[issue32308] Replace empty matches adjacent to a previous non-empty match in re.sub()
David Barnett added the comment: We were also bitten by this behavior change in https://github.com/google/vroom/issues/110. I'm kinda baffled by the new behavior and assumed it had to be an accidental regression, but I guess not. If you have any other context on the BDFL conversation and reasoning for calling this behavior correct, I'd love to see additional info. -- nosy: +mu_mind ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue32308> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue25012] pathlib should allow converting to absolute paths without resolving symlinks
David Barnett added the comment:
Right, and to clarify a bit further why I didn't just use A.resolve() ==
B.resolve() from the beginning, this is in a unit test where the equality check
wasn't in my code. I wanted to assert I received a certain call on my mock, like
mock_open_method.assert_called_once_with(pathlib.Path('foo'))
so it's much more convenient to be able to create a path object that matches
with my target path instead of more complicated matching.

[issue25012] pathlib should allow converting to absolute paths without resolving symlinks

[issue25012] pathlib should allow converting to absolute paths without resolving symlinks
New submission from David Barnett:
There doesn't seem to be any helper in pathlib to expand a relative path to an
absolute path *without* resolving symlinks.
For example, if I want to convert
pathlib.Path('some/path')
to
pathlib.Path('/full/path/to/some/path')
where some/path is a symlink, my best option seems to be
pathlib.Path(os.path.abspath(str(pathlib.Path('some/path'

[issue22710] doctest exceptions include nondeterministic namespace
New submission from David Barnett: doctests includes special exception processing support (described in https://docs.python.org/3/library/doctest.html#what-about-exceptions), but in python3 it seems to print the fully-qualified class name even for exception classes in the same module, which makes the expected output vary between py2 and py3. For instance, given a file spam/eggs.py with these contents: class Error(Exception): Spam, Bacon, and Spam raise Error() Traceback (most recent call last): ... Error running the command python3 -m doctest spam/eggs.py will fail expecting eggs.Error instead of just Error. If you instead invoke it with the command nosetests3 --with-doctest spam/eggs.py it will fail expecting yet another name, spam.eggs.Error. It may be possible to work around issues like this using ELLIPSIS, but it makes the doctests harder to read and it really seems like at least exception classes defined in the same file should be able to match by just their short class name. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 229864 nosy: mu_mind priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: doctest exceptions include nondeterministic namespace type: behavior versions: Python 3.2, Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22710 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue22710] doctest exceptions include nondeterministic namespace
David Barnett added the comment: But… that doesn't help. It completely changes the semantics of the doctests. I have a bunch of doctests demonstrating different failures of the same exception class, and with IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL running my doctests to verify they're still correct is next to useless. Plus it's very noisy to slap # doctest: +IGNORE_EXCEPTION_DETAIL everywhere just to get not-pathological behavior. And this isn't even just about py2/py3 interoperability. It's a problem for my py3-only project, which fails depending on how I invoke doctests. So it's not just something we can hack around until py2 goes away and be fine. Can't a separate option be added for just the module name and enabled by default? -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue22710 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue20298] json library needs a non-strict option to decode single-quoted strings
New submission from David Barnett:
Many sloppy JSON APIs return data with poorly-encoded strings, either with
single-quotes as delimiters:
{'foo': 'bar'}
or with no delimiters at all on keys:
{foo: 'bar'}
The json library is useless for making sense of this data, because all it will
tell you is No JSON object could be decoded.
It would be incredibly helpful if the json library had some special non-strict
decoding mode that could interpret these common misspellings of JSON strings.
Or, more generally, it could accept another decoder hook to reformat the
remaining string, something like:
def malformed_hook(remaining, parent):
if remaining.startswith('):
# We know this is a string, regex it to find the end.
m = re.match(pyparsing.quotedString.reString, remaining)
if m is not None:
# Use json.dumps to add quotes around string literal.
return json.dumps(eval(m.group(0))) + remaining[m.end():]
# If we're inside an object, this could be a naked object key.
if isinstance(parent, dict):
m = re.match(r'([a-zA-Z_]\w*):', remaining)
if m is not None:
return json.dumps(m.group(1)) + remaining[len(m.group(1)):]
print(json.loads(['foo', null, {a: 'b'}], malformed_hook=malformed_hook))
['foo', None, {'a': 'b'}]
This would at least save you having to write a parser/tokenizer from scratch.

[issue1065986] Fix pydoc crashing on unicode strings
David Barnett added the comment:
I guess it must be more complicated than it looks, because I thought checking
for unicode strings and doing .encode('utf-8') would help at least some cases
without making anything worse.
Anyways, if it's too hard or not worth fixing correctly, couldn't we at least
do something to prevent a crash? Maybe strip out / replace special characters
and try again?

[issue1065986] Fix pydoc crashing on unicode strings
David Barnett added the comment: I just ran into this, and I'd like to communicate how unfortunate it is that it's not a priority to fix this fairly trivial (?) bug. It means there's no way to define a unicode string literal with non-ascii characters that won't crash the builtin help() command. I ran into this with the desktop package (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/desktop) where the only useful documentation right now is the source code and the docstrings. Apparently the author, who has non-ascii characters in his name, did me a favor by using broken encoding on the doc string so that at least I could read everything except for his name in the help. I tried to correct the encoding and found I get a nice traceback instead of help. And to top it all off, googling for things like help unicode docstring and python help ascii codec turns up nothing. I only found this issue once I thought to include pipepager in the search... -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1065986 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue11638] python setup.py sdist crashes if version is unicode
David Barnett davidbarne...@gmail.com added the comment:
One way to fix the symptom (maybe not the correct way) would be to edit
tarfile._Stream._init_write_gz and change the line that reads
self.__write(self.name + NUL)
to something like
self.__write(self.name.encode('utf-8') + NUL)
tarfile is building up an encoded stream of bytes, and whatever self.name is it
needs to be encoded before being inserted into the stream. I'm not positive
UTF-8 is right, and maybe it should only convert if isinstance(self.name,
unicode).

[issue13170] distutils2 test failures
David Barnett davidbarne...@gmail.com added the comment: The remaining test (test_command_install_data.InstallDataTestCase.test_simple_run) was broken in r1152. This looks like a local revision number, which has no meaning outside of one specific repository. What is the changeset identifier? (see http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/a-tour-of-mercurial-the-basics.html#id345536) Oh, sorry, it's d1d251292ee7. (I got the short rev from the hg.python.org interface, so I thought it would be authoritative enough, but I guess it is ambiguous) importing shutil from the stdlib is broken in that file besides. I don’t understand this. When I do import shutil inside _backport/shutil.py, it seems to be importing itself (??) if I don't explicitly enable absolute imports (in python 2.7). If I delete the class Error definition and instead add from shutil import Error, I get an ImportError. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13170 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue13170] distutils2 test failures
David Barnett davidbarne...@gmail.com added the comment: The remaining test (test_command_install_data.InstallDataTestCase.test_simple_run) was broken in r1152. What's happening is that the type of exception being raised was changed and it's getting through the try/except block in install_data.run(). Instead of calling shutil.copyfile, the code in 1152 is calling distutils2._backport.shutil.copyfile, which instead of raising a shutil.Error instance raises a distutils2._backport.shutil.Error instance. Ideally, I think distutils2/_backport/shutil.py should do from shutil import Error instead of defining its own Error class, but I'm not sure if that's kosher for the way backports are supposed to work, and importing shutil from the stdlib is broken in that file besides. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13170 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
