[issue13691] pydoc help (or help('help')) should show the doc for help
Petr Kubat killm...@gmail.com added the comment:
I see. So calling help('help') should produce the documentation on the help()
function and typing help at the help prompt should print the help for the
prompt.
Tricky indeed. I think I'll look at it during the day after tomorrow and post
some results (if any).

[issue15045] Make textwrap.dedent() consistent with str.splitlines(True) and str.strip()
New submission from Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com:
In working on #13857, I noticed that the current regex based implementation of
textwrap.dedent() is limited specifically to ASCII whitespace (tabs and spaces)
with Unix line endings (a line containing solely a Windows \r\n line ending
will be deemed to contain a non-whitespace character, since \r isn't
recognised by the regex)
The new textwrap.indent() function added in #13857 takes a much simpler
approach to whitespace handling: its definition of a line is exactly that of
text.splitlines(True), while its definition of a line that does not consist
solely of whitespace is bool(line.strip())
As a simple example of how that can make a difference, consider:
\N{NO-BREAK SPACE}.strip()
''
One way to remedy this would be to replace the regex based implementation of
textwrap.dedent with a simpler one written in terms of text.splitlines(True)
and line.strip().

Is: return res 0 ? res : ulength; Should be return res 0 ? (Py_ssize_t)res : (Py_ssize_t)ulength; Now it can be possible that a close of the socket is not detected.

[issue9527] Add aware local time support to datetime module
Alexander Belopolsky alexander.belopol...@gmail.com added the comment: This was originally posted on python-dev, but I hope reposting it here will make this issue easier to navigate. With addition of fixed offset timezone class and the timezone.utc instance [0], it is easy to get UTC time as an aware datetime instance: datetime.now(timezone.utc) datetime.datetime(2010, 8, 3, 14, 16, 10, 670308, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc) However, if you want to keep time in your local timezone, getting an aware datetime is almost a catch 22. If you know your timezone UTC offset, you can do EDT = timezone(timedelta(hours=-4)) datetime.now(EDT) datetime.datetime(2010, 8, 3, 10, 20, 23, 769537, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(-1, 72000))) but the problem is that there is no obvious or even correct way to find local timezone UTC offset. [1] In a comment on issue #5094 (datetime lacks concrete tzinfo implementation for UTC), I proposed to address this problem in a localtime([t]) function that would return current time (or time corresponding to the optional datetime argument) as an aware datetime object carrying local timezone information in a tzinfo set to an appropriate timezone instance. This solution is attractive by its simplicity, but there are several problems: 1. An aware datetime cannot carry all information that system localtime() supplies in a time tuple. Specifically, the is_dst flag is lost. This is not a problem for most applications as long as timezone UTC offset and timezone name are available, but may be an issue when interoperability with the time module is required. 2. Datetime's tzinfo interface was designed with the idea that 2010-11-06 12:00 EDT + 1 day = 2010-11-07 12:00 EST, not 2010-11-07 12:00 EDT. It other words, if I have lunch with someone at noon (12:00 EDT) on Saturday the day before first Sunday in November, and want to meet again at the same time tomorrow, I mean 12:00 EST, not 24 hours later. With localtime() returning datetime with tzinfo set to fixed offset timezone, however, localtime() + timedelta(1) will mean exactly 24 hours later and the result will be expressed in an unusual for the given location timezone. An alternative approach is the one recommended in the python manual. [3] One could implement a LocalTimezone class with utcoffset(), tzname() and dst() extracting information from system mktime and localtime calls. This approach has its own shortcomings: 1. While adding integral number of days to datetimes in business setting, it is natural to expect automatic timezone adjustments, it is not as clearcut when adding hours or minutes. 2. The tzinfo.utcoffset() interface that expects *standard* local time as an argument is confusing to many users. Even the official example in the python manual gets it wrong. [4] 3. datetime(..., tzinfo=LocalTimezone()) is ambiguous during the repeated hour when local clock is set back in DST to standard time transition. As far as I can tell, the only way to resolve the last problem is to add is_dst flag to the datetime object, which would also be the only way to achieve full interoperability between datetime objects and time tuples. [5] The traditional answer to a call for improvement of timezone support in datetime module has been: this is up to 3rd parties to implement. Unfortunately, stdlib is asking 3rd parties to implement an impossible interface without giving access to the necessary data. The impossibility comes from the requirement that dst() method should find out whether local time represents DST or standard time while there is an hour each year when the same local time can be either. The missing data is the system UTC offset when it changes historically. The time module only gives access to the current UTC offset. My preference is to implement the first alternative - localtime([t]) returning aware datetime with fixed offset timezone. This will solve the problem of python's lack of access to the universally available system facilities that are necessary to implement any kind of aware local time support.

So, line buffering does not appear to buffer line by line.
I ran into this problem because I had a much larger file that I thought
was in utf-8. When I got the encoding error, I was annoyed that the
error message didn't really tell me which line the error was on, but I
figured, OK, I'll just set line buffering and then I'll be able to tell.
But that didn't work. Fortunately using '2' did workbut at a minimum
the docs need to be updated to indicate when line buffering really is
line buffering and when it isn't.

[issue15048] Manually Installed Python Includes System Wide Paths
Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment: I have to admit that I'm not keen on this feature for the reasons James cited. And I think the example of the shared user site directory is not a good analogy. In that case, you, as a user, have more control over the presence and contents of the directory since it is located within your home directory. You would normally need administrator privilege to manipulate /Library/Python. And, in any case, it would be better if there *were* separate user site directories per Python instance, IMO. Yes, you can play with sys.path after the fact but that's not very friendly. It certainly can lead to confusion. An uncontrived example: $ sudo easy_install-2.7 appscript [...] Installed /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/appscript-1.0.0-py2.7-macosx-10.7-intel.egg $ /usr/bin/python2.7 -c import appscript $ /usr/local/bin/python2.7 -c import appscript Traceback (most recent call last): File string, line 1, in module File build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/appscript/__init__.py, line 8, in module File build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/aem/__init__.py, line 5, in module File build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/aem/ae.py, line 7, in module File build/bdist.macosx-10.7-intel/egg/aem/ae.py, line 3, in __bootstrap__ ImportError: No module named pkg_resources ... because the non-system Python did not have Distribute or setuptools installed, whereas Apple supplies it with the system Python. It's not the only package to fail in a similar way. I expect there are other cases where differences in extension module builds could cause problems. To me, the feature seems to go against explicit is better than implicit. As far as I know, the only place where this behavior is documented is in the What's New documents for 2.7. I wouldn't object to removing it in 3.3. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue15048 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9527] Add aware local time support to datetime module
Alexander Belopolsky alexander.belopol...@gmail.com added the comment: Two objections have been raised to the proposed datetime.localtime() function: 1. It offers the third subtly different way to obtain current time in datetime module. The first two being provided by datetime.now() and datetime.today(). 2. C library localtime function takes POSIX timestamp as an argument, so datetime.localtime() should follow suit. I attach a prototype patch for a different approach: make datetime.astimezone() method supply local timezone information if no argument is given. This patch also demonstrates that extracting all TZ information that platform may have knowledge of is not trivial. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file25939/datetime-astimezone-proto.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9527 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue15048] Manually Installed Python Includes System Wide Paths
Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment: A few more thoughts. The original impetus for this feature was Issue4865. The use case there seem to be from users of Google App Engine back when it was released using Python 2.5. It seems to me that the use of dmg installers for Python packages has diminished; certainly the unofficial packages at pythonmac.org haven't been updated for more recent releases. The issues with installing some packages (like PIL) with 3rd-party C library dependencies notwithstanding, I wonder if part of the original call for this feature was the fact that Apple does provide setuptools easy_install's with system Pythons and there is confusion that a setuptools/Distribute instance, with its own easy_install command, is needed for each Python. Some of that confusion should diminish over time with the availability of pip -E and, starting with 3.3, a batteries-included installer command, pysetup. Also, with regard to backward compatibility, I speculate that there hasn't been much notice of this feature since it only affects users of Python 2.7 on OS X 10.7+. For Python 3, the presence or absence of the feature doesn't affect anyone because Apple has yet to ship a system Python 3 so removing it from 3.3 would have no backward compatibility impacts, unless an administrator manually created a /Library/Python/3.x for some reason and manually installed things there. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue15048 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

James Henstridge ja...@jamesh.id.au added the comment: One problem I can see with using a fixed offset tzinfo for localtime is that it might confuse people when doing date arithmetic. For example: d = datetime.localtime() + timedelta(days=7) While it will give a correct answer as a point in time it will have the wrong time zone offset if run just before a daylight saving transition, which could be just as confusing.

[issue15003] make PyNamespace_New() public
Eric Snow ericsnowcurren...@gmail.com added the comment: Is this documented in whatsnew? I'm not sure what has been (none of my patches have done so). Also, I remember a discussion about making it public or not, but don’t recall a decision. Amaury brought it up in msg162127. His point was that the type is public in Python, so why not the C API? That's about the extent of the discussion. :) Do you see any harm in making PyNamespace_New() public? I personally find it bad that we have structseqs for most things, dicts in PEP 418 get_clock_info return values, and now simplenamespace for sys.implementation. The use cases are different for the different types. StructSequence/namedtuple provides fixed data structures for structured records. A dict is essentially the opposite: an un-fixed data structure for dynamic namespaces, making no firm promises as to what the future holds. SimpleNamespace fills a similar role to dicts, but offers a higher appearance of stability by virtue of using attributes vs. keys. The problem is that moving from item-access to attribute-access is not a backward-compatible change. That's the big reason why PEP 421 specified the use of an attr-based object. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue15003 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
