[issue22107] tempfile module misinterprets access denied error on Windows

2015-02-17 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole added the comment:

It doesn't actually do anything, so why do it at all?  In order to distinguish 
why it failed, you might try checking if the file actually exists, and if it is 
a folder.

[issue22107] tempfile module misinterprets access denied error on Windows

2015-02-16 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole added the comment:

os.access doesn't check filesystem permissions, so the patch will not catch the 
condition that creates the problem.

[issue22107] tempfile module misinterprets access denied error on Windows

2014-07-30 Thread Roger Upole

New submission from Roger Upole:

_mkstemp_inner assumes that an access denied error means that it
has generated a filename that matches an existing foldername.
However, in the case of a folder for which you don't have permissions to
create a file, this means it will loop thru the maximum possible number of 
files.
This causes it to hang for several seconds and eventually return a bogus
FileExistsError.

Similar behaviour exists in 2.7.7, but it throws an IOError instead.

http://bugs.python.org/issue18849 seems to be where this was introduced.

[issue10181] get_shape0 in memoryobject.c not checked for error return

2010-11-03 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole  added the comment:

While on the subject, the docs for PyMemoryView_FromBuffer state that the 
resulting memoryview takes ownership of the Py_buffer struct and is responsible 
for freeing any associated memory.  It does not do so, which is not surprising. 
 The absence of a standard for allocation makes it absolutely impossible for it 
to do so safely.

[issue3605] Py_FatalError causes infinite loop

2010-11-02 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole  added the comment:

I know this has been closed, but I disagree with the fix. Py_FatalError is 
designed to give a clean exit with a readable error message when the state of 
the interpreter is known to be compromised.  Calling *any* python functions or 
accessing *any* python internals is only likely to lead to more issues that 
obscure the original problems.  IMO the PyErr_Occurred needs to be removed 
entirely.

[issue10181] get_shape0 in memoryobject.c not checked for error return

2010-11-02 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole  added the comment:

The culprit wrt copying Py_buffer structs seems mainly to be dup_buffer, which 
is called in memory_getbuf.  This seems unnecessary in the case where there's 
an underlying object and it has returned the view thru its own tp_as_buffer.  
The underlying object at that point is solely responsible for releasing the 
buffer, so memory_getbuf shouldn't mess with it at all.  In the case where 
there is no underlying object (mainly thru PyMemoryView_FromBuffer), it 
probably should allocate any memory in the view in such a way that it can be 
freed in memory_releasebuf when the view->obj is NULL.

[issue10181] get_shape0 in memoryobject.c not checked for error return

2010-10-23 Thread Roger Upole

There are a number of places in memoryobject.c where get_shape0 is used without 
the return value being checked.  If it fails, this leads to hanging exceptions

[issue3946] PyObject_CheckReadBuffer crashes on memoryview object

2008-09-23 Thread Roger Upole

New submission from Roger Upole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Sample code:
PyObject *b=PyBytes_FromString("eh ?");
PyObject *mv=PyMemoryView_FromObject(b);
PyObject_CheckReadBuffer(mv);

>From following the chain of calls in PyObject_CheckReadBuffer,
a few things are unclear.

It calls bf_getbuffer with a NULL Py_Buffer pointer, although the PEP
explicitely states that is should never be NULL.

PyBuffer_FillInfo immediately returns success if the view pointer is
NULL.  I'm guessing this is to just determine if the operation could be
completed, but it returns before any checks are done.

It then attempts to release a hardcoded NULL Py_buffer pointer
which of course crashes.

New submission from Roger Upole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

When using PyMemoryView_FromMemory to create a new object, you have to
pass in a preallocated buffer.  However, there's no way to specify a
routine to free the memory, and it leaks when the object is destroyed.

2008-08-19 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Well, you asked for a simple case.  In practice, I'm dealing with
much more complicated code that contains callbacks which may need
to acquire or release the theadlock.  This problem makes it very 
difficult to debug such code.

Also, the PyErr_Occurred is not present in 2.5.2, probably
for this very same reason.

[issue3453] PyType_Ready doesn't ensure that all bases are ready

2008-08-19 Thread Roger Upole

Roger Upole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

This doesn't address the discrepancy between tp_base and tp_bases.
If multiple bases are used, it's no longer 'good practice', it's an
absolute requirement.  IMO, it should call PyType_Ready for all bases, 
or none of them.

Since the code assumes that all bases have been
initialized, it could at least ASSERT so, rather than crashing deep
within the mro calculations.

Py_FatalError calls PyErr_Occurred() which requires a current thread

Py_FatalError is triggered again, ad infinitum.

[issue3537] dict creation failure causes crash

2008-08-10 Thread Roger Upole

New submission from Roger Upole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If the first item can't be inserted the interpreter will crash 
eventually.

while 1:
try:
d = { 'a':a,
  'b':'b',
  'c':'c',
  'd':'d',
  'e':'e',
  'f':'f',
  'g':'g',
  'h':'h',
  'i':'i',
  'j':'j',
  'k':'k',
  'l':'l',
  'm':'m',
  'n':'n',
  'o':'o'
  }
except:
pass

As best I can tell, this only happens for the first item.
In a debug build, this assert fails on the second time thru
the loop (dictobject.c, line 247):
assert (mp->ma_table == mp->ma_smalltable);

Apparently something is leaving one of the entries in the list
of preallocated dict objects in an inconsistent state.

If that were the case, it wouldn't need to call PyType_Ready for
