[issue25851] installing 3.5 on windows server 2003 x86 R2 Standard Edition Sp2 ENU,

2015-12-12 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

Another one in to webmaster.

Somebody tried to install 3.5 on his windows server 2003 x86 R2 Standard 
Edition Sp2 ENU, and was told that Vista or later is required.

Is this correct behaviour, or did we forget about such people?  Near as
I can tell some of them can still be on their very last gasp of 
being supported by Microsoft.

[issue25842] Installer does not set permissions correctly?

2015-12-11 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

This in from python-list.  2 complaints.  
conflict with a notepad++ plugin and incorrect permissions.

Subject: python 351x64


Hi

I was trying to use your windows version of python 3.5.1 x64.

It has a conflict with a notepad++ plugin NppFTP giving api-ms-win-crt-runtime-
I1-1-0.dll error on start up.

This seems pretty well documented on the web. The work around is to delete the 
plugin and reinstall since it borks the install.

Since about every other admin I've ever known uses notepad++, you might want to
 fix this.

Also your installer fails to set the permissions correctly:

H:\>py -m pip install requests

Once I gave myself control it started working.

This is pretty shoddy for released software.

[issue25788] fileinput.hook_encoded has no way to pass arguments to codecs

2015-12-03 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

Right now there is no way, aside from writing your own openhook, to
get around the limitation that openhook=fileinput.hook_encoded("utf")
will open things with the default option for codecs.open()
of errors=strict.  Adding a way to pass the errors argument seems
both easy to do and useful.

[issue25741] Usual Installation Directory

2015-11-27 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

I don't know the answer, but from the point of view of a webmaster who
gets support requests and doesn't have a windows system, it would be
very useful to already know where a person's python is supposed to
be, and thus good if the documentation said something along the
lines of:

If the user does not specify %LOCALAPPDATA% then it defaults to
 

assuming there is such a default, of course.

[issue25585] Bad path leads to: ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

2015-11-08 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

Somebody reported this today:

File "C:/Python27/kivyhello.py", line 4, in 
 from kivy.app import App
   File "C:/Python27\kivy\app.py", line 316, in 
 from kivy.base import runTouchApp, stopTouchApp
   File "C:/Python27\kivy\base.py", line 30, in 
 from kivy.event import EventDispatcher
   File "C:/Python27\kivy\event.py", line 8, in 
 import kivy._event
 ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.



The problem was that they needed to set their PATH properly so kivy could be 
found.

Couldn't we generate a more informative error message here?
Is the %1 even correct?

[issue25522] IDLE: warn if save-as name matches stdlib name

2015-11-01 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

I'm not sure about "Neither you nor Python will be able to import 
the stdlib."  Depending on what the file is, you may be able to import
it later.  I'd prefer:

"If you run Python in this directory, your version of 
will be used instead of the one in the standard library.  This may cause Idle 
to behave strangely, or possibly not run at all."

Re: misunderstanding

Sorry Terry.  From my end the great 4 day "weekend of mail.python.org needs to 
be rebuilt from scratch" happened precisely as I was about
to reply to your post.  The reply to Peter Otten showed up later 
as part of my mailer agent trying to send the thing every 4 hours for

Note that the full path name of the file that is doing the shadow
is of important interest to teachers.  We get machines will all sorts of 
garbage written on them -- the amount of hell caused by a misnamed turtle.py is 
hard to measure -- and anything as helps in the finding of the file as needs

[issue25361] Is python-3-5-0.exe compiled with SSE2 instrutions? If so should we mention this?

2015-10-11 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

Another 2 bits of data:

I now know of 2 separate users from a Swedish teenager mailing list, whose 
machines (in each case 'my father's old laptop') didn't have SSE2.  One youth 
was running XP but spent today successfully migrating to windows 7 with help 
from her father.  The other was already running windows 7.

Neither of them had ever used Python before.  They are now running 
3.4.

checking, these kids are using computers where, at some point, somebody moved

But what should I tell them to do to get 3.5 there instead?

Laura Creighton added the comment:

On thinking things over, I think that venv is, as it stands now,

If you want to build a virtualenv for python 2.7, then I think
venv is not for you.

I think this needs to be mentioned.

[issue25151] venv does not work with debian releases, if you want to install pip

2015-09-17 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

I am reporting this here so that the next person who runs into this and looks 
into the bug tracker will find out what to do.

You cannot create a venv with Python3.3, 3.4, 3.5. on debian (and likely
on many debian-derived distros). 

 Instead you get Error: Command '['/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 
'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 
1

Debian knows all about this, but they don't want to make changes.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732703

Instead, if you want venv to work you will need to install the debian packages 
python3-venv (for 3.4) and python3.5-venv for 3.5.

Can somebody close this issue now, as this is clearly a debian issue and not a 
Python bug.  I am just reporting it here so that somebody else who has the 
problem can find out what to do.

[issue25152] venv documentation doesn't tell you how to specify a particular version of python

2015-09-17 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html nowhere explicitly states
how you are supposed to get a venv with a particular python version.
Users of virtualenv will be looking for a -p option.

The doc says:

"Creation of virtual environments is done by executing the pyvenv script:"

which undoubtably works if you _have_ a pyenv script, but I don't have
one.  It is nowhere stated where I should find one.

Fortunately, I can also run things as

some_python_version -m venv myvenv 

This, everybody is able to do.  (However, it may not work, see
issue 25151 --  but forget that for now.)

This is something that everybody ought to be able to do.
Thus I propose either deleting the mention of pyenv, (if it is exactly
equivalent to running python -m venv)  or expanding
the section, indicating where the script lives, and why you might
want to run it instead of python -m venv.

Then, before the line:
The command, if run with -h, will show the available options:

add the line:

The version of python used in the venv is determined at this time.
If the default version of python is not the one desired, use:

/path/to/the/python/I/want -m venv  myenv instead.

(Plus, if there is a way to do this with pyenv, then list that
part here).

[issue25152] venv documentation doesn't tell you how to specify a particular version of python

2015-09-17 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

The problem is that people who run into venv will think that it is
virtualenv made into part of the standard library.  Thus they
will have a great expectation that there will be a -p option to
specify the python version that they want and that they can get 2.7.

As Josh Billings (American humourist) wrote:
"It ain't ignorance causes so much trouble; it's folks knowing so much that 
ain't so."

A 'this is not virtualenv' message would be useful.

[issue25154] Drop the pyvenv script

2015-09-17 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

Due to debian policy decision
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732703

neither pyenv nor python -m venv 

may work for you.

While things are getting changed, it would be good if people running into
this problem got a better error message than:

  Error: Command '['/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', 
'--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1

such as 'Your python may not be configured with ensure-pip'

I'd like to change python -m venv  (and pyenv) to say something more useful than
Command '['/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', 
'--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 
1

if it cannot find the ensurepip module.

[issue19771] runpy should check ImportError.name before wrapping it

2015-08-07 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

I tried to run some tests from  the python3.4 test suite and got:
python3 -m test -ugui test_tk test_ttk_guionly test_idle
/usr/bin/python3: Error while finding spec for 'test.__main__' (class 
'ImportError': bad magic number in 'test': b'\x03\xf3\r\n'); 'test' is a 
package and cannot be directly executed

The actual problem has nothing to do with test being a package.  It
had to do with finding a python2 pyc and trying to run that.  It would be nice 
if the patch checked for this problem as well before concluding that somebody 
just tried to execute a package.

Another report from webmaster.  (I still don't have a windows machine).  
Somebody tried to install 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 and got this error.  I asked
them to try the Activestate installer.  That worked.  Thus Activestate
knows to include something that users sometimes don't have, which we
do not. We probably should analyse this and include what we are missing.

This came in to webmaster, i.e. I don't have the machine with the
problem and cannot test it.  Two different people reported the
same thing.  One of them was able to get things working by running as Admin. 
The other was not.  He was able to get things working by
running in compatibility mode.  When he reached that error, he got
a popup, and the popup asked if he wanted to troubleshoot.  He said
yes.  Then things silently ran, the installation suceeded and nothing
was mentioned that needed troubleshooting.

Thought you would like to know.

[issue24310] Idle documentation -- what to do if you do not see an underscore.

2015-05-27 Thread Laura Creighton

New submission from Laura Creighton:

On some operating systems, for instance a Macbook Pro with Retina, the
bottoms of hanging letters such as 'g' or 'y', as well as underscorces, cannot 
be seen in IDLE.  The fix is to go to Options - Configure IDLE, and change the 
size of the default font to 9 or 11. 

Can we add this line to 25.5.5.2. and 24.6.5.2. ?  It is not obvious, 
especially to the newbie who is trying to write their first python program that 
the inability to type underscores is a font problem.

I don't have one, alas.  It was a question sent to webmaster.  I just
happened to know that reconfiguring your font size fixes the 'no

[issue23476] SSL cert verify fail for www.verisign.com

2015-02-24 Thread Laura Creighton

Laura Creighton added the comment:

Antione closed this, as a not python error, as
if you do not pass a valid certificate to openssl s_client
it will not read the system certificates, which is clearly
utterly surprising and nuts.

The problem, as I see it, is that fixing this clear
absurdity may not fix a different underlying problem.  So this
one may need reopening  when the real error us revealed.  
See if John Nagel's code works ...
