You can use GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent to send Ctrl-C to all processes
that share the console of the calling process.

 BTW, I picked SIGALRM because I could do it all with one thread.  Reading
 POSIX, ISTM that if I sent the signal from another thread, it would bounce
 off that thread to the main thread during the call to kill(), at which
 point I got the willies.  OTOH, if kill() is more widely available than
 alarm(), I'll give it a try, but going by the docs, I'd say it isn't.

Indeed, alarm should be available on any POSIX system.

Re: [Python-Dev] Which version of distutils to ship with Python 2.5?

 Could this not simply use the Python version number directly, instead?

See the prior discussion at

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2005-January/004366.html

Some people still believe (at least, believed in January 2005), that
distutils is developed independently of Python, and thus deserves
its own version number.

Of course, Andrew Kuchling officially declared in r1982 of pep 291
that there won't be any further stand-alone distutils releases,
and therefore, backwards compatibility with 2.1 is not necessary
anymore.

So I changed distutils.__version__ again, to be derived from
sys.version_info.

I left the numerous comments still in distutils that compatibility
with 2.1 is desired. We should remove these after 2.5 is released
(or perhaps even before that).

that share the console of the calling process.

That looks like it would work, but it seems prone to overkill.  To avoid
killing all the processes running from a console, the test would need to be
run in a subprocess in a new process group.  If the test simply sends the
event to its own process, all the other processes in its process group
would receive the event as well, and probably die.  I would expect that all
the processes sharing the console would die, but even if they didn't when I
tried it, I couldn't be sure that it wouldn't happen elsewhere, say when
run from a .bat file.

Martin, your advice is usually spot-on, but I don't always understand it.
Maybe using it here is just complicated.  I expect that
GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent() can be called through the ctypes module, though
that would make backporting the test to 2.4 a bit more difficult.  It looks
like the subprocess module can be passed the needed creation flag to make a
new process group.  The subprocess can send the event to itself, and could
return the test result in its result code, so that part isn't so bad.  To
avoid adding a new file to the distribution, test_socket.test_main() could
be modified to look for a command line argument requesting the particular
test action.


 BTW, I picked SIGALRM because I could do it all with one thread.  Reading
 POSIX, ISTM that if I sent the signal from another thread, it would bounce

Well, if alarm() is available, then the test will work.  If not, it will be
silently skipped, as are some other tests already in test_socket.py.  I
can't offhand tell if MSWindows supports alarm(), but RiscOS and OS2 do not.

 I'm still working on Mailman but the most painful thing so far has  
 been the conversion of exceptions to new-style classes, and even  
 that wasn't /too/ painful.

I believe I've finished porting Mailman to Python 2.5.  None of the  
issues were insurmountable, but here they are FTR:

1) Exceptions are new-style classes but Mailman was doing one  
specific test against the type of an object to see if it needed to be  
instantiated.  This test was written as:

if isinstance(obj, ClassType)

which fails in Python 2.5.  I actually rewrote it like so:

if isinstance(obj, ClassType) or isinstance(obj, type(type))

in MM2.1 because it has to be backward compatible to Python 2.1.

2) There was one place where I was commonly raising a string and that  
generates deprecation warnings, so I changed that to a class.  There  
are a few other legacy string exceptions defined in the code, but  
they are rarely used and should all get rewritten as well.

3) Cookie.py's repr changed so that trailing semicolons are no longer  
output on the end of text lines.  I understand this change was made  
so that Python cookies were more RFC compliant, but it broke some  
homegrown cookie text splitting we were doing.  I changed this code  
to split on lines first.

All in all, not too bad although the Cookie.py change took a while to  
track down!

Nah, that's rather an entry to the obfuscated Python contest.
The two occurrences of type really mean to refer to the same
thing; this is the test whether obj _is a_ new-style class.

Normally, you would write isinstance(obj, type), but that gives
a TypeError in 2.1 (isinstance() arg 2 must be a class or type).
In 2.1, type(type) is FunctionType, so the test should
fail (in the context, as obj ought to be a string, an exception
object, or an exception type). In 2.2 and later, we have

 type(type) is type
1 # sometimes True instead

I think I would have rewritten as

try:
  # Instantiate it if possible and necessary
  exc = exc()
except AttributeError: # no __call__; it's already an object
  pass

(assuming that the mailman exceptions don't have __call__) or as

if not isinstance(exc, Exception):
   exc = exc()

(assuming that string exceptions are gone, but the code below
 already assumes that exc should be an object that supports
 exc.reason_notice())

A Process Group ID is the PID of the first process put in it, so it's sort
of a PID.  It just means a collection of processes, probably more than one.
It seems to be mostly applicable to MSWindows, and isn't a suitable way to
implement a form of kill(2).

I hope that the Socket Timeouts patch 1519025 can make it into 2.5, or
2.5.1, as it is a bug fix.  As such, it would probably be better to punt
the test on MSWindows than to do a tricky fancy test that might have its

The .NET SDK (any version) is not suitable to build Python.

I do see the warning in the instructions about it not be an optimizing
compiler.  I've managed to build python.exe and the rt.bat tests mostly
work -- 2 tests fail, test_popen, and test_cmd_line because of popen()
failing.

Hmm, actually, this might be a real problem with the MSWindows version of
posix_popen() in Modules/posixmodule.c.  The path to my built python.exe is:

E:\Documents and Settings\Tony Nelson\My 
Documents\Python\pydev\trunk\PCBuild\python.exe

(lots of spaces in it).  It seems properly quoted in the test and when I do
it by hand, but in a call to popen() it doesn't work:

popen('E:\Documents and Settings\Tony Nelson\My 
Documents\Python\pydev\trunk\PCBuild\python.exe -c import 
sys;sys.version_info')

The returned file object repr resembles one that does work.  If I just use
python.exe from within the PCBuild directory:

popen('python.exe -c import sys;sys.version_info')

I get the right version, and that's the only 2.5b2 python I've got, so the
built python must be working, but the path, even quoted, isn't accepted by
MSWindows XP SP2.  Should I report a bug?  It may well just be MSWindows
weirdness, and not something that posixmodule.c can do anything about. 
OTOH, it does work from the command line.  I'll bet I wouldn't have seen a
thing if I'd checked out to E:\pydev instead.

You really need VS 2003; if you don't have it anymore, you might be able
to find a copy of the free version of the VC Toolkit 2003

I really never had VS 2003.  It doesn't appear to be on microsoft.com
anymore.  I'm reluctant to try to steal a copy.


Of course, just for testing, you can also install VS Express 2005, and

Ehh, I must admit that I retyped that.  Obviously what I typed would not
work, but what I used was:

python = '' + sys.executable + ''
popen(python + ' -c import sys;sys.version_info'

So there wasn't a problem with backslashes.  I've also been using raw
strings.  And, as I said, the file objects looked OK, with backslashes
where they should be.  Sorry for the mistyping.

OK, I recognize the bug now.  It's that quote parsing bug in MSWindows
(which I can find again if you want) which can be worked around by using an
extra quote at the front (and maybe also the back):

popen('E:\Documents ...

Not really a bug in Python at all.
