[issue6773] subprocess issue on Win 7 x64
New submission from Piotr Foltyn piotr.fol...@displaylink.com: The sample code presented below produces error (screenshot available in attachment) on Windows 7 RC x64 with latest version of Python 2.6 installed. Both 32bit and 64bit versions of Python 2.6 are affected by this issue. Python 3 executes this code flawlessly. The problem seems to be related to stdout redirection. If the stdout = PIPE is omitted in the first statement of main() function, code executes properly but we don't have access to the processes output. If the line Popen([dir], stdout = PIPE, shell = True) is changed to sin, sout = os.popen2([dir]) and os module is imported everything works fine.

[issue6774] socket.shudown documentation: on some platforms, closing one half closes the other half
New submission from Nicolas Dumazet nicd...@gmail.com: I had a bad time understanding what happens in Mac OS X after a shutdown call: after calling shutdown(SH_WR) on side A, a corresponding shutdown(SH_RD) on side B would raise a socket.error: socket is not connected. It is quite surprising when you are used to sockets in Linux, which expect you to shut one end, and then the other one. It turns out that under Mac OS X, a shutdown call closes the connection on the other half. And the only mention I could find of this behavior was here, r68611 : http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/test/test_socket.py?r1=64125r2=68611pathrev=68611 I think that the documentation should specify that (surprising) behavior: I attached a patch explaining that detail.

[issue2636] Regexp 2.7 (modifications to current re 2.2.2)
Vlastimil Brom vlastimil.b...@gmail.com added the comment:
I'd like to add some detail to the previous msg91473
The current behaviour of the character properties looks a bit
surprising sometimes:
regex.findall(ur\p{UppercaseLetter}, uQW\p{UppercaseLetter}as)
[u'Q', u'W', u'U', u'L']
regex.findall(ur\p{Uppercase Letter}, uQW\p{Uppercase Letter}as)
[u'\\p{Uppercase Letter}']
regex.findall(ur\p{UppercaseÄÄÄLetter}, uQW\p
{UppercaseÄÄÄLetter}as)
[u'\\p{Uppercase\xc4\xc4\xc4Letter}']
regex.findall(ur\p{UppercaseQQQLetter}, uQW\p
{UppercaseQQQLetter}as)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File pyshell#34, line 1, in module
regex.findall(ur\p{UppercaseQQQLetter}, uQW\p
{UppercaseQQQLetter}as)
...
File C:\Python26\lib\regex.py, line 1178, in _parse_property
raise error(undefined property name '%s' % name)
error: undefined property name 'UppercaseQQQLetter'
i.e. potential property names consisting only from the ascii-letters
(+ _, -) are looked up and either used or an error is raised,
other names (containing whitespace or non-ascii letters) aren't treated
as a special expression, hence, they either match their literal value
or simply don't match (without errors).
Is this the intended behaviour?
I am not sure whether it is maybe defined somewhere, or there are some
de-facto standards for this...
I guess, the space in the property names might be allowed (unless there
are some implications for the parser...), otherwise the fallback
handling of invalid property names as normal strings is probably the
expected way.

[issue6765] math.log, log10 inconsistency
Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment: If Python functions are inconsistent then I think they should either be made consistent, or if that's not possible they should be clearly documented as being inconsistent. I think 'inconsistent' is a bit strong for what happens here. In my view, the expressions log10(x) and log(x, 10) behave consistently: they both give (good) floating-point approximations to the base-10 logarithm of x. However, since they use slightly different methods to get those approximations, the approximations are not identical. Would you also say that atan2(y, x) is inconsistent with atan(y/x) (for positive x, y, say), because they give minutely different results in some cases? The docs for log10(x) could be improved to say: this function gives the correct result for powers of 10, but breaks consistency with log(a,10) == log10(a) I find this unnecessarily negative. I propose instead to leave the log documentation as it is, and add something like the following to the log10 documentation, as an explanation of why log10 is still valuable in the presence of the two-argument log function: Since this function directly wraps the platform log10 function, ``log10(x)`` will usually (depending on the platform) be faster and more accurate than the mathematically equivalent ``log(x, 10)``. Note that historically, the two-argument version of math.log appeared long after math.log10 did; this might help explain the apparent redundancy. (I'd actually argue that the two-argument log should not have been added in the first place: it doesn't wrap a standard C math function, and it's really no different from log(x)/log(y), except that having it as a built-in library function gives the illusion that it might be more accurate than it actually is. However, that's academic now.) One possible 'fix' for this situation does occur to me: instead of computing log(x, y) internally as log(x)/log(y), compute it as log10(x)/log10(y). This at least doesn't involve extensive changes or additions to the code. I don't think it really makes any practical difference, except perhaps in reducing the number of bug reports like this one. And it won't help make log2(x) == log(x, 2) if/when the C99 log2 function is added to the math library, either. I'd be -0 on making this change. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6765 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6765] math.log, log10 inconsistency
Tim Peters tim.pet...@gmail.com added the comment: I wasn't keen to add the 2-argument log() extension either. However, I bet it would help if the docs for that were changed to explain that log(x, base) is just a convenient shorthand for computing log(x)/log(base), and therefore may be a little less accurate than a function that directly computed the logarithm wrt the given base. -- nosy: +tim_one ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6765 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Your suggested rewrite makes things more confusing, IMO (partly because to make it accurate it would need to be something like type(x).__call__(x, *args, **kw), which doesn't really make the sentence clearer). So far I haven't thought of a rewording I like. The best I've come up with is x(arguments) invokes the __call__ method, passing it the arguments. This leaves it to other parts of the language spec to explain how __call__ gets resolved.

[issue6778] False positives given through bisect module (binary search)
New submission from kaashif musharraf.az...@gmail.com:
I tried Python's bisect module on a large word list (words.txt contained
in http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/swampy/swampy.1.1.zip)
If I search for something like 'musefully', 'museful' will come up as a
match. Maybe that's a feature... but seems to me like a bug.
Too much optimization going on here it seems, to such an extent that
false positives are given.
Here's the code I tried:
import bisect
fin = open('words.txt')
t = []
for line in fin:
t.append(line.strip())
print(bisect.bisect(t,'musefully'))

[issue6779] NotImplementedError on for statement

[issue6780] startswith error message is incomplete
New submission from Sridhar Ratnakumar sridh...@activestate.com: The `startswith` method accepts both string and tuple (not list). Yet the error message suggests that it expects (only) a character buffer object. In Python-2.6: foo.startswith(['fo', 'df']) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: expected a character buffer object In Python-3.x, the error message is different: foo.startswith([fo]) Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: Can't convert 'list' object to str implicitly Aside: why not try to convert 'list' object to tuple? -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 91942 nosy: srid severity: normal status: open title: startswith error message is incomplete type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6780 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6730] dict.fromkeys() should not cross reference mutable value by default
Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment: I'll add a bit of explanation as well: I have to add this ugly loop : for key in keys: d[key] = [] With a defaultdict, you don't -- you just use d[key], and if not already present, the entry will be initialized with an empty list. I really think that : 1) The doc should warn about it, since it is a very weird behaviour It is not weird in Python. Implicit copies are never made, partly because it's very hard to implement it correctly for every object. 2) There could at least be a third argument allowing the user to choose, with a default value that maintains the current behaviour (for compatibility, even though I think the default should be a deep copy) The interface of a fundamental type like dict will not be changed lightly. Usually, when a change is made, it is to add a feature that is often requested by lots of users -- I've never seen someone request this before. And as we've seen, it can easily be written either using a simple loop, or a defaultdict, depending on the exact use-case. -- nosy: +georg.brandl ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6730 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6660] Desire python.org documentation link to user contribution wiki (per function)
kee nethery k...@kagi.com added the comment: No problem. I can parse text in an automated manner very easily. So if you need someone to take the doc files and add in wiki URLs for each section, I can do that. Happy to volunteer. Worst case is you look at what I do and reject it. Best case ... I actually do what you need.

[issue6778] False positives given through bisect module (binary search)
R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: It's not a match, it's an insertion point. The bisect module doesn't have a method that can be used directly to determine if an item is not in the list. Take a careful look at the example, especially the second part. If you think it should have such a method, that would be an enhancement request. -- nosy: +r.david.murray, rhettinger priority: - normal resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6778 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6779] NotImplementedError on for statement
R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: The bug tracker is not a place to get help debugging your code. Your code is not a complete example, and is doing odd things with try/except and the printing of errors which may well be masking what is really going on, so I can't begin to evaluate whether or not you've found a real bug, but it seems unlikely. Please post your question to python-list (or perhaps even python-tutor), and if it turns out you do have a real bug, reopen this ticket. -- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue6779 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
