The error is WU_E_NOT_INITIALIZED [1], "the object could not be initialized" -- 
whatever object it's talking about.

[issue25765] Installation error

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Hard to tell, but you may just need to reboot. I'd also make sure you've 
installed all Windows Updates that you need, as the one we're trying to install 
should be in there (which means our installer doesn't have to do it).

The error code is from Windows Update (which we sometimes need to run as part 
of the install), and there's so much spam out there these days that it is 
impossible to find out what it means.

No worries, as I said, I understand, I would probably do the same, were I in 
your shoes. I have found that being a maintainer of a complex software project

[issue25751] ctypes.util , Shell Injection in find_library()

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I do not believe 3.5 is fixed either:

$ python3.5
Python 3.5.0 (default, Sep 20 2015, 11:28:25) 
[GCC 5.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import ctypes.util
>>> ctypes.util.find_library("; echo Hello shell >&2")
Hello shell
>>> 

Issue 22636 has a patch with some review comments, but is is still open. I 
think it needs someone to take another look, perhaps update the patch, and get 
it committed.

I will mark the other issue as a bug fix for 2.7 and 3.4+.

[issue25764] PyObject_Call() is called with an exception set in subprocess

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

This patch fixes the exception when releasing the import lock. I also moved the 
Py_XDECREF(gc_module) back out to where it was to keep the patch to a minimum, 
but I don’t really see a way to simplify it much more.

Apparently Solaris supports posix_spawn(), which doesn’t require double the 
memory like fork(). But implementing that would be a significant project, and 
was rejected in Issue 20104.

[issue25698] test regressions introduced with the fix for #22995

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:

I set a breakpoint where the error occurs.  I'm in test_cpickle.py dumps().  
Doing cPickle.dumps(arg)  in the bp, I get the error.  arg is:

(Pdb) arg
{<__main__.H object at 0x7ff8e2a870d0>: None}
(Pdb) type(arg)


Look again at the AttributeError:

(Pdb) cPickle.dumps(arg)
*** AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_reduce_ex'

First, why is that trying to find the attribute of a module object instead of 
the MyDict instance?  I even tried this just to discount the effects of 
__main__.H:

(Pdb) cPickle.dumps(type(arg)())
*** AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_reduce_ex'

(as you'd expect, type(arg)() is just an instance of a MyDict.

Two questions: why is it trying to get the attribute on a module object, and 
why is the attribute it's trying to get '_reduce_ex' instead of '__reduce_ex__'?

The attribute to get is taken from the __reduce_ex___str in cPickle.c, which 
gets defined as:

#define INIT_STR(S) if (!( S ## _str=PyString_InternFromString(#S)))  return -1;
...
INIT_STR(__reduce_ex__);

This is a compile-time definition, so it makes no sense that it would be trying 
to find the wrong attribute in some cases (e.g. when running the full 
regrtest.py) but not in others (e.g. running just test_cpickle.py).  But I can 
find no other references to a string containing "reduce_ex" so the cPickle 
version has to be it.  And that gets initialized in init_stuff(), called from 
initcPickle() so I don't see any other way for it to get corrupted.

cPickle.dumps({}) works just fine, so it's an artifact of the MyDict.  That's 
all I've figured out for now.

[issue25751] ctypes.util , Shell Injection in find_library()

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Dimitri John Ledkov added the comment:

Whilst fixed in 3.5, it is not fixed in 2.7. And the reporter believes this is 
a security vulnerability.

Can this be cherry-picked into the 2.7 branch?

[issue25770] expose name, args, and kwargs from methodcaller

[Joe Jevnik]

New submission from Joe Jevnik:

This patch adds 3 properties to methodcaller objects for inspecting the object 
at runtime:

1. 'name': the name of the method to call
2. 'args': the position arguments to pass to the method
3. 'keywords': the keyword arguments to pass to the method

args and keywords act like functools.partial (that is why I did not name it 
kwargs).

I noticed that recently the repr changed to expose this information which helps 
in the debugging use case; however, this allows us to use the methodcaller to 
maybe construct a new methodcaller with different args, or call a different 
method with the same args.

[issue25698] test regressions introduced with the fix for #22995

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw added the comment:

This seems entirely reproducible in a local Xenial sbuild using the source 
packages in https://launchpad.net/~doko/+archive/ubuntu/toolchain/+packages

Interestingly, inspection of the built artifacts in the schroot after all is 
done yields:

# find . -name copy_reg.py? | xargs ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 barry barry 5597 Nov 30 16:52 ./Lib/copy_reg.pyc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 barry barry 5553 Nov 30 16:53 ./Lib/copy_reg.pyo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 barry barry 5091 Nov 30 17:03 
./debian/tmp-dbg/usr/lib/python2.7/copy_reg.pyc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 barry barry 5047 Nov 30 17:03 
./debian/tmp-dbg/usr/lib/python2.7/copy_reg.pyo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 barry barry 5091 Nov 30 17:02 
./debian/tmp-shdbg/usr/lib/python2.7/copy_reg.pyc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 barry barry 5047 Nov 30 17:02 
./debian/tmp-shdbg/usr/lib/python2.7/copy_reg.pyo

Those are debug builds, so it seems reasonable they are different sizes than 
the non-debug artifacts in Lib, right?  And since they are self-consistent in 
size, it seems like it wouldn't be caused by a pyc/pyo write bug.

Default __reduce_ex__ and __reduce__ implementations call copy_reg._reduce_ex. 
cPickle.dumps({}) works because __reduce_ex__ is not called, dict is supported

[issue25708] runpy hides traceback for some exceptions

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

I think there are a couple of related bugs here, with open reports:

1. Issue 14285: runpy catches various exceptions including AttributeError, and 
incorrectly assumes this means you gave it a bad module or package name.

2. Issue 19771: runpy incorrectly interprets exceptions such as in (1) as 
meaning the package doesn’t have a __main__ submodule. But these exceptions can 
happen even if hello.__main__ exists. My patch there changes the error message 
to:

/home/proj/python/cpython/python: Error while finding spec for 'hello.__main__' 
(AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute 'dsgjdgj')

3. Issue 16217: runpy should handle exceptions from user code by printing out 
the relevant traceback, rather than letting the Python interpreter print out 
all the internal runpy frames.

Marking this as a dupe of Issue 14285, but I think a proper solution to that 
would probably affect the other two as well.
