[issue2423] test_smtplib.py no longer butt slow

2010-08-02 Thread Richard Jones

Richard Jones richardjo...@optushome.com.au added the comment:

The patch to test_smtplib.py no longer applies since trunk is now py3k. I'm 
looking into it - and seeing whether the mock socket work I implemented for 
test_smtpd.py will have any common code. I'm hitting some fun areas of 
py3k-ness with bytes/str stuff in smtplib at the moment though ;-)

[issue6858] This is a python file, apply syntax highlighting

2010-08-02 Thread Tal Einat

Tal Einat talei...@gmail.com added the comment:

I think we are in agreement :)

Regarding the warning message, I was referring only to the case that the syntax 
highlighter fails completely and raises an exception. I'm not even sure if that 
can happen, but in case it does an informative message would be better than 
just not highlighting, and much better than IDLE dying. I'm bringing this up in 
this context because IMO if we allow highlighting of arbitrary files, we should 
at least ensure that this doesn't crash IDLE if the highlighting does fail.

[issue9452] configparser support for reading from strings and dictionaries

2010-08-02 Thread Łukasz Langa

Łukasz Langa luk...@langa.pl added the comment:

Good questions, thanks! The answers will come useful for documentation and 
later hype :)



READING CONFIGURATION FROM A DATA STRUCTURE
---

This is all about templating a decent set of default values. The major use case 
I'm using this for (with a homebrew SafeConfigParser subclass at the moment) is 
to provide *in one place* a set of defaults for the whole configuration. The 
so-called `defaults=` that we have at the moment don't fit this space well 
enough because they provide values that can (and will) jump into every section. 
This made them useless for me twice:
- when configuring access to external components in a fairly complex system; 
abstracting out the useless details the template I was looking for was

[name-server]
port=
protocol=
verbose=

[workflow-manager]
port=
protocol=
verbose=

[legacy-integration]
port=
protocol=
verbose=

# there were about 15 of these

- second case was a legacy CSV translation system (don't ask!). An abstract of 
a config with conflicting keys:

[company1-report]
delimiter=,
amount_column=
amount_type=
description_column=
description_type=
ignore_first_line=True

[company2-report]
delimiter=;
amount_column=
amount_type=
description_column=
description_type=
ignore_first_line=False

# and so on for ~10 entries

As you can see, in both examples `defaults=` couldn't be a good enough 
template. The reason I wanted these default values to be specified in the 
program was two-fold:

1. to be able to use the configuration without worrying about NoOptionErrors or 
fallback values on each get() invocation

2. to handle customers with existing configuration files which didn't include 
specific sections; if they didn't need customization they could simply use the 
defaults provided

I personally like the dictionary reading method but this is a matter of taste. 
Plus, .fromstring() is already used in unit tests :)



DUPLICATE OPTION VALIDATION
---

Firstly, I'd like to stress that this validation does NOT mean that we cannot 
update keys once they appear in configuration. Duplicate option detection works 
only while parsing a single file, string or dictionary. In this case duplicates 
are a configuration error and should be notified to the user.

You are right that for a programmer accepting the last value provided is 
acceptable. In this case the impact should be on the user who might not feel 
the same. If his configuration is ambiguous, it's best to use the Zen: In the 
face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

This is very much the case for large configuration files (take 
/etc/ssh/sshd_config or any real life ftpd config, etc.) when users might miss 
the fact that one option is uncommented in the body or thrown in at the end of 
the file by another admin or even the user himself.

Users might also be unaware of the case-insensitivity. 

These two problems are even more likely to cause headaches for the dictionary 
reading algorithm where there actually isn't an order in the keys within a 
section and you can specify a couple of values that represent the same key 
because of the case-insensitivity. Plus, this is going to be even more visible 
once we introduce mapping protocol access when you can add a whole section with 
keys using the dictionary syntax.

Another argument is that there is already section duplicate validation but it 
doesn't work when reading from files. This means that the user might add two 
sections of the same name with contradicting options.



SUMMARY
---
Reading from strings or dictionaries provides an additional way to feed the 
parser with values. Judging from the light complexity of both methods I would 
argue that it's beneficial to configparser users to have well factored unit 
tested methods for these tasks so they don't have to reimplement them over and 
over again when the need arises.

In terms of validation, after you remark and thinking about it for a while, I 
think that the best path may be to let programmers choose during parser 
initialization whether they want validation or not. This would be also a good 
place to include section duplicate validation during file reading. Should I 
provide an updated patch?

After a couple of years of experience with external customers configuring 
software I find it better for the software to aid me in customer support. This 
is the best solution when users can help themselves. And customers (and we 
ourselves, too!) do stupid things all the time. And so, specifying a default 
set of sane values AND checking for duplicates within the same section helps 
with that.

Sorry for the long delay without reply. Thank you for the report, I’ll look

[issue8821] Range check on unicode repr

 Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment:
 
 Well, the patch was technically useless since, as mentioned, unicode strings 
 are terminated by a NUL character by design.

There are two things to keep in mind:

 * Unicode objects are NUL-terminated, but only very external APIs
   rely on this (e.g. code using the Windows Unicode API). Please
   don't make the code in unicodeobject.c itself rely on this
   subtle detail.

 * The codecs work on Py_UNICODE* buffers which are *never* guaranteed
   to be NUL-terminated, so the problem in question is real.

 Anyway, I now get the following error on the 2.7 branch. Perhaps it's related:

[issue1180267] expanding platform module and making it work as it should

2010-08-02 Thread Marc-Andre Lemburg

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

You appear to be requesting two things:

 1. Determine the Windows version by looking at sys.getwindowsversion() rather 
than relying on the ver command line tool.

 2. Use lsb_release to fetch the release name on Linux systems that support it.

The first is possible, if that API is available. It would still have to fall 
back to the ver command line tool, since it's not future-proof, i.e. future 
versions of Windows will not automatically be supported.

The second is wrong, since platform.release() is only a short-cut to the 
uname() function and this refers to the underlying system rather than the Linux 
distrubtion.

However, I could add support for lsb_release to the linux_distribution() 
function.

[issue9453] pulldom.SAX2DOM Doesn't support processing instructions before the root element

2010-08-02 Thread Mark Smith

New submission from Mark Smith mark.sm...@practicalpoetry.co.uk:

pulldom.SAX2DOM raises a TypeError if it encounters a processing instruction 
before the root element of an XML document.

It is valid to have a processing instruction before the root node of a document 
(and SAX2DOM's superclass, PullDOM supports this), so this behaviour is invalid.

I've encountered this bug while writing unit tests for pulldom (#9373), so I've 
added this as an @expectedFailure, to be submitted as a patch for that ticket.

My recommendation is that SAX2DOM is deprecated and removed from the standard 
library rather than fixing this issue. The class is currently undocumented, has 
weird behaviour, and is unused within the Python standard library, so I don't 
expect that this will cause undue pain.

I'm not blaming you for this. However, I don't want more code
to rely on this behavior.

The NUL-termination has never been documented and my decision
to use NUL-termination on the PyUnicodeObject buffers was merely
a safety measure.

 Besides, the fact that external APIs rely on it make it much more
 unchangeable than if it were an implementation detail.

It's an undocumented implementation detail. We can certainly
deprecate it's use using the standard approach we have for this.

But all that is off-topic for this ticket, since codecs
operate on Py_UNICODE* buffers together with a size parameter
and relying on those buffers being NUL-terminated is bound to
cause problems.

 Can you explain this?
 
 I don't think I agree, since an attacker can always serialize whatever they 
 feel like.  It's the person doing the deserialization that has to be careful.

The marshal protocol which is used for storing PYC files has support
for serializing code objects.

The support on pickles, which are meant for data serialization, was not added
per default to prevent unwanted code execution during deserialization,
but instead made possible via pickle hooks, so as to make the decision
to support code serialization an explicit application choice.

By adding default support for unpickling code objects, you can trick
the unpickling code into executing serialized code: first you add
a serialized version of a malicious class definition, then you add
an object of that class to the pickle. At object restore time, the
malicious class can then run os.system('rm -rf /')...

[issue8572] httplib getheader() throws error instead of default

2010-08-02 Thread Senthil Kumaran

Senthil Kumaran orsent...@gmail.com added the comment:

Fixed in revision 83521 (py3k) and 83522 (release31-maint).
I made slight modifications to the patch to include non-iterable values,like 
int, for default too.

If you feel the documentation could be made better, please suggest the wordings 
for the sentence. I am leaving the bug open for this, if the current one is 
fine, we can close the bug.

David (RDM): I am not sure if we need a Deprecation Warning here.
If you actually see getheader() is supposed to return a string only as Headers 
are strings. I don't think someone should be consciously passing a list of 
items and excepting the list of items back.

', '.join of header values seem to be for situations in which get_all returns 
list of values, which is possible when there are different values for same 
header key.  This is a correct behavior IMO. The 2.x one is a mistake where it 
returned only the first value as a string.

This doesn't sound correct to me.

You can *already* trick unpickling code into executing serialized code.  You

[issue8821] Range check on unicode repr

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

 But all that is off-topic for this ticket, since codecs
 operate on Py_UNICODE* buffers together with a size parameter
 and relying on those buffers being NUL-terminated is bound to
 cause problems.

That's right. Then perhaps a fixed patch can be uploaded, if someone
cares enough.

[issue9454] unittest.expectedFailure decorator does not maintain target function's docstring.

2010-08-02 Thread Mark Smith

New submission from Mark Smith mark.sm...@practicalpoetry.co.uk:

When running tests with -v, the test runner prints out the docstring of each 
test method, if present, and falls back to the method name if it's not present.

Test methods wrapped with @expectedFailure do not print out their docstring, so 
it looks like the docstring is not copied to the wrapper function.

Failing test coming soon, hopefully followed by a patch to fix :)

[issue8821] Range check on unicode repr

2010-08-02 Thread Matt Giuca

Matt Giuca matt.gi...@gmail.com added the comment:

OK, I finally had time to review this issue again.

Firstly, granted the original fix broke a test case, shouldn't we figure out 
why it broke and fix it, rather than just revert the change and continue 
relying on this tenuous assumption? Surely it's best to have as little code 
relying on it as possible.

Secondly, please have a look at my patch again. It wasn't committed properly -- 
no offense to Georg, it's an honest mistake! My patch was:

I put the size check on the first character of the surrogate pair; in the 
committed version the size check was on the second character (after the size 
variable is decremented), causing it to break out of that branch too early in 
some cases.

Moving the size check to the outer if block fixes the test breakage.

PS. Good find on the second copy of that code in the 
PyUnicode_EncodeRawUnicodeEscape function. I've attached a new patch which 
fixes both functions instead of just the unicodeescape_string function.

Passes all test cases on UCS2 build of the 2.7 branch.

Removed the failing test patch, because it didn't demonstrate what I thought it

[issue1581182] Definition of a character is wrong

2010-08-02 Thread Marc-Andre Lemburg

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

Without patch, I don't see how this issue can be moved forward.

Adding a list of such Unicode term definitions would at best cause additional 
confusion and only address people knowledgable in the Unicode field.

Note that Python's use of code units and code points matches those of the 
Unicode standard in most respects. Glyphs and all higher-level definitions are 
out-of-scope for Python.

See also http://bugs.python.org/issue9120#msg109004 .

AFAICT, the reason functions and classes are pickled by name has
nothing to do with security. From the manual:

Similarly, when class instances are pickled, their class’s code and
data are not pickled along with them. Only the instance data are
pickled. This is done on purpose, so you can fix bugs in a class or
add methods to the class and still load objects that were created with
an earlier version of the class. If you plan to have long-lived
objects that will see many versions of a class, it may be worthwhile
to put a version number in the objects so that suitable conversions
can be made by the class’s __setstate__() method.

[issue8572] httplib getheader() throws error instead of default

2010-08-02 Thread R. David Murray

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

Right, the join behavior is correct.  But the definition of a *default* (aka 
sentinel) value is that it is returned *unchanged*.  It is counter intuitive 
that if you pass a list of strings as a default, that what you get back is 
those strings joined by ','.  But that is the released behavior. so we have to 
live with it.

I think the doc patch is OK except that it should be 'iterable' rather than 
'iterator'.  However, it might make the whole method clearer if we say instead:

Return the value of the header *name*, or *default* if there is no header 
matching *name*.  If there is more than one header with the name *name*, return 
all of the values joined by ', '.  If 'default' is any iterable other than a 
single string, its elements are similarly returned joined by commas.

But here you are not transferring malicious code in the pickle

you already have (and are in control of).

Without the definition of class x on the receiving side, there
would be no exploit.

By adding support for pickling code objects, you'd make it possible
to place the definition of class x into the pickle string and
you would no longer be in control of that code.

Good :-)

I've never used .__reduce__() and wasn't aware of the
fact that it can be used to run arbitrary code without
relying on the defining class.

I also like Antoine's idea of pickling the function/method name
instead of the whole code object.

This is in line with PEP 307 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0307/)
which already uses the approach for classic class objects, Python
functions, etc.

[issue6074] .pyc files created readonly if .py file is readonly, python won't overwrite

2010-08-02 Thread Antoine Pitrou

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

Apparently this may have become Windows-specific at some point. I can't 
reproduce under Linux with Python 2.6.5, 2.7 or 3.2.

I get a strange warning with -v under 2.7, though:

$ touch b.py  ~/cpython/27/python -v a.py 21 | grep b.py
# /home/antoine/py3k/__svn__/b.pyc has bad mtime

[issue8743] set() operators don't work with collections.Set instances

2010-08-02 Thread Ray.Allen

Ray.Allen ysj@gmail.com added the comment:

In my opinion, the set's operator should be a bit more liberal and accept any 
collections.Set instances. Given collections.Set is an ABC and isinstance(set, 
collections.Set) is True, the set methods should(strong recommended) follow all 
the generalized abstract semantic definition in the ABC. This according to PEP 
3119:

In addition, the ABCs define a minimal set of methods that establish the 
characteristic behavior of the type. Code that discriminates objects based on 
their ABC type can trust that those methods will always be present. Each of 
these methods are accompanied by an generalized abstract semantic definition 
that is described in the documentation for the ABC. These standard semantic 
definitions are not enforced, but are strongly recommended.


The collections.Set defines __or__() as this (for example):

def __or__(self, other):
if not isinstance(other, Iterable):
return NotImplemented
chain = (e for s in (self, other) for e in s)
return self._from_iterable(chain)

which means the | operator should accept all iterable. So I think it's better 
to make set's methods should be more liberal.

[issue9373] pulldom has low code coverage

2010-08-02 Thread Mark Smith

Mark Smith mark.sm...@practicalpoetry.co.uk added the comment:

Added a patch to increase code coverage for the pulldom module to 90%.

This patch also includes 3 'expectedFailure' tests that I believe indicate 
erroneous behaviour, associated with issues #9453 (SAX2DOM doesn't like 
processing instructions before the root element), and #9371 (pulldom doesn't 
provide END_DOCUMENT or COMMENT nodes)

Yes, I think we have a consensus on this point. Note, however that
since unbound methods have been removed in 3.x, it is not trivial to
find a fully qualified name of a method anymore.   Also we need to
decide where to stop: should methods of nested classes be pickleable?

[issue9276] pickle should support methods

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

 Yes, I think we have a consensus on this point. Note, however that
 since unbound methods have been removed in 3.x, it is not trivial to
 find a fully qualified name of a method anymore.

I suppose only bound methods should be pickleable:

 class C:
... def m(self): pass
... 
 c = C()
 c.m
bound method C.m of __main__.C object at 0x7fa81299b150
 c.m.__self__.__module__
'__main__'

And perhaps class methods too:

 class C:
... @classmethod
... def cm(self): pass
... 
 C.cm
bound method type.cm of class '__main__.C'
 C.cm.__self__
class '__main__.C'
 C.cm.__self__.__module__
'__main__'


 Also we need to
 decide where to stop: should methods of nested classes be pickleable?

As we want, but they needn't be.

[issue9276] pickle should support methods

2010-08-02 Thread Alexandre Vassalotti

Alexandre Vassalotti alexan...@peadrop.com added the comment:

The security issue mentioned previously has been known for years. And, it is 
easy to protect against. See 
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/pickle.html#restricting-globals

Also I am against adding pickling support to code objects. Code objects have no 
backward-compatibility constraint unlike pickles.

Antoine is right about we should be using a method fully-qualified name to 
pickle it. However, the problem with this approach is a method doesn't always 
have fully-qualified name (see issue3657). ForkingPickler in 
Lib/multiprocessing/forking.py uses this approach to add pickling support to 
methods.

[issue8042] mmap buffer implementation does not respect seek pos

2010-08-02 Thread Antoine Pitrou

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

If you want to slice into a writable buffer, you can use a memoryview:

 b = io.BytesIO(babc)
 m = mmap.mmap(-1, 10)
 b.readinto(memoryview(m)[5:])
3
 m[:]
b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00abc\x00\x00'

This only works on 3.x, though.
As for changing the mmap buffer implementation, it would break compatibility 
and is therefore not acceptable, sorry.

As far I see - yes, py3k still needs patch provided by wiz, even on

some amateur changes and my version of wiz's patch is in attachment. 

But we have another problem, use sem_timedwait in Python/thread_pthread.h

[issue9348] Calling argparse's add_argument with the wrong number of metavars causes delayed error message

2010-08-02 Thread Catherine Devlin

Catherine Devlin fredv8vi...@liquidid.net added the comment:

I'm attaching a unit test patch that does something vaguely like Steven 
suggests.  It definitely needs review.

Also, I'm assuming that it's OK to specify *fewer* metavars than nargs, just 
not more... but I'm not sure about that.

[issue7849] Improve test_support.check_warnings()

2010-08-02 Thread Ezio Melotti

Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com added the comment:

I backported this to 2.6 in r83537 in order to fix #7092. I used a leading 
underscore on _check_py3k_warnings to make it private because no new features 
should be added to 2.6.
