[issue13631] readline fails to parse some forms of .editrc under editline (libedit) emulation on Mac OS X
New submission from Zvezdan Petkovic : Problem === The changes in r87356 for py3k and r87358 for python-2.7 described in issue 9907 have broken parsing of the initialization file .editrc under editline emulation of readline on Mac OS X. Background == Both readline and editline allow settings customized per program. For example, .inputrc file for readline:: $if Python set editing-mode vi $endif will be applied only to Python processes. Similarly, .editrc file for editline:: python:bind -v python:bind ^I rl_complete will be applied only to Python processes on Mac OS X. This works fine on python-2.6. It's broken on 2.7 and 3.2 and later because the change in issue 9907 moved the rl_initialize() call towards the beginning of the setup function. Solution The rl_readline_name variable must be set to "python" **before** the call to rl_initialize(). Attached are patches for 2.7 and 3.2. -- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh files: readline-2.7.patch keywords: patch messages: 149813 nosy: ronaldoussoren, zvezdan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: readline fails to parse some forms of .editrc under editline (libedit) emulation on Mac OS X type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file24043/readline-2.7.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue13631> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6877] enable compilation of readline module on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment: Ronald, > That bit is not in the trunk, should it be forward ported to the trunk? Yes, that should be applied to trunk and 3.x to make it work on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I indicated that in msg98979. The explanation why that part is needed is given in msg98978 and msg98913. That ultimately points to re-declaration of completion_matches() inserted in a patch in issue4204 (see my comments in the last two messages there). We must *avoid* the duplicate declaration on Mac OS X, because the same declaration is already in /usr/include/readline/readline.h. Hence #if !defined(__APPLE__) is used. So, the readline-libedit-trunk.patch I attached yesterday should be applied to trunk (2.7) and 3.x. > As that's not a critical change I've committed the fix1 patch as is in r78096. It seems that you forgot to svn add Lib/test/test_readline.py before committing. If you run svn status on that checkout I bet it will show with '?' in the left column. P.S. FWIW, you are right about #include . I removed it from the patch yesterday (notice attachment, removal, and a new attachment in the history). -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6877> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment: Barry, I'm sorry, I only now noticed this line in your compilation on 10.5: /Users/barry/projects/python/python26/Modules/readline.c:41: error: conflicting types for 'completion_matches' This problem was introduced by a patch in issue4204. See my comments in msg82619 and msg92482. They've been ignored because the issue was closed, and I did not have a right to reopen it. Please notice that my original patch attached here (readline-trunk.patch) has this part in it, which is very important for 10.5: @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ /* Standard definitions */ #include "Python.h" +#include #include #include #include Ronald has omitted that part when he was changing the patch and I completely forgot about its importance since I'm running 10.6 and did not have problems. Initially my first version of the patch was checking for __APPLE__ and avoided to re-define completion_matches on lines 35-36. I used that patch when 2.6.1 came out in my personal builds. Then I found out that including stdlib early avoided the problem. I really do not have a 10.5 machine to test on now. Can you please try inserting that include and see if 10.5 builds readline? If yes, I'd be glad to make a new patch against 2.6 branch and trunk/3.x branch (probably need the same include line). If not, then we need to make a choice of #ifdef __FreeBSD__ as I suggested in issue4204, or #ifndef __APPLE__ as I used in my first personal version of the patch. The problem with re-definition of completion_matches did not exist in 2.4 and 2.5 and is definitely introduced by a patch in issue 4204, which annoyed me because it broke a modern OS to support a very old version of FreeBSD (4.x). :-) That said, I still think that configure.in should not treat 10.5 as 10.3 because Leopard was a big change to the UNIX 2003 specification and too many things are different between 10.3/10.4 and 10.5/10.6. We had a discussion on pythonmac-sig about it and people mostly agreed but I do not remember if any issue was opened in the tracker to act on it or not. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6877> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue6877] enable compilation of readline module on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment: Brett, IMO, your backtrace only implies that readline module was built believing it has libedit (i.e., include files were system ones from /usr/include). However, the following scenario is possible. Some packaging tools choose to divide library packages into a runtime part and a development part. If you had a copy of readline that was a runtime part only, it would have /usr/local/lib/* files but not /usr/local/include/* files (development part would have them). Because of the way setup.py stashes /usr/local/lib first in the path, the build could have used system /usr/include/* file and linked to your local copy of readline library. This is just a wild guess of course. That's why I was interested in the output of otool command on your build of readline module. That would tell us what it was linked to. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6877> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment: The patch `readline-libedit.patch` has the following problems: - a typo causing an undefined variable error; - a missing "#endif"; - it doesn't refer to the new __APPLE__ specific doc string anywhere. It fails to compile `readline.c`. :: Modules/readline.c:1073: error: ‘using_libedit_emultation’ undeclared (first use in this function) Modules/readline.c:1059:1: error: unterminated #ifdef The fixed patch is attached as `readline-libedit-2.patch` above. Please review it. There are also a few minor stylistic nits I took a liberty to fix. In readline.c = Line 496 Formatted a block comment to a usual C style (used by other comments it the patch, FWIW). Line 505 The standard style in C (and C-like) languages is to *not* write a space between a variable and a unary operator (e.g., "C++"). Changed it to:: idx--; Lines 1085/86 Removed two unnecessary empty lines added by the first patch. There's already one empty line in the original code to space an if statement from the next line. Line 1070 Line was longer than 79 characters (violates PEP-7). Reformatted. In setup.py === Line 561 A comment block was indented in the first patch and had lines longer than 79 characters (violates PEP-8). I refactored the code to avoid repeating the same else statement twice. This obviated the need to indent the said comment block. *Please review whether you agree with the refactoring* Just out of curiosity: does anyone know why the first if statement that tests for 'darwin' uses ``platform`` and the second one uses ``sys.platform``? Couldn't we use ``platform`` in both of them? -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file14899/readline-libedit-2.patch ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6877> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment:
> It would also be nice if one could programmaticly detect if readline
> is linked to libedit
There's this rl_library_version constant defined in editline/readline C
libraries that the attached patch uses.
Perhaps, if we can expose its value from the Python readline module, one
could check whether the value startswith("EditLine wrapper") in ipython
and similar programs.
Regarding your comment about editline being broken on Leopard: The
patch worked just fine for me and other people who used it in my
company. We used line editing and history in interactive interpreter
with both Python 2.4 and Python 2.6 on Leopard.
One person used it with Python 2.4 and ipython. He did not have a
readline functionality until he compiled with the patch. After applying
the patch the line editing, history and TAB completion worked for him in
ipython. He's now running Snow Leopard so we couldn't check one more
time.
Perhaps you meant it was broken on Tiger (10.4; Darwin 8).

AFAICT, it works the same now on Snow Leopard. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6872> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6872] Support system readline on OS X 10.6
Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment: This patch could potentially break non-Mac OS X systems. Fortunately, I have a patch that works with systems that use GNU readline and systems that use editline emulation. See issue 6877. Unfortunately, I was lingering for over a year with opening a tracker issue for it. Last night I did the last testing session with the trunk checkout and I did not notice that this issue has been opened in the meantime. Sorry for opening the double issue. I think that the patch from issue 6877 should be used. -- nosy: +zvezdan ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue6872> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue6877] enable compilation of readline module on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment:
When testing the patch make sure that your readline module has been
actually linked against editline library rather then some copy of GNU
readline from MacPorts or Fink.
Assuming --prefix=${HOME}/opt, the output of
otool -L ~/opt/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/readline.so
should contain /usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib.

[issue6877] enable compilation of readline module on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6

[issue6877] enable compilation of readline module on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
New submission from Zvezdan Petkovic :
The attached patch enables compilation and use of the readline module on
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
It utilizes the native editline library (used for emulation of the
readline library on Mac).
I used the patch for almost two years already with Python 2.4 and since
December 2008 with Python 2.6. The only difference is that Python 2.4
did not need the setup.py changes.
The patch is written in such a way that it does *not* affect the
compilation on systems that use GNU readline library (e.g., Linux).
However, I don't have access to any other system that uses editline
emulation of readline library besides Mac. I believe it should work the
same but some testing would be welcome if anyone is aware of such a
system (NetBSD?).
With the readline module compiled in, it is enough to put in .editrc
python:bind -v
and one gets a vi emulation in the python interactive interpreter.
You can also try it directly from the shell:
>>> import readline
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("bind -v")
>>> # use editing features to change the lines above to
>>> import rlcompleter
>>> readline.parse_and_bind("bind ^I rl_complete")
>>> # now TAB offers the completions
It would be nice if we could get this included into Python-2.6.3
release.

[issue4204] Cannot build _multiprocessing, math, mmap and readline of Python 2.6 on FreeBSD 4.11 w/ gcc 2.95.4
Zvezdan Petkovic added the comment: Part of this patch committed in -r 67098 breaks Mac OS X 10.5, because the completion_matches() function is already declared in /usr/include/readline/readline.h and the new declaration conflicts with it. If the lack of this declaration is a problem for FreeBSD, then it will have to be conditionally declared for FreeBSD platform, and perhaps specific version of FreeBSD 4.x. Something along the lines of: #ifdef __FreeBSD__ /* perhaps a specific FreeBSD version condition here 4.x? */ extern char **completion_matches(char *, CPFunction *); #endif I have a patch of an off-by-one out-of-bounds error in readline.c, that enables building Python with Mac OS X native readline/editline emulation. There's no need for an external GNU readline port installation (unless one wants some features that editline perhaps doesn't have). That patch worked fine with Python 2.4 ad 2.5, but when I tried it with Python 2.6.1 the build failed because of the conflicting declaration introduced with this tracker issue. When the line extern char **completion_matches(char *, CPFunction *); is commented out, the readline module compiles and works OK. (Well, line 558 in setup.py needs to be uncommented to look like this: if platform == 'darwin' and os.uname()[2] < '9.': to allow the use of Mac OS X readline/editline library) I can submit the readline.c patch for Mac OS X in a separate tracker issue, but the changes done in this issue should be fixed separately in my opinion. Please advise how to proceed. -- nosy: +zvezdan ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue4204> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
