) and the Kodak Cineon
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cineon).
This proposal of lines addiction only to imghdr module allows to
properly test DPX and Cineon files for validity, with imghdr.what()
returning either 'dpx' or 'cin' strings if either is found.

>From teh docs:

http://docs.python.org/c-api/veryhigh.html

int Py_Main(int argc, char **argv)?

    The main program for the standard interpreter. This is made
available for programs which embed Python. The argc and argv parameters
should be prepared exactly as those which are passed to a C program?s
main() function. It is important to note that the argument list may be
modified (but the contents of the strings pointed to by the argument
list are not). The return value will be the integer passed to the
sys.exit() function, 1 if the interpreter exits due to an exception, or
2 if the parameter list does not represent a valid Python command line.

    Note that if an otherwise unhandled SystemError is raised, this
function will not return 1, but exit the process, as long as
Py_InspectFlag is not set.

Py_Main() still does not return on SystemExit.

New submission from Ezio Melotti <ezio.melotti at gmail.com>:

I'm working on #6026 and I noticed that the patch for #6267 introduced
an "import gzip" in Lib/xmlrpclib.py in r73638.
gzip tries to import zlib, and if it's not available the import fails.
This led to 3 new tests failures in the trunk: test_xmlrpc,
test_docxmlrpc and test_multiprocessing.
This also mean that the modules xmlrpclib, DocXMLRPCServer and
SimpleXMLRPCServer (and possibly others) cannot be imported anymore if
zlib is not available (they used to work on 2.6).

xmlrpclib should check if the "import gzip" fails and disable the new
gzip-related features (raising an error only when someone tries to use
them).

I don't know if this check can be moved directly on gzip but it seems
unlikely.

New submission from Graham Dumpleton <Graham.Dumpleton at gmail.com>:

When using Python 3.1 for Apache/mod_wsgi (3.0c4) on Windows, Apache will 
crash on startup because Python is forcing the process to exit with:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp0

I first mentioned this on issue6393, but have now created it as a separate 
issue as appears to be distinct from the issue on MacOS X, athough possibly 
related.

In the Windows case there is actually an encoding, that of 'cp0' where as on 
MacOS X, the encoding name was empty.

The same mod_wsgi code works fine under Python 3.1 on MacOS X.

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

dis.dis(ob) currently accepts "a module, a class, a method, a function,
or a code object." But for most uses I have seen on python-list, people
start with a code snippet. They must then wrap that in a function or
remember (or lookup) a call such as compile(code, '', 'exec') to make a
code object. I propose that dis do the latter automatically. Dis already
has to branch on the input class, so I assume adding another branch
should not be difficult.

On the Python ideas list, Steven D'Aprano raised the issue of 'exec'
versus 'single' versus 'eval'. As far as dis is concerned, there seems
to be no difference between 'exec' and 'single'.

>>> dis(compile('x = x+1', '', 'single'))
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (x) 
              3 LOAD_CONST               0 (1) 
              6 BINARY_ADD           
              7 STORE_NAME               0 (x) 
             10 LOAD_CONST               1 (None) 
             13 RETURN_VALUE         

>>> dis(compile('x = x+1', '', 'exec'))
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (x) 
              3 LOAD_CONST               0 (1) 
              6 BINARY_ADD           
              7 STORE_NAME               0 (x) 
             10 LOAD_CONST               1 (None) 
             13 RETURN_VALUE         

Using 'exec' instead of 'eval' adds two spurious, but easily ignored, lines.

>>> dis(compile('x+1','', 'eval'))
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (x) 
              3 LOAD_CONST               0 (1) 
              6 BINARY_ADD           
              7 RETURN_VALUE    
     
>>> dis(compile('x+1', '', 'exec'))
  1           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (x) 
              3 LOAD_CONST               0 (1) 
              6 BINARY_ADD           
              7 POP_TOP              
              8 LOAD_CONST               1 (None) 
             11 RETURN_VALUE         

Between the current doc sentences "For a single code sequence, it prints
one line per bytecode instruction." and "If no object is provided, it
disassembles the last traceback." I propose adding the following two
sentences.

"Strings are first compiled as statements to code objects with
compile(string,'','exec'). For expressions, this adds a spurious POP_TOP
and LOAD_CONST at the end."

'compile' should be cross-referenced to its listing under built-in
functions.

New submission from Travis H. <travis+w-python.org at subspacefield.org>:

Python should expose setresuid in the same module that exposes setuid.

The reason why is complicated, but is best explained here:

http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~daw/papers/setuid-usenix02.pdf

I might work on a patch to implement this.

New submission from Winfried Plappert <Winfried.Plappert at gmx.de>:

When running the attached program, it will fail with above message on
Control-2 only! All other control keys work happily.

The same program under MS-Windows seems to work (I am under Linux, so I
can't switch easily). 

My version of Python:
Python 3.1 (r31:73572, Jul 18 2009, 08:33:59) 
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2

uname -a: Linux lin-wpl 2.6.28-13-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 30
19:49:51 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Do I have to replace the line:  
            self.c.bind('<Control-Key-' + str(i) + '>',
                lambda x=str(i): self.key_control_num(x))

with something different? str->unicode, bytes???

This does not help either:
bytes("<Control-Key-" + str(i) + ">", 'utf-8')

This program has been converted via 2to3.

New submission from Jason Tiller <jason at sonos.org>:

The example provided in section 28.5.4 (warnings) of the Standard
Library documentation fails.  This example assumes that the context
manager instance ('w' in "warnings.catch_warnings(record=True) as w")
supplies a list of objects, each of which has a data attribute
'.category' that is an instance.  However, the '.category' data
attribute is actually a class.

The example code fails in this way on 2.6.2:

-----
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bob.py", line 14, in <module>
    assert isinstance(w[-1].category, DeprecationWarning)
AssertionError
-----

Replacing 'isinstance' with 'issubclass' appears to satisfy the assertion.

I don't really know what's happening in the middle case.  The first case

The load_tests feature will be new in 2.7.  Earlier in the unittest
documentation, there's a mention that loadTestsFromModule was changed in
2.7 to add support for load_tests.  However, the main documentation for
load_tests doesn't say anything about this.  It would be good to have a
note in section 26.3.7.3.1 saying load_tests was introduced in 2.7.

There seems to be no way to add a config item with a value containing a
formatstring without this formatstring beeing handled by configparser.

A possible way to escape the formatstrings could be to double the
%-sign, e.g.:

[foo]
bar = %%(string)s

The value of the bar item should then be "%(string)s".

Actually, the Python Tutorial recommends the use of the 'with' statement
in Section 7.2.1. "Methods of File Objects":

> It is good practice to use the with keyword when dealing with file
> objects. [etc.]

But the example and description are at the very bottom of this very
large section, and are easily missed by new Python users.

If this suggestion is to be taken seriously, I suggest putting this
information at a more prominent place, somewhere at the top of the short
section 7.2. "Reading and Writing Files".

Just noticed this while fixing another bug issue5102. 
Need to figure out why urllib.urlopen does not have timeout in the first
account and if it was due to some overlook, then:

1) add timeout parameter to urllib.urlopen
2) propage it across redirects.

It may not have high implications in Py2.x, but might lead us to
problems in future in Py3.x where urlopen is a combined function.

will notice it shows a set of empty parentheses since it is set with a 
function directive. But since it's a decorator those empty parentheses 
are not accurate.

If you want to view the docs as showing common usage -- like the docs 
for the other decorators in unittest -- then those empty parentheses 
need to go. An @ should also probably be added as well.

But if you view it more as how the decorator is called -- like with 
importlib.util.module_for_loader does -- then it should have an argument 
for the callable being passed in. This would also mean that all the 
other decorators in unittest need a second set of parentheses taking a 
callable as their argument as well.

Perhaps it's time we added a decorator directive that adds the @ sign 
and does not insert empty parentheses?

New submission from Henrik ravn <hravnx at gmail.com>:

When doing the following with python 2.6.2 on Windows Vista SP1:

>>> import tarfile
>>> tf = tarfile.TarFile("sometarfile.tar.bz2")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    tf = tarfile.TarFile("sometarfile.tar.bz2")
  File "C:\Python26\lib\tarfile.py", line 1570, in __init__
    self.firstmember = self.next()
  File "C:\Python26\lib\tarfile.py", line 2322, in next
    raise ReadError(str(e))
ReadError: invalid header

This would, of course, suggest that the file was corrupted, but all 
archiving tools (tar, winrar and 7-zip) handle the file without 
problems. 

Also:

>>> tf = tarfile.TarFile("sometarfile.tar.bz2", "r:bz2")

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#3>", line 1, in <module>
    tf = tarfile.TarFile("e:/mono/mono-2.4.2.2.tar.bz2", "r:bz2")
  File "C:\Python26\lib\tarfile.py", line 1510, in __init__
    raise ValueError("mode must be 'r', 'a' or 'w'")
ValueError: mode must be 'r', 'a' or 'w'

which suggests that the compression support is not compiled into the 
tarfile module.

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

In debugging an intermittent test failure we discovered that if '.' is
in the path and import_module is called, then what happens when
__import__ causes the creation of a .pyc file changes.  Without the
forgoing, the permissions of the .py file are copied to the .pyc file
(although the fix for issue 6070 removes the execute bits if set).  With
the forgoing, the write bit is set on the .pyc file even if it was not
set on the .py file.

The second behavior is how things always worked before 2.6. (Why it
changed in 2.6 I don't know, and I'm not convinced it was a change for
the better; see also issue 6074).

I will upload a test as soon as I create the issue and get an issue
number to label it with.

Note that this issue exists only 3.x, even though trunk uses the
backported import_module function from importlib.

I noticed in that whenever I enter "None" at the beginning of the line
in IDLE 3.1, the word is colored orange (for keywords) rather than
purple. If I insert a space right before the "None", it returns to its
normal purple color (for builtins), so it only seems to occur at the
beginning of a line. The same thing occurs to "True" and "False", but
not "list", "int", etc. This did not occur in 2.6.

In tracking down

on return value before it's set

(viewable on bugs.opensolaris.org), I noted that the pwd and grp modules
don't use the MT-safe interfaces to the password and group name service
tables.  The _r() interfaces have been around for a long time, are
standard, and should be used if at all possible.  That said, I can't
imagine it's terribly likely that people will go to the lengths
necessary to actually put multiple calls in flight at the same time in
CPython, but should it ever become easy to put this code into concurrent
threads, it'll likely fall over.

New submission from Graham Dumpleton <Graham.Dumpleton at gmail.com>:

I am seeing a crash within Py_Finalize() with Python 3.0 in mod_wsgi. It looks like the 
patches for issue-4200 were not adequate and that this wasn't picked up at the time.

This new problem I am seeing looks like it may be linked to where the 'atexit' module is 
initialised/imported in a sub interpreter but never imported in the main interpreter. I can 
avoid the crash by having:

    PyImport_ImportModule("atexit");

    Py_Finalize();

At a guess, the problem is because in atexit_callfuncs():

    module = PyState_FindModule(&atexitmodule);
    if (module == NULL)
        return;

still returns a module for case where imported in a sub interpreter but not in main 
interpreter, so doesn't return, but then code which follows:

    modstate = GET_ATEXIT_STATE(module);

    if (modstate->ncallbacks == 0)
        return;

returns NULL for modstate for the main interpreter as PyInit_atexit() had never been called 
for the main interpreter as the 'atexit' module was never imported within that interpreter.

The fix would appear to be to check modstate for being NULL and return. Ie.,

    module = PyState_FindModule(&atexitmodule);
    if (module == NULL)
        return;
    modstate = GET_ATEXIT_STATE(module);

    if (modstate == NULL)
        return;

    if (modstate->ncallbacks == 0)
        return;

The only thing I am uncertain about is why PyState_FindModule() would return an object. I 
cant find any documentation about that function so not entirely sure what it is meant to do. 
I would have thought it would be returning data specific to the interpreter, but if never 
imported in that interpreter, why would there still be an object recorded.

BTW, I have marked this as for Python 3.1 as well, but haven't tested it on that. The code in 
'atexit' module doesn't appear to have changed though so assuming it will die there as well.

For now am using the workaround in mod_wsgi.

New submission from Wojciech Lichota <wojciech at lichota.pl>:

In glibc library (on linux) pthread_t is defined as:

typedef unsigned long int pthread_t;

But python thread module interprets this value as signed long. 

Reproduce:
>>> import thread
>>> thread.get_ident()
In some cases it returns negative value.
Checked in python 2.4, 2.5, 2.6

Proposal:
In my opinion code that cast value returned by pthread_self() should be
changed (see: Python/thread_pthread.h).

Other possibility is to change only returned value by get_ident
function. In this case it should use PyLong_FromUnsignedLong (see:
Modules/threadmodule.c).

Background:
logging module uses 'thread.get_ident()' to save thread_id in logs. If
the same application uses some C library that also writes in log file
some info with thread_id, in some situations this numbers are diffrent.
This complicate logs analyze.

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

It seems like time.xmlrpc.com is gone (again?).  That service was
provided by userland.com, who have an xmlrpc server that they mention in
their documentation examples (see for example
http://frontier.userland.com/changes/kernel71) which argues that they
will probably keep the service alive.

The attached patch adds a second test to test_xmlrpc_net to access the
example service directly at userland, and changes both tests to raise
unittest.SkipTest if the service is not accessible.

New submission from Daniel Kaplun <min at dvir.us>:

In the second example to allow usage of the required field for options,
it seems as if you already have all you need to implement the feature
into optparse. I modified it a bit to allow OptionGroups:

class Option(optparse.Option):
	ATTRS = optparse.Option.ATTRS + ['required']

	def _check_required(self):
		if self.required and not self.takes_value():
			raise OptionError(
				"required flag set for option that doesn't take a value",
				 self)

	# Make sure _check_required() is called from the constructor!
	CHECK_METHODS = optparse.Option.CHECK_METHODS + [_check_required]

	def process(self, opt, value, values, parser):
		optparse.Option.process(self, opt, value, values, parser)
		parser.option_seen[self] = 1

class OptionParser(optparse.OptionParser):
	def _init_parsing_state(self):
		optparse.OptionParser._init_parsing_state(self)
		self.option_seen = {}

	def check_values(self, values, args):
		for option in self.option_list + sum((optiongroup.option_list for
optiongroup in self.option_groups), []):
			if isinstance(option, Option) and option.required and not
self.option_seen.has_key(option):
				self.error("%s not supplied" % (option, ))
		return (values, args)

The question: why hasn't your existing example been merged with the
OptionParse code to allow the required field for options?

In the re documentation MatchObject is marked up as a class, but since

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

bytearray.translate() crash if:
 * first argument was converted to a buffer but the buffer length is not 256
bytes
 * first argument is valid, but the second argument can not be converted to a
buffer

The crash occurs because PyBuffer_Release(&vdel) is called whereas vdel
buffer is not initialized.

Example with Python3:

lisa$ ./python
Python 3.2a0 (py3k:74029M, Jul 17 2009, 02:29:48)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> x=bytearray(b'xyz')
>>> x.translate(b'x', 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: translation table must be 256 characters long
>>> x.translate(b'x', 1)
Erreur de segmentation

Attached patch fixes the two cases and add an unit test for the first case. As
you can see in the example, it's an Heisenbug :-) (compile in debug bug to get
reproductible crash)

New submission from Leon Matthews <leon at lost.co.nz>:

According the docs for the tempfile module, SpooledTemporaryFile()
should operate "exactly as TemporaryFile() does".  However, while
playing around trying to learn the module I found a couple of places
where this is not the case: 

import tempfile

hello = bytes('Hello World!', encoding='utf-8')
tf = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
stf = tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile()

tf.write(hello)
stf.write(hello)

# (1) Read after write behaviour differs...
>>> print(tf.read())  
b'Hello World'
>>> print(stf.read())
b''

# ...unless you seek first
>>> tf.seek(0)
>>> stf.seek(0)
>>> print(tf.read())
b'Hello World'
>>> print(stf.read())
b'Hello World'


# (2) Name attribute is fragile...
>>> print(tf.name)
3
print(stf.name)
AttributeError: '_io.BytesIO' object has no attribute 'name'

# ...until StringIO object replaced
stf.rollover()
print(stf.name)   # 4

I'm not sure if this should be categorised as a documentation or code
issue. In either case please be gentle -- I'm still just learning Python
(evaluating it as a [now likely] replacement for PHP for web application
development in our company).  I'm filing this bug because, as a
beginner, I was confused by the inconsistency between the docs and the
actual behaviour.

I'd be happy to try and write documentation and/or unit tests about
this, if somebody would be willing to review them for me... :-)

New submission from R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com>:

The test sequence "test_ttk_guionly test_os test_pipes" hangs almost
every time when run on Gentoo x86 and Ubuntu x86_64 (at least).  Note
that this is without the gui resource, so the ttk tests aren't being run.

Commenting out test_closerange in TestInvalidFD in test_os clears the
hang.  Playing around with which module imports are commented out in
test_ttk_guionly can clear the hang, but test_pipes then produces the
following errors:

======================================================================

The first of these appears almost every time, the second one seldom.

New submission from Fan Decheng <fandecheng at gmail.com>:

traceback information is wrongly encoded.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a version of Windows that supports CP936 (Simplified Chinese) as 
the default encoding.
2. Create a directory containing Chinese characters. Such as C:\??
3. In the directory create a python file such as C:\??\test.py
4. In the python file enter the following lines
import traceback
try:
    aaa # create a non-existent name
except Exception as ex:
    traceback.print_exc()
5. Run the program with this command line (remember to use full path to 
the test.py file):
C:\Python31\python.exe C:\??\test.py
6. See the output.

Expected result:
There is correct output without encoding problems. Such as:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\??\test.py", line 3, in <module>
NameError: name 'aaa' is not defined

Actual result:
UTF-8 encoded string is decoded using CP936 so the output is incorrect.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\???\test.py", line 3, in <module>
NameError: name 'aaa' is not defined

Additional information:
In Python 3.0, such test would generate:
File "<decoding error>", line 221, in main
In Python 3.1, the test generates the output mentioned in the repro 
steps.  As I tried traceback.format_exc(), it seems the original 
characters ?? have become three Unicode characters when returned by 
format_exc().

The wording of the first section of the cmath module documentation is 
confusing:  the displayed blocks seem to suggest that there are real() and 
imag() functions.

This first section really needs a serious rewrite.  While we're at it, it 
might also be nice to separate out the cmath functions into categories, in 
the same way that the math module documentation is organized.

Also, 'complex plain' -> 'complex plane'.

New submission from Mark Roseman <mark at markroseman.com>:

Just a couple of minor things which this terminal session points out


s = ttk.Style()
s.element_options('Button.label')
('-compound', '-space', '-text', '-font', '-foreground', '-underline',
'-width', '-anchor', '-justify', '-wraplength', '-embossed', '-image',
'-stipple', '-background')
s.configure('TButton', font='helvetica 24')
{}
b = ttk.Button(root)
b.configure(text='blah')



The 'element_options' call presumably shouldn't include the dashes, i.e.
'compound' rather than '-compound'

The configure call shouldn't be returning anything, akin to how configuring
a button works.

Again, just little things..

	connection is refused and	using async_chat channel

New submission from Nir Soffer <nirsof at gmail.com>:

When using asynchat.async_chat channel, and connection is refused, 
asyncore fail incorrectly.

First, instead of ECONNREFUSED, you get EPIPE, second, you also get a 
EBADF exception, and finally, the channel handle_close is called  twice.

The problem is the way asyncore detect a connect event. On the first 
read event, asyncore set the connected flag to true, and invoke the 
channel handle_connect method. Typically, the channel will try to push 
something to the remote endpoint at this point. Since "connected" is 
true, push() will try to send to the socket, and fail with EPIPE, 
because the socket is not connected.

The socket error in push will invoke the channel handle_error, which 
typically will call handle_close to close the socket. 
handle_connect_event will return without any error, because the error 
was handled inside push.

Now asyncore will invoke the channel handle_read method, which fails 
with bad file descriptor, since the channel closed the socket on the 
previous error.

How should this work correctly?

1. We want to get a connection refused error in this case
2. The failure should cause only single exception
3. The channel should be close once

I added these test to test_asyncore.py, and all of them fail with 
current code.

Turns out that single line change fix all the failing tests: set the 
"connected" state after the call to handle_connect, just like it used to 
be in 2.5.

With this change, when the channel try to push something to the remote 
endpoint, it will keep it in the fifo, since connected is false. This is 
also correct, since we will know that we are connected only after 
handle_read is called. In handle_read, we fail with ECONNREFUSED and 
close the channel.

The fix is tested currently only on Mac OS X 10.5. I have seen this 
issue also on Ubuntu 9.04.

New submission from Patrick Strawderman <patrick at zope.com>:

When reading from a file-like object (like StringIO), cPickle uses the
read_other function, which doesn't check that the number of bytes
requested is the actual number of bytes read (like the read_cStringIO
function does).

Functions like load_binunicode falsely assume that the number of bytes
specified after the BINUNICODE instruction are the actual number of
bytes read.  This can eventually lead to a segmentation fault, as
demonstrated in the following example:

import cPickle, StringIO

cPickle.Unpickler(StringIO.StringIO("X''.")).load()


I have tested and reproduced this on Python 2.4.6 (OS X 32-bit), 2.5.1
(OS X 32-bit), and 2.6.2 (Linux 64-bit).

I have not tested Python 3.x, but I believe this problem may be akin to
the one in issue4298.

I couldn't find anything like os.pid_exists() in Python 2.5/2.6, neither
in bugs.python.org (this *could* be a dupe)

Do we have something like that?

Right now I'm doing this:

try:
    os.kill(int(pid), 0)
    return True
except OSError:
    return False

I'd love to do the same without catching an exception (they're
expensive!), maybe in C?

Thanks!

Currently we have this:

http://docs.python.org/install/#location-and-names-of-config-files

The distutils config file can have one of four different names depending
on which platform and which location.  This makes it harder for people
to remember the file's name and location, and more complicated for
programs that want to detect it.  Why not give it the same name on both
platforms and all locations?

The distutils looks in an environment variable named "HOME" on Windows:

Windows does not by default create such a variable, so only if a user
has manually configured one will it work.  The standard variable for
this purpose on Windows appears to be spelled "USERPROFILE":

Why do you say that? I don't believe that exceptions are expensive

New submission from Garrett Cooper <yanegomi at gmail.com>:

The following files are looking for the `linux' constant, when it fact
they should be looking for `__linux__' (from 2.6.2 release's sources):

Modules/_ctypes/libffi/src/mips/ffitarget.h:#ifdef linux
Modules/socketmodule.c:#ifdef linux
Modules/socketmodule.c:#ifdef linux

The correct check is being made for FreeBSD (__FreeBSD__), for instance.

This is a defacto standard set by gcc, as discussed here:
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/01/msg00951.html>. You can
dump out all of the available constants for any given gcc compiler via:

[garrcoop at sjc-lds-102 ~/Python-2.6.2]$ echo "" | gcc -E -dM -c - | grep
linux
#define __linux 1
#define __linux__ 1
#define __gnu_linux__ 1
#define linux 1

I point this out because one of our compilers, doesn't have this
definition and it's tossing up errors with the linuxaudiodev and oss
modules periodically when cross-compiling, as shown below :(:

/nobackup/shujagan/tmp/contrib/python/Modules/linuxaudiodev.c:31: error:
conflicting types for 'uint32_t'
/nobackup/shujagan/tmp/linkfarm/mips32/usr/include/stdint.h:52: error:
previous declaration of 'uint32_t' was here

/nobackup/shujagan/tmp/contrib/python/Modules/ossaudiodev.c:37: error:
conflicting types for 'uint32_t'
/nobackup/shujagan/tmp/linkfarm/mips32/usr/include/stdint.h:52: error:
previous declaration of 'uint32_t' was here

We've suggested using --without-audio, but this is a standard which
should be adhered to as __linux__ is the constant of choice when looking
for the Linux compiler...

Thanks!

This patch adds a extra parameter pass_fds to subprocess.Popen's

close_fds=True, all fds in pass_fds will not closed before exec.

New submission from K?lm?n Gergely <kalman.gergely at duodecad.hu>:

This is the rewritten-from-scratch implementation of the
sendmsg()/recvmsg() methods.
Any comments / suggestions / flames are very welcome. Currently it
supports what I need
and I'm only releasing it because I don't have much time to develop it
further in the
forseeable future (1-2 months). It is rewritten from scratch, using the
python c-api
documents. I've tried my best, but I wouldn't bet that it works
error-free. I'd be glad
if someone could give me a review on what I've might done wrong.

The features that are missing:
- using scatter/gather
- using it with non-stream oriented sockets (doesn't support addresses
/msg_name/)

These should be very easy to implement. If no one takes up the task of
implementing the
missing features than I'll do it of course, you just have to wait a
little while. Of
course any errors present in the code right now will be fixed.

Thanks

'DINGBAT CIRCLED SANS-SERIF DIGIT TWO'
>>> re.match(r'\d', '\u2781')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x3d5d08>

I believe (but am not 100% sure) that r'\d' should only match characters 
in category 'Nd'.  To back up this belief:

(1) int and float currently accept characters in category 'Nd' but not 
'No'; it would seem useful for '\d' to match those characters that are 
accepted by int, so that e.g., something matched with '\d+' could be 
directly passed to int.  (This came up in a #python-dev discussion
about whether the Decimal type should accept other unicode digits;  
that's a separate issue, though.)

(2) In Perl 5.10 (and possibly some earlier versions too), '\d' matches 
only characters in category 'Nd'

(3) Unicode Technical Standard #18 ("Unicode Regular Expressions") at 
http://unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/ recommends that '\d' should 
correspond to \p{gc=Decimal_Number}

Marc-Andr?, do you have any opinion on this?

It's probably slightly dangerous to change this in 2.6 or 3.1;  I'm 
proposing that '\d' should be modified to accept only characters of 
category 'Nd' in 2.7 and 3.2.

(Thanks Ezio Melotti for finding all the references above and doing Perl 
testing!)

New submission from David Roberts <d at vidr.cc>:

I'm getting the following error on Windows in an application I've
written (the error does not occur on Linux):

Exception in thread Thread-4:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Python26\lib\threading.py", line 525, in __bootstrap_inner
   self.run()
 File "C:\Documents and Settings\David\My

   me = current_thread()
 File "C:\Python26\lib\threading.py", line 803, in currentThread
   return _active[_get_ident()]
OverflowError: can't convert negative value to unsigned long

Where __lock is an RLock object.

The odd thing is that it only affects a single class (which is derived
from the TileProvider class in tileprovider.py, which in turn is derived
from threading.Thread). This led me to believe there was an error in my
code, but I asked on the mailing list and was told that it is likely a
bug in the threading module.

The Python version is 2.6.2.

When you insert None into sys.modules, the built-in import raises an

See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-July/090780.html for

New submission from Andre Roberge <andre.roberge at gmail.com>:

I have a function to replace the content of an ElementTree Element by
that of another one which works using Python 2 but not with Python 3.
I get an assertion error.  

It was suggested on the Python list that the problem is that in Python 3
slice assignments are done with __setitem__ rather than __setslice__ but
ElementTree has not been adapted to that -- hence the title given to
this bug.

The function that I use to demonstrate this (with a workaround solution)
is as follows:

def replace_element(elem, replacement):
    '''replace the content of an ElementTree Element by that of
another
       one.
    '''
    elem.clear()
    elem.text = replacement.text
    elem.tail = replacement.tail
    elem.tag = replacement.tag
    elem.attrib = replacement.attrib
    try:
        elem[:] = replacement[:]  # works with Python 2.5 but not 3.1
    except AssertionError:
        del elem[:]
        for child in replacement:
            elem.append(child)

I have included a small test file which demonstrate the behaviour.

New submission from Mark du Preez <drunkard at thepub.co.za>:

Hi

In section 4.7.2 of the tutorial documentation, we suddenly find the
following paragraph:

"In general, an argument list must have any positional arguments
followed by any keyword arguments, where the keywords must be chosen
from the formal parameter names. It?s not important whether a formal
parameter has a default value or not. No argument may receive a value
more than once ? formal parameter names corresponding to positional
arguments cannot be used as keywords in the same calls. Here?s an
example that fails due to this restriction:"

To a beginner who is reading a tutorial to learn how to use this
language for the first time, it is completely overwhelming. What is a
"positional argument" vs a "keyword argument" and what is a "formal
parameter name"?

None of these things have been explained up until this point and an
understanding of their meaning is required to make sense of this paragraph.

Please consider revising this section.

Thank you.

Mark

Shift operators.  It would be good if "<<" and ">>" could be included

Incidentally, the usage seems counter-intuitive.

New submission from Shawn Smout <silroquen at yahoo.com>:

When calling the union method of a set with several arguments, if one of
those sets is the original set, all arguments appearing after it are
ignored.  For example:

x = set()
x.union(set([1]), x, set([2]))

evaluates to set([1]), not set([1, 2]) as expected.  As another example,
since all empty frozensets are the same,

frozenset().union(frozenset([1]), frozenset(), frozenset([2]))

also evaluates to just frozenset([1]).

The fix is trivial, so I'm attaching a patch.

The documentation about the __future__ features [1] only lists the

It would be nice to have a table with |feature|version added|effect|.
A better place for this table could also be the page of the __future__

New submission from Jan Kaliszewski <zuo at chopin.edu.pl>:

Some of links in re docs should lead to RegexObject.match()|
RegexObject.search() method but lead to re.match()|re.search() module 
function.

These are the places in 2.6 docs (in 2.7-3.2 versions' you'll find the 
bug in analogous places):

http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.compile
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.RegexObject.match
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.RegexObject.search
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.MatchObject.pos
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.MatchObject.endpos
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.MatchObject.re
http://docs.python.org/library/re.html#re.MatchObject.string (<- here 
maybe both possibilities should be noted, which would mean changing not 
only link targets but also the content)

New submission from Jan Kaliszewski <zuo at chopin.edu.pl>:

The problem can be found in many places in docs -- tipically, where 
there is a function/method with name identical to builtin name (or 
sometimes to another function/method within the same module -- see: 
#6575): links leads to te latter but should lead to the former.

One example -- open():

It's hard to find all such place by hand; probably it's a job for a

New submission from Jan Kaliszewski <zuo at chopin.edu.pl>:

As we can read in http://docs.python.org/3.1/whatsnew/3.1.html#other-
language-changes:

----
The fields in format() strings can now be automatically numbered:
>>> 'Sir {} of {}'.format('Gallahad', 'Camelot')
'Sir Gallahad of Camelot'

Formerly, the string would have required numbered fields such as: 'Sir 
{0} of {1}'.

(Contributed by Eric Smith; issue 5237.)
----

But it is not mentioned in 3.2's, 3.1's and 2.7's docs about format 
string syntax, e.g. in 3.1 docs we have:

http://docs.python.org/3.1/library/string.html#format-string-syntax

[Please note that also grammar for a replacement field should be 
updated there ('field_name' should be in '[' ']', but I'm not sure if 
it'd be enough)].

PEP 289 states that "Python 2.4 and beyond should issue a deprecation

variable used in the immediately surrounding scope".  But no warning is 
shown when running

The same fix is required on trunk.

PEP 3108 states that test.test_support was renamed to test.support as a

2to3 does not refactor (or even warn about) test.test_support.  Simply
adding
"test.test_support": "test.support",
into the MAPPING of fix_imports.py would not work, because
fix_imports.py does not accept anything with a dot in it, i.e. "foo.bar".

New submission from Antonio Cavallo <a.cavallo at cavallinux.eu>:

Hi,
I've seen the code change in /python/trunk/configure.in (rev.  74072): 
it enforces a specific autoconfig version (2.61) in order to build 
python.

Unfortunately OpenSuSE 11.1 (mainstream at time of writing) has an 
updated version of autoconf 2.63 (and I think is true for Mandriva as 
well). 

Wouldn't be better to force the 2.61 being the minimal version for 
autoconf allowing more up-to-date versions to be used?

You can have a look into http://pyvm.sourceforge.net/ where continuous 
build of the python interpreter are stored for further references.

New submission from Chris Liechti <cliechti at users.sourceforge.net>:

Documentation of os.write and os.read are inaccurate, it states that the
methods work with 'str' (or strings), which is wrong.

- os.write expects an instance of bytes or buffer
- os.read returns an instance of bytes

The implementation is OK, it fits well with the new io library but the
docs don't describe the implementation.

The behavior when a write or send is interrupted is suboptimal.  If the
write buffer moves before a retry is attempted in response to
SSL_ERROR_WANT_OUTPUT, OpenSSL rejects the retry attempt.  See

Looks like a simple fix.

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue6589] smtpd.SMTPServer can cause
	asyncore.loop to enter	infinite event loop
In-Reply-To: <1248753598.39.0.190804723361.issue6589@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>
Message-ID: <1248753598.39.0.190804723361.issue6589@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Casey McGinty <casey.mcginty at gmail.com>:

When subclass of smtpd.SMTPServer, it is possible the get asyncore.loop
to enter an infinite loop where the following output is shown:

.....
warning: unhandled write event
warning: unhandled read event
warning: unhandled write event
warning: unhandled read event
warning: unhandled write event
warning: unhandled read event
warning: unhandled write event
warning: unhandled read event
warning: unhandled write event
warning: unhandled read event
warning: unhandled write event
warning: unhandled read event
....

To reproduce:
1) Init SMTPServer class instance inside of Thread class and call
asyncore.loop()
2) Init second SMTPServer class instance from a second Thread class,
binding to the same address and port. The SMTPServer instance will raise
an exception that socket cannot bind to the port in use. The socket
exception must be caught at some level, and the program execution
allowed to continue.
3) First SMTPServer thread will enter infinite event loop.


Analysis:
When the exception is raised in the second SMTPServer instance, the new
instance has already registered itself with the asyncore library (ex:
'asyncore.dispatcher.__init__(self)'). There is no code in the
SMTPServere.__init__ method that catches the exception raised, caused by
the failed bind attempt. After the exception is caught, the first thread
continues to run, but asyncore is in an invalid state because it still
has the registration of the second SMTPServer instance that never completed.

Workaround and Proposed Fix:
A viable workaround seems to be catching the raised exception in
__init__ method of the SMTPServer subclass, and call self.close() before
re-raising the exception:

class MySmtpServer( smtpd.SMTPServer, object ):
   def __init__( self, **kwargs ):
      try:
         super( _SmtpSink, self).__init__(**kwargs)
      except Exception as e:
         self.close()   # cleanup asyncore after failure
         raise

For a long term fix, I would recommend performing the
asyncore.dispatcher.close() method call in the SMTPServer.__init__() method.

New submission from Hakan <physic.tr at gmail.com>:

Hi,
I'm new to web programming with Python.
In Python2k, the special "# -*- coding: cp1254 -*-" code sets the
character encoding. It works in the internet browsers too and sets the
browser's character encoding. That was really good. But in Py3k, that
special comment doesn't work. Usually, the encoding is UTF-8 in my
browser. That time, non-ascii Turkish characters seems strange symbols.
The locale.setlocale method doesn't work too. The users must manualy set
the encoding from UTF-8 to Turkish(Windows-1254) or Turkish(ISO-8859-9).
Is there anyway to set browser's encoding with Python 3.1? 
I use IIS7 and Windows 7 x64.
BTW, the ASP don't identify Python. But I can use .py files. So, I did
these thing in CGI/.py

socket.ioctl says it is Windows specific, and people may think there 
is no way to use ioctl with sockets in non-Windows platforms (see 
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/
thread/246f4522ad215d74 )
This doc patch adds a reference to the fcntl.fcntl and fcntl.ioctl

New submission from Shawn <swalker at opensolaris.org>:

The json serializer's performance (when using the C speedups) appears to
be tied to the depth of the structure being serialized on some systems.
 In particular, dict structure that are more than a few levels deep,
especially when they content mixed values (lists, strings, and other
dicts) causes severe serialization penalties (in the neighborhood of an
extra 20-30 seconds) on some systems.

On SPARC systems, this is very likely because of the recursive call
structure that the C speedups serializer uses which doesn't work well
with SPARC due to register windows.

On x86 systems, recursive call structures are cheap, so this doesn't
appear to be an issue there.

SPARC systems with higher amounts of memory bandwidth don't suffer as
badly from this (such as Niagra T1000, T2000, etc. systems), but older
UltraSparc systems are especially prone to performance issues.

New submission from Mark Dickinson <dickinsm at gmail.com>:

Ezio Melotti asked (on #python-dev) why the Decimal constructor doesn't 
accept decimal digits other than 0-9.  As far as I can tell there's no 
good reason for it not to.  Moreover, the standard on which the decimal 
module is based says[1]:

"""It is recommended that implementations also provide additional number 
formatting routines (including some which are locale-dependent), and if 
available should accept non-European decimal digits in strings."""

All other builtin or standard library numeric types already accept such 
digits:

I propose adding support for this in Python 3.2 and (possibly) 2.7.  The 
change would be for input only:  no record of the original form of the 
digits would be kept by the Decimal object itself, so that e.g.,
str(Decimal('?????')) would still be '10585'.

New submission from Michael Hudson <mwh at users.sourceforge.net>:

If you call email.utils.make_msgid a number of times within the same
second, the uniqueness of the results depends on random.randint(100000)
returning different values each time.

A little mathematics proves that you don't have to call make_msgid
*that* often to get the same message id twice: if you call it 'n' times,
the probability of a collision is approximately "1 -
math.exp(-n*(n-1)/200000.0)", and for n == 100, that's about 5%.  For n
== 1000, it's over 99%.

These numbers are born out by experiment:

>>> def collisions(n):
...     msgids = [make_msgid() for i in range(n)]
...     return len(msgids) - len(set(msgids))
... 
>>> sum((collisions(100)>0) for i in range(1000))
49
>>> sum((collisions(1000)>0) for i in range(1000))
991

I think probably having a counter in addition to the randomness would be
a good fix for the problem, though I guess then you have to worry about
thread safety.

New submission from tomkm <tom at dialogue.net>:

I believe that the log_message method of BaseHTTPServer should log to
sys.stdout not sys.stderr, whereas log_error should log to sys.stderr
instead of just delegating to log_message.

I found this inconsistency when using SimpleXMLRPCServer which logs both
successful (200) and non-successful (non-200) requests to stderr when
logRequests is set to True.

New submission from jan matejek <jmatejek at suse.cz>:

test_bdist_wininst.py fails in non-windows environment, depending on the
order of execution of tests in the test_distutils suite

When this test is not run on windows, msvccompiler.py fails to load
win32 registry modules and emits a warning-level message to the log.
Depending on which tests run before this test, the log threshold might
be set lower than WARN. in such case, The warning is actually printed,
test runner detects it and fails the test (which otherwise passes).

the attached patch sets log threshold to ERROR, silencing the warning
and producing a happier test ;e)

The smtplib.SMTP.quit() method does not reset the 'helo_resp' and
'ehlo_resp' instance attributes. During the next
smtplib.SMTP.sendmail(), the HELO/EHLO commands are not sent, and may
cause the remote SMTP service to reject the message, due to improper
protocol handshaking.

To fix, self.helo_resp and self.ehlo_resp should be set to 'None' in the
smtplib.SMTP.quit() method.

Given the attached code, the Sniffer.sniff routine does not set the
doublequote property.  This results in errors during reader operations.
 If the doublequote property is set in the dialect, the data is read
properly.

The data was created using oocalc, forcing it to use ascii quotes rather
than u'\u201c\u201d'.

New submission from Christian Heimes <lists at cheimes.de>:

The subprocess module may suffer from a minor design flaw that is
described at http://unixwiz.net/techtips/remap-pipe-fds.html under the
heading "Descriptor Debacle". The problem can occur under rare
conditions when a subprocess is created from a Python daemon process.

Proposed solution:

Create a function os.duprange(*args) that takes one or more tuple pairs
of file descriptors. The function takes care of the necessary order and
dubbing of fds.

Hello,

It seems that the ctypes.PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc is not working in
Linux 64bits machines

I have tried the code in attachment in python 2.5 and 2.6 in both 32bits
and 64bits machines with the following return:

      | linux 32bits | linux 64bits |
------|--------------|--------------|
py2.5 |     1 (OK)   |     0 (ERR)  |
py2.6 |     1 (OK)   |     0 (ERR)  |

I have also tried to make a python extension in C++ exporting a function
to python that simply calls the C++ PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc and this
works fine.

New submission from Joshua Bronson <jabronson at gmail.com>:

>From http://docs.python.org/library/heapq.html:
> The latter two functions (nlargest and nsmallest) perform best for

A quick usability win for the heapq module: Be more specific than "smaller" and 
"larger", e.g. "when n is O(...(len(iterable)))".

>From http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/9556f56ae25ecf3b:

+1. It looks like the pure Python implementation of nsmallest is actually already 
choosing either an insort algorithm or a minheap algorithm based on whether n * 10 <= 
len(iterable), but the C implementation of nsmallest unconditionally uses a minheap 
algorithm. Neither the pure Python nor the C implementation of nlargest chooses its 
algorithm conditionally. For the sake of consistency and usability, all 
implementations of nsmallest and nlargest should choose the most efficient algorithm 
from among min/max, insort, and minheap, and the docs should be updated to describe 
this behavior.

Also, in looking through the heapq.py that came with my Python 2.6.2 distribution, I 
noticed that line 196 seems to have no reason to be there:
    _heappushpop = heappushpop                                      
This is the only occurrence of "_heappushpop" in the file.

I made a patch for heapq.py, but since I'm not a CPython hacker, I thought it might 
be better to leave the changes up to someone who could do both the pure Python and 
the C implementations in tandem. I'd be happy to contribute documentation when the 
time comes if that would help.
