Craig Holmquist <craigh...@gmail.com> added the comment: In my test, the second call to path.absolute() is just returning the same result as the first call, which is what I would expect (as you say, the path object doesn't update automatically). However, your output shows it returning '/Users/e/Development/OSS/cpython/test2' instead of the (now broken) path from the first call.

Craig Holmquist added the comment: Here's a new patch: now, _Py_attribute_data_to_stat and Py_DeleteFileW will just use the IsReparseTagNameSurrogate macro to determine if the file is a link, so os.walk etc. will know not to follow them. os.readlink, however, will only work with junctions and symbolic links; otherwise it will raise ValueError with "unsupported reparse tag".

Craig Holmquist added the comment: Can you point me toward any documentation on the additional tags you want to support? Searching for IO_REPARSE_TAG_IIS_CACHE mostly seems to yield header files that define it (and nothing at all on MSDN), and the non-Microsoft tags just yield a few results each. (For comparison, the junction and symbolic link tags yield 10K+ results each.) Junctions are created with each user's home directory so they exist on every Windows system, even if the user never explicitly creates them.

[issue23407] os.walk always follows Windows junctions
Craig Holmquist added the comment: The attached patch changes _Py_attribute_data_to_stat to set S_IFLNK for both symlinks and junctions, and changes win_readlink to return the target path for junctions (IO_REPARSE_TAG_MOUNT_POINT) as well as symlinks. I'm not sure what to do as far as adding a test--either Python needs a way to create junctions or the test needs to rely on the ones Windows creates by default. Incidentally, the existing win_readlink doesn't always work correctly with symbolic links, either (this is from 3.5.2): >>> import os >>> os.readlink(r'C:\Users\All Users') '\x00\x00f\x00\u0201\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00f\x00\x00\x00' The problem is that PrintNameOffset is an offset in bytes, so it needs to be divided by sizeof(WCHAR) if you're going to add it to a WCHAR pointer (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff552012(v=vs.85).aspx). Some links still seem to work correctly because PrintNameOffset is 0.

[issue4566] 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows
Craig Holmquist craigh...@gmail.com added the comment: Here's an option, though unfortunately not a trivial one: use a private build of the C runtime. The Windows version of Firefox does this (mozcrt19.dll). The private CRT build doesn't use SxS in any way, so it gets around this issue, as well as other issues like not allowing for me installs on Vista (#4018). For me to build the CRT from the source included with Visual Studio 2008 took some tweaking - apparently having the CRT source build properly out of the box wasn't a priority for MS (the Mozilla CRT seems to be built from the VS2005 source; perhaps that version is more cooperative). It does yield a CRT that links like an ordinary DLL, but the fact that it can't be built without modifications is a major drawback to this solution. Also, I'd assume that the CRT source isn't included in the Express version (and possibly other ones), so that's a downside, too. As far as Python itself, the project configurations would have to be changed to define _CRT_NOFORCE_MANIFEST, suppress the default linking to the stock CRT (/NODEFAULTLIB:msvcrt.lib), and link to the import library for the private CRT. I might try to create an experimental solution config for this. ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4566 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue4566] 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows
Craig Holmquist craigh...@gmail.com added the comment: test.c's error is can't find the DLL - this will be as we attempt to load Python's DLL - but this isn't the same as the original error, which is DLL init routine failed. To repro the initial error, I suspect you will want to put the full assembly next to test.exe - that will allow python.dll to load - then test.c should call PyExec_EvalString(import socket\n) - it is at *that* point the error we care about is likely to be thrown. The test program isn't having a problem loading python26.dll - it gets to an interpreter prompt and it can execute simple Python statements. It doesn't throw ImportError until the user types in import socket. Further, I can see in Process Explorer that python26.dll is loaded in the running testpy.exe process. I apologize if my initial description wasn't clear on that point. I do see the error codes are different (between testpy.c and mod_python), but both are triggered by trying to load _socket.pyd. Nonetheless: if I copy the CRT assembly into the same folder as testpy.exe, I get a popup dialog when I try to import socket, saying Runtime Error! and R6034; An application has made an attempt to load the C library incorrectly.. When I click OK in that dialog, I get this error in the console running testpy.exe: ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (If the assembly is not in the folder, there is no popup dialog at all.) So it does indeed change the error code received. Also, I see now that I made a mistake in reporting the error code from the Apache log. The actual behavior is this: * Ordinary, the ImportError is: ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. * However, if I put the CRT assembly in the same folder as _socket.pyd: ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. and I received the same popup dialog as above. Putting the CRT assembly in the Apache bin folder or Apache modules folder still gives the first error (module could not be found). I apologize for the confusion; when I first experienced this problem I tried to fix it by experimenting with putting the manifest in various folders and I wasn't paying close enough attention to what error was given when. To summarize: testpy.exe with CRT assembly in testpy.exe folder: init routine failed and popup. testpy.exe with CRT assembly in _socket.pyd folder: init routine failed and popup. testpy.exe otherwise: module could not be found Apache with CRT assembly in _socket.pyd folder: init routine failed and popup.

[issue4566] 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows
Craig Holmquist craigh...@gmail.com added the comment: I took a look at this with the debugger, as Mark recommended. The CRT's DLLMain is called _CRTDLL_INIT, that in turn calls __CRTDLL_INIT. __CRTDLL_INIT calls another function, _check_manifest. _check_manifest calls an SxS function called FindActCtxSectionString. It's looking for a string called msvcr90.dll in the ACTIVATION_CONTEXT_SECTION_DLL_REDIRECTION section of the process's activation context (activation contexts are data structures used by SxS). That call fails (_check_manifest doesn't call GetLastError or anything, it just returns FALSE right there). There's a comment there that says: /* no activation context used to load CRT DLL, means no manifest present in the process */ What's bizarre is that python26.dll successfully loaded msvcr90.dll (the global one from WinSxS), so it must have passed _check_manifest. It seems like the activation context consists of the DLL's manifest (_socket.pyd's in this case) and the exe's manifest, but no other ones, regardless of what other libraries have been loaded. The documentation doesn't seem to explain the interaction between manifests in different modules. It's also annoying that this restriction (the _check_manifest call) is completely artificial. I don't know if any of this information is useful (I'm only superficially familiar with activation contexts and the functions to manipulate them). The code is all in crtlib.c (in the CRT source) if someone else wants to take a look. ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4566 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue4566] 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows
Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I don't quite understand this issue yet. python26.dll is linked with a manifest. Isn't that good enough? Apparently not, at least in my testing. It seems that if a DLL is loaded, Windows will try to resolve its dependencies by looking at that DLL's own manifest; if that fails, Windows will try to resolve them by looking at the EXE's manifest. It won't check other DLLs. From the loader's perspective, it seems like there's no tree of DLLs, it's just EXE loads DLL, EXE loads DLL, even if the loading code is actually in one of the DLLs. I guess I'm more concerned about applications like Apache that only use Python through an external module or plugin; there's no reason the Apache developers would be expected to make this kind of change with the manifests and everything, much less any commercial, closed-source app (say, an IDE or editor that has plugins for several scripting languages). Also, the manifest trick I described as a workaround was only as simple as it was in this case because httpd.exe didn't have any manifest at all; if it already had an internal manifest, working-around this would have been much more gruesome. I understand, though, the value of xcopy deployment, and I realize that having some means of doing that is better than none at all. ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue4566 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue4566] 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows
New submission from Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Applications on Windows that don't link to the MSVCR90.DLL via a manifest are broken with Python 2.6.1. This includes apps that link with the C library statically and apps that link with other versions of it. These applications worked fine with Python 2.6. To test this, I created a simple application that did nothing but call Py_Main (compiled with VS2008). When that app links with the C library statically, attempting to import the socket module gives this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module File C:\Python26\lib\socket.py, line 46, in module import _socket ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. When that app links with the C library dynamically, it works properly. In particular, this issue breaks mod_python. From the Apache error log: [Sat Dec 06 00:49:21 2008] [error] make_obcallback: could not import mod_python.apache.\n Traceback (most recent call last): File C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\mod_python\apache.py, line 29, in module import cgi File C:\Python26\Lib\cgi.py, line 40, in module import urllib File C:\Python26\Lib\urllib.py, line 26, in module import socket File C:\Python26\lib\socket.py, line 46, in module import _socket ImportError: DLL load failed: A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. I'm guessing this is a side-effect of the fix for #4120. Since modules like _socket.pyd don't have manifests that tell Windows where to find the side-by-side assembly to load, and the application loading _socket.pyd doesn't have it in its manifest either, Windows has no clue where to find MSVCR90.dll. Something I discovered (by accident) is that, if there's an external manifest in the same folder as the hosting application (ie, testpy.exe.manifest) that points to the C runtime, it fixes the problem, even if the host app links statically to the C runtime. I don't recall off-hand whether these external manifests take precedence over the internal ones, but in this case it seems to provide enough information to Windows that it can resolve the dependency. -- components: Windows messages: 77133 nosy: craigh severity: normal status: open title: 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue4566 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue4566] 2.6.1 breaks many applications that embed Python on Windows
Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I understand the rationale behind #4120, but it seems like it only helps a narrow set of applications, namely applications that link dynamically with the same version of MSVCR90 as Python and that bundle the MSVCR90 DLL and that can't install the VS2008 redist. In 2.6.1 those apps don't have to install the VS2008 redist, but every other app needs to either bundle the runtime DLLs (as a private assembly) or use the manifest workaround I described above, even if the VS2008 redist is installed on the system. The 2.6.0 behavior - requiring the VS2008 redist to be installed - is hardly perfect (to put it mildly), but in my opinion it's more obvious and straightforward, and more consistent with the behavior of other Windows software. ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue4566 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue4043] Attempting to import deprecated modules in IDLE raises TypeError
New submission from Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In Python 2.6, attempting to import depecated modules in IDLE raises a TypeError exception. I verified this with sets, mimify, and MimeWriter. Here's the output for sets: import sets Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#2, line 1, in module import sets File C:\Python26\Lib\sets.py, line 85, in module stacklevel=2) File C:\Python26\Lib\warnings.py, line 29, in _show_warning file.write(formatwarning(message, category, filename, lineno, line)) TypeError: idle_formatwarning_subproc() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given) The other modules give a similar trace. Normally, I wouldn't consider this a serious issue, but there are some major packages out there that still use deprecated modules such as these. For example, MySQLdb 1.2.2 and SQLAlchemy 4.7p1 import the sets module so they can't be used at all in IDLE. -- components: IDLE messages: 74324 nosy: craigh severity: normal status: open title: Attempting to import deprecated modules in IDLE raises TypeError type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue4043 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue4019] 2.6 (final) uses old icons in Start Menu
New submission from Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The Start Menu icons created by the Python 2.6 installer use the old icons (the green snake, 4-bit color) instead of the new ones (blue and yellow snake, 24-bit color). This was observed on Windows XP.

[issue3215] Can't import sqlite3 in Python 2.6b1
New submission from Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This is observed on Windows XP; I don't know if it affects other platforms. Trying to import sqlite3 gives this error: import sqlite3 Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#1, line 1, in module import sqlite3 File C:\Python26\Lib\sqlite3\__init__.py, line 24, in module from dbapi2 import * File C:\Python26\lib\sqlite3\dbapi2.py, line 27, in module from _sqlite3 import * ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found. A look at the dependencies for _sqlite3.pyd shows that it's trying to link to a file called sqlite3.pyd, which doesn't exist. Renaming sqlite3.dll to sqlite3.pyd doesn't work either, because then import sqlite3 causes Python to try to import that file as a Python module (instead of C:\Python26\Lib\sqlite3\__init__.py). In Python 2.5.2, the _sqlite3.pyd module correctly links to sqlite3.dll. If there's already an issue regarding this I couldn't find it. -- components: Extension Modules, Windows messages: 68827 nosy: craigneuro severity: normal status: open title: Can't import sqlite3 in Python 2.6b1 type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3215 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue2840] Expat parser locks XML source file if ContentHandler raises an exception
New submission from Craig Holmquist [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This was observed in Python 2.5.2 on Windows XP. Run this code in IDLE: import xml.sax from xml.sax.handler import ContentHandler class C(ContentHandler): def startElement(self, name, attrs): assert False xml.sax.parse(xml_path, C()) Where xml_path points to a well-formed XML file. This will raise an AssertionError. Then, attempt to modify or delete the XML file that was specified; it's still locked by the Python process. Deleting the ContentHandler does not unlock it. There doesn't seem any way to unlock it aside from terminating the Python process. If the ContentHandler doesn't raise an exception or error, the file is unlocked properly. -- components: XML messages: 66754 nosy: craigneuro severity: normal status: open title: Expat parser locks XML source file if ContentHandler raises an exception type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __ Tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2840 __ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
