[issue2922] "No windows home dir" doc error

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

The problem is that any modern Windows does not just have a single home
directory for a user, but many of them. For example, there are the
HOMEDRIVE, HOMESHARE, and HOMEPATH variables, which may or may not be set.

In the light of these, I would argue that USERPROFILE is *not* the
user's "home" directory - it is the user's "profile" directory.

So I think that the text is practically correct as it stands.

[issue2927] expose html.parser.unescape

[Tom Pinckney]

New submission from Tom Pinckney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

There is currently a private method inside of html.parser.HTMLParser to 
unescape HTML &...; style escapes. This would be useful to expose for 
other users who want to unescape a piece of HTML.

Additionally, many websites don't use proper unicode or iso-8859-1 
encodings and accidentally use Microsoft Code Page 1252 extensions. I 
added code to map these to their appropriate unicode values.

The unescaping logic was slightly simplified too.

This is my first Python patch submission, so please let me know if I've 
done anything wrong.

A new test case was also added for this functionality.

I suspect that it might be on a case by case basis whether we want to

New submission from John Burnett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

http://docs.python.org/inst/alt-install-windows.html

The above says "Windows has no concept of a user's home directory, and
since the standard Python installation under Windows is simpler than
under Unix, the --prefix option has traditionally been used to install
additional packages in separate locations on Windows."

However, any modern Windows OS does have that concept (i.e. see the
%USERPROFILE% env variable).  Not sure how to best change the above, but...

[issue2921] enable embedding: declare/#define only py* symbols in #includes

[Hallvard B Furuseth]

New submission from Hallvard B Furuseth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

It can be cumbersome to embed Python in a program which also #includes
a config.h from autoconf, because Python's and the program's autoconf
macros may interfere with each other.  Assuming it compiles at all,
both could define the same features, sometimes the same way and
sometimes differently.  Or one could be compiled with a feature macro
undefined and another with it defined, resulting in binary
incompatibility with the library which was compiled with the macro
undefined.

So one has to do something like: put the Python calls in one set of
files, the calls to the embedding program in another set, and make
them communicate via some glue code.


For this reason, please do not declare/#define symbols other than
those starting with 'py' in the include files that an embedded program
needs.  Thus, do not #include at least pyconfig.h, pymath.h and
pyport.h as they are today.

Or to keep backwards compatibility, wrap such definitions in
#ifndef PYTHON_NAMESPACE_ONLY
which an application can #define before #including Python files.

Instead, you can #define/declare symbols that match the current
autoconf symbols but are prefixed with PY_, and make use of those in
#ifdefs in the include files.  The files defining this can hopefully
be autogenerated, e.g. generate a .c file like

#include "pyconfig.h"
int main() {
#ifdef HAVE_WHATEVER
puts("PY_HAVE_WHATEVER");
#endif
...
}

Things like acosh() from pymath.h which you define if the system lacks
it, could become something like this:

#include  /* get acosh etc */
...
extern double py_acosh(double); /* always present in python */
#if !defined(PYTHON_NAMESPACE_ONLY) && !defined(HAVE_ACOSH)
/* an other package's autoconf might do the same, so hide this
 * if requested */
extern double acosh(double);
#endif
#if !defined(PYTHON_NAMESPACE_ONLY) || defined(HAVE_ACOSH)
#define py_acosh acosh /* optimization - hide wrapper function */
#endif

[issue2898] Add memory footprint query

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

> I'm torn about the extra slot; I'd rather not add one, but I can't see
> how to make this flexible enough without one.

I think adding a default __sizeof__ implementation into object
(__basicsize__ + len()*__itemsize__), plus overriding that in
subclasses, should do the trick.

Not adding the default into object would cause an exception to be
raised whenever sys.sizeof checks for __sizeof__, which is fairly
expensive.

Having to look __sizeof__ up in the class dictionary, and
creating an argument list, is still fairly expensive (given that the
application we have in mind will apply sizeof to all objects,
repeatedly), however, this being a debugging facility, this overhead is
probably ok.

[issue2920] Patch to print symbolic value or errno in EnvironmentError.__str__()

[Yannick Gingras]

New submission from Yannick Gingras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

EnvironmentError and its subclass OSError add the value of errno in 
their error message.  This value is an integer but the specific value 
in an implementation detail and the C runtime recommends that 
programmers use the symbolic values instead.  Ex: one should use 
ENODATA instead of 61.  For the same reason, the Python interpreter 
should try to return the symbolic value or errno when possible.

The attached patch replaces errno in EnvironmentError.__str__() by its 
symbolic value when possible.

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

cPickle should be gone in 3.0 and pickle should have an accelerated 
version behind it, when available.

Alexandre has been working on this (might even be checked in), so 
assigning to him to help track for PEP 3108 work.

[issue2775] Implement PEP 3108

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

OK, so it turns out the way renames have been handled breaks pre-existing 
pickles. That means that the stubs in 2.6 will actually have to be the new 
names and not the old ones.

I will work with the stdlib-sig to try to come up with a reasonable way to 
rectify the situation, but until then do NOT check in any rename patches.

Sure, and thank you for your efforts. It will be interesting to see if
it really is the package. If there is anything I can do to test, just
drop a note.

[issue2791] subprocess.py leaks fd in communicate

[Rafael Zanella]

Rafael Zanella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

I don't know a lot about the matter at hand, that's why I'm not gonna
append a patch.

On "_communicate()" after a pipe is read it's closed, doing the same on
"communicate()" seems to solve the issue of the extra pipe:

"""
 if [self.stdin, self.stdout, self.stderr].count(None) >= 2:
stdout = None
stderr = None
if self.stdin:
if input:
self.stdin.write(input)
self.stdin.close()
elif self.stdout:
stdout = self.stdout.read()
+ self.stdout.close()
elif self.stderr:
stderr = self.stderr.read()
+ self.stderr.close()
self.wait()
return (stdout, stderr)

"""

Tested on "Python 2.6a2+ (trunk:62767M, May 19 2008, 13:11:07)".

[issue2819] Full precision summation

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

The latest mathmodule patch (file 10371) looks pretty good to me.  I 
haven't looked at the complex version yet.  A few comments:

 - for setting _do_sum_pow_2 I think you should use ldexp instead of pow;  
there's a much greater chance of pow giving inexact results.

 - trying to support FLT_RADIX != 2 seems futile;  for a start, the whole 
algorithm and its proof would need to be reexamined.  Any code specific to 
FLT_RADIX != 2 would be very difficult to test---all of the Python 
buildbots are IEEE 754, for example.  I'm not sure what the best solution 
is:  perhaps math.sum should only be included when FLT_RADIX = 2, or (even 
better) when IEEE 754 is in use.  It shouldn't be too hard to add autoconf 
tests to detect the float format.

 - there are long lines in _do_sum, in violation of PEP 7;  maybe 
factoring out the memory-management code for the partials array would 
help?

 - it would be nice to have some brief comments before each of the _do_sum 
functions indicating its purpose.

[issue2916] urlgrabber.grabber calls setdefaulttimeout

[Mads Kiilerich]

New submission from Mads Kiilerich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Module docstring says """Setting this option causes urlgrabber to call
the settimeout method on the Socket object used for the request.""" But
actually it temporarily changes the global default timeout. 

If other threads are creating sockets in this short timespan they might
fail in unexpected ways.

There might not be any other easy way to set a timeout. The long term
solution should be to provide a way to do it right. A short term
workaround it to update the documentation to describe current behaviour.

[issue2915] PyObject_IsInstance() doesn't find bases named in type(name, bases, dict)

[Stefan Behnel]

New submission from Stefan Behnel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

While porting the code that Cython generates to Py3a5 (almost completed,
BTW), I noticed a problem with class creation. We are currently using
this call to create a new class in Py3:

PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs((PyObject *)&PyType_Type,
 name, bases, dict, NULL);

As an example, I subtype the built-in "list" type like this (Cython code!):

class B(list):
def append(self, *args):
for arg in args:
list.append(self, arg)

which calls type() as shown above with name="B" and bases=(PyList_Type,).

Surprisingly to me, the call to .append() then fails in the method
descriptor code with a type error on "self". I tried calling super(...)
instead, and it gives a similar error. I read through the descriptor
code and the thing that fails here is

PyObject_IsInstance(self, (PyObject *)(descr->d_type))

in line 229 of descrobject.c, which internally calls

PyObject_TypeCheck(inst, (PyTypeObject *)cls)

in line 2543 of abstract.c. The problem here is that this checks the
ob_type, which holds a "type" and not a "B", so it doesn't find the base
type "list" of the "B" type and instead looks through the base types of
"type". The result is that PyObject_IsInstance() does not consider the
result of the above call to type(name, bases, dict) an instance of the
types that were named in "bases".

As this works in Python 2.5.1 and also for equivalent Python code in the
interpreter of Python 3.0a5, I assume that this is a bug in the alpha
version.

[issue1447222] tkinter Dialog fails when more than four buttons are used

[Guilherme Polo]

Guilherme Polo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

The workaround is actually setting wantobjects to 0, which I doubt
everyone will like. 
I've talked with a tcl developer and some interesting points were raised
from the talk:

1) Looking at typePtr in _tkinter isn't actually good (this is used to
convert the tcl object to a proper python object), because it may not
work always, like in this case. But the person also mentioned he didnt't
know of any good solutions to that problem.
2) Cause of the problem -- most likely: something else in the code that
creates the message box is using the literal string "5" as a
-borderwidth or a -padding or as something else that's passed to a
widget. And the compiler uses the same Tcl_Obj * for that "5" and the
"5" that you pass to [tk_dialog].

Apparently trying to fix this in Python would case some (major?) changes
in _tkinter.

[issue2898] Add memory footprint query

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

I'm torn about the extra slot; I'd rather not add one, but I can't see
how to make this flexible enough without one.

It should definitely not be a built-in; the sys module is fine though
(e.g. sys.getrefcount() lives there too).

[issue2897] include structmember.h in Python.h

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Note that structmember.h pollutes global namespace with macros that do not  
have conventional Py_ or PY_ prefix.  READONLY and RESTRICTED macros seem 
to be most likely to conflict with other code.  I would be -0 on including 
tructmember.h in Python.h if flags macros are not properly renamed.  +0 
otherwise.  T_* macros are probably OK, but T prefix is reminiscent of 
popular (in some circles) Taligent naming conventions:

[issue2914] Logging TimedRotatingFileHandler Feature Request

[Val Schmidt]

New submission from Val Schmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

I would like the TimedRotatingFileHandler in the logging package to 
optionally rotate on UTC time rather than local time. In my world 
(oceanographic research ships) important things like log files must 
always use UTC time rather than relative local time because local time 
changes alot!

Also it would be helpful to be able to configure the end-of-line 
termination explicitly for logging. For example, if one echos log 
entries out a serial port using the StreamHandler, one might want to 
specify \r, \n or some other such thing because of the funny gear on the 
other side of the serial line. The formatter method seems to default to 
\n (which I generally like) but there's no way to change it.
