2015-04-19 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: One small thing to bear in mind is that the existing code (ie with the extra linefeed) raises an IndentationError if cut-and-pasted into the interactive interpreter; with the OP's change, it succeeds. Might not have been their intention, but certainly is the case

[issue24005] Documentation Error: Extra line Break

2015-04-19 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: (Laughs). I admit, I was so close to the trees, I missed the fact that the doc is, as you say, a What's New, and for Python 2.4. Agree that to change this now would be somewhat ludicrous. If some similar patch were proposed to some more current, relevant

[issue23452] Build errors using VS Express 2013 in win32 mode

2015-04-12 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: Well, in the interests of due diligence, I checked out built each of the four flavours (32/64 Release/Debug) independently and without any errors. I then rebuilt each with the wrong Platform (ie for Win32 in the x64 directory and vice versa) without cleaning

[issue23861] Make stdprinter use DebugOutputString when no stdout/stderr available

[issue23856] build.bat -e shouldn't also build

2015-04-03 Thread Tim Golden
New submission from Tim Golden: PCBuild\build.bat takes an argument of -e to pull in external libraries. Either by accident or by design the main build will run in addition. However if you'd run pcbuild -e simply to pull in externals, you might not have specified extra build params

[issue21319] WindowsRegistryFinder never added to sys.meta_path

2015-04-02 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: Turns out to be non-issue after all! I was working through the import code for other reasons and noticed that the WindowsRegistryFinder was there. I'll spare you the complications of debugging the _bootstrap part of import, but basically the code in _bootstrap.py

2015-03-25 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: I think they stopped using them a while back in favour of a pywin32.pth file. I don't think I even knew you could use the registry for sys.path. If no-one's shouted since the changes to importlib (which was 3.3?) I think we can quietly drop this and hope no-one

2015-02-27 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: The problem is that this isn't an area I'm particularly familiar with (either in Python nor in Windows) so I need time to ramp up my awareness of what Steve's proposing plus then assessing the change. I'll try... but I rather hope Zach gets there first

2015-02-17 Thread Tim Golden
Tim Golden added the comment: And, just to be clear to Serhiy who I know doesn't use Windows, os.access really is a worthless function in its present form: worse, even, because it can be misleading. I have a long-standing patch to convert it to use AccessCheck but I've never quite had the guts
