[issue6071] no longer possible to hash arrays

2009-11-23 Thread Martin v . Löwis

Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment:

I think the error is really in _hashlib, not in the array object. It
should not require 3.x style buffers, but continue to support 2.x
readbuffers. Attached is a patch that takes this route to fixing the bug.

As for the checks for bf_releasebuffer: I still think they are
necessary. If an object implements bf_releasebuffer, that means that the
object may change the buffer underneath, unless proper locking and
unlocking takes place. Indeed, the array's getreadbuf operation is not
thread-safe. It might be possible to remove them if it is clarified that
anybody calling getreadbuffer must not release the GIL while they hold
on to the buffer.

[issue7378] unexpected truncation of traceback

2009-11-23 Thread Greg Hewgill

New submission from Greg Hewgill g...@hewgill.com:

Quite by accident, I came across a case where Python would quit
generating traceback text and skip printing the actual exception
information. Here is a sample program:

exec(compile(spam(), ., exec))

and the output in Python 3.1 (spam is undefined):

$ python3.1 test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File test.py, line 1, in module
exec(compile(spam(), ., exec))
  File ., line 1, in module
$

This was bewildering until I realised that the traceback generator was
unable to read from the filename passed to compile() (my original
example was using a name other than . that wasn't intended to be a
file name, but just happened to also be a directory name). I didn't
really mind the lack of source text, but the lack of the actual
exception message was most disturbing.

This appears to be a failure mode common to both traceback.c and
traceback.py, through slightly different mechanisms. In traceback.c, if
the source filename refers to a directory, the C open() succeeds but an
error occurs when trying to read from the directory handle. In 
traceback.py, the Python open() call fails with an IOError exception, 
and the exception wasn't handled gracefully.

I have attached a patch that creates the following output instead:

$ ./python.exe test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File test.py, line 1, in module
exec(compile(spam(), ., exec))
  File ., line 1, in module
[Errno 21] Is a directory: '.'
NameError: name 'spam' is not defined
$

I have tested the patch against Python 3.1, but it applies cleanly to 
the trunk (for some reason I couldn't make the trunk build, but that's 
unrelated). This patch may need some finesse for a Win32 build; I don't
have the ability to test that at the moment.

2009-11-23 Thread R. David Murray

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment:

python -m doctest does accept file arguments.  Running the self-test is
the default if no arguments are supplied.

python -m doctest Lib/doctest.py passes.

So perhaps we should just remove the default and instead issue an error
message about missing arguments.

[issue7353] cporting docs recommend using Include/intobject.h, which was removed in 3.1?

2009-11-23 Thread Eric Smith

Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment:

MvL made this comment in
http://www.mail-archive.com/python-...@python.org/msg43844.html

I'm copying it here so it doesn't get lost and because I think he makes
a good point that many people would miss (at least I didn't think of it).
---

The macros (unfortunately) allowed
to make non-obvious mistakes. Now that they are gone, people need to
really think of what precisely they want to do.

For example, consider

if (PyInt_Check(o)){
  long val = PyInt_AsLong(o);
  // process
} else if (PyLong_Check(o)) {
  long long val = PyLong_AsLongLong(o);
  // check for overflow
  // process
}

With intobject.h, this code would continue to compile, but work
incorrectly, as the second case will never be executed. It would
be better to port this as

#if Py2.x
if (PyInt_Check(o)){
  long val = PyInt_AsLong(o);
  // process
} else
#endif
if (PyLong_Check(o)) {

i.e. eliminating the int case altogether. For another example,

long foo = PyInt_AsLong(Foo);

has a hidden error in 3.x, with intobject: PyLong_AsLong might
overflow, which the 2.x case doesn't.

So eliminating intobject.h likely helps avoiding subtle errors.

Regards,
Martin

[issue7380] uuid.UUID.bytes gives a bytearray() instead of bytes

2009-11-23 Thread flox

New submission from flox la...@yahoo.fr:

I've tried some experiments with module uuid, and I meet some
inconsistencies between the documentation, the docstring and the real
behavior of the module.

An interactive session is worth a thousand words:

 import uuid
 uuid.UUID(bytes='\x12\x34\x56\x78'*4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
  File /usr/lib/python3.1/uuid.py, line 149, in __init__
assert isinstance(bytes, bytes_), repr(bytes)
AssertionError: '\x124Vx\x124Vx\x124Vx\x124Vx'
 uuid.UUID(bytes_le='\x78\x56\x34\x12\x34\x12\x78\x56' +
...'\x12\x34\x56\x78\x12\x34\x56\x78')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 2, in module
  File /usr/lib/python3.1/uuid.py, line 144, in __init__
bytes_(reversed(bytes_le[6:8])) +
TypeError: 'str' object cannot be interpreted as an integer
 

Ok, the lines above are just parts of the documentation which need
update. But what is more confusing is the last example of the documentation.
http://docs.python.org/dev/py3k/library/uuid.html

Here is the interactive session:

 x = uuid.UUID('{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f}')
 x.bytes
bytearray(b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f')
 x.bytes_le
b'\x03\x02\x01\x00\x05\x04\x07\x06\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f'
 

Normally both attributes should get a UUID as a 16-byte string,
according to the documentation. Only the endianness should do the
difference. I guess this one need a patch.


Finally, the docstring fails, too:

[issue7353] cporting docs recommend using Include/intobject.h, which was removed in 3.1?

2009-11-23 Thread Marc-Andre Lemburg

Marc-Andre Lemburg m...@egenix.com added the comment:

Eric pointed me to this ticket after having raised the question on
python-dev: http://www.mail-archive.com/python-...@python.org/msg43841.html

I think the discussion should be continued there instead of on this ticket.

Just for completeness, I'm copying my reply to Martin's reply here
(http://www.mail-archive.com/python-...@python.org/msg43849.html):


 For example, consider
 
 if (PyInt_Check(o)){
   long val = PyInt_AsLong(o);
   // process
 } else if (PyLong_Check(o)) {
   long long val = PyLong_AsLongLong(o);
   // check for overflow
   // process
 }
 
 With intobject.h, this code would continue to compile, but work
 incorrectly, as the second case will never be executed. It would
 be better to port this as
 
 #if Py2.x
 if (PyInt_Check(o)){
   long val = PyInt_AsLong(o);
   // process
 } else
 #endif
 if (PyLong_Check(o)) {
 
 i.e. eliminating the int case altogether.

Sure, but that assumes that the original code already had support
for Python longs, which a lot of code doesn't.

In an ideal world, developers would add that code to their
extensions right away. In the real world, where developers only
have limited resources available, you'll get more 3.x ports
by making such ports as painless as possible while at the
same time not forcing them to alienate their 2.x user base.

The long support could then be added in later releases
of the extensions, giving the developers more time adapt.

 For another example,
 
 long foo = PyInt_AsLong(Foo);
 
 has a hidden error in 3.x, with intobject: PyLong_AsLong might
 overflow, which the 2.x case doesn't.

That's not quite true: PyInt_AsLong(obj) will try the
nb_int slot on non-integer objects which can return errors
(it returns -1 and sets the error message).

 So eliminating intobject.h likely helps avoiding subtle errors.

In the long run, yes. In the short run, other criteria are
more important, IMHO.


IMO, it would be worthwhile collecting all Python 2.x compatibility C
APIs in two new files:

 * py2compat.h
 * py2compat.c

These could then be used in extensions and make the use of such
compatibility APIs explicit in the extension.

2009-11-23 Thread Sebastian Hagen

New submission from Sebastian Hagen sh_pyb...@memespace.net:

In either python 3.0, bytes instances cannot be copied, and (even
trivial) bytes subclasses cannot be unpickled unless they explicitly
override __getnewargs__() or __reduce_ex__().

Copy problem:
 import copy; copy.copy(b'foo')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
  File /usr/lib/python3.1/copy.py, line 96, in copy
return _reconstruct(x, rv, 0)
  File /usr/lib/python3.1/copy.py, line 280, in _reconstruct
y = callable(*args)
  File /usr/lib/python3.1/copyreg.py, line 88, in __newobj__
return cls.__new__(cls, *args)
TypeError: string argument without an encoding

Bytes subclass unpickle problem:
 class B(bytes):
...  pass
...
 import pickle; pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(B(b'foo')))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
  File /usr/lib/python3.1/pickle.py, line 1373, in loads
encoding=encoding, errors=errors).load()
TypeError: string argument without an encoding


AFAICT, the problem is that bytes.__getnewargs__() returns a tuple with
a single argument - a string - and bytes.__new__() refuses to
reconstruct the instance when called with in that manner. That is,
bytes.__new__(bytes, *b'foo'.__getnewargs__()) fails with a TypeError.

This does not cause a problem for pickling bytes instances (as opposed
to instances of a subclass of bytes), because both the Python and C
versions of pickle shipped with Python 3.[01] have built-in magic
(_Pickler.save_bytes() and save_bytes(), respectively) to deal with
bytes instances, and therefore never call their __getnewargs__().

The pickle case, in particular, is highly irritating; the error message
doesn't indicate which object is causing the problem, and until you
actually try to load the pickle, there's nothing to indicate that
there's anything problematic about pickling an instance of a subclass of
bytes.

[issue7381] subprocess.check_output: docstring has inconsistent leading whitespace

flox la...@yahoo.fr added the comment:

Forget the python2.5 -m doctest /usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py in
first message msg95625.
This command does not do what I guessed. And there's no doctest in the
Python2.5 subprocess module.


The attached patch may be enough to fix the docstring inconsistencies
with Python3.1.
It might not be mandatory to make the docstring 100% successful.
(I see no PEP which requires that).

2009-11-23 Thread Michael Droettboom

Michael Droettboom mdb...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:

Attached is a patch against the release26-maint branch.  This works for
me on Sun Workshop 6.

Note that on Sun, the C compiler is 'cc' and the C++ compiler is 'CC',
but distutils uses 'cc' and 'c++'.  However, the CXX environment
variable now works (after applying the patch), so this is less of an
issue, if it can be considered a bug at all.

[issue644744] bdist_rpm fails when installing man pages

2009-11-23 Thread Toshio Kuratomi

Toshio Kuratomi a.bad...@gmail.com added the comment:

sed is one of the programs we assume is always present when we build
packages in Fedora which is probably also what is wanted here.  (A
default install of Fedora will include sed but someone might be able to
create a minimal install that did not include it.) Note that within
Fedora we usually use a wildcard with man pages.  For example::

  %{_mandir}/man1/foo.1*

I'd suggest doing this rather than hardcoding .gz.  Automatic
compression of manpages could be disabled on other distros, set to
bzip2, compress, or xz instead.  Wildcarding the suffix will catch all
of these cases and be more future-proof.

[issue6071] no longer possible to hash arrays

2009-11-23 Thread Antoine Pitrou

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment:

 As for the checks for bf_releasebuffer: I still think they are
 necessary. If an object implements bf_releasebuffer, that means that the
 object may change the buffer underneath, unless proper locking and
 unlocking takes place.

I know, but the problem is that by switching some argument definitions
to s* and friends we have broken compatibility for the (admittedly
uncommon) use case of giving an array object to those functions. Since
we probably don't want to backout those changes perhaps adding support
for the new buffer API to the array object is the best course of action.

[issue7384] test_curses crash on FreeBSD buildbots

2009-11-23 Thread Mark Dickinson

New submission from Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com:

test_curses is currently causing the test runs to abort on the FreeBSD 6.4 
and 7.2 buildbots.

I can reproduce this on a FreeBSD 7.2 /amd64 machine by doing

./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -uall test___all__ test_curses

This dumps core, and the traceback points at the call to delwin() in 
PyCursesWindow_Dealloc, but it's far from obvious (to me) what's going 
wrong.  wo-win is not NULL here, and appears to point to a valid WINDOW.  
However, stdscr is NULL!  As far as I can tell, this shouldn't happen.

test_curses by itself doesn't crash, unless I add an 'import readline' or 
'import rlcompleter' to the top of test_curses.py.

I expect to have access to the FreeBSD machine for a few more days.  Any 
hints about what to try next would be appreciated.

[issue7372] Regression in pstats

2009-11-23 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky belopol...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:

It would be fairly easy to change format before dumping stats to disk,
but unfortunately Profile does not encapsulate it's run-time data and
changing its format would be a mess.

Of course, one can hack around that by turning Profile.stats into a
computed property, but that's hardly an acceptable solution.

I think it is worthwhile fixing the on-disk format, but as a long-tem
solution one may consider adding common (possibly iterator-based) API
to both profile and cProfile that pstats can use instead of accessing
internal data structures.

Creating an ABC for a standard Python profiler, seems to be a
worthwhile project that in the future may simplify plugging in 3rd
party profilers, but I don't have expertise to undertake such a
project.  That would require experience with multiple Python profilers
that I don't have.

[issue7387] More precise document on os.path.normpath()

2009-11-23 Thread pengyu.ut

New submission from pengyu.ut pengyu...@gmail.com:

os.path.normpath() doesn't return the trailing '/', if the path is a
directory. But the document doesn't mention this fact.

I recommend document this feature.

[issue7383] test_multiprocessing leaks

2009-11-23 Thread R. David Murray

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment:

This started just after r76438, which is an additional test for
multiprocessing.  Given build delays this is only a correlation not a
definite cause, but it is suspicious.

[issue7228] %lld for PyErr_Format (Modules/_io/bufferedio.c)

2009-11-23 Thread Hirokazu Yamamoto

Hirokazu Yamamoto ocean-c...@m2.ccsnet.ne.jp added the comment:

I think your patch is correct. (I couldn't check the behavior on error
condition itself, because I wasn't sure how, but I checked test_io run
on windows)
