[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger  added the comment:

Errors should not pass silently :-)

Given the buggy behavior, we have several options including just removing the 
implicit conversion and going back to bytes only.

[issue9333] Expose a way to enable os.symlink on Windows

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc  added the comment:

The patch looks good, I only have stylistic remarks:
- We normally don't use windows-specific types in CPython code. Please use int 
instead of BOOL. And C variables are usually lowercase, even module globals. I 
suggest something like "static int win32_can_symlink;"
- the enable_symlink() function should be "static" as well.

[issue10786] unittest.TextTextRunner does not respect redirected stderr

[cooyeah]

New submission from cooyeah :

The constructor of TextTestRunner class looks like:
def __init__(self, stream=sys.stderr, descriptions=1, verbosity=1)

Since the default parameter is evaluated only once, if sys.stderr is redirected 
later, the test would still use the old stderr when it was first initialized.

[issue5423] Exception raised when attempting to call set_charset on an email.mime.multipart once sub-parts have been attached

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

Since set_charset should not be valid on a multipart, I don't see a reason to 
have a separate issue for the post-attach case.

Also, although I haven't searched the RFCs, I don't think we can assume that 
set_chaset is valid only on text parts, so I don't think the patch will work as 
a solution.

[issue1823] Possible to set invalid Content-Transfer-Encoding on email.mime.multipart.MIMEMultipart

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

As far as I can tell it is simply wrong per-RFC to put a charset parameter on a 
mulitpart content-type.  So I think this should, indeed, raise an error on the 
Multipart subtype.

If someone sets any charset, the CTE is set wrong.  So code that sets charset 
is already broken, even though tolerant mailers will accept the resulting 
message (but some mailers won't, as described in this issue).

So, I think set_charset on MIMEMultipart should be deprecated and turned into a 
no-op in 3.2.

[issue6210] Exception Chaining missing method for suppressing context

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett  added the comment:

Regarding syntax, I'm undecided between:

raise with new_exception

and:

raise new_exception with caught_exception

I think that the second form is clearer:

try:
...
exception SomeException as ex:
raise SomeOtherException() with ex

(I'd prefer 'with' to Steven's 'from') but the first form doesn't force you to 
provide a name:

try:
...
exception SomeException:
raise with SomeOtherException()

and the syntax also means that you can't chain another exception like this:

try:
...
exception SomeException as ex:
raise SomeOtherException() with YetAnotherException()

although perhaps Python should just rely on the programmer's good judgement. :-)

[issue10785] parser: store the filename as an unicode object

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor :

The Python parser stores the filename as a byte string. But it decodes the 
filename on error because most Python functions now use unicode strings. 
Instead of decoding the filename at error, which may raise a new error, I 
propose to decode the filename on the creation of the parser object and only 
store the filename as unicode.

This issue would prepare the last part of the full unicode support (#3080).

(hit enter too soon, sorry)

The patch makes os.symlink always available on Windows machines, but it will 
only have an effect when privileged. Windows XP and Windows 2003 will still 
receive NotImplementedError, as the underlying calls aren't available there. On 
Vista and 7 for non-privileged users, OSError will be raised.

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' :

After having implemented a similar thing in psutil ( 
http://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=142 ) I decided to contribute 
a patch for Python which exposes getpriority() and setpriority() POSIX calls in 
the os module.

They can be used to get/set process niceness/priority in a fashion similar to 
os.nice() but extended to *all* processes instead of just os.getpid():

I'm not sure how that's going to help as I don't want my library code to be 
responsible for printing out exceptions, I just want them to print reasonably 
-- and it seems very unreasonable to have the exception I'm converting /from/ 
show up in the traceback.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

This "feature" was introduced in a big commit from Guido van Rossum (made 
before Python 3.0): r55500. The changelog is strange because it starts with 
"Make test_zipfile pass. The zipfile module now does all I/O in binary mode 
using bytes." but ends with "The _struct needed a patch to support bytes, str8 
and str for the 's' and 'p' formats.". Why was _struct patched at the same time?

Implicit conversion bytes and str is a very bad idea, it is the root of all 
confusion related to Unicode. The experience with Python 2 demonstrated that it 
should be changed, and it was changed in Python 3.0. But "Python 3.0" is a big 
project, it has many modules. Some modules were completly broken in Python 3.0, 
it works better with 3.1, and we hope that it will be even better with 3.2.

Attached patch removes the implicit conversion for 'c', 's' and 'p' formats. I 
did a similar change in ctypes, 5 months ago: issue #8966.

If a program written for Python 3.1 fails because of the patch, it can use 
explicit conversion to stay compatible with 3.1 and 3.2 (patched). I think that 
it's better to use explicit conversion.

Implicit conversion on 'c' format is really weird and it was not documented 
correctly: the note (1) is attached to "b" format, not to the "c" format. 
Example:

   >>> struct.pack('c', 'é')
   struct.error: char format requires bytes or string of length 1
   >>> len('é')
   1

There is also a length issue with the s format: struct.pack() truncates unicode 
string to a length in bytes, not in character, it is confusiong.

  >>> struct.pack('2s', 'ha')
   b'ha'
   >>> struct.pack('2s', 'hé')
   b'h\xc3'
   >>> struct.pack('3s', 'hé')
   b'h\xc3\xa9'

Finally, I don't like implicit conversion from unicode to bytes on pack, 
because it's not symmetrical.

   >>> struct.pack('3s', 'hé')
   b'h\xc3\xa9'
   >>> struct.unpack('3s', b'h\xc3\xa9')
   (b'h\xc3\xa9',)

(str -> pack() -> unpack() -> bytes)

No problem on stock Python 2.6.5 regex engine.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[David Beazley]

David Beazley  added the comment:

I encountered this issue is in the context of distributed 
computing/interprocess communication involving binary-encoded records (and 
encoding/decoding such records using struct). At its core, this is all about 
I/O--something where encodings and decoding matter a lot.  Frankly, it was 
quite surprising that a unicode string would silently pass through struct and 
turn into bytes.  IMHO, the fact that this is even possible encourages a sloppy 
usage of struct that favors programming convenience over correctness--something 
that's only going to end badly for the poor soul who passes non-ASCII 
characters into struct without knowing it. 

A default encoding might be okay as long as it was set to something like ASCII 
or Latin-1 (not UTF-8).  At least then you'd get an encoding error for 
characters that don't fit into a byte.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger  added the comment:

A possible answer to "why is this encoding at all" was probably to make it 
easier to transition code from python 2.x where strings were usually ascii and 
it would make no difference in output if encoded in utf-8.  The 2-to-3 fixer 
was good at handling name changes but not bytes/text issues.  That is just a 
guess at what the developer may have been thinking.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger  added the comment:

Many of these kind of "decisions" were made quickly, haphazardly, and with 
almost no discussion and were made by contributors who were new to Python core 
development (no familiar with the API norms).

Given the rats nest of bytes/text problems in Py3.0 and Py3.1, I think it is 
fair game to fix it now.  The APIs have not been shaken-out and battle-tested 
through wide-spread adoption, so it was fair to expect that the first 
experienced user to come along would find these rough patches.  

ISTM, this should get fixed.  The most innocuous way to do it is to add a 
warning for the implicit conversion.  That way, any existing 3.x code (probably 
precious little) would continue to run.  Another option is to just finish the 
job by adding an encoding parameter that defaults to utf-8.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[David Beazley]

David Beazley  added the comment:

Why is it even encoding at all?  Almost every other part of Python 3 forces you 
to be explicit about bytes/string conversion.  For example:

struct.pack("10s", x.encode('utf-8'))

Given that automatic conversion is documented, it's not clear what can be done 
at this point.  However, there are very few other parts of Python 3 that 
perform implicit string-byte conversions like this (at least that I know of 
off-hand).

Wouldn't that module have to be put into the actual source tree, since the

That may be what you meant, but "installed on this host" made me think I could

the module has to be called from within the tests themselves?

I think we can even strike off the verbiage "in the exception handler"... that 
way, raise always does the same thing -- raise KeyError will raise a KeyError, 
always, not sometimes a KeyError and sometimes a KeyError nested in a 
WhatEverError.

[issue4212] email.LazyImporter does not use absolute imports

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

LazyImporter isn't used in Python3.  Without someone motivated to propose a 
patch this isn't going to be changed, so I'm closing the issue.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[David Beazley]

David Beazley  added the comment:

Hmmm. Well, the docs seem to say that it's allowed and that it will be encoded 
as UTF-8.  

Given the treatment of Unicode/bytes elsewhere in Python 3, all I can say is 
that this behavior is rather surprising.

[issue10783] struct.pack() and Unicode strings

[David Beazley]

New submission from David Beazley :

Is the struct.pack() function supposed to automatically encode Unicode strings 
into binary?  For example:

>>> struct.pack("10s","Jalape\u00f1o")
b'Jalape\xc3\xb1o\x00'
>>>

This is Python 3.2b1.

[issue9893] Usefulness of the Misc/Vim/ files?

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon  added the comment:

But if you have a local copy of the Vim files from the community what is 
preventing you from editing them for new keywords and sending a patch to the 
maintainer so that the rest of the community is brought up to speed that much 
faster?

I suspect that not many people beyond core devs use the Misc/Vim file while 
more people in the community use the vim.org files.

[issue10782] Not possible to cross-compile due to poor detection of %lld support in printf

[Ben Gamari]

New submission from Ben Gamari :

Configure.in assumes that %lld is not supported by printf if cross-compiling. 
This causes build errors in pyport.h,

In file included from Include/Python.h:58:0,
 from Parser/parser.c:8:
Include/pyport.h:243:13: error: #error "This platform's pyconfig.h needs to 
define PY_FORMAT_LONG_LONG"
...

What is one supposed to do about this short of changing the configure script to 
assume support by default.

[issue10753] request_uri method of wsgiref module does not support RFC1808 params.

[Senthil Kumaran]

Senthil Kumaran  added the comment:

I agree that semi-colon separated segments (params) can be in PATH portion of 
the url. I was trying to find out, how a path;params would be useful in wsgiref 
request_uri's PATH_INFO variable , wherein I assumed PATH_INFO should be a 
file-system path or a method name.

After doing a bit of study, I find that ';' can be part of PATH_INFO in wsgiref 
compliant servers. I find a couple of bugs related to issues where ';' in 
PATH_INFO is not handled properly in other systems - http://bit.ly/g4UHhX

So, I think, we can have ';' as safe character so that it is prevented from 
quoting.

Also, RFC 3986 in Section 3.3 says that ';' '=' and ',' can be considered safe 
in the PATH component. Should we include those too?

minidom most certainly supports Unicode directly. All element names,
attribute names, and text nodes carry Unicode objects.

The documentation is incorrect; writexml does not support an encoding

it is intentional that its only effect is to fill out the XML declaration.

I don't understand the last sentence in your report: what is it that you want 
to see supported, and how is that related to this issue?

[issue10781] minidom Node.writexml method doesn't manage encoding parameter correctly

[Goffi]

New submission from Goffi :

G'day,

While translating my software to french, I realised that minidom's writexml 
method doesn't handle "encoding" parameter correctly: it changes the header of 
the resulting xml, but not the encoding itself (which it should according to 
the documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/xml.dom.minidom.html).

The given example doesn't work with writexml; but if I save by myself using the 
toxml's encoding parameter (like in the commented line), it works as expected.

Anyway, it would be better if minidom could handle unicode string directly.

[issue10626] Bad interaction between test_logging and test_concurrent_futures

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip  added the comment:

The reason for the bad interaction is that some of the tests in test_logging 
disable all existing loggers (due to the configuration tests - disabling of 
existing loggers is explicitly tested for), but as a side effect this also 
disabled the concurrent.futures logger.

I've made a change to test_logging which preserves the disabled state of all 
existing loggers across tests, and now all is well when testing

regrtest.py test_concurrent_futures test_logging test_concurrent_futures

after applying Brian's patch of 24 Dec 2010.

The change has been checked into py3k (r87513). However, this raises the wider 
issue of other loggers in stdlib and the effect on them of logging 
configuration calls. I'll raise this on python-dev for discussion.
