[issue33839] IDLE tooltips.py: refactor and add docstrings and tests

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

> What do you think of changing 'ToolTip' to 'Tooltip'?

+1, I'll change it.

> TclError from widget.destroy suggests that we *might* be able to cleanup 
> better.

The try/except clauses which are hard to test are used since the order in which 
widgets are destroyed can vary, and I don't know how to properly check whether 
a widget still exists (so that e.g. unbinding events won't throw an exception).

For the on-hover tooltip, events are registered on the "anchor" widget.  ISTM 
these events should be unregistered when the tooltip is destroyed, hence I 
added that to __del__.  Any suggestions for a better cleanup mechanism?

>> The TclError exceptions are reproduced by the htest in tooltip.py.
> With the code as is?  Or if the try-except is removed?
Without the try/except.

> I [...] would like the popups to respond keyboard (Tab) focus changes as well 
> as mouse movement focus changes.

Looking at the Tk docs, it seems this will require binding properly to the 
FocusIn and oFocusOut events.  This is indeed a separate mechanism.  It should 
be straightforward when bound to a simple widget such as a button.  The Calltip 
class will need to override this since it already implements an appropriate 
alternative.

[issue33865] [EASY] Missing code page aliases: "unknown encoding: 874"

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

Karthikeyan Singaravelan  added the comment:

Thanks @prawin for the confirmation. There is a mailing list discussion at 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/python-ideas/Ny1RN9wY0cI and it seems 
this is related to Thai language locale. Feel free to add in if you have any 
more input on if it's reproducible in maybe other machines of Thai locale or so 
on. There is a PR that adds alias along with other missing items but I will 
wait for others to chime in to see if there is a better solution to fix this.

Thanks.

[issue33898] pathlib issues with Windows device paths

[Eryk Sun]

New submission from Eryk Sun :

For \\?\ extended device paths, pathlib removes the trailing slash for the root 
directory if the device isn't UNC or a logical (A-Z) drive.

Correct:

>>> str(Path('//?/UNC/'))
'?\\UNC\\'

>>> str(Path('//?/Z:/'))
'?\\Z:\\'

Incorrect:

>>> str(Path('//?/BootPartition/'))
'?\\BootPartition'

>>> str(Path('//?/Volume{}/'))
'?\\Volume{}'

>>> str(Path('//?/Global/Z:/'))
'?\\Global\\Z:'

It keeps the trailing slash for some \\.\ paths, but not all.

Correct:

>>> str(Path('//./BootPartition/'))
'.\\BootPartition\\'

Incorrect:

>>> str(Path('//./Global/Z:/'))
'.\\Global\\Z:'

It adds a root directory to \\.\ device paths where none was specified. 

Incorrect:

>>> str(Path('//./nul'))
'.\\nul\\'

>>> str(Path('//./PhysicalDrive0'))
'.\\PhysicalDrive0\\'

>>> str(Path('//./C:'))
'.\\C:\\'

".\\C:" refers to the volume device, whereas ".\\C:\\" is the root 
directory in the file system.

pathlib should parse \\?\ and \\.\ device paths the same way with respect to 
the drive and root. The difference in practice is only how Windows does (\\.\) 
or does not (\\?\) canonicalize the path. 

Additionally, pathlib fails to identify the drive correctly in these cases.

Incorrect:

>>> Path('//?/Global/Z:/').drive
'?\\'

>>> Path('//?/BootPartition/Temp').drive
'?\\'

Except for "UNC" and "Global" paths, the drive should be the first component 
after the local-device prefix. The "UNC" device also includes subsequent server 
and share components, if any. For the reserved "Global" symlink, it should look 
to the next component. For example, r'\\?\Global\UNC\server\share' is a drive. 

There's also the "GlobalRoot" symlink (or "Global\\GlobalRoot" to be pedantic), 
but that can't be handled generically.

[issue33896] filecmp.cmp returns True on files that differ

[Dean Morin]

Dean Morin  added the comment:

Fair enough, how about just making it clearer in the documentation? Currently 
you need to look at the source code to see what would be required for a 
signature clash to occur. Maybe something like:

Note that the [os.stat()](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat) 
signatures only consider 
[st_mode](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_mode), 
[st_size](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_size), 
and 
[st_mtime](https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.stat_result.st_mtime). 
In some circumstances it's possible for differing files to be considered equal 
when _shallow_ is `True`.

I agree with David.  I would like the ugly markup changed independent of how 
Sphinx treats it.  I was thinking of changing the title to "Change obsolete tex 
markup in stdlib docstrings".  The intent of `word' was for people to see 
balanced quotes, which in ascii text means 'word'.

[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in the standard library docstrings

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

RestructuredText, DocUtils, and Sphinx were developed independently, by people 
other than the pydev/cpython group.  (The proposal to include DocUtils in the 
stdlib was rejected.)  We converted to .rst for the Python documentation 
sources files about a decade ago.  Sphinx turns them into the .html files you 
can see online.  RestructuredText markup can now also be used in PEP, 
news/changelog, and What's New sources.  These are things that most people only 
view online or in other processed forms, not in source form.

On the other hand, stdlib docstrings are mostly viewed unprocessed in .py 
sources or as output from help() in text consoles or text widgets.  So markup 
in stdlib docstrings would impact everyone, not just core developers.

[issue33896] filecmp.cmp returns True on files that differ

[Dean Morin]

New submission from Dean Morin :

By default `filecmp.cmp()` has `shallow=True` which can produce some surprising 
behavior.

In the docs it states:

> If shallow is true, files with identical os.stat() signatures are taken to be 
> equal.

However the "signature" only considers the file mode, file size, and file 
modification time, which is not sufficient. `cmp()` will return `True` (files 
are equal) in some circumstances for files that actually differ. Depending on 
the underlying file system, the same python script will return `True` or 
`False` when `cmp()` is called on the exact same files. I'll add the 
long-winded details at the bottom.

To fix, I believe `st.st_ino` should be included in `_sig` 
(https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.7/Lib/filecmp.py#L68).

I'm in the middle of a move, but I can make a PR in the next couple weeks if 
this seems like a reasonable fix and no one else gets around to it.

The long version is that we're migrating some existing reports to a new data 
source. The goal is to produce identical csv files from both data sources. I 
have a python script that pulls down both csv files and uses `cmp()` to compare 
them. 

On my machine, the script correctly discovers the differences between the two. 
One of the date columns has incorrect dates in the new version.

However on my colleagues machine, the script fails to discover the differences 
and shows that the csv files are identical.

The difference is that on my machine, `os.stat(f).st_mtime` is a timestamp 
which includes fractional seconds (1529108360.1955538), but only includes the 
seconds (1529108360.0) on my colleagues machine. Since only the dates differed 
within the csvs, both files had the same file mode, file size, and both were 
downloaded within the same second.

We got a few more people to see what they got for `st_mtime`. The link could be 
the file system used. We're all using macs, but for those of us using an APFS 
Volume disk, `st_mtime` returns a timestamp which includes fractional seconds, 
and for those of us using a Logical Volume Mac OS Extended disk, it returns a 
timestamp which only includes the seconds (1529108360.0).

When comparing os.stat() between the two differing csv files, the only 
difference (other than fractional seconds for various timestamps) was `st_ino` 
which is why I believe it should be included in `_sig()`.

[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in the standard library docstrings

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

No, it is (somewhat) unique to tex.  If you write `word' tex would turn that 
into a pair of opposing quotes in the typeset document, as opposed to 'word' 
(the convention in regular text/emails/posts/etc) where you'd just see ascii 
quotes.  tex would render 'word' as a closing quote both before and after word, 
which looks weird in typeset text.

There's no bug here; as you say we aren't interested in making the docstrings 
parseable as restructured text (at least, I'm not).  For me, this is about 
getting rid of the now-odd-looking tex leftovers and making the ascii styling 
consistent with the bulk of our docstrings.

It's not a big deal, though.

[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in the standard library docstrings

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

What is the problem? Docstrings are not written in the reStructuredText format 
in general. If Sphinx complains about docstrings in the stlib, don't run Sphinx 
for the stdlib files or report a Sphinx bug. Even if remove all `x', docstrings 
still will not be valid reStructuredText. For example the last three lines will 
be joined in a single paragraph for the docstring in msg319848.

`name' does not have special meaning in (La)TeX. AFAIK `name' is common writing 
of quotes in English texts. It predates reStructuredText and was widely used in 
Usenet and mailing lists (as two spaces after sentence-ending punctuation, 
double hyphen for a dash, _n_a_m_e_ to simulate underscoring, etc). It is just 
a part of old computer-typing culture (or may be even pre-computer).

[issue33894] tempfile.tempdir cannot be unset

[Philip Rowlands]

Philip Rowlands  added the comment:

How about

- If tempdir is unset or None at any call to
+ If tempdir is None (the default) at any call to

This avoids headaches over the meaning of "unset", and accurately reflects the 
code at:

[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in the standard library docstrings

By the way, in case anyone is curious, I'm pretty sure that markup is left over

[issue28710] Sphinx incompatible markup in the standard library docstrings

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

Right, my opinion is that we shouldn't be putting markup in docstrings.  They 
are (from our point of view) pure text.

I don't know if discussion on python-dev is warranted, it seems like a fairly 
uncontroversial change, since it brings the docstrings in question into 
compliance with our general practice in the majority of the stdlib.  Unless my 
impression about that is wrong :)

I don't have an opinion on multiple versus single PR for this.

[issue29750] smtplib doesn't handle unicode passwords

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

I didn't think to look at the standards for the auth mechanisms, I only looked 
at the smtp standards.  So, if the standard says utf-8, then we should use 
that.  But we should still support bytes passwords so that an application could 
work around issues like the possible ms-exchange one, if they need to.  Those 
could be two separate PRs, though.  In fact, they probably should be.  As a 
standards-compliance issue, we would be within our rules to backport the utf-8 
standards-compliance fix.

[issue32962] test_gdb fails in debug build with `-mcet -fcf-protection -O0`

[Marcel Plch]

Marcel Plch  added the comment:

The problem is with this function:
static PyObject *
builtin_id(PyModuleDef *self, PyObject *v)
/*[clinic end generated code: output=0aa640785f697f65 input=5a534136419631f4]*/
{
return PyLong_FromVoidPtr(v);
}

It's a one-liner, so the compiler really likes to inline it.

Without the inline optimization, the additional "next" command makes a jump 
into the function.

But when the function is inlined and you set a breakpoint to it, the line is 
just seen as a function from the debugger, that means you already are inside 
and the "next" makes the debugger exit this line, and so the function.

More graphical explanation:
non-inline case:
br
{
next
   return PyLong_FromVoidPtr(v);

inline case:
br
   return PyLong_FromVoidPtr(v);
next
"Some code without access to the func arguments' debug symbols"


I propose two possible solutions:
1) Skip whole test_gdb when optimizations are used (who debugs with them 
anyway?)
2) Conditionalize the "next". (this could be hard as we would need to know when 
the function is inlined)

Also, I have found out that when configured with --with-pydebug and 
--enable-optimizations, tests stop to fail. (the failing bots are configuring 
with --enable-optimizations only)

[issue33893] Linux terminal shortcuts support in python shell

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

zsh lets you edit multiline shell commands as a unit.  If you up-arrow, you get 
all the lines of the block popped up, with the cursor on the last line.  
Further arrow keys will navigate within the multiline text block, with an 
up-arrow from the first line taking you to the next previous shell command, and 
enter within the block will re-execute the entire modified multiline command.  
I haven't used IDLE recently enough to remember how that compares to how IDLE 
works.

Ronald Oussoren  added the comment:

Confirmation that the patch actually fixes the problem would be nice, but I'd 
still like to understand why Python tries to use an encoding with the name 
"874" as this might lead to a nicer solution to the problem.

BTW. There is some discussion on this issue on the python-ideas mailinglist.

[issue33865] [EASY] Missing code page aliases: "unknown encoding: 874"

[Karthikeyan Singaravelan]

Karthikeyan Singaravelan  added the comment:

I think if we can get a confirmation from @Prawin that adding an alias fixed 
the issue or a minimal test case then it will be helpful. The minimal I can 
come up with is as below :  

import codecs

# Fails without alias being added other cases like 1252 pass because of alias

assert codecs.encode('a', '874') == codecs.encode('a', 'cp874')

# Below assertion passes after search_function patch though alias is not added 
since I prepend cp in search_function

assert codecs.encode('a', '874') == codecs.encode('a', 'cp874')


Thanks

[issue33661] urllib may leak sensitive HTTP headers to a third-party web site

[Artem Smotrakov]

Artem Smotrakov  added the comment:

If I am not missing something, section 6.4 of RFC 7231 doesn't explicitly 
discuss that all headers should be sent. I wish it did :)

I think that an Authorization header for host A may make sense for host B if 
both A and B use the same database with user credentials. I am not sure that 
modern authentication mechanisms like OAuth rely on this fact (although I need 
to check the specs to make sure).

Sending a Cookie header to a different domain looks like a violation of the 
same-origin policy to me. RFC 6265 says something about it

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265#section-5.4

curl was recently updated to filter out Authorization headers in case of a 
redirect to another host. Chrome and Firefox don't sent either Authorization or 
Cookie headers while handling a redirect. It doesn't seem to be a disaster for 
them :)

[issue33893] Linux terminal shortcuts support in python shell

[Steven D'Aprano]

Steven D'Aprano  added the comment:

Terry asked: 
> I have a question about Linux consoles. [...] Does a Linux console retrieve 
> all 5 at once, as IDLE does?

Not typically. Like the Windows console, Linux consoles are also line-oriented, 
and hitting up-arrow cycles through each line, one at a time.

The bash shell offers a special "operate-and-go-next" command to operate on a 
particular history line and then immediately retrieve the next history line:

http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/features_7.html

but I think that's about as close as any standard Linux console gets to the 
ability to retrieve multiple lines from history at once.

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren  added the comment:

I'm not convinced that adding code to search_function is the right solution for 
this. 

BTW. I'm also not sure yet why this error happens, does windows return a 
codepage number as the preferred encoding when the io module looks for one? If 
so, wouldn't it be better to correct the encoding name there (from the codepage 
number to a string with a "cp" prefix)?

[issue33895] LoadLibraryExW called with GIL held can cause deadlock

[Tony Roberts]

New submission from Tony Roberts :

In dynload_win.c LoadLibraryExW is called with the GIL held.

This can cause a deadlock in an uncommon case where the GIL also needs to be 
acquired when another thread is being detached.

Both LoadLibrary and FreeLibrary acquire the Windows loader-lock. If 
FreeLibrary is called on a module that acquires the GIL when detaching, a 
dead-lock occurs when another thread with the GIL held blocks on the 
loader-lock by calling LoadLibrary.

This can happen when Python is embedded in another application via an 
extension, and where that application may create threads that call into that 
extension that results in Python code being called. Because the application is 
creating the thread, the extension that's embedding Python doesn't know when 
the thread will terminate. The first time the extension is called from that 
thread and it needs to run some Python code it has to create a new thread 
state, and when the thread terminates that thread state should be destroyed. In 
other situations the thread state would be destroyed as part of cleaning up the 
thread, but here the extension does not know when the thread terminates and so 
must do it on thread detach in DllMain. Attempting to destroy the thread state 
this way requires acquiring the GIL, which can cause the deadlock described 
above.

The safest way to avoid this deadlock (without potentially leaking thread 
states) would be to release the GIL before calling LoadLibrary.

[issue33893] Linux terminal shortcuts support in python shell

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

These issues are not as simple as you think.  But anyway, clearing the shell in 
#6143.

Shell is a modified editor.  Currently, the arrows move the cursor around just 
as in the editor.  For multiline statements, this is essential, and even for 
single-line statements, not as useless as some claim.  Single-line command 
consoles can get away with changing the meaning of Up and Down.  This is 
discussed in #2704, and what I said above is explained more in msg243140 of May 
2015.

I have a question about Linux consoles.  Windows Command Prompt is strictly a 
command *line* console.  It sees

>>> def fib(n):
...if n >= 2:
...return fib(n-2) + fib(n-1)
...else:
...return n

as 5 commands.  Its history mechanism retrieves a line at a time.  Does a Linux 
console retrieve all 5 at once, as IDLE does?

[issue6143] IDLE - an extension to clear the shell window

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

The way to clear an editor window at least on Windows is ^A (select all) and 
delete, which can be any of BS (backspace) or DEL or ^X (Cut).  The latter 
'moves to the clipboard.  In Shell, select all selects everything, but ^X 
enters '^x', the other 2 do their normal thing.  All three unselect without 
deleting.

My first inclination is to have any or all of these work by ignoring IDLE's 
protection mechanism, which is different from tk's no-write mode.  After 
deleting, the prompts needs to be re-written.  I understand that Cut would need 
to expand squeezed blocks to the clipboard.

Cython only makes extensions for CPython, and uses CPython's runtime. But it 
does have its own syntax, which is quite useful in the number-crunching domain.

I think it should be left out, but then, so should VPython which seems like 
it's a module usable by either the CPython or RapydScript interpreters.

If tempdir is unset or None at any call to any of the above functions except

[issue33893] Linux terminal shortcuts support in python shell

[sebastin]

sebastin  added the comment:

I meant this on Python IDLE across all platforms.
basic necessary enhancements for seamless use of IDLE should atleast have below 
feature supported.

clear(used in MAC/LINUX TERMINAL) or cls(used in WINDOWS CMD PROMPT) - clear 
the PYTHON IDLE screen.

up arrow - for the search history.

If this enhancements is in progress/open state then its good, if rejected this 
be reconsidered ?

[issue29750] smtplib doesn't handle unicode passwords

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

There's also some discussion there (from 3 years ago) of possibly needing to 
fall back to ISO-8859-1 to work with MS Exchange, despite the standards saying 
UTF-8 should be used.  It's unclear to me whether that's actually the case.

[issue29750] smtplib doesn't handle unicode passwords

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

This specifically seems relevant:

> In order for Thunderbird to be standards-compliant-enough to interoperate 
> with standards-compliant servers, it should use UTF-8 for the SASL PLAIN 
> mechanism regardless of the underlying protocol (IMAP, POP and SMTP). That 
> includes the POP3 "AUTH PLAIN" command and the SMTP "AUTH PLAIN" command.

I found the Thunderbirg bugzilla issues where they appear to have dealt 
precisely with this issue (for a variety of protocols, including SMTP):
