[issue1284316] Win32: Security problem with default installation directory
Michael Foord mich...@voidspace.org.uk added the comment: This is similar to an issue I reported to the security team (same underlying issue). My concern was that with an admin installed version of Python an arbitrary user can modify site.py, or create sitecustomize.py, and cause arbitrary code execution when the admin runs Python. IMO an admin installed Python should require admin priveleges to write to the Python install directory. I think many users would find installing to Program Files a pain and it would break many scripts. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1284316 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8038] Not all the new assert* unittest.TestCase methods have negative (not) equivalents
New submission from Michael Foord mich...@voidspace.org.uk: Originally reported as a bug against unittest2: http://code.google.com/p/unittest-ext/issues/detail?id=3 There are some assert* methods that don't have their assertNot* counterparts. There's assertDictEqual, assertSequenceEqual, assertRegexpMatches, but no assertDictNotEqual, assertSequenceNotEqual, assertRegexpNotMatches, for example. They should be present for the sake of completeness (I don't like to have to look into the docs to check if a method has a negative counterpart), but also because they ask for a custom output. For example, the error accompanying assertRegexpNotMatches could show the matching part of the text, which is the part that really interests me. assert_(re.match(...)) will only tell me that None is not true... -- assignee: michael.foord components: Library (Lib) messages: 100291 nosy: michael.foord severity: normal status: open title: Not all the new assert* unittest.TestCase methods have negative (not) equivalents type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8038 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue8040] It would be nice if documentation pages linked to other versions of the same document
New submission from Daniel Stutzbach dan...@stutzbachenterprises.com: Currently, trying to use a web search engine to find something in the Python docs often returns the documentation for only one version of Python. Something a very old version like 2.3. It would be nice if the documentation pages on docs.python.org included links to older and later versions of the same documentation page, if one exists. That would make it much easier to navigate to the desired version of a page. The extra links could be placed on the sidebar on the left side, perhaps below the Quick Search box. Additionally, it might help search engines find and index the documentation for the other versions. Microsoft does this for their .NET documentation and it's very handy (e.g., http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.aspx) -- assignee: georg.brandl components: Documentation messages: 100297 nosy: georg.brandl, stutzbach severity: normal status: open title: It would be nice if documentation pages linked to other versions of the same document type: feature request ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8040 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1284316] Win32: Security problem with default installation directory
Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com added the comment: I personally make heavy use of the command line and continue to install python to %ProgramFiles%. I find the space in the pathname to be a non-issue. After %programfiles%\Python26 and %programfiles%\Python26\Scripts are added to the path, and .py is added to PATHEXT, everything behaves very well. I use cmd.exe and powershell, and both of these shells handle the spaces well enough, including supporting tab completion (so if one _does_ need to reference a path with a space in it, it's not even necessary to know what the syntax is). With Python 3, support for version of Windows prior to XP (including DOS) has been deprecated, so it seems to me rather regressive to insist on DOS 8.3 compatibility. I concur that early on, I would struggle with the spaces if Python was installed to %programfiles%, but since about Python 2.3 or 2.4, I've had only the one problem with setuptools, and that has been fixed. IMO, supporting installation to Program Files is not only the right thing to do, but it will make Python more robust. On the other hand, I may be unaware of any use cases which are still problematic. Perhaps there are still many who always launch python using \python26\python. That command would then become \program files\python26\python. I find that to be a small price to pay for the gains in security and consistency (and compartmentalization). Furthermore, a heavy command-line user is probably also a power user, and if typing C:\Program Files\Python26\Python is too onerous, I'm sure he can find a workaround, such as setting the path, creating hardlinks or symlinks, setting up aliases, etc. I agree it's a shame the de-facto location for Programs on Windows isn't a more amenable name. Personally, I always override the default installation directory, so it matters to me little what choice is made for the default, but on the whole, I believe users would be better off with Python in Program Files. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1284316 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6560] socket sendmsg(), recvmsg() methods
David Watson bai...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: OK, here's a new version as a work in progress. A lot of the new stuff is uncommented (particularly the support code for the tests), but there are proper docs this time and a fairly complete test suite (but see below). There are a couple of changes to the interface (hopefully the last). The recvmsg() methods no longer receive ancillary data by default, since calling them on an AF_UNIX socket with the old default buffer could allow a malicious sender to send unwanted file descriptors up to receiver's resource limit, and in a multi-threaded program, another thread could then be prevented from opening new file descriptors before the receiving thread had a chance to close the unwanted ones. Since the ancillary buffer size argument is now more likely to need a value, I've moved it to second place; the basic argument order is now the same as in Kalman Gergely's patch. CMSG_LEN() and CMSG_SPACE() are now provided. I've also used socket.error instead of ValueError when rejecting some buffer object/array for being too big to handle, since the system call itself might cause socket.error to be raised for a smaller (oversized) object, failing with EMSGSIZE or whatever. The code is now much more paranoid about checking the results of the CMSG_*() macros, and will raise RuntimeError if it finds its assumptions are not met.

[issue7449] A number tests crash if python is compiled --without-threads
Jerry Seutter jseut...@gmail.com added the comment:
In the test_xmlrpc.py case I changed the value from URL to 'http:' because the
code that sets URL to a valid url relies on threading. When threading is
disabled, URL is set to None and the test will fail. The two ServerProxy test
cases that were modified in this way do not actually use the network at all.
They instead test that the close() method returns None and that the transport()
method returns the transport passed in to the constructor. I figured setting
the url to 'http:' instead of an empty string was more readable. The reader
would know that the string was supposed to be a url and that it was utterly
meaningless in this case.
In the test_macostools.py case, the os.unlink(TESTFN2) call is a copy and paste
error from the previous test. This test tried to remove an alias it never
created, and it failed to check that the destination directory for the alias
actually was a directory (it only checked that the path existed - in my case it
was a file, not a directory). I fixed the test to check that sys.prefix is a
directory, and then clean up sys.prefix/TESTFN2.
The skip_if_no decorator is not absolutely necessary and could have been
skipped. I believe it adds to the readability of the code because with the
decorator it becomes obvious that the test should skip in some cases. Perhaps
this is what import_module() is for - if so, should I document it? I also
believe the decorator helps prevent cases where a resource is allocated (like
creating a directory), then the import_module() call fails and a test artifact
is left laying around on disk. Having said that, I do not know if this
actually happens in any of the tests and so might be a moot point.
In reference to disliking the naming of skip_if_no(), I do not like the naming
either. The decorator attempts to import the module, then raises SkipTest if
there was an ImportError. I think it is essential to have the words import
and skip in the method name to help indicate what the decorator does. These
are names I could live with:
import_or_skip_test('threading')
import_module_or_skip_test('threading')
skip_test_unless_import('threading')
My preference is for the last one. Let me know which one you like best and
I'll change the name to that.

I would prefer something like:

Is this fix related to threads? If not, please open a different issue with a
patch just to fix that.

I like your decorator, but not it's name :-)
import_module() is not a decorator, but your decorator call it, so it's fine.
These are names I could live with:
import_or_skip_test('threading')
import_module_or_skip_test('threading')
skip_test_unless_import('threading')
The main goal is to skip a test, so a name starting with skip is a good
idea. You might drop test_ because we already have a context (namespace):
the function is defined in the test_support module.
@test_support.skip_unless_import('thread') doesn't look bad :-)

Comments about your new patch.
Lib/ctypes/test/test_errno.py is completly skipped whereas only half the tests
depends on threads.
I don't really like the idea of skipping the whole file if threads are
disabled (except for tests only based on tests, like test_threading.py). If
someone adds a new test without reading the imports header, he will not notice
that the test will be skipped if threads are not available, even if his test
doesn't depend on threads. Since Python 2.7 and 3.0+ supports class
decorators, why not using a decorator on classes instead of the blacklisting
the whole file? I don't know if you decorator can be used on a class without
any change. You need maybe to add **kw to the wrapper() function.
Lib/test/test_sqlite.py: only Lib/sqlite3/test/dbapi.py depends on threads,
all other tests should work without thread.
Lib/test/test_urllib2_localnet.py shouldn't inherit from BaseTestCase because
it overrides all methods (setUp and tearDown), but simply from
unittest.TestCase. This is not directly related to your patch.
reap_threads(): you should move the import thread to do it only once, and
write a dummy decorator if threads are disabled. Something like:
if have threads:
def reap_threads(func):
...
else:
def reap_threads(func):
# do nothing
return func
And write a doc string to explain that the function does nothing if threads
are disabled.
fork_wait.py, test_bz2.py: the decorator is maybe useless here (import_module
should be enough). Or do you suggest it for the readability?
Lib/test/test_multiprocessing.py: I guess that some tests can be executed
without thread (only testcases_threads require threads?).
Lib/test/test_capi.py: because of import_module('threading'), TestPendingCalls
will be skipped whereas TestPendingCalls.test_pendingcalls_non_threaded()
works without threads.
Lib/test/test_hashlib.py can simply use @reap_threads and import_module() in
test_threaded_hashing() (instead of using a try/except at the beginning of the
file).
...
I'm too tired to re-read the whole patch. I think that you understood my
ideads, and I don't have to detail changes on each file.
Can you write a new version of the patch?

[issue8045] test_tcl aborts on OS X 10.6 with The application with bundle ID org.python.python is running setugid(), which is not allowed.
New submission from Ned Deily n...@acm.org: potential 2.6.5 release blocker The changes introduced for Issue7999 in r78546, r78547, r78548, r78549 cause test_tcl to fail when it is run after test_os, as is normal under regrtest. The problem is that the posixmodule was modified to accept values of -1 for setreuid and setregid and, although the tests added for them claim that they do nothing, on OS X 10.6 (in a framework build at least) they do have a side effect.

[issue8047] Serialiser in ElementTree returns unicode strings in Py3k
New submission from Stefan Behnel sco...@users.sourceforge.net: The xml.etree.ElementTree package in the Python 3.x standard library breaks compatibility with existing ET 1.2 code. The serialiser returns a unicode string when no encoding is passed. Previously, the serialiser was guaranteed to return a byte string. By default, the string was 7-bit ASCII compatible. This behavioural change breaks all code that relies on the default behaviour of ElementTree. Since there is no longer a default encoding in Python 3, unicode strings are incompatible with byte strings, which means that the result of the serialisation can no longer be written to a file, for example. XML is well defined as a stream of bytes. Redefining it as a unicode string *by default* is hard to understand at best. Finally, it would have been good to look at the other ET implementation before introducing such a change. The lxml.etree package has had support for serialising XML into a unicode string for years, and does so in a clear, safe and explicit way. It requires the user to pass the 'unicode' (Py3 'str') type as encoding parameter, e.g. tree.tostring(encoding=str) which is explicit enough to make it clear that this is different from a normal encoding. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 100333 nosy: scoder severity: normal status: open title: Serialiser in ElementTree returns unicode strings in Py3k type: behavior versions: Python 3.1, Python 3.2 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8047 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
