[issue1462525] URI parsing library

[Senthil Kumaran]

Senthil Kumaran  added the comment:

Committed the tests in the r80908, r80909, r80910 and r80911.
The backward incompatible test cases, as in whose parsing requirements have 
changed since the previous RFC has been commented out. There were 4 abnormal 
scenarios and one strict parsing requirement (overridden by relaxed parsing 
requirement use case).

With respect to commented out tests, if we come across parsing behavior in 
applications relying on it, we can address it then.

Thanks Paul and others for tracking this issue.

New short, simple and clean path: add os.fsencode() for Unix only.

Don't create it for Windows to encourage the usage of unicode on Windows (and 
use MBCS is a bad idea). fsdecode() was a also bad idea: it's better to keep 
bytes unchanged on Unix, and it's now possible thanks to os.environb and 
os.getenvb().

[issue8640] subprocess: add envb argument to Popen constructor (Python3, POSIX only)

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor :

Python 3.2 has now its os.environb, the bytes version of os.environ. subprocess 
should get a new envb argument to be able to use pure bytes environmental 
variables. Examples:

   subprocess.call([b'env], envb={b'PATH': b'/usr/bin'})

and

   envb = os.environb.copy()
   envb[b'PATH'] = b'/usr/bin'
   subprocess.call([b'env], envb=envb)

Specify both env and envb would raise an exception. envb should only be 
available on POSIX (as os.environb).

Related issues: #8513 (subprocess: support bytes program name) and #8603 
(os.environb).

[issue8638] Remove suggestion for name mangling from the tutorial

[Lucian Ursu]

New submission from Lucian Ursu :

I suggest that name mangling should not be recommended as a way of having 
private attributes. Instead, one underscore should be suggested as a signal 
that the attribute is private.
This suggestion comes after discussing with some of the helpers from #python. 
Basically, they said that name mangling should never be used, so it would be 
appropriate to remove this recommendation from the tutorial.

[issue8573] Buggy _strerror in asyncore

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Giampaolo Rodola'  added the comment:

Yes, I think it's better to remain consistent with the rest of the module which 
uses %s all around the place, also for backward compatibility in case someone 
wants to copy asyncore.py shipped with recent python versions and use it in 
their code using older python versions.

This practice is not so uncommon since asyncore.py received serious bug-fixing 
only starting from python 2.6.

Fixed in r80875 (2.7), r80876 (3.2), r80878 (2.6) and r80879 (3.1) which also 
includes changes to fix issue 8483.

[issue1285086] urllib.quote is too slow

[Senthil Kumaran]

Senthil Kumaran  added the comment:

I reviewed the patch and the speed test attached. 
Well, yes, the patch does achieve a certain level of speed improvement but I 
also saw that in cases when the quoting is really required (special characters, 
the current stdlib is faster). 

The speed improvement proposed is really not a convincing enough reason to 
replace the code of the current quote. rhettinger's comment in this issue might 
taken as reference to work out if there are any statistical evidence (:)?) that 
if the frameworks use it, would they benefit.

Few more points.

- quote is a generic function, checking for empty string, returning it  and 
marking it speed improvement, really is not a improvement (practically the 
person using the quote can avoid it too and thereby increase the speed).

- Some framework might try this , like django or zope for e.g and see if its 
really a worthy case in using re to check for chars to be quoted and quote only 
those (and see if there is any improvement).

- Might provide this as an activestate recipe and see if there any takers 
(again for reasons of use-case)

It is correctly a low priority one, or it can just be rejected too.

BTW, there is a feature request on quote support unicode char with patch, when 
that is in place, I think this request may suffer further.

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

The patch looks fine, but I wonder if regrtest.py could be taught to warn about 
situations like this.  Maybe run_unitest() should check that all leaf 
subclasses of TestCase in the module are covered.  Ideally, of course, 
test_main() should be made optional and tests be discovered by analyzing the 
test_* module.

Similar logic can be written simpler as

if use_pager:

(yes, I think ignoring empty *PAGER is preferable to an error)

I am not sure, pydoc should respect MANPAGER.  Why not PYDOCPAGER?

In any case this is a feature request rather than a bug.

[issue1533] Bug in range() function for large values

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

> the requirements are different for 2.6:  floats should give a 
> DeprecationWarning rather than a TypeError. 

I thought about it, but the comment in test_builtin.py,

# Reject floats when it would require PyLongs to represent. 

 
# (smaller floats still accepted, but deprecated)  

convinced me that raising TypeError on large floats is a feature.  I don't have 
a strong opinion on this issue, but I think a conservative approach is not to 
change current behavior in the maintenance branch unless it is clearly a bug.

I did add a test checking that "smaller floats still accepted, but deprecated."

[issue7583] Improve explanation of tab expansion in doctests

[anatoly techtonik]

anatoly techtonik  added the comment:

Sorry for not being able to follow up on this issue. I believe we need to 
expand the problem of handling tabs in doctests with use cases and expose the 
problem outside the issue tracker item. I still remember that at some point I 
had a patch somewhere that allowed to use tabs in doctests without too much 
explanations. Can't find it in this tracker though.

[issue8603] Create a bytes version of os.environ and getenvb()

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

Patch version 3:
 - update posix documentation
 - improve os.environ and os.getenv() documentation: specify the type and 
document the encoding/error handler, add a link to environb/getenvb
 - os.environ and os.environb now check the argument types (raise a better 
error), on Windows and Unix. Before my patch, os.environ[b'key']=b'value' sets 
the variable "b'key'" to "b'value'" :-(
 - restore os.environb in TestEnviron.tearDown() (test_os)
 - fix patch on posixmodule.c indentation
 - fix a regression introduced by my patch: set PyErr_NoMemory() on error  
(newstr==NULL in posixmodule.c)
 - rename keymap to encodekey

[issue8630] Keepends param in codec readline(s)

[André M . C . Campos]

André M. C. Campos  added the comment:

The parameter would not be a new feature since the codecs docs states that:
"The StreamReaderWriter allows wrapping streams which work in both
read and write modes".

The reader (StreamReader) accepts the parameter, so it's expected that
StreamReaderWriter does the same.

I'm not sure how to submit a patch.
So, I'm submitting a new codecs.py file through the issue track
interface (issue 8630).
If it's not that in that way, could you please tell me the path?
André.

[issue7522] random.choice should accept a set as input

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

> As far as I know, it is a binary search tree,

It's not:  it's based on a hash table.  It's essentially a dict with keys but 
no values.  An additional complication is that the hash table can be very 
sparsely filled, in the case of a large set that has had most of its elements 
deleted---there's no automatic shrinkage of the hash table in that case.  So 
repeated random selection until you find a filled hash table entry would be 
inefficient in that case.

crash in Py_EnterRecursiveCall

[René J . V . Bertin]

Hello,

I have embedded Python into and extended it with functionality from a
graphical tool I use. One of the things it allows me to do is to
export Python objects to a simple scripting language ("ascanf"), and
call them as if they were native functions.

I have the following situation in which I get a systematic
segmentation violation in Py_EnterRecursiveCall(), in Python 2.3
(Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 system version), 2.4 2.5 and 2.6 (OS X) and on
Cygwin with 2.5 and 2.6

I enter an interactive Python 'console' from within my application,
either the one from the interact package, or the IPython shell. My
application has a callback defined for the readline routines that
calls the graphical event handler, allowing for instance
refresh/redraws to continue while working in the Python console. The
crash occurs when during such events handled through the readline
callback, I call an exported Python object. This does not appear to be
related to recursion per se, but rather to "calling a python
interpreter behind the back of the currently active
console/interpreter".

To be clearer, suppose I have some Python code

def Py_travDistCalc(a,b,c):
 ...
 return x

ascanf.ExportVariable("travDistCalc", Py_travDistCalc )

I can then issue a call
1) travDistCalc[a,b,c] from an ascanf script.
2) ascanf.Eval( 'travDistCalc[a,b,c]' ) from the Python console

Call 1) provokes a crash in Py_EnterRecursiveCall() when invoked
through the readline callback when the Python console is open, but
call 2) succeeds normally.

My workaround is to keep track of the readline callback recursion
level, and compare the current level with the level recorded when
entering a Python console before doing the PyObject_CallObject()
required in call 1) and 2) above.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Python. It is the sort of crash
situation I'd try to avoid, though.

[issue8633] tarfile doesn't support undecodable filename in PAX format

[Lars Gustäbel]

Lars Gustäbel  added the comment:

Victor, you misunderstood the pax definition, but it wouldn't harm tarfile if 
it knew how to handle these corrupt GNU tar archives. In the meantime I filed a 
bug report on bug-...@gnu.org for this.

I said in msg105085 that POSIX gives no advice on how to handle broken filename 
encodings, but it does in POSIX:2008. libarchive (bsdtar) uses the way that is 
described there. The solution is to use a field called "hdrcharset".

It looks like an oversight when adding the parameter to the standard codec

[issue1533] Bug in range() function for large values

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

> I've never done a maintenance branch backport, but here is my attempt:
[...]

Yes, that sounds about right.  But after all that, you'll still need to modify 
the patch somewhat, since the requirements are different for 2.6:  floats 
should give a DeprecationWarning rather than a TypeError.  I think that's a 
straightforward change for Python/bltinmodule.c.  The trickier bit is coming up 
with tests that work properly---i.e., check that the appropriate warnings are 
produced, *and* that the the appropriate values are returned.  Look into the 
'catch_warnings' function in the warnings module; (there's also 
'check_warnings' in test_support, but I think that doesn't exist in 2.6).

'make patchcheck' only checks Python files and ReST files, as far as I can tell.

[I got your off-tracker emails;  will respond anon.]
