[issue13390] Hunt memory allocations in addition to reference leaks
Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment: Together with -R, it can help chase those memory leaks which aren't reference leaks (see c6dafa2e2594). Valgrind does a much better job at this: it will also show you where the leaked blocks were allocated. OTOH, Valgrind is Linux-only and slow, but since I haven't used the '-R' option much, I don't know how usable this will be in practice (detecting memory leaks is one thing, identifying them is even better :-). -- nosy: +neologix ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13390 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7503] multiprocessing AuthenticationError digest sent was rejected when pickling proxy
xhantu pwo...@rz-online.de added the comment: Confirmed for Python 2.7.1 on Ubuntu. Problematic are the __reduce__ methods of multiprocessing.process.AuthenticationString and multiprocessing.managers.BaseProxy. Pickling of an authkey in BaseProxy is only done and allowed when Popen.thread_is_spawning() is True. The comments state this is done because of security reasons. If you pass proxies with multiprocessing after process initialization then no authkey is available after unpickle, a random authkey will be used with results in an digest error. Because of this fallback in case no authkey is available, using None as authkey didn't work in my case. This bug looks like a design flaw of multiprocessing. If security was really a concern, encryption should be used along with authentication for communication. And passing None as authkey should disable authentication as stated in the documentation and should not use a random authkey. Disabling the Popen.thread_is_spawning() checks allows passing of proxies. I have done this during runtime by replacing the __reduce__ methods of the affected classes to avoid patching the installed python. -- nosy: +xhantu ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7503 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that it's not possible for a node to have only text-nodes as children and yet have more than one child; i.e. you can't have two or more adjacent text nodes, because they would be considered as a single text node. I therefore changed the check with all() to check if there's only a child and if it's a text node. I also added a test that checks where the \n and \t are added, because testing only that the DOM is preserved is not enough. -- stage: test needed - commit review Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23692/issue4147.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4147 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Good point. I'm still not sure that is a good idea to do a mass conversion of all the functions though. If there were only a handful of them it may be okay, but otherwise one issue per class or module sounds good. Sphinx lets us give multiple signatures This is something I was considering, but I'm afraid it might get too verbose I find my example for range much more readable that the current markup with brackets. (and introduce yet another convention). I can live with this special case for the two or three functions that need it. It becomes moot if range gets fixed to support kwargs :) Sometimes this feature is also (mis?)used to group similar functions. IIUC it *is* the intended use case for the syntax, not a misuse: You tell Sphinx that you want link targets for these functions to end up here, and then you write doc.

Thus strip and isspace are now unusable methods in Python for common use cases. This seems unfortunate. I believe they work fine for the common case -- in fact these methods have been around for years and no one complained. Also Unicode has a number of more or less space-like characters that are not whitespace and whitespace chars that don't look like whitespace.

I didn’t see how you hook the format function to your custom formatter; it
looks like the answer is that you don’t.)

[issue11805] package_data only allows one glob per-package
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
Looking at sysconfig.cfg makes it all pretty clear, though it was hard to
find this
information a while ago.
Yeah, you had to be here when the resources code was committed, or to stumble
on it while reading the source code. It’s one of the big things I will
document as part of #12779.
So what exactly is the verdict then? Keep package_data for now, but
encourage resources,
and dump data_files all together? Or...?
The reverse: resources are the new way of installing data_files. package_data
is obsoleted by that system and removed.
But as far as I can see, there's no way in packaging to describe a module
that works like sysconfig
itself! (A module with a resource which is expected to live alongside the .py
file).
For bootstrapping reasons, sysconfig.cfg needs to be the one exception to the
rule. (Yes, I think about moving distutils.cfg and wininst-*.exe files
according to sysconfig —and pydoc data and venv shell scripts! I will make
sure we reach agreement on python-dev first, of course :)
The point is that it is not possible to have a data file living alongside the
py file. It is by design. The new system caters to downstream packagers while
trying not to be bothersome to Python authors. Why do you care where your data
file is installed, as long as your code can get it?
There is one argument against this system: It means that your code has a
runtime dependency on a function provided by the packaging tool. This is one
of my griefs against setuptools. The difference here is that the dist-info dir
is an accepted PEP and packaging is in the stdlib, and that the dependency is
minimal (it does not make you learn a parallel import system for example).
However, one drawback is that we expect and support a transition period where
people have parallel setup.cfg and setup.py (with the setup.py possibly taking
its info from setup.cfg), so adding support for d2 will not only require adding
a setup.cfg and modularizing complex setup.py into hooks: it will require code
editions to have code branches for database.get_file and __file__ + open. That
won’t look good.
Installing the cfg file to {purelib} would work in practice, but if the
distribution containing
sysconfig was later changed to include a C extension, then the code would get
silently switched to
install into platlib, and the .cfg file would no longer be alongside the .py
file.
(This is only actually the case when purebase and base differ - which never
happens on Windows, and
I don't really understand when it would happen on Unix. So I can't really say
how likely and/or
important this possibility is. But it's certainly there.)
There is a distinction between prefix and exec-prefix. I think it may come
from a time where you’d have one tree served for many machines by an NFS server
and architecture-specific trees on a local filesystem.
[...]
OK, having said all that, I do think that saying package_data was wrong,
let’s move away from that
is a bit user-unfriendly. Whether it causes issues for OS distributors, or is
wrong as a matter of
principle, people do use it, a lot.
Because they had no alternative: you couldn’t predict where data_files would
end up, so package_data + __file__ was the universal kludge.
It's the basis of the whole egg concept (a package and its data as a single
self-contained object)
distutils2 does not support the egg concept. In a post-PEP 376 world, an
installed distribution can be one or more modules with a dist-info directory,
one or more packages with a dist-info directory, etc.
If you don't support it, I predict that people are simply going to invent
more and more elaborate
hacks to emulate it.
Interesting. I have to go now, but be sure I’ll think over this, bring it up
on pydev and make sure the situation is acceptable before Py 3.3b1 / d2 1.0b1.

kxroberto kxrobe...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: I looked at the new patch http://hg.python.org/lookup/r86952 for Py3 (regarding the extended tolerance and local backporting to Python2.7): What I miss are the calls of a kind of self.warning(msg,i,k) function in non-strict/tolerant mode (where self.error is called in strict mode). Such function could be empty or could be a silent simple counter (like in the old patch) - and could be easily sub-classed for advanced use.

[issue11805] package_data only allows one glob per-package
Paul Moore p.f.mo...@gmail.com added the comment: One important point - in the new world where data files living alongside code is unsupported, the bdist_msi and bdist_wininst installers need to be updated to install data files as needed. This may work already (I'll do some tests to see how well when I get back to my PC with dev builds on it) but right now bdist_wininst for example does not support the full generality of the resource mechanism (and it's not clear to me how it can be made to...) so there will be restrictions on what can be allowed until the wininst format is updated. For installs from source, the suggested new world is fine. But without a binary install process that's as flexible as a source install, the current alongside the code approach has the benefit of working well with the existing installer technology. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11805 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13410] String formatting bug in interactive mode
Eric V. Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment: I think this must be a change between 2.5 and 2.6. In 2.5.1 non-debug (Linux) I consistently see: print '%d' % y Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: int argument required In 2.6.5 (Windows via activestate) I see the alternating errors reported here. In 2.7.2+ debug (Linux) I consistently see: print '%d' % y 22 XXX undetected error Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module TypeError: int() argument must be a string or a number, not 'Foo' [38749 refs] Note the XXX undetected error. In 2.7.2+ non-debug (Linux), I get the alternating errors reported here. I don't think anything will be done about the problem in 2.6. For 2.7, the XXX undetected error should be investigated, and will likely point to the problem. -- assignee: ronaldoussoren - components: +Interpreter Core -Macintosh versions: +Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13410 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13412] No knowledge of symlinks on Windows
Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com added the comment:
Python 2.7 is not aware of symlinks and treats them like their targets, so it
should be able to list a symlink directory or access a file within one. For
example:
PS C:\Users\jaraco cmd /c dir
Volume in drive C is system
Volume Serial Number is 2455-92A0
Directory of C:\Users\jaraco
11-Nov-2011 06:50DIR .
11-Nov-2011 06:50DIR ..
..
11-Aug-2011 10:11SYMLINKD bin [Dropbox\bin\x64]
10-Aug-2011 21:00SYMLINKD bin-x86 [Dropbox\bin\x86]
..
11 File(s) 6,632 bytes

import os
os.listdir('bin')
['curl.exe', 'devcon.exe', 'HotSwap!.EXE', 'Notepad2.exe', 'utorrent.exe',
'vncviewer.exe']
with open('bin/curl.exe', 'rb') as f:
... f.read()[:10]
...
'MZ\x90\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x04\x00'
^Z
Because Python 2.7 is feature-frozen, symlink support will not be available in
Python before 3.2.
If you are experiencing errors, please reopen this ticket and describe what you
are doing, what you expect, and what you get instead.

[issue13412] No knowledge of symlinks on Windows
Brian Curtin br...@python.org added the comment: I think we could still make os.listdir work properly. I'll look into a patch for this. One problem here is the testability, since we'd need to rely on the mklink CLI app to create the symlinks, which requires that the calling application (python.exe) has elevated privileges. It wont be exercised by any of the buildbots. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13412 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13412] No knowledge of symlinks on Windows
Alex Regueiro alex...@gmail.com added the comment: Thanks Bryan, that would be great. The elevated privs problem could potentially be avoided by creating symlinks using the Win32 API directly. As long as the appropiate group policy is set, one does not require admin privs to create symlinks.
