[issue7657] test_ctypes failure on AIX 5.3

[sangamesh]

New submission from sangamesh :

I built the python-2.6.2 with the latest libffi-3.0.9 in AIX 5.3 using xlc 
compiler.
When i try to run the ctypes test cases, two failures are seen in 
test_bitfields.

test_ints (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test) ... FAIL
test_shorts (ctypes.test.test_bitfields.C_Test) ... FAIL

It seems that interpreting type c_int and c_short is wrong in bit field for 
AIX. If i change the type c_int and c_short 
to c_unit and c_ushort of class "BITS(Structure)" in file test_bitfields.py 
then no failures are seen and all the test 
cases got passed

This issue is common for both 32 and 64-bit versions

Attaching the complete test case result for reference.

[issue2539] Windows Registry issue with 2.5.2 AMD64 msi

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin  added the comment:

It seems like this may have been the result of registry redirection. Jason 
didn't say if the 2.5.1 install he went back to was 64-bit or not, but that 
could have been the difference. Given how old this is, I doubt he remembers :)

wxPython has 32 and 64 bit versions, so if you have a 64-bit Python and try to 
install the 32-bit wx, the wx installer won't immediately find a registry 
entry. It will be redirected to HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Python, which won't 
exist.

I think we can close this. Any thoughts, Martin?

[issue7656] test_hashlib fails on some installations (specifically Neal's regression test runner)

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray :

The patch in issue3745 to build and run all hash tests in a debug build seems 
to have caused test_hashlib to start failing when run by the build.sh 
regression test runner.  See the recent emails on python-checkins, where I used 
-W to get a verbose listing of the failing tests.

[issue7651] Python3: guess text file charset using the BOM

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

open_bom.patch is the proof of concept. It only works in read mode. The idea is 
to delay the creation of the encoding and the decoder. We wait for just after 
the first read_chunk().

The patch changes the default behaviour of open(): if the file starts with a 
BOM, the BOM is used but skipped. Example:
-
from _pyio import open

with open('test.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8-sig') as fp:
print("abc", file=fp)
print("d\xe9f", file=fp)

with open('test.txt', 'r') as fp:
print("open().read(): {!r}".format(fp.read()))
-

Unpatched Python displays '\ufeffabc\ndéf\n', whereas patched Python displays 
'abc\ndéf\n'.

[issue7615] unicode_escape codec does not escape quotes

[Richard Hansen]

Richard Hansen  added the comment:

> We'll need a patch that implements single and double quote escaping

> raw_unicode_escape encoder.

OK, I'll remove unicode_escape_single_quotes.patch and update 
unicode_escape_reorg.patch.

> Other changes are not necessary.

Would you please clarify?  There are a few other (minor) bugs that were 
discovered while writing unicode_escape_reorg.patch that I think should be 
fixed:
  * the UTF-16 surrogate pair decoding logic could read past the end of the 
provided Py_UNICODE character array if the last character is between 0xD800 and 
0xDC00
  * _PyString_Resize() will be called on an empty string if the size argument 
of unicodeescape_string() is 0.  This will raise a SystemError because 
_PyString_Resize() can only be called if the object's ref count is 1 (even if 
no resizing is to take place) yet PyString_FromStringAndSize() returns a shared 
empty string instance if size is 0.
  * it is unclear what unicodeescape_string() should do if size < 0

Beyond those issues, I'm worried about manageability stemming from the amount 
of code duplication.  If a bug is found in one of those encoding functions, the 
other two will likely need updating.

Unfortunately, pickle.py must be modified because it does its own backslash 
escaping before encoding with the raw_unicode_escape codec.  This means that 
backslashes would become double escaped and the decoded value would differ 
(confirmed by running the pickle unit tests).

The (minor) bugs in PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape() are also present in 
cPickle.c, so they should probably be fixed as well.

I read the escape codec documentation (see the original post) as implying that 
the encoders can generate eval-able string literals.  I'll add some clarifying 
statements.

Thanks for the feedback!

An approach similar to the one taken in test_warnings.py might work: write

We'll need a patch that implements single and double quote escaping for
unicode_escape and a \u style escaping of quotes for the raw_unicode_escape
encoder.

Other changes are not necessary. The pickle copy of the codec can be
left untouched (both cPickle.c and pickle.py) - it doesn't matter
whether quotes are escaped or not in the pickle data stream.

It's only important that the decoders can reliably decode the
additional escapes (which AFAIK, they do automatically anyway).

Misc/NEWS needs an entry which makes the changes clear.

The codecs' encode direction is not defined anywhere in the
documentation, AFAIK, and basically an implementation detail.
The codecs were originally only meant for Python's internal
use to decode Python literal byte strings into Unicode.
In PEP 100, I only defined the decoding direction. The
main idea was to have a set of codecs which read and produce
Latin-1 compatible text - Python 2.x used to accept Latin-1
Unicode literals without source code encoding marker.

I'll have to have a look at the patch itself as well. No time for
that now, perhaps tomorrow.

[issue7652] Merge C version of decimal into py3k.

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

So the new branch looks great---thanks, Stefan!  I'm only just beginning to 
look at the code properly, though.

A couple of things:

(1) Could we unify test_decimal and test_cdecimal somehow?  This would avoid 
them getting out of sync when new tests are added, and would make it clear what 
the differences between them are.  It looks like there's currently a lot of 
duplicate code.

(2) At some point we'll need some documentation.  Even if all it says is:  the 
cdecimal module operates identically to the decimal module, with the following 
exceptions... (notes on threading differences, exponent limits, correct 
rounding of pow, etc.)

[issue7653] Fix description of the way the PythonPath Windows registry key works

[Paul Keating]

New submission from Paul Keating :

The 2.6.4 docs (at http://docs.python.org/using/windows.html) do not give 
enough detail for an ordinary user to work out how the registry key 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\version\PythonPath actually works.

It says:

Modifying the module search path can also be done through the Windows registry: 
Edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\version\PythonPath.

It should say:

Modifying the module search path can also be done through the Windows registry. 
To add a folder to the module search path, create a subkey under 
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\version\PythonPath. The subkey name is not 
important (but might, say, identify the package being added to the search 
path). Put the name of the folder you want searched in the default string value 
of the key you have created. Specify multiple folders as a semicolon-delimited 
list. If you create more than one subkey, all will be used, in alphabetical 
order of subkey name. If a folder appears in more than one subkey then it will 
appear only once in sys.path, in the position corresponding to the first 
mention.

Do not amend the list of folders given in the default value at the PythonPath 
key level. Installers create this value but it is a holdover from earlier 
versions of Python and amending it has no effect.

still 'libver' in trunk/py3k.  I know nothing about RPM, so am adding Martin as

[issue7615] unicode_escape codec does not escape quotes

[Richard Hansen]

Richard Hansen  added the comment:

> Does the last patch obsolete the first two?  If so please delete the 
> obsolete ones.

Yes and no -- it depends on what the core Python developers want and are 
comfortable with:
  * unicode_escape_single_quotes.patch:  Only escapes single quotes, simple 
patch.
  * unicode_escape_single_and_double_quotes:  Superset of the above (also 
escapes double quotes), but probably unnecessary.  Still a relatively simple 
patch.
  * unicode_escape_reorg.patch:  Superset of unicode_escape_single_quotes.patch 
that also fixes raw_unicode_escape and other small issues.  It's a bigger patch 
with a greater potential for backwards-compatibility issues.  (Pickle is an 
example:  It implemented its own workaround to address raw_unicode_escape's 
broken escaping, so fixing raw_unicode_escape ended up breaking pickle.  The 
reorg patch removes pickle's workaround, but there will probably be similar 
workarounds in other existing code.)

My preference is to have unicode_escape_reorg.patch committed, but I'm not sure 
how conservative the core developers are.  The release of Python 2.7 is 
approaching, and they may not want to take on the risk right now.  If that's 
the case, I'd be happy with applying unicode_escape_single_quotes.patch for now 
and moving unicode_escape_reorg.patch to a new issue report.

> I imagine there are might be small doc updates required, as well.

Certainly Misc/NEWS will need to be patched.  I'm unfamiliar with what else the 
devs might want for documentation, so I'd love to get some additional guidance. 
 I would also appreciate additional feedback on the technical merits of the 
reorg patch before investing too much time on updating documentation.

> I haven't looked at the patch itself, but concerning your test 
> patch:  your try/except style is unnecessary, I think.  Better to

OK, I'll make that change.  I added the try/except as an attempt to convert a 
known ERROR to a FAIL in case that was important for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback!

[issue4766] email documentation needs to be precise about strings/bytes

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

We've concluded that the email package does need to be able to read bytes.  To 
do this and still support reading text, we're going to have to change the API.  
So the docs will get fixed when they get rewritten for the new API.

Patches to the 3.1 docs to clarify the current situation would probably be 
accepted and applied, but I suspect the email team is not going to provide them 
due to lack of time :(.

[issue7650] test_uuid is invalid

[Austin English]

Austin English  added the comment:

More info from the wine bug:
Whoops, I didn't notice that Python uses UuidCreateSequential.  From MSDN:

  For security reasons, UuidCreate was modified so that it no longer uses a 
machine's MAC address to generate UUIDs. UuidCreateSequential was
introduced to allow creation of UUIDs using the MAC address of a machine's 
Ethernet card.

I'm reopening this, as Wine's implementation of UuidCreateSequential calls 
UuidCreate, whereas it should use the MAC address-based method.  Setting 
component to rpcrt4, too.

My comment about the multicast bit occasionally being set (when the machine on 
which UuidCreateSequential is called has no MAC address) still stands, so 
there's still a Python bug.

[issue7615] unicode_escape codec does not escape quotes

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

Does the last patch obsolete the first two?  If so please delete the obsolete 
ones.

I imagine there are might be small doc updates required, as well.

I haven't looked at the patch itself, but concerning your test patch:  your 
try/except style is unnecessary, I think.  Better to just let the syntax error 
bubble up on its own.  After all, you don't *know* that the SyntaxError is 
because the quotes aren't escaped.  I've run into other unit tests in the test 
suite where the author made such an assumption, which turned out to be false 
and confused me for a bit while debugging the failure.  I had to remove the 
code producing the mistaken reason message in order to see the real problem.  
So it's better to just let the real error show up in the first place, in my 
experience.

[issue7644] bug in nntplib.body() method with possible fix

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

Yes, it should be another issue.  That said, there are similar (worse, 
actually) problems with the py3 email package that we are moving toward 
addressing.  There we are planning to have dual APIs.  If you want to work on 
fixing nntplib similarly, that would be great.  I'm expecting there to be 
synergy between the two, so you might be interested in joining the effort to 
update the email module as well.  See http://wiki.python.org/moin/Email%20SIG 
for more details.  (Trying to use nntplib in py3 is how I myself wound up 
involved in the email effort).

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith  added the comment:

There's no perfect answer. And since we've gotten this far without anyone 
caring, and 2.7 is basically the end of life for this issue, perhaps doing 
nothing is the best course. Any change we make will affect code that runs in 
both 2.6 and 2.7, doing nothing preserves compatibility on the 2.x side.

[issue7649] "u'%c' % char" broken for chars in range '\x80'-'\xFF'

[Ezio Melotti]

Ezio Melotti  added the comment:

If we allow it to work on 2.7 the code will break:
1) when ported to Py3, where mixing bytes strings and unicode is not allowed;
2) when used on Py<2.7, where the behavior is broken;
3) when converted to str.format, where only ints are accepted.

If we raise an error, the user will have to either use unicode strings or ints 
and he will avoid further problems. Moreover, the fact that no one noticed this 
problems means that is not a common operation, so no one probably expects it to 
work anyway and raising an error could even help to find the problem if someone 
used %c in older versions.

[issue7652] Merge C version of decimal into py3k.

[Eric Smith]

Eric Smith  added the comment:

Is the intention to write Decimal.__format__ in C, too? That would be quite a 
bit of work, and I'm not sure I could recommend it. But I'm not sure if your 
plan is to get rid of all Python code or not.

If your plan is to rewrite absolutely everything in C, I could help out by 
exposing the methods that parse format specifiers and do some of the low level 
formatting. They're used internally by the int, float, and str formatting code. 
Let me know.

New submission from Mark Dickinson :

I've created this issue to keep track of progress in merging Stefan Krah's work 
on decimal in c into py3k.

We've created a branch py3k-cdecimal (with merge tracking from py3k) for this 
work.  When the branch is fully working and tested we'll consult python-dev 
about next steps.

[issue7615] unicode_escape codec does not escape quotes

[Richard Hansen]

Richard Hansen  added the comment:

Attaching updated unicode_escape_reorg.patch.  This addresses two additional 
issues:
  * removes pickle's workaround of raw-unicode-escape's broken escaping
  * eliminates duplicated code (the raw escape encode function was copied with 
only a slight modification in cPickle.c)

With this, all regression tests pass.
