Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1715] Make pydoc list submodules
Message-ID: <1199145132.63.0.00647784499418.issue1715@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro:

Often python extension modules define submodules like this:

static PyObject *
initfoo_xpto(void)
{
    PyObject *m;
    m = Py_InitModule3("foo.xpto", foo_xpto_functions, NULL);
    [...]
    return m;
}

PyMODINIT_FUNC
initfoo(void)
{
    PyObject *m;
    PyObject *submodule;
    m = Py_InitModule3("foo", foo_functions, NULL);
    [...]
    submodule = initfoo_xpto();
    Py_INCREF(submodule);
    PyModule_AddObject(m, "xpto", submodule);
}

Unfortunately pydoc does not list these submodules.  Attached patch
fixes it.

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1716] String format operator '%i' fails
	for large floats
Message-ID: <1199155109.22.0.179885625842.issue1716@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Christopher Tur Lesniewski-Laas:

To reproduce:
>>> '%i' % 12345678901.0
TypeError: int argument required

Contrast with:
>>> '%i' % 1234567890.0
'1234567890'

Previous experience led me to expect that the '%i' format code would
work for all numerical types.  Admittedly, there's nothing in the docs
promising this, but it works *almost* all the time.

In fact, the operator fails to convert floats which are too big to fit
into a machine long.  The code for the '%i' operator handles objects of
type long specially, and then uses PyInt_AsLong to handle all other
objects (in formatint).

The ideal solution would be to ask the object to convert itself into an
int *before* the special test for type long; this would give the
expected behavior.

An acceptable solution would be to make the behavior consistent by
refusing all floats passed as the argument to '%i', but I expect this
would break a lot of code.  Of course, right now most of that code is
broken anyway, since it will throw a TypeError when the input float
happens to be large.

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

Should I apply this?  There are more places that reference __cmp__ in
the library.  OTOH there are some folks who would like to see __cmp__
make a come-back as a shorthand for defining 6 comparison operators, for
totally-ordered types.  (I'm still waiting for a PEP describing this
though.)  Even in that case I'm not sure that the code I'm proposing to
delete here would be useful.

New submission from Ismail Donmez:

Running python 2.5 maintainance branch,

Test code is :

import tarfile

f = file(r"nss-3.12_alpha2.tar.bz2", "rb")
tar = tarfile.open(fileobj=f, mode="r|bz2")
try:
        for m in tar:
                tar.extract(m)
finally:
        tar.close()
        f.close()

You can get the file from
http://cekirdek.pardus.org.tr/~ismail/dist/nss-3.12_alpha2.tar.bz2 .

When the script finishes it only creates mozilla/security/nss directory,
if you extract with tar you will see that it also creates
mozilla/security/coreconf directory.

Tarfile created with 1.19 on Linux i686. I can reproduce the same
problem with tar.gz version of the same file.

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

Since 1e-1000 == 0.0 (on an IEEE-754 platform anyway), I would expect
-1e-1000 to be -0.0.  But it does not appear that way:

>>> 1e-1000
0.0
>>> -0.0
-0.0
>>> -1e-1000
0.0

However (correctly):

>>> (-1.0) * 1e-1000
-0.0
>>> -(1e-1000)
-0.0

I suspect the optimization for -x where x is a float literal is
incorrectly triggering here.

New submission from astronouth7303:

Something about distutils/cmd.py breaks inspect.findsource(). I am
unsure if this is a bug with DistUtils or the inspect module.

>>> import inspect, distutils.cmd
>>> inspect.findsource(distutils.cmd.install_misc.get_outputs)

Causes findsource() to receive an IndexError.

>From some hacking, I've found that the root cause appears to be that
linecache.getlines() returns a number of lines that do not match the
actual file. (In my case, getlines() returns 405 lines when
distutils/cmd.py has 478 lines.)

This bug causes pydoc to break when it is pointed at distutils.cmd.

This is on Ubuntu Gutsy, Python 2.5.1

The IEEE754 standard, the C99 standard, and the standard on which 
Decimal is based all allow creation of an infinity from the string 
'Infinity' (case-independent), as well as from 'inf'.  Is there any 
reason not to allow this for floats?  I'm happy to create a patch.

New submission from Robin Stocker:

I saw a minor inconsistency in the documentation of the os module and
then somehow ended up proof-reading the whole file :). The result of
this is attached as a patch against trunk.

Summary of the changes:

- Use the imperative tense in method descriptions
- Some more links using semantic markup
- Added example for file.seek
- Consistently use "" instead of '' in text
- or-ed, OR'd replaced with ORed
- bit-wise replaced with bitwise

Message-ID: <1199402921.07.0.182156121035.issue1731@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Thomas Dybdahl Ahle:

I have a pygtk program, that uses a fairly lot of threads in a pool. All
of these threads are setDaemon to ensure the application shuts down when
I call gtk.main_quit()

About every second time I close the app, I get one or more errors from
places in the program where a thread seams to have woken up, and now
find all attributes None.

This time I even got a message relating til the GIL:

...
for errortype in (IOError, LogOnError, socket.error, EOFError):
exceptions.AttributeError 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'error'
python: Python/pystate.c:497: PyGILState_Ensure: Assertion (assertion)
'autoInterpreterState' failed.
Afbrudt (SIGABRT)

the socket reference simply comes from "import socket" in the beginning
of the module.

As the errors only occur during application shutdown, it has no
practical effect, but it confuses users to post tons of bug reports.

create new tracker item. Probably attached patch is needed. Thank you.

New submission from L. Peter Deutsch:

In the following, dir(Node) should include the name 'z', and Node.z
should be 'Node'. However, dir(Node) does not include 'z', and Node.z is
undefined (AttributeError). This is directly contrary to the Python
documentation, which says "metaclasses can modify dict".

class MetaNode(type):
    def __init__(cls, name, bases, cdict):
        cdict['z'] = name
        type.__init__(name, bases, cdict)
class Node(object):
    __metaclass__ = MetaNode

print dir(Node)
print Node.z

Message-ID: <1199444560.86.0.587752807874.issue1735@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Eric Andresen:

The tarfile.TarFile.extractall() method is [by default] silently failing
to set directory permissions and times on all but the lexically-latest
directory extracted. This is due to an unintentional re-use of the
'path' variable.

The provided patch renames the second 'path' variable to 'dirpath' which
resolves the problem.

Message-ID: <1199458428.92.0.688794479817.issue1736@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Hirokazu Yamamoto:

I have fixed three bugs of msilib.FCICreate()

1. msilib.FCICreate("a.cab") creates ".a.cab" (extra leading dot)

In recent cab SDK's FCI-FDI.doc,

# quote start

The szCab field should contain a string which contains the name of the 
first cabinet to be created (e.g. ?APP1.CAB?).  In the event of 
multiple cabinets being created, the GetNextCab function called by the 
FCIAddFile API allows subsequent cabinet names to be specified.

The szCabPath field should contain the complete path of where to create 
the cabinet (e.g. ?C:\MYFILES\?).

# quote end

Currently, _msi.c separate "C:\\MYFILES\\APP1.CAB" to szCabPath "C:" 
and szCab "\\MYFILES\\APP1.CAB".

2. Probably, "long names" error check doesn't count null-terminator now.
3. Usually, multibyte character may contain "\\" as trailing-byte. 
(like "?" in Japanese) Not to count this as path separator, I used 
CharNext().

Thank you.

New submission from Dariusz Suchojad:

Hello,

for some reasons I cannot install Python 2.5.1 using the default MSI
package which may be found here
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi. This only
happens on two of my PC's at work but I cannot reproduce it at home.
The only difference I could find between those Windows is that the
PC's at work are connected to Active Directory domain whereas my home
machine isn't. I tried to install Python as a domain user and also
as a local administrator but every time I encountered the very same
screen (see attached file objectbrowser.png) and then the installation
process rollbacks. I'd like to investigate
it further but I have no slightest idea where to start. Do you perhaps
have any suggestions? It's all Windows XP SP2.

Message-ID: <1199635442.3.0.37215467231.issue1745@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Robin Stocker:

The attached patch ports the implementation of keyword-only arguments
from revision 52491 back to trunk.

This is the first time I've worked on the C internals, so here are some
notes:

- test_collections is the only test which fails, because it tries to
call a function with more than 255 arguments, which results in a
SyntaxError because of the following added code in Python/ast.c. What
should be done about it?

    if (nposargs + nkwonlyargs > 255) {
        ast_error(n, "more than 255 arguments");
        return NULL;
    }

- The patch only adds what's in revision 52491. There is at least one
more change involving keyword-only arguments, for example issue1573. Are
there others? Should they be included in this patch or in a separate one?

- There are some changes which were generated, like Python/Python-ast.c
(which needs to be checked in separately).

- Is there documentation which needs to be updated?

New submission from Alan McIntyre:

The current behavior of zipfile._EndRecData is to look in the last 4k of
data in a file if it appears it might have an archive comment; this
results in flagging proper ZIP files with comments longer than ~4074
bytes as "not a ZIP file."

I plan on posting a patch for this later, but figured this should be
documented in case I don't get around to it.

This causes Decimal to break in interesting ways when I make it subclass

This looks relatively easy to fix, so I'll work on a patch.

Currently, I have no idea how to fix the tests for the profilers. The

New submission from Erick Tryzelaar:

I was playing around with python 3's io functions, and I found that when trying to write to 
an encoded utf-16 file that TextIOWrapper.write re-writes the utf-16 bom for every string:

>>> f=open('foo', 'w', encoding='utf-16')
>>> print('1234', file=f)
>>> print('5678', file=f)
>>> open('foo', 'rb').read()
b'\xff\xfe1\x002\x003\x004\x00\xff\xfe\n\x00\xff\xfe5\x006\x007\x008\x00\xff\xfe\n\x00'
>>> open('foo', 'r', encoding='utf-16').read()
'1234\ufeff\n\ufeff5678\ufeff\n'
>>> 

With the attached patch, it appears to generate the correct file:

>>> f=open('foo', 'w', encoding='utf-16')
>>> print('1234', file=f)
>>> print('5678', file=f)
>>> open('foo', 'rb').read()
b'\xff\xfe1\x002\x003\x004\x00\n\x005\x006\x007\x008\x00\n\x00'

The message for WindowsError is taken from the Windows API's
FormatMessage() function, following the OS language. Currently Python
does no conversion for those messages, so non-ASCII characters end up
improperly encoded in the console. For example:

  >>> import os
  >>> os.rmdir('E:\\temp')
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  WindowsError: [Error 41] A pasta n?o est? vazia: 'E:\\temp'

Should be: "A pasta n?o est? vazia" [Folder is not empty].

Python could check what is the code page of the current output interface
and change the message accordingly.

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

As of today, the -m option doesn't appear to work any more in the trunk.
 I get this error:

$ ./python -m string
Could not import runpy module
$

However it seems to be confused:

$ ./python -c 'import runpy'
$

IOW the module imports just fine.

Crys, I wonder if this has to do with your import-nolock changes?

Message-ID: <1199739838.21.0.114210159125.issue1757@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Mark Dickinson:

The value of the Decimal hash() depends on the current context:

>>> from decimal import *
>>> x = Decimal("123456789.1")
>>> hash(x)
1989332493
>>> getcontext().prec = 6
>>> hash(x)
-2034270682

This has nasty consequences;  e.g.:

>>> s = set([x])
>>> x in s
True
>>> getcontext().prec = 28
>>> x in s
False

hashing a Decimal can also set flags in the context;  again, I think
this is undesirable.

The cause of this bug is clear:  __hash__ calls normalize, which rounds
its argument to the current context.  I'll post a fix when I get around
to it.

New submission from Jeffrey Yasskin:

Adding numbers.Real to Decimal's base classes almost doubles the time
its its test suite takes to run. A profile revealed that a large
fraction of that slowdown was in __instancecheck__, but even after
optimizing that, it's still about 25% slower. It looks like the rest of
the slowdown is still in other parts of the isinstance() check. It would
be nice if inheriting from ABCs didn't slow your class down.

According to the docs, and consistent with the Python 2.x behavior,
filehandle.write() should return None.  However, under 3.0a2 (and
3.0a1), it returns the number of characters written.

Either the documentation
http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files
is wrong, or it is a bug.  I would *much* prefer if the behavior would
stay the same as before.

Below is a sample session illustrating the behavior.  Note that I also
get an error message when exiting the session using exit() - this is an
unrelated problem.

Message-ID: <1199926906.81.0.101046326746.issue1780@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Mark Dickinson:

After seeing issue #1761, I realized that there's a bug in the Decimal 
constructor:  it accepts newline-terminated strings:

>>> from decimal import *
>>> s = "2.3\n"
>>> Decimal(s)
Decimal("2.3")

I think this is, strictly speaking, a bug because:

(1) The IBM decimal specification explicitly disallows additional whitespace 
in a numeric string (see http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/daconvs.html),

(2) the operation to-number is supposed only to accept numeric strings, and

(3) Decimal.__new__ is currently the method that implements to-number.

Is this worth fixing?  This buggy behaviour might well be useful (e.g. to 
someone parsing a file with one Decimal per line).

I'll fix it if anyone thinks it's worth it.  Even if it should be fixed, I 
don't think this is worth backporting to Python 2.5, especially since it 
might break things.

New submission from Tim Lesher:

ConfigParser doesn't prevent "manually" adding a section named DEFAULT;
however, doing so creates a duplicate, inaccessible [DEFAULT] section in
the config file:
----
>>> import sys, ConfigParser
>>> c = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
>>> c.add_section('DEFAULT')
>>> c.write(sys.stdout)
[DEFAULT]

>>> c.set('DEFAULT', 'color', 'yellow')
>>> c.write(sys.stdout)
[DEFAULT]
color = yellow

[DEFAULT]

----
It seems that the correct thing to do would be to disallow
add_section('DEFAULT').

	PyModule_AddStringConstant can leak

New submission from Hrvoje Nik?i?:

PyModule_AddObject has somewhat strange reference-counting behavior in
that it *conditionally* steals a reference.  In case of error it doesn't
change the reference to the passed object, but in case of success it
steals it.  This means that, as written, PyModule_AddIntConstant and
PyModuleAddStringConstant can leak created objects if PyModule_AddObject
fails.

As far as I can tell, the correct way to write those functions would be
(using PyModule_AddIntConstant as the example):

int 
PyModule_AddIntConstant(PyObject *m, const char *name, long value)
{
        PyObject *o = PyInt_FromLong(value);
	if (PyModule_AddObject(m, name, o) == 0)
                return 0;
        Py_XDECREF(o);
        return -1;
}

PyModule_AddObject was obviously intended to enable writing the "simple"
code (it even gracefully handles being passed NULL object to add) like
the one in PyModule_AddIntConstant, but I don't see a way to enable such
usage and avoid both leaks and an interface change.  Changing the
reference-counting behavior of PyModule_AddObject would be
backward-incompatible, but it might be a good idea to consider it for
Python 3.

If there is agreement that my analysis and the proposed fixes are
correct, I will produce a proper patch.

sysmodule.h contains the following declarations for data to be exported
from the Python DLL, but these variables don't seem to exist anywhere:

PyAPI_DATA(PyObject *) _PySys_TraceFunc, *_PySys_ProfileFunc;
PyAPI_DATA(int) _PySys_CheckInterval;

Either the declarations should be removed or the variables should be
defined somewhere. I'm proposing the former.

Sorry for the generic title but I couldn't think of a better one. My
attempt to do "svn up && make" failed with the following exception from
setup.py:

----------------------
File "./setup.py", line 314, in detect_modules

AttributeError: Values instance has no attribute 'dirs'
----------------------

I isolated the problem to a small script.

----------------------
import optparse

parser = optparse.OptionParser()
parser.add_option("-I", dest="dirs", action="append")
options = parser.parse_args(['-I.', '-IInclude', '-I./Include'])[0]
if options.dirs:
    print "opt = ", options.dirs
----------------------

When run with 2.5.1, the script prints "opt =  ['.', 'Include',
'./Include']" but python from trunk gives the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

New submission from Dieter Maurer:

The inspect functions "getmembers(cls)" and "classify_class_attrs(cls)"
require that for a class *cls* each name in "dir(cls)" can be retrieved
by "getattr(cls, name)". While this holds for usual class attributes, it
may well fail for descriptors (descriptors set by 'zope.interface' are a
real world example for this). Attached it as small script that
demonstrates the problem.

The bug affects 'pydoc' and the built in 'help' (which is in fact
'pydoc.help'). While 'pydoc' and 'help' do not break completely, they
can not present meaningful information for classes with some descriptors

New submission from Guido van Rossum:

When you type a command in pdb that happens to print something, the
output goes to sys.stdout, even if self.stdout references another file.
 This makes it hard to debug code running inside a web server where
sys.stdout/stdout are connected to a socket (or a WSGI wrapper file);
the output "disappears" and ends up messing up the response.

Attached is a fix that temporarily changes sys.stdin/stdout to the
debugger's input and output.  What do people think of this?

New submission from Aaron Watters:

Much to my surprise I found that one of
my applications seemed to be running slow as a result
of marshal.dumps.  I think the culprit is the w_more(...)
function, which grows the marshal buffer in 1k units.
This means that a marshal of size 100k will have 100
reallocations and string copies.  Other parts of Python
(and java etc) have a proportional reallocation strategy
which reallocates a new size based on the existing size.
This mean a 100k marshal requires just 5 or so
reallocations and string copies (n log n versus n**2
asymptotic performance).

I humbly submit the following patch (based on python 2.6a0
source).  I think it is a strict improvement on the existing
code, but I've been wrong before (twice ;)).

New submission from Thomas Heller:

I'm uploading this patch for discussion, in case someone cares.

This code (for Windows) adds a function ctypes.util.find_msvcrt().  This
function returns the filename of the MSVC runtime library that the
current Python executable uses.  If calling functions from the C runtime
library, it is very important to use the SAME dll that Python uses.

Further, this patch changes ctypes.util.find_library(name) so that the
MSVC runtime library name is returned when searching for "c" or "m".

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1798] Add ctypes calling convention that
	allows safe access of errno

New submission from Thomas Heller:

This patch adds new calling conventions to ctypes foreign functions by
passing 'errno=True' or 'GetLastError=True' to the CDLL or WinDLL
constructor.

If CDLL(..., errno=True) or WinDLL(..., errno=True) is used, the
function objects available in the CDLL or WinDLL instance will set the C
global errno to zero before the actual call, and attach the C global
errno value after the call as 'errno' attribute to the function object.
 This attribute is stored in thread-local storage.

Similarly, if CDLL(..., GetLastError=True) or WinDLL(...,
GetLastError=True) is used, the win32 api function 'SetLastError(0)' is
used to reset the windows last error code before the actual call, and
the value returned by 'GetLastError()' is attached as 'LastError'
attribute to the function object, in thread local storage.  Of course
this only occurs on Windows.

The LastError and errno attributes are readonly from Python code,
accessing them before a foreign function call has occurred in the
current thread raises a ValueError.

Message-ID: <1200093299.88.0.890377527012.issue1800@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Lenard Lindstrom:

When a callback is created with an array argument and then is called
from Python the callback function receives an array full of garbage.

Here is an example:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from ctypes import *
>>> A = c_int * 1
>>> A
<class '__main__.c_long_Array_1'>
>>> Foo = CFUNCTYPE(None, A)
>>> def py_foo(a):
...     print a
...     print a[0]
...
>>> foo = Foo(py_foo)
>>> foo(A(42))
<__main__.c_long_Array_1 object at 0x00B54440>
11879448

It works correctly when the callback is declared with a pointer argument
instead:

>>> A = c_int * 1
>>> Foo = CFUNCTYPE(None, POINTER(c_int))
>>> def py_foo(p):
...     print p
...     print p[0]
...
>>> foo = Foo(py_foo)
>>> foo(A(42))
<ctypes.LP_c_long object at 0x00B54440>
42

New submission from Thomas Lee:

This patch against HEAD provides the inverse operations to all the
ast2obj_* functions in Python/Python-ast.c: effectively, this allows
conversion to & from a PyObject representation of a Python AST.

Additionally, it updates the compile() builtin to allow it to compile
Python ASTs to bytecode.

The patch seems to work for most simple cases, but crashes out with a
segfault when trying to compile functions for some reason.

Division of two longs can produce results that are needlessly 
inaccurate:

>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 10**40/10**39
10.000000000000002

The correct result is, of course, 10.0, which is exactly representable 
as a float.

The attached snippet of Python code shows that things don't have to be 
this way.

New submission from Peter Donis:

When running doctest.testfile on a Linux machine, testing a txt file 
saved on a Windows machine, doctest raised a SyntaxError exception for 
each Windows newline in the txt file. On examining the code in the 
_load_testfile function, it looks to me like there are actually two 
issues:

(1) When there is no package keyword argument given, or the package 
argument points to a package without a __loader__.get_data method, the 
txt file data is retrieved by calling open(filename).read(); this is 
the code path that my Windows-saved file triggered. However, since the 
default file mode for open is 'r', not 'rU', there is no universal 
newline conversion done on the file data. This was the issue I 
initially observed.

(2) When there is a package.__loader__.get_data method found, that 
method reads the data (using file mode 'rb'), and then newline 
conversion is performed by this line:

return file_contents.replace(os.linesep, '\n')

This does not seem to match what universal newline conversion does; 
that is supposed to convert both '\r\n' and '\r' to '\n', but running 
on Linux, os.linesep is '\n', so the replace operation in the current 
code is a no-op, even if the txt file was saved with Windows or Mac 
newlines. It seems to me that the correct operation would be:

for linesep in ('\r\n', '\r'):
   file_contents = file_contents.replace(linesep, '\n')

I have attached a diff against the current svn trunk showing my 
suggested fix for both of the above issues.

New submission from ?rni M?r J?nsson:

When switching to a turkish locale, the codecs registry fails on a codec
lookup which worked before the locale change.

This happens when the codec name contains an uppercase 'I'. What
happens, is just before doing a cache lookup, the string is normalized,
which includes a call to <ctype.h>'s tolower. tolower is locale
dependant, and the turkish locale handles 'I's different from other
locales. Thus, the lookup fails, since the normalization behaves
differently then it did before.

Replacing the tolower() call with this made the lookup work:

int my_tolower(char c)
{
	if ('A' <= c && c <= 'Z')
		c += 32;

	return c;
}

PS: If the turkish locale is not supported, this here will enable it to
an Ubuntu system

a) sudo cp /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
   (or just copy the lines with "tr" in them)
b) sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

New submission from Daniel Eloff:

There seems to be no way to skip the build step when running "setup.py
install" The behavior in such a case should be to skip build and use the
existing binaries as created in a separate build step or else print an
error. That way you can do "setup.py build" followed by "setup.py
install --skip-build" and you only have one build taking place.

The purpose of this would be to allow build to take place on a separate
computer to install. Currently I do this on Vista because MSVC 2003 is
not recommended or supported, and distutils won't use the installed MSVC
2005. So I do the build on a (virtual) XP machine and then install by
hand for lack of this option. I think Vista is a strong enough use case
to justify adding this feature.

Here's a proof-of-concept patch.  If approved, will change from

The idea corresponds to what is currently done by the dict reader but
returns a space and time efficient named tuple instead of a dict.  Field
order is preserved and named attribute access is supported.

A writer is not needed because named tuples can be feed into the
existing writer just like regular tuples.

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

This is a patch for SVN trunk which substantially speeds up function
calls with named parameters. It does so by taking into account that
parameter names should be interned, so before doing full compares we do
a first quick loop to compare pointers.

On a microbenchmark the speedup is quite distinctive:

# With patch
$ ./python -m timeit -s "def f(a,b,c,d,e): pass" "f(1,2,3,4,e=5)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.515 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "def f(a,b,c,d,e): pass" "f(a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4,e=5)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.652 usec per loop

# Without patch
$ ./python-orig -m timeit -s "def f(a,b,c,d,e): pass" "f(1,2,3,4,e=5)"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.664 usec per loop

Here's a couple more if you want to proceed down that path:

1. Have structseq subclass from PyTupleObject so that isinstance(s,
tuple) returns True.  This makes the object usable whenever 
tuples are needed.

2. Add _fields, _asdict, and _replace to match the API in
collections.namedtuple().  The _fields tuple should only include the 
visible positional fields while _asdict() and _replace() should include
all of the fields whether visible or accessible only by 
attribute access.

3. Change the constructor to accept keyword args so that eval(repr(s))

I've marked the task as easy but it's not a task for a total newbie.
It's a feasible yet challenging task for somebody who likes to get into
CPython core programming. Basic C knowledge is required!

New submission from Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven:

FreeBSD has in its ports currently a change for Modules/_ctypes/libffi/
configure.ac that adds amd64-*-freebsd* next to x86_64. I have attached 
said patch (but updated to be a diff to trunk) and I hope it can be 
changed in trunk to minimize patches in the ports tree.

	email.mime.multipart.MIMEMultipart.is_multipart() returns
	false before items have been added.

New submission from Jonathan Share:

Steps to reproduce
==================
>>> from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
>>> foo = MIMEMultipart()
>>> foo.is_multipart()
False

Expected Result
===============
True should be returned from MIMEMultipart.is_multipart()

Notes
=====
Looking at the implementation of is_multipart() in email.Message it 
would appear that if self._payload was initialised to an empty list in 
the constructor of MIMEMultipart when _subparts is None, this would be 
a sufficient fix for this issue.

However, from an outsider looking into this code for the first time, 
this doesn't look like the best architecture, shouldn't the issue of 
whether a message has multiple parts, and logic specific to this be 
handled through inheritance. With the current implementation the 
superclass makes assumptions about how a subclass is implemented, this 
just feels wrong. Have I missed something, is there a good reason for 
things being as they are today?

Feel free to take the discussion to the python-dev list, I have just 
subscribed, and I am interested in fixing this issue myself in the next 
bug day if someone can answer my questions above.

New submission from Jonathan Share:

Steps to Reproduce
==================
>>> from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
>>> from email.mime.text import MIMEText
>>> multipart = MIMEMultipart()
>>> multipart.set_charset('UTF-8')
>>> text = MIMEText("sample text")
>>> multipart.attach(text)
>>> print multipart.as_string()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; charset="utf-8";
        boundary="===============0973828728=="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

--===============0973828728==
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

sample text
--===============0973828728==--
>>> multipart = MIMEMultipart()
>>> multipart.attach(text)
>>> multipart.set_charset('UTF-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/
email/message.py", line 262, in set_charset
    self._payload = charset.body_encode(self._payload)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/
email/charset.py", line 384, in body_encode
    return email.base64mime.body_encode(s)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/
email/base64mime.py", line 148, in encode
    enc = b2a_base64(s[i:i + max_unencoded])
TypeError: b2a_base64() argument 1 must be string or read-only buffer, 
not list

Explanation
===========
The first example above demonstrates that if you call set_charset('UTF-
8') on a MIMEMultipart instance before adding child parts then it is 
possible to generate a multipart/* message with an illegal Content-
Transfer-Encoding as specified by RFC 2045[1] "If an entity is
   of type "multipart" the Content-Transfer-Encoding is not permitted to
   have any value other than "7bit", "8bit" or "binary"."

In the second example, I demonstrate that if you try and call 
set_charset after adding child parts, the code exceptions. The user 
should at least be provided with a more targeted exception.

Notes
=====
Where should this be fixed? The smallest fix would be to add a check to 
set_charset to see if it is dealing with with a multipart message but 
as I express in issue1822 I feel the better design would be to move 
this subtype specific logic into the appropriate subclass.

Again, this is something I'm willing to work on in next saturday's bug 
day if I can get some feedback on my architectural concerns.

New submission from Barry A. Warsaw:

operator.attrgetter() is neutered because it only accepts a single
attribute name, but it would really be much more useful if it accepted,
and followed a dotted attribute path, e.g.:

sorted(seq, key=operator.attrgetter('person.displayname'))

Of course attrgetter() would raise AttributeError if the entire path
could not be traversed.

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

Rather than just documenting that this can be done, it is better to
simply provide working implementations that show exactly how to subclass
the Queue module.  This also lets users easily select or switch between
the most appropriate structure.  Since API is the same, the learning
curve is near zero.

If accepted, will add a full set of tests.

New submission from Jim Wilson:

at http://docs.python.org/lib/database-objects.html, under "See Also:",
the link, MSIOpenView leads nowhere.  From earlier reading, I suspect it
should be "MSIDatabaseOpenView" (or perhaps
"MSIDatabaseOpenViewPaddedOutEvenMoreToMakeYourEyesGlazeOver").

Satanic Verses sayeth:  "The Codepage Summary property must be set
before any string properties are set in the summary information.", but
so far as I can tell, PID_CODEPAGE is never used in msilib.__init__.py,
etal.

Confirming evidence: msilib's GetProperty(msilib.PID_CODEPAGE) raises
"Not Implemented" on Python2.5.1's own .msi file.

And as with all problems of this sort... sometimes the program exits
normally without any problems.

I ran python trunk:60012 under gdb above.  But these problems occur on
older versions such as 2.4.

New submission from Ren? Stadler:

The commit to r45234 has added an internally used keyword attribute
named _deadstate to subprocess.Popen.poll, which is called by the
__del__ method of this class.  If you derived your own class from
subprocess.Popen that overrides .poll() without taking kwargs, the
__del__ method will trigger a TypeError about the unexpected keyword
argument.

Attached is a very simple test program that triggers the problem.  It
runs just fine with Python 2.4 however.

New submission from Patrick Bureau:

In Python 2.4, retrieving sched's scheduler.queue class member would
return a time ordered list of events as expected. 

Since Python 2.5, the same operation retrieves a list of unordered
scheduled events. This makes it difficult to know which events are
really next in queue, especially if scheduled at the same time.

New submission from Rich:

Issue 1743 might be related to this.

Using "Save As..." in IDLE does work, but if breakpoints.lst is hidden 
(which it is when Python generates it) it also generates this error in 
the Shell:

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Python25\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1403, in 
__call__

store_file_breaks
    new_file = open(self.breakpointPath,"w")
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission 
denied: 'C:\\Users\\Rich\\.idlerc\\breakpoints.lst'

The error is not generated if I manually unhide the breakpoints file.
The issue is unaffected by the hidden (or not) status of the .idlerc 
folder.

New submission from phil:

In PyInt_FromString(), please change the type of the first
arg from char * to const char *.  That is, of course, if
the function indeed does not write to the string.  (I took
a quick look at the code; it doesn't appear to.)

If the function does modify the string, it should be
documented.

I'm getting a compiler error in some C++ code when I
use a std::string::c_str() as the arg.  Of course, I could
cast away the const, but paranoid as I am, I'd like
reassurance that I can do so with impunity.  :-)

New submission from Santiago Gala:

Basically I'm finding to simple errors:

 * an iterable where it expects a list, I solved it using a simple list
comprehension on the original iterable
 * it tries to write a string to the socket, I used "UTF-8" both in the
Content-Type header and in the conversion to bytes. It could easyly be
parameterized.

This two changes enabled me to get a basic pydoc running.

New submission from Peter Fein:

threading.local doesn't free attributes assigned to a local() instance
when the assigning thread exits.  See attached patch for
_threading_local.py doctests.

Per discussion with Crys and arkanes in #python, this may be an issue
with  PyThreadState_Clear / PyThreadState_GetDict

This appears to affect both thread._local and _threading_local.py

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1869] Builtin round function is sometimes
	inaccurate for floats
In-Reply-To: <1200704666.74.0.121276369369.issue1869@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>
Message-ID: <1200704666.74.0.121276369369.issue1869@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Mark Dickinson:

The documentation for the builtin round(x, n) says:

"Values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus n."

This isn't always true;  for example:

Python 2.6a0 (trunk:59634M, Dec 31 2007, 17:27:56) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> round(562949953421312.5, 1)
562949953421312.62

Here 562949953421312.5 is exactly representable as an IEEE754 double, so the output from the round function should be 
exactly the same as the input.

Assigning this to myself to remind me to try to fix it someday.

New submission from Thomas Heller:

Currently the struct module uses the format code 't' for the bool
datatype (this was added in python 2.6, in revision 53508).  This
conflicts with the specification in PEP 3118, which proposes the '?'
format character for the bool type, 't' is proposed in the patch for a
bit type.

This patch changes the struct module format code for 'bool' from 't' to '?'.

At http://docs.python.org/lib/thread-objects.html, under join(), it says:

"As join() always returns None, you must call isAlive() to decide whether a timeout 
happened."

This would be better if it were more explicit, i.e.

"As join() always returns None, you must call isAlive() after calling join() to 
decide whether a timeout happened; a return value of True indicates the join() call 
timed out."

New submission from Jonathan Share:

Although the documentation of FeedParser states that "It will populate 
a message object's defects attribute with a list of any problems it 
found in a message." no defect is found in the test case I am about to 
upload. The message in the test case is broken because it specifies a 
Content-Transfer-Encoding that is not valid for multipart/* messages[1].

I've spent some time today looking at the parser and cannot see where 
the parser is doing anything with the Content-Transfer-Encoding of a 
multipart message, leading me to believe that there might be another 
bug here with regards to not honoring Content-Transfer-Encoding at all 
for multipart/* messages but I don't have any more time today to look 
at it, I'll have to go away and read the rfc really well.

If someone can guide me on how to get this test to pass then I can 
probably get a good test case and fix written for issue1823 as well.

New submission from Armin Rigo:

Can you guess why importing the attached x.py does nothing, without
printing "hello" at all?

The real issue shown in that example is that 'return' and 'yield'
outside a function are ignored instead of giving a SyntaxError if they
are optimized away by 'if 0:'.  

(Hint about x.py: the yield sets the CO_GENERATOR flag before it gets
optimized away.  So clearly, that's a way to comment out a whole module
-- just put "if 0: yield" anywhere at top-level...)

                raise SyntaxError
        self.failUnlessRaises(AttributeError,
operator.attrgetter('foo'), C())

Obviously "__getattr" has no effect. However, when changing it to
"__getattr__", the test fails. Is there is any motivation for this test
in the first place? If yes, why the typo and why the error when the typo
is corrected?

New submission from Paul Pogonyshev:

I have a regression from Python 2.5 to Python SVN (would-be-2.6).  I
believe this because of class attribute caching.  The problem shown
below happens because AbstractGCProtector is an extension class.  So,
Python interpreter doesn't have a chance to notice set_default() method
below changes a class attribute.

>>> from notify.all import *
>>> original_protector = AbstractGCProtector.default
>>> new_protector = FastGCProtector ()
>>> AbstractGCProtector.default is new_protector
False
>>> AbstractGCProtector.default is original_protector
True

Please note that this a regression.  This code works as expected in 2.3
and 2.5.

New submission from Mark Dickinson:

On OS X 10.4, and probably other versions of OS X too, calls to math.log and math.sqrt that 
should raise ValueError instead return a NaN:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from math import sqrt, log 
>>> sqrt(-1)
nan
>>> log(-1)
nan

The problem is that OS X doesn't set errno in these cases.  Attached is a quick fix for this.  
Note that there's already a test for this (test_exceptions in test_math.py), but this test is 
only run in verbose mode.

New submission from David W. Lambert:

Please generalize math.hypot.  While I don't have a survey of python 
codes, it seems to me unlikely for this change to break existing 
programs.

import math

def hypot(*args):
    '''
        Return the Euclidean vector length.
        >>> from math import hypot, sqrt
        >>> hypot(5,12)    # traditional definition
        13.0
        >>> hypot()
        0.0
        >>> hypot(-6.25)
        6.25
        >>> hypot(1,1,1) == sqrt(3) # diagonal of unit box
        True
    '''
    return math.sqrt(sum(arg*arg for arg in args))


I propose this version as closest to:
>>> print sys.version
2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jan  4 2008, 17:15:14) 
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)]
>>> print math.hypot.__doc__
hypot(x,y)

Return the Euclidean distance, sqrt(x*x + y*y).

Thanks,
Dave.

PS.  I don't understand why python is so restrictive.  Although hypot 
is in the math library, it could be written in EAFP style as

def hypot(*args):
    return sum(arg*arg for arg in args)**0.5

Rather than review the entire python library for items to generalize, 
I'll accept that the resulting errors would confuse "the penguin on my 
tele".  "hypot" crosses me most often.  I've not yet needed a version 
in the complex domain, such as my second version.

I typically fill my need for length with scipy.sqrt(scipy.dot(v,v)), 
only to realize that for the short vectors I use, standard python 
constructs always perform faster than scipy

New submission from Ralf Schmitt:

The parser can handle nested structures only up to a certain limit.
The limit is currently reached around 33 deeply nested lists, which is a
bit too low.

This patch increases that limit by a factor of 10.

see http://bugs.python.org/issue215555 for further discussion.

PEP 0263 allows an encoding declaration in the second line, but
py_compile seems not to recognize such ones:

I believe Codepage (a summary property which must be set *before* any
other string value), is a string.  Documentation admits it might also be
an integer, but it doesn't matter.  Both foo.SetProperty(PID_CODEPAGE,
'1252') and foo.SetProperty(PID_CODEPAGE, 1252) raise "unknown error 65d".

I believe 0x65d  (1629d)  to be ERROR_DATATYPE_MISMATCH.

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola':

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1: Run "python setup.py sdist --formats=gztar,tar".
2. dist directory now contains "module.gztar" and "module.tar" files
as expected.
3: Run "python setup.py sdist --formats=tar,gztar".
4. dist directory now contains only "module.gztar" file.

Reason:
Since for every argument specified in "--formats" option a new .tar file
is created every time by using the UNIX tar utility, the .tar file is
removed/overwritten when creating subsequent archives.

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola':

Currently creating tar, gztar, bztar source distributions using the
"--formats=tar,gztar,bztar" distutils option requires external utilities
(tar and possibly one of gzip, bzip2, or compress) to be installed on
the system since distutils uses them.
This is not a problem on most UNIX systems which provide these utilities
by default.  On all other systems (e.g. Windows) it is required to
install such utilities separately and have the executables available in
a directory on your PATH in order to have them work.

I discussed this on distutils mailing list [1] and tried to fix this
hassle. 
The patch in attachment permit to use the distutils
"--formats=tar,gztar,bztar" option without need of having tar/gzip/bzip2
utilities installed by using the tarfile module instead of os.spawn().
It also fixes bug #1885 [2].

New submission from Monty Taylor:

I've been using distutils as part of a larger automake-managed project.
One of the functions that automake provides is "make distcheck" which it
has been especially hard to get distutils to play along with. 

So I added a src-dir option to allow for passing src dir to the build.

hi, all. my friend found a strange behave with 'global', I posted it
in the 'python-list at python.org' as this:
[quote]
why the following 2 prg give different results? a.py is ok, but b.py
is 'undefiend a'
I am using Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 18 2007, 08:51:08) [MSC
v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
#a.py

        global a
    a=1

run()
a

#b.py
def run():
      a=1

run()
a
[/quote]

I believe that is bug which breaks the consistency of python syntax and
common english langauge sense- just like we can do '1>None' in 
python2.x,
but not in python 3.x.
So please fix this bug.
If you do think that is the feature of python and refuse to fix it, 
please
at least mention the craziness in the document. Uhm, maybe I can do the 
later,
but I don't think it is good.


btw, there are some replies(you can search them in the archive), I 
think the
other users met more questions, for example

Yes, but now I've noticed that the 0 has some magic. The code above 
works
with 0, 0.0, 0j and ''. Using None, False, () or [] as the condition, 
will
trigger the (expected) syntax error.

Mmm, it may be the peephole optimizer, eliminating the dead branch. This
function has an empty body:

def f():
  if 0: print "0"
  if 0.0: print "0.0"
  if 0j: print "0j"
  if '': print "empty"

py> dis.dis(f)
  5           0 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              3 RETURN_VALUE

The other false values tested (False, None, () and []) aren't optimized
out.

New submission from Andrew Dalke:

The reference manual documentation for raw string literals says

"""Note also that a single backslash followed by a newline is
interpreted as those two characters as part of the string, *not* as a line
continuation."""

This is not the observed behavior.

>>> s = """ABC\
... 123"""
>>> s
'ABC123'
>>> 

Line continuations are ignored by triple quoted strings.



In addition, the reference manual documentation for "\x" escapes says

| ``\xhh``        | Character with hex value *hh*   | (4,5) |

where footnote (4) stays

   Unlike in Standard C, at most two hex digits are accepted.

However, the implementation requires exactly two hex digits:

>>> "\x41"
'A'
>>> "\x4."
ValueError: invalid \x escape
>>> "\x4" 
ValueError: invalid \x escape
>>>

New submission from Guillaume Nourry-Marquis:

The httplib file wasn'T supporting a timeout feature which was essential
for my load testing application I built. In order to do that, I had to
append a parameter to the connect function, which takes a socket timeout
value integer in seconds.

    def connect(self,timeout=None):
        """Connect to the host and port specified in __init__."""
        msg = "getaddrinfo returns an empty list"
        for res in socket.getaddrinfo(self.host, self.port, 0,
                                      socket.SOCK_STREAM):
            af, socktype, proto, canonname, sa = res
            try:
                self.sock = socket.socket(af, socktype, proto)
		#Guillaume's timeout
		self.sock.settimeout(timeout)
                if self.debuglevel > 0:
                    print "connect: (%s, %s)" % (self.host, self.port)
                self.sock.connect(sa)
            except socket.error, msg:
                if self.debuglevel > 0:
                    print 'connect fail:', (self.host, self.port)
                if self.sock:
                    self.sock.close()
                self.sock = None
                continue
            break
        if not self.sock:

Simple patch, but it was essential for my work.

New submission from Song Ma:

In my platform I have to disable Unicode support in Python 2.5.1. The
"configure" file provided a option "--enable-unicode=no" to allow me to
do so. However, If I ran the configure with that option and then make,
the following error showed:
Python/ast.c:3168: undefined reference to `PyUnicode_DecodeRawUnicodeEscape'
Python/ast.c:3170: undefined reference to `PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscape'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [python] Error 1

Python 2.4.4 can be compiled with this option and works well. Since
"ast.c" was newly introduced in 2.5.1. Maybe we need put MACRO
"Py_USING_UNICODE" in ast.c for function "decode_unicode()". Otherwise
it needs to modify the "configure" file to forbid "--enable-unicode=no".

However in ast.c "decode_utf8()" is using "Py_USING_UNICODE" to make it
"pluggable" for not supporting utf8. Why not do the same thing for
"decode_unicode()"?

   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> 

This is happening because the autogenerated _PyImport_Inittab in
"Modules/config.c" (sensibly) contains the following startup definition:

   /* This lives in Python/_types.c */
   {"_types", init_types},

The problem is that two distinct init_types() exist, and the
microblaze-uclinux-gcc toolchain is picking up the wrong one.

On x86 GCC producing ELF binaries, the linker picks up the correct
init_types() defined in "Modules/_typesmodule.c". The above behaviour
does not occur, and the interpreter starts up successfully.

On Microblaze GCC producing BFLT binaries, the linker instead picks up
init_types() defined in "Python/Python-ast.c", which is autogenerated
from "Parser/asdl_c.py".

The obvious fix is to change one of the init_types() to something else.

I suspect this bug is related to Issue 1568243, which has been closed
(apparently a different fix was in order for PCs.) The doubly-defined
init_types() appears to still be present in the Subversion repository.

New submission from Christian Heimes:

I've started on a back port of Python 3.0's io.py to Python 2.6. First
results are promising.

cd trunk
svn cp ../py3k/Include/bytes_methods.h Include/
svn cp ../py3k/Objects/bytes_methods.c Objects/
svn cp ../py3k/Lib/io.py Lib/
svn cp ../py3k/Lib/test/test_io.py Lib/test/
svn cp ../py3k/Modules/_fileio.c Modules/
patch -p0 < trunk_io.patch

I'm not sure how to proceed with the missing bytearray type:

 * backport bytearray and the new buffer interface from 3.0
 * write a replacement for 2.6
 * replace the bytearray code with new code

New submission from Mark Summerfield:

I am using:

Python 3.0a2 (r30a2:59382, Dec 17 2007, 08:47:22) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-13)] on linux2
IDLE 3.0a1 

This seems wrong:

>>> while False:
	print("no")
else:
	print("yes")

	
>>> 

I expected it to print "yes" because the docs say that the else suite is
executed if present and if the loop terminated normally (no break), and
this is the case here.

This works though:

>>> x = False
>>> while x:
	print("no")
else:
	print("yes")

	
yes
>>> 

So it seems that "while False" and "while variable" are giving different
behaviour.

New submission from Antti Rasinen:

Guido's document "Unifying types and classes in Python 2.2" (descrintro)
contains a confusing example for metaclass newbies. 
<http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/descrintro/#metaclass_examples>

The example in question is autoprop, which uses the variable "name" in
three different contexts. First, it is the name of the class being
created. Second, it is used in a for loop to denote the keys of the
class dict. And thirdly, it is used to denote substrings of a subset of
those keys.

Upon my first encounter with the example, I found myself staring at the
getattr and setattr lines in disbelief. I associated "name" as the
parameter given to the __init__ function.

I'd propose changing the first for-loop name to "member" or similar
and the second to "propname" or "prop". 

Furthermore, a modern version of the same example could use sets and set
comprehensions instead of dict.keys():
props = {member[5:] for member in dict if member.startswith...}

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1923] meaningful whitespace can be lost
	in rfc822_escape
In-Reply-To: <1201189441.64.0.266619284042.issue1923@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>
Message-ID: <1201189441.64.0.266619284042.issue1923@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Stephen Emslie:

distutils.util.rfc822_escape strips each line of its whitespace before
indenting, but this can mean losing meaningful whitespace, such as in
reStructuredText.


distutils uses rfc822_escape to escape fields in metadata, such as
PKG-INFO. This unfortunately means that you cant use reStructuredText
formatting in your long description (suggested in PEP345), or are
limited to a set that doesn't require indentation (no block quotes, etc.).

for example:

>>> rest = """
... a literal python block::
...     >>> import this
... """
>>> print distutils.util.rfc822_escape(rest)

       a literal python block::
       >>> import this

I would be expecting this to look something like:

       a literal python block::
           >>> import this


It looks like this behavior was intentionally added in  rev 20099, but
that was about 7 years ago - before reStructuredText and eggs. I
wonder if it makes sense to re-think that implementation with this
sort of metadata in mind, assuming this behavior isn't required to be
rfc822 compliant. I think it would certainly be a shame to miss out on
a good thing like proper (renderable) reST in our metadata.

Is distutils being over-cautious in flattening out all whitespace? A
w3c discussion on multiple lines in rfc822 [1] seems to suggest that
whitespace can be 'unfolded' safely, so it seems a shame to be
throwing it away when it can have important meaning.

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1924] %i string format breaks for large
	floats (incomplete int conversion)
In-Reply-To: <1201191290.86.0.944658382949.issue1924@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>

New submission from David Goodger:

I ran across this bug in some legacy production code when numbers got high:

>>> '%i' % 2e9
'2000000000'
>>> '%i' % 3e9
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: int argument required

It looks like the float is being automatically converted to an int, but
floats > sys.maxint cause an error.  However,

>>> int(3e9)
3000000000L

So the implicit float-to-int conversion is imperfect; large floats are
not being converted to long ints.

Same error in Python 2.3 through 2.6a0 (as of 2007-12-28).

In Python 2.1.3 & 2.2.3 the error is "OverflowError: float too large to
convert".  The same error is triggered by int(3e9) though.

While it's arguably not-quite-sane to have code that triggers this
error, the inconsistency is what concerns me.

Recently I was trying to debug an old python program who's maintenance I
inherited.  I was using the quick-and-dirty method of putting some 'print
>>sys.stderr' statements in the code, and then running the command with
'2>filename' appended to the end of the command line.  Imagine my surprise
to see that all of the prompt text from the program's raw_input calls were
also disappearing from the screen output, and appearing in the stderr
output routed to the file.

The latest documentation for raw_input states "If the prompt argument is
present, it is written to standard output without a trailing newline."
I posted a question regarding the observed behavior to comp.lang.python
and Gabriel Genellina (thanks Gabriel!) pointed out that despite the
documentation, raw_input was hard-coded to always output its prompt text
to stderr.

This raises two questions:
1. Shouldn't the current documentation be corrected to state that raw_input
writes its prompt to standard error?
2. Is this really the hard-coded behavior we want?  I don't think my
use-case is that odd; in fact, what I find very odd is that the prompt
output is send to stderr.  I mean, I'm printing the prompt for a question,
not some error message. Can there not at least be an optional parameter to
indicate that you want the output sent to stdout rather than stderr?

... after a few responses ...

New submission from Georgij Kondratjev:

(With current python3-svn)
While trying to response.read() got this:

---
  File "/usr/lib/python3.0/httplib.py", line 533, in read
    return self._read_chunked(amt)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.0/httplib.py", line 573, in _read_chunked
    i = line.find(";")
TypeError: expected an object with the buffer interface
---

To debug I did this:
---
 line = self.fp.readline()
+print(' ***', line)
 i = line.find(b";")
---
and got "*** b'2e6d\r\n'" followed by those TypeError exception.
I did this:
---
    def _read_chunked(self, amt):
        assert self.chunked != _UNKNOWN
        chunk_left = self.chunk_left
-       value = ""
+       value = b""

            if chunk_left is None:
                line = self.fp.readline()
-               i = line.find(";")
+               i = line.find(b";")

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola':

The current os.path.isabs documentation says:

> isabs(path) 
>    Return True if path is an absolute pathname (begins with a slash). 

The "begins with a slash" part is incorrect since certain systems use a
different pathname notation.
For example, on Macintosh (where os.sep == ":") this is an absolute
pathname:

hardDriveName:folderName1:folderName2:fileName.ext

...and this is a relative one:

:folderName1:fileName.ext


Moreover, on Windows os.path.isabs('\\') returns True since '\\' is an
alias for the current drive letter (e.g. C:\\) hence, independently from
what said before, the documentation should include also the "backslash"
term.
I think it would be better removing the "(begins with a slash)" part at all.

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc:

This is test_descr.py converted to unittest. The diff is so large that
svn diff failed!
"svn: Can't write to stream: Not enough space to process this command."
Anyway, I started from trunk, rev 60301.

The file is very large, and some functions have more than 400 lines. I
tried to group them into classes, most of the time respecting the
initial sequential order, but not always.
The class and function names may seem arbitrary sometimes. At least, I
hope that no test was lost in the process. Feel free to reorganize stuff
if you find a logic in all these tests.

I removed all print statements, and converted some statements to
unittest idioms, but not all: lots of "raise TestFailed" remain.

svn merge into py3k will be difficult; I propose to upload a py3k
version of this file, which I will make by merging differences between
trunk and py3k into this new file.

New submission from Robin Bryce:

curses.filter forces the top most window to 1 line tall and preserves
existing tty content. It must be called *before* curses.initscr in order
to acheive this.

The python documentation states that curses.filter must be called before
initscr but the implementation prevents this. It uses the
NoArgNoReturnVoidFunction macro defined in Include/py_curses.h. This
macro in turn invokes the PyCursesInitialised macro which forces an
error if initscr has not been called.

curses.filter needs an explicit definition to avoid this:

Replacing "NoArgNoReturnVoidFunction(filter)" in Modules/_cursesmodule.c
with

static PyObject *PyCurses_filter (PyObject *self)
{
  /* MUST NOT BE PyCursesInitialised */
  filter(); \
  Py_INCREF(Py_None);
  return Py_None;
}

Would allow curses.filter to be called as documented. But really should
get a check for "!PyCursesInitialised".

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

This is an attempt at improving allocation of str (PyUnicode) objects.
For that it does two things:
1. make str objects PyVarObjects, so that the object is allocated in one
pass rather than two
2. maintain an array of freelists, each for a given str length, so that
many str allocations can bypass actual memory allocation calls

There is a ~10% speedup in stringbench, and a slight improvement in
pybench (as invoked with "./python Tools/pybench/pybench.py -t String").
Also, memory consumption is a bit lower when running those benchmarks.

New submission from Alexandre Vassalotti:

I was wandering whether the pointer returned by PyUnicode_AsString needs
to be freed after usage (It turned it doesn't since the result is
cached). However, I found out that there isn't any documentation on
docs.python.org about the PyUnicode_AsString and
PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize functions. Although, both are documented in
the public unicodeobject.h header.

I notice that the documentation for several other unicode functions is
missing. Quickly, I see:

  PyUnicode_Resize
  PyUnicode_InternImmortal
  PyUnicode_GetDefaultEncoding
  PyUnicode_SetDefaultEncoding
  PyUnicode_BuildEncodingMap
  PyUnicode_FromFormatV
  PyUnicode_*UTF7*
  PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject
  PyUnicode_FromOrdinal
  PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault
  PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize

It would probably be a good idea to polish up the documentation for
PyUnicode as much as possible for Python 3000, since extension
developers will certainly need to refer to it a lot during the
transition from 2.x.

re.search(r'a(b[^b]*b|[^c])*cxxx',

perl seems to handle this just fine.

(The original problem was trying to translate some html to text:
re.sub(r'<p(?:"[^"]*"|[^>])*>(.*?)</p>', r'\1\n')

This hanged on several files. Changing [^>] to [^">] resolved my
problem, but the general case remains.)

This might be a dupe of http://bugs.python.org/issue1297193

I have found a few instances of the following pattern in Py3k: 

   char buf[MAX];
   len = PyUnicode_GET_SIZE(str);
   if (len >= MAX)
       /* return error */
   strcpy(buf, PyUnicode_AsString(str));

which could overflow if str contains non-ASCII characters. These were
probably introduced during the PyString -> PyUnicode transition. Anyway,
I got a patch that fixes (hopefully) most of these bugs.

New submission from Adam Goucher:

There are a couple places in unittest where 'issubclass(something,
TestCase)' is used. This prevents you from organizing your test code via
class hierarchies. To solve this problem, issubclass should be looking
whether the object is a subclass of unittest.TestCase to walk the
inheritance tree all the way up and not just a single level.

Currently, this will not work.
module A..
class A(unittest.TestCase):
    pass

module B...
import A

class B(A.A)
    def testFoo(self):
        print "blah blah blah

I have attached a patch which will address all locations where this
could happen.

(IPv6 addresses) when Python has been compiled with IPv6 support and the
system kernel does not support IPv6.

import socket

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1962] ctypes feature request: Automatic
	type conversion of input arguments to C functions
In-Reply-To: <1201597182.13.0.442457985171.issue1962@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>
Message-ID: <1201597182.13.0.442457985171.issue1962@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from mattbaas:

This is rather a feature request instead of a bug report. 
Below is the mail I posted to the ctypes-users mailing list. In short: 
When ctypes checks input argument types using the "argtypes" attribute, 
it would be useful if it would try to convert the input value 
automatically if it isn't already an appropriate ctypes type (but a 
"compatible" Python type).

Here is the full mail with some examples:

I'm wrapping a couple of C functions from a DLL and I'm using the 
argtypes attribute to declare the types of the input arguments. I can 
call the functions just fine, but I was wondering why I have to provide 
the exact ctypes type as input when using more complex types such as 
arrays or callbacks (whereas Python floats are automatically converted).

Here is an example code snippet (I was using Python 2.5 on WinXP). The 
library ri.dll contains the functions RiColor() which takes an array of 
3 floats as input and a function RiErrorHandler() which takes a pointer 
to a function as input:

   # Create the required types...
   RtColor = 3*c_float
   RtErrorHandler = CFUNCTYPE(None, c_int, c_int, c_char_p)

   # Load the library and declare the input arguments...
   ri = cdll.LoadLibrary("ri.dll")
   ri.RiColor.argtypes = [RtColor]
   ri.RiErrorHandler.argtypes = [RtErrorHandler]

Now I can call the color function like this:

   ri.RiColor(RtColor(1,0,0))

But sometimes it would be more convenient to work with other types like 
tuples, lists or, in this case, a special vector type (that may come 
from another module but that behaves like a list of 3 floats).
But when I try to pass in just a Python tuple or list I get the 
following errors:

   ri.RiColor((1,0,0))

   --> ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 
Don't know how to convert parameter 1

   ri.RiColor([1,0,0])

   --> ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: 
expected c_float_Array_3 instance instead of list

Similarly with the error handler function. I have to wrap a Python 
function with the RtErrorHandler type, otherwise ctypes won't accept it:

   def errHandler(code, severity, message):
       pass

   ri.RiErrorHandler(RtErrorHandler(errHandler)) # works
   ri.RiErrorHandler(errHandler)                 # produces a TypeError


So whenever an input type doesn't match what was specified in argtypes, 
couldn't ctypes try to convert the value before issuing an error? (it 
works with floats, so why not with other types as well?)
The conversion could just be done by passing the value to the 
constructor of the required type. In the color example this also means 
that array types should also accept sequences as input (i.e. anything 
that supports iteration and has the right number of elements).

I think this modification to ctypes would make the wrapped functions 
more flexible without having to write additional wrapper functions in 
Python.

New submission from Thomas Wouters:

Patch to backport dictviews to trunk. Consists of some trickery:

 - new 'viewkeys', 'viewvalues' and 'viewitems' methods of dicts,
returning exactly what 'keys', 'values' and 'items' return in 3.0: three
new types defined in dictobject.c
 - a future import (dictviews) that changes which opcodes are generated
for (some) attribute access
 - special opcodes for getting and setting 'keys', 'values' and 'items'
attributes from an object. These opcodes do nothing special unless a
future import is in effect in the calling code block *and* the type they
are called on is a dict subclass, in which case they translate 'keys',
'values' and 'items' to 'viewkeys', 'viewvalues' and 'viewitems'.
 - similar specialcasing in getattr() and setattr()

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

The Py2.6 code has __round__, __ceil__, and __floor__ methods still in
several objects (int, longs, float, Rational) but they are not invoked
by anything.   For example, round(Rational(22,7)) does not use the
Rational.__round__ code and round(22) does not use the code for
int.__round__; the code is just ignored.  Since the code is not used, it
probably shouldn't be in Py2.6.

I think these backports happened before Guido decided, "I think the
pre-3.0 rule should be: round(), math.floor(), math.ceil()
*always* return a float."  Probably, rev 59731 may have intended to
revert these changes but just missed them.  IIRC, the decision was that
only __trunc__ would be backported and the other three magic methods
would wait for Py3.0 where their invocation functions would get their
new signature and start calling the magic methods.

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

In the bytearray type, the split and rsplit methods use a different
definition of what is a whitespace character. split_whitespace calls
ISSPACE(), while rsplit_whitespace calls Py_UNICODE_ISSPACE(). The
latter is probably an error since it is also inconsistent with behaviour
of the bytes type:

>>> s = b"\x09\x0A\x0B\x0C\x0D\x1C\x1D\x1E\x1F"
>>> s.split()
[b'\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f']
>>> s.rsplit()
[b'\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f']
>>> b = bytearray(s)
>>> b.split()
[bytearray(b'\x1c\x1d\x1e\x1f')]
>>> b.rsplit()
[]

Message-ID: <1201653875.04.0.391438542079.issue1970@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

Currently the PyUnicode type uses a function call and several lookups
per character to detect whitespace and linebreaks. This slows down
considerably the split(), rsplit() and splitlines() methods. Since the
overwhelming majority of whitespace and linebreaks are ASCII characters,
it makes sense to have a fast lookup table for the common case. Patch
attached (also with another tiny change which helps compiler
optimization of split/rsplit here).

(this may also help other methods like strip() a bit, but in that case
the impact of whitespace detection is probably negligible)

Some numbers:

# With patch
$ ./python -m timeit -s "s=open('LICENSE', 'r').read()" "s.splitlines()"
10000 loops, best of 3: 127 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit -s "s=open('LICENSE', 'r').read()" "s.split()"

	incorrectly folding long subject header

New submission from Chris Withers:

Somewhere in email.MIMEText.MIMEText.as_string (I'm not sure where) long
subject headers are folded using a newline followed by a tab:

>>> from email.MIMEText import MIMEText
>>> m = MIMEText('foo')
>>> m['Subject']='AA '*40
>>> m.as_string()
'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"\nMIME-Version:
1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\nSubject: AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA
AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA\n\tAA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA
AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA \n\nfoo'

While RFC 822 section 3.1.1 doesn't forbid this type of folding, the
current behaviour mis-renders in both Thunderbird and Outlook.

Messages generated by Thunderbird and Outlook represent the above
subject as follows:

'Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"\nMIME-Version:
1.0\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\nSubject: AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA
AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA\n AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA
AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA \n\nfoo'

Could the email library be adjusted to do the same? Years of wondering
why mails re-sent by mailman, mails from any number of python web
systems and recent complaints from customers of mine of mis-rendered
emails could be solved by doing so.

New submission from Andriy Pylypenko:

Hello,

This issue is actually a follow up of issue 960406. The patch applied
there brought in a problem at least under FreeBSD. The problem is
extremely annoying so I made an effort to uncover the source of it.

Here is an example code that shows the problem:

    some_time = 6000000 # seconds

    class MyThread(Thread):
        def run(self):
            while (True):
                time.sleep(some_time)

    t = MyThread()
    t.start()
    while(True):
        select.select(None, None, None, some_time)

Start this script, then try to interrupt it by hitting Control-C. If you
run this code under Linux you won't see any problem. But under FreeBSD
the script won't stop until the timeout in main thread occurs or some
activity takes place on descriptors passed to the select().

My investigation showed that the source of the problem is in that how
signals are processed. FreeBSD processes signals in opposite order than
Linux. For example suppose we have a program that starts one user thread
and allows both main and user threads to receive signals. Under Linux
the signal handler always fires up in context of the main thread, but
under FreeBSD the signal handler runs in context of the user thread. 
POSIX doesn't state which behavior is correct so both behaviors should
be assumed to be correct and Python should be aware of them both. Before
the patch from 960406 the Python made effort to deny signal handling in
user threads but the patch dropped this code and all threads are allowed
to handle signals.

Let's return to the script. When running the script under Linux the
select() call is the one that gets interrupted by the signal and this
allows the script to shutdown quickly. But under FreeBSD the sleep()
call is interrupted by the signal leaving the main thread to wait on
select() until timeout.

The description of issue 960406 states:

"This is a patch which will correct the issues some people have with
python's handling of signal handling in threads. It allows any thread to
initially catch the signal mark it as triggered, allowing the main
thread to later process it."

And yes it behaves exactly as described but this behavior is
inconsistent between different OSes.

To make things predictable I've restored the code that ensures that
signal handler will run in context of main thread only:

long
PyThread_start_new_thread(void (*func)(void *), void *arg)
{
    ...
+   sigset_t set, oset;
    ...
+   sigfillset(&set);
+   SET_THREAD_SIGMASK(SIG_BLOCK, &set, &oset);
    pthread_create(...)
+   SET_THREAD_SIGMASK(SIG_SETMASK, &oset, NULL);
    ...

and this works perfectly for me under FreeBSD and Linux at least for my
needs. It doesn't bring any visible changes to readline behavior either.
I'm using the 2.5.1 version of Python. In attach you can find this patch
against the trunk.

I'm not Python guru but let me try to display my vision of the situation.

As I understand, my change does nothing for applications written in pure
Python and running under Linux (without user modules written in C and
using special thread and signal handling). Signals under Linux have
absolutely no chance to be caught from within user threads as Python
doesn't provide any way to alter the signal mask and with the default
signal mask the signals always arrive to the main thread. So explicit
prohibition to handle signals from within user thread doesn't change
anything. On the other hand this change ensures that under FreeBSD
things go exactly like under Linux.

Of course this change can possibly break some C-written module that
relies on signal handling in context of user thread (as the signal mask
of the user thread must be modified explicitly now). But anyway this is
how things are meant to work in order to be portable. So I'm considering
this possibility as highly unlikely.

I suppose the Mac OS X is affected also as it's based on FreeBSD.

The patch adds a new test and a new executable. The executable calls
Py_Initialze() and Py_Finalize() multiple times in a row. The test also
shows that Python looses about 35 references in each round.

Python-2.5.1 will be crashed when i use _ssl module in multi-threads 
environment in linux. the sample code looks as below(A https server is 
running on host which ip is "192.168.5.151" and many certificates and 
keys in PEM format are in the directory "./cert". These certificates 
and keys are ok because i can use them in a web browser like IE/
Firefox.):

Subject: [New-bugs-announce] [issue1979] Make Decimal comparisons with NaN
	less arbitrary
In-Reply-To: <1201754782.28.0.976193131321.issue1979@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>
Message-ID: <1201754782.28.0.976193131321.issue1979@psf.upfronthosting.co.za>


New submission from Mark Dickinson:

For Python 3.0 the decimal module got rich comparisons.  Those comparisons have somewhat unconventional 
behavior with respect to NaNs, as seen below:  <, <= and == comparisons involving NaNs always return False, 
while >, >= and != comparisons always return True.

The Decimal specification has nothing helpful to say about comparisons involving NaNs.  But reading IEEE-
754r (on which the Decimal specification is closely based), there are two possible options:

 (1) have comparisons involving NaNs (except for !=) raise InvalidOperation in the context, and hence give a 
Python exception (assuming that InvalidOperation isn't trapped.)

 (2) have comparisons involving NaNs always return False (except for !=, which always returns True).

I think either of these is better than the current behavior.  (2) seems like the better option, for a couple 
of reasons:  first, it's the way that Python floats currently work, and second, there might be issues with 
list membership testing if equality comparisons involving NaNs raised an exception or returned a NaN.

Since Mike Cowlishaw is intimately involved with both the Decimal specification and the IEEE-754r process, I 
thought it might be useful to have his opinion on this;  his main recommendation was to have the Decimal 
type do the same as the float type.

The attached patch makes <, <=, >, >= and == comparisons involving NaNs always return False, and != 
comparisons always return True.  It also renames __cmp__ to _cmp and adds a few tests for the new behavior.

Here's how NaN comparisons currently work:

Python 3.0a2+ (py3k:60470M, Jan 30 2008, 23:11:40) 
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from decimal import *
>>> n = Decimal("nan")
>>> i = Decimal("inf")
>>> n < n
False
>>> n > n
True
>>> i < n
False
>>> i > n
True

under pdb, __file__ is not defined when executing a source code file
directly.

for example, if myprogram.py contains "print __file__", a NameError will
be raised when run with python -m pdb myprogram.py.

New submission from Alexander Shigin:

Hello,

The operator "is" works strange with methods, i.e.:

>>> a = 1
>>> a.__abs__ is a.__abs__
False

If this is the preferred behavior by some reasons, I think 
documentation should explain it.

It was tested on python 2.4.4, 2.5.1 and trunk r60477.

New submission from Andreas Balogh:

Currently serializing datetime objects into isoformat string is well
possible. The reverse process - parsing an isoformat string into a
datetime object - doesn't work due to the missing %-tag for the strftime
format string.

Proposal:
Add new tag to strftime like format strings allowing to print and parse
milliseconds.

New submission from Neil Roques:

Python's raw strings are supposed to prevent characters being
interpreted as special.  However entering the raw string r'\' into an
interactive session will result in:

Traceback (  File "<interactive input>", line 1
    r'\'
       ^
SyntaxError: EOL while scanning single-quoted string

Python seems to have escaped the close of the string, even though raw
strings are not supposed to ever escape characters.

New submission from Toni Brkic:

Hi,

I tried to do freeze.py for my script that uses ElementTree.
But got the this error:

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/xml/__init__.py", line 45, in <module>
    _xmlplus.__path__.extend(__path__)
  AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'extend'

The reason seems that _xmlplus.__path__ is a string
after freeze.py.

I fixed it by changing the import to:

            try:
                _xmlplus.__path__.extend(__path__)
                sys.modules[__name__] = _xmlplus
            except AttributeError:
                pass

This might not be the correct solution but it works for me. I do not
really now
how the __path__ variable works in a freezed environment.

Best regards
