No, I'm really trying to point out that models based on Digital Logic
vs. models based on Symbolic Logic are completely different -- they
have different basiis.  They are both types of Maths, and that you
can interchange them as a demonstration doesn't actually help the
practical issue of keeping the two domains separate -- they have
differing logics.  It's like the domain of Natural numbers vs. the
Complex, or perhaps the Natural and the Real.  Yes you can translate
back and forth, but they are for all practical purposes distinct and
can't be mixed.

 All I need to do is show that my model reduces to some basic physical
 implementation (with perhaps some allowances for infinity) and then I can
 promptly forget about that messy business and proceed to use my clean
 mathematical model.

If that's all you want to do, you can stick with Boolean Logic.

 The reason any model of computation exists is that it is easier to think
 about a problem in some terms than in others.  By showing how to transform
 one model to another you make it possible to choose exactly how you wish to
 solve a problem.

Yes, and I'm attempting to provide an argument that the
(historically?) dominant model of symbolic calculus is misinforming
the practical domain of working out differences and arguments within
my own domain of the programming community.

Unfortunately, my inexperience with the literature is actually
betraying the validity of my point.

 The reason we do not work directly in what are called von Neumann machines
 is that they are not convenient for all kinds of problems.  However we can
 build a compiler to translate anything to anything else so we I don't see
 why anybody would care.

I'm trying to say that *I* care, because I can't seem to find the
common ground that affects 1000's of people in the applied C.S. domain
with the 1000's of people in the theoretical C.S. domain.

Re: [TYPES] The type/object distinction and possible synthesis of OOP and imperative programming languages

2013-04-20 Thread Mark Janssen
 I think there is some misunderstanding here.  Being mathematical in
 academic work is a way of making our ideas rigorous and precise, instead of
 trying to peddle wooly nonsense.

I'm sorry.  I am responsible for the misunderstanding.  I used the
word math when I really mean symbolic logic (which, historically,
was part of philosophy).  My point is that the field is confusing
because it seems to ignore binary logic in favor of symbolic logic.
Is binary logic not rigorous and precise enough?

In python even a class can be decorated. Also features of instances
can be added at run time from programs by different programmers
or even programs from machines by the code generation scheme
used in many CAD tools.

Nowadays the concept of a structure is not clear without

A list is a structure of non-homogeneous types of items  in LISP,

Re: unzipping a zipx file

pro.  The file extension is zipx.  This is on a windows machine where I have to 
send them all that files necessary to run.  I am packaging this with py2exe.  I 
can open the file with
zFile = zipfile.ZipFile(fullPathName,'r')
and I can look through all the file in the archive
for filename in zFile.namelist():
but when I write the file out with this code:
 ozFile = open(filename,'w')
 ozFile.write(zFile.read(filename))
 ozFile.close()
that file still looks encrypted.


AFAIK some archivers use zipx extension for zip files which contains 
files compressed with advanced compression methods (bzip2, lzma, etc). 
Python supports bzip2 and lzma compression in zip files since 3.3.



No errors are thrown.


Python 2.7 and 3.2 should raise an exception (this bug was fixed several 
months ago). 2.6 is too old and this fix was not backported to it.


 What am I missing?

Use Python 3.3 or at least 2.7.

You're not familiar with jmf? He's one of our resident trolls. Allow
me to summarize Python 3's Unicode support...

From 3.0 up to and including 3.2.x, Python could be built as either
narrow or wide. A wide build consumes four bytes per character in
every string, which is rather wasteful (given that very few strings
actually NEED that); a narrow build gets some things wrong. (I'm using
a 2.7 here as I don't have a narrow-build 3.x handy; the same
considerations apply, though.)

Python 2.7.4 (default, Apr  6 2013, 19:54:46) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type copyright, credits or license() for more information.
 len(uasdf\U00012345qwer)
10
 uasdf\U00012345qwer[8]
u'e'

In a narrow build, strings are stored in UTF-16, so astral characters
count as two. This means that a program will behave unexpectedly
differently on different platforms (other languages, such as
ECMAScript, actually *mandate* UTF-16; at least this means you can
depend on this otherwise-bizarre behaviour regardless of what platform
you're on), and I have to say this is counter-intuitive.

Enter Python 3.3 and PEP 393 strings. Now *EVERY* Python build is,
conceptually, wide. (I'm not sure how PEP 393 applies to other Pythons
- Jython, PyPy, etc - so assume that whenever I refer to Python, I'm
restricting this to CPython.) The underlying representation might be
more efficient, but to the script, it's exactly the same as a wide
build. If a string has no characters that demand more width, it'll be
stored nice and narrow. (It's the same technique that Pike has been
using for a while, so it's a proven system; in any case, we know that
this is going to work, it's just a question of performance - it adds a
fixed overhead.) Great! We save memory in Python programs. Wonderful!
Right?

Enter jmf. No, it's not wonderful, because OBVIOUSLY Python is now
America-centric, because now the full Unicode range is divided into
these ones get stored in 1 byte per char, these in 2, these in 4.
Clearly that's making life way worse for everyone else. Also, compared
to the narrow build that jmf was previously using, this uses heaps
MORE space in the stupid micro-benchmarks that he keeps on trotting
out, because he has just one astral character in a sea of ASCII. And
that's totally what programs are doing all the time, too. Never mind
that basic operations like length, slicing, etc are no longer buggy,
no, Python has taken a terrible step backwards here.

Oh, and check this out:

 def munge(s):
Move characters around in a string.
l=len(s)//4
return s[:l]+s[l*2:l*3]+s[l:l*2]+s[l*3:]

 munge(asdfqwerzxcv1234)
'asdfzxcvqwer1234'

Looks fine.

 munge(uasd\U00012345we\U00034567xc\U00023456bla)
u'asd\U00012167xc\U00023745we\U00034456bla'

Where'd those characters come from? I was just moving stuff around,
right? I can't get new characters out of it... can I?

Flash forward to current date, and jmf has hijacked so many threads to
moan about PEP 393 that I'm actually happy about this one, simply
because he gave it a new subject line and one appropriate to a
discussion about Unicode.

     if x.startswith(Starting a new group):
         global counter
         counter += 1
     return counter

 I get the output I desire, but I'm wondering if there is a solution
without the global counter.
 

Here's a solution that makes use of groupby (which is a good idea I think),
but avoids the counter (actually this is trivial; you just return the result
of startswith directly). It also provides you with the rest of the separator
line (you're using startswith in your code, so I figured you expect more on
these lines). I replaced the startswith() with slicing though as this is
usually faster.

def separate_on(iterable, separator):
sep_len=len(separator)
grouped_iter = (x[1] for x in groupby(iterable,
lambda line: line[:sep_len] == separator))
for separator_line in grouped_iter:
rest_of_separator_line = next(separator_line)[sep_len:].strip()
yield (rest_of_separator_line,
[s.strip() for s in next(grouped_iter)])

then

for sep_tail, group in separate_on(your_input,your_separator): 
do_what_ever()

Hope it's what you want,
Wolfgang

This makes no sense. What's the CSV next method? Are you talking about 
the csv module? It has no next method.

py import csv

Please *define your terms*, otherwise we are flailing in the dark trying 
to guess what your code is supposed to do. The code you provide cannot 
possible work -- you use variables before they are defined, use other 
variables that are never defined at all, reference mysterious globals. 
You even close a file before it is opened!

Please read this:

http://sscce.org/

and provide a *short, self-contained, correct example* that we can 
actually run.

But in the meantime, I'm going to consult the entrails and try to guess 
what you are doing: you're complaining that iterators have a next method 
in Python 2, and __next__ in Python 3. Am I correct?

If so, this is true, but you should not be using the plain next method in 
Python 2. You should be using the built-in function next(), not calling 
the method directly. The plain next *method* was a mistake, only left in 
for compatibility with older versions of Python. Starting from Python 2.6 
the correct way to get the next value from an arbitrary iterator is with 
the built-in function next(), not by calling a method directly.

(In the same way that you get the length of a sequence by calling the 
built-in function len(), not by calling the __len__ method directly.)

So provided you are using Python 2.6 or better, you call:

next(inData)

to get the next value, regardless of whether it is Python 2.x or 3.x.

If you need to support older versions, you can do this:

try:
next  # Does the built-in already exist?
except NameError:
# No, we define our own.
def next(iterator):
return iterator.next()

then just use next(inData) as normal.

 This makes no sense. What's the CSV next method? Are you talking
 about the csv module? It has no next method.

In 2.x, the csv.reader() class (and csv.DictReader() class) offered
a .next() method that is absent in 3.x  For those who use(d) the
csv.reader object on a regular basis, this was a pretty common
usage.  Particularly if you had to do your own header parsing:

  f = open(...)
  r = csv.reader(f)
  try:
headers = r.next()
header_map = analyze(headers)
for row in r:
  foo = row[header_map[FOO COLUMN]]
  process(foo)
  finally:
f.close()

(I did this for a number of cases where the client couldn't
consistently send column-headers in a consistent
capitalization/spaces, so my header-making function had to normalize
the case/spaces and then reference the normalized names)

 So provided you are using Python 2.6 or better, you call:
 
 next(inData)
 
 to get the next value, regardless of whether it is Python 2.x or
 3.x.
 
 If you need to support older versions, you can do this:

 # No, we define our own.

This is a good expansion of Chris Rebert's suggestion to use next(),
as those of us that have to support pre-2.6 code lack the next()
function out of the box.

jmf recommends UTF-8.

Apart from the fact the UTF-8 would be less (time) performant in all
cases and more extremely so in cases like indexing, the fact that jmf
says so makes it more ridiculous.
According to jmf python sucks up to ASCII (those big bad Americans… of
whom Steven is the first…) whereas unicode is the true international/
universal standard.

I guess the irony is clear to all (except jmf) given that:
- its unicode that sucks up to ASCII by carefully conforming in the
first 127 positions including the completely useless control chars;
python just implements the standard
- UTF-8 is an ASCII-biased unicode-compression method viz UTF-8 is
most space-efficient on ASCII at the cost of being generally time-
inefficient
- All jmf's beefs (as far as I remember) are variations on the theme:
time-inefficiency is equivalent to non-unicode-compliant

In short he manifests a dog-in-the-manger mindset:
Since the whole world will never speak french (grief, mope, grumble,
thrash…) everyone should pay for the Chinese character set's size even
if they are monolingually English

All that said…

I believe that the recent correction in unicode performance followed
jmf's grumbles
(Mark please correct me if I am wrong)
So python community can be thankful to jmf even if he insists on
laboring under bizarre political hallucinations.

[issue17800] Expose __del__ when tp_del is populated from C code

2013-04-20 Thread Nick Coghlan

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

This came up in issue 17468: currently, populating tp_del from C (as generators 
now do) doesn't automatically create a __del__ wrapper visible from Python.

The rationale given in the initial commit is that there's no need to define a 
wrapper, since tp_del won't be populated from C code (that will use tp_dealloc 
instead), but there's now at least one case where it *is* populated from C 
(generators), which means it behaves *as if* __del__ is defined (since the 
interpreter actually checks the tp_del slot), but *looks* like __del__ *isn't* 
defined (since there is no wrapper created).

Independent of the memory leak concerns with generators defining tp_del, it 
would be better if a wrapper function was defined so the existence of the 
method was at least visible from Python code.

[issue17468] Generator memory leak

2013-04-20 Thread Antoine Pitrou

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

 I wonder if it would be better to reword the garbage collection docs
 to mention that Python can't collect objects if they are part of a
 reference cycle, and some of the objects in the reference cycle need
 to run code at gc time. Then mention that such objects include objects
 with __del__ and also generators if they do have some other blocks
 than loops in them (for example try or with blocks).
 
 To me it seems this issue could be mitigated somewhat by collecting
 the objects if there is just one object with finalizer code in the
 cycle. It should be safe to run the single finalizer, then collect the
 whole cycle, right?

This is tricky because it relies on the fact that the object with
finalizer will be collected before any objects the finalizer relies on.
For a generator, this means it has to be finalized before its frame
object is cleared (otherwise, the finally block can't execute
correctly).

However, the GC doesn't collect those objects directly. It calls
tp_clear on each of them, hoping that tp_clear will break the reference
cycle (and at the same time collect some of the objects in the cycle).
But it's difficult to influence which objects are collected first. 

In gcgen.py's case, the reference cycle is comprised of the MyObj
instance, the generator, and the generator's frame:

  `self` (MyObj) - generator - frame - `self` (MyObj)

So if `self` is collected first, it will collect the generator before
the frame, and the generator's finally block can execute fine.

But if the frame is collected first, it will clear itself and it will be
too late for the generator's finally block to execute.

And if the generator is collected first... well, it can't, as it doesn't
have a tp_clear slot; but if it had, that would clear the frame and make
the finally block uncallable. One might argue that a generator's
tp_clear should call the finally block *before* clearing the frame.

[issue17468] Generator memory leak

2013-04-20 Thread Anssi Kääriäinen

Anssi Kääriäinen added the comment:

I was imagining that the collection should happen in two passes. First check 
for tp_dels and call them if safe (single tp_del in cycle allowed). Then free 
the memory. The first pass is already there, it just doesn't collect callable 
tp_dels.

If it would be possible to turn an object into inaccessible state after tp_del 
was called it would be possible to call multiple tp_dels in a cycle. If the del 
tries to use already deleted object you will get some sort of runtime exception 
indicating access of already collected object (another option is to allow 
access to object which has already had __del__ called, but that seems 
problematic).

Now, both of the above are likely way more complicated to implement than what I 
imagine. I have very little knowledge of the technical details involved.

If I understand correctly your idea was to do something similar to above, but 
only for generators.

The current situation is somewhat ugly. First, I can imagine people wishing to 
do try-finally or something with self.lock: in a generator. These will leak 
in circular reference cases. The generator case is surprising, so surprising 
that even experienced programmers will do such mistakes (see the django ticket 
for one example). Second, from application programmers perspective the fact 
that __del__ wasn't called is usually similar to having a silent failure in 
their code - for example this can result in leaking database connections or 
other resources, not to mention possible problems if one has a with 
self.lock: block in a generator.

R. David Murray added the comment:

Thanks for working on this, Demian.  I made some review comments, mostly style 
things about the tests.

There's one substantial comment about the change in behaivor of the full_url 
property though (before patch it does not include the fragment, after the patch 
it does).  We need to think about the implications of that change in terms of 
backward compatibility.  It makes more sense, but how likely is it to break 
working code?

Vinay Sajip added the comment:

I've attached an alternative patch. The default socktype stays as 
socket.SOCK_DGRAM, but you can specify socktype=None to get the SOCK_DGRAM 
falling back to SOCK_STREAM behaviour.

Can you confirm that this alternative approach works in your environment? (This 
patch is against the default branch.)

[issue17468] Generator memory leak

2013-04-20 Thread Benjamin Peterson

Benjamin Peterson added the comment:

In a sense, doing something like with self.lock in a generator is already a 
leak. Even if there wasn't a cycle, collection could be arbitrarily delayed (in 
partincular on non-CPython VMs). I wonder if making generators context managers 
which call close() on exit would help.

[issue17468] Generator memory leak

2013-04-20 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

We can't make ordinary generators innately context managers, as it makes the 
error too hard to detect when you accidentally leave out @contextmanager when 
using a generator to write a custom one.

You can already use contextlib.closing to forcibly close them when appropriate, 
so providing a decorator to implicitly map __exit__ to close wouldn't really 
save much.

[issue17468] Generator memory leak

2013-04-20 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

To get back to Anssi's original suggestion... I think Anssi's proposal to allow 
finalisation to be skipped for try/except/else is legitimate. It's only finally 
clauses that we try to guarantee will execute, there's no such promise implied 
for ordinary except clauses.

We *don't care* if the generator *would* have caught the thrown GeneratorExit, 
we only care about ensuring that finally blocks are executed (including those 
implied by with statements). So if there aren't any finally clauses or with 
statements in the block stack, we should be able to just let the generator and 
frame get collected (as Anssi suggested), without trying to allow execution to 
complete.

[issue17800] Expose __del__ when tp_del is populated from C code

2013-04-20 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Calling __del__ explicitly shouldn't be any worse than doing the same thing for 
any other type implemented in Python (or, in the case of generators, calling 
close() multiple times). What I'm mostly interested in is the can this type 
cause uncollectable cycles introspection aspect.

However, as Antoine noted, generators are an interesting special case because 
the GC is able to *skip* finalising them in some cases, so exposing __del__ 
isn't right for them either (as that suggests they will *always* be 
uncollectable in a cycle, when that isn't the case).

So now I'm wondering if a better answer may be to generalise the current 
generator special case to a __needsdel__ protocol: provide a __del__ method, 
but always make it possible for the GC to skip it when it wouldn't do anything 
(e.g. if you've already called close() explicitly). PyGenerator_NeedsFinalizing 
would then become the __needsdel__ impl for generators, and we could lose the 
special casing in the GC code. From Python, you could detect the three cases 
through:

__del__ only: can cause uncollectable cycles
__del__and __needsdel__: can cause uncollectable cycles, but it depends on the 
instance state
Neither: can't cause uncollectable cycles

That's a good point.

I'm also contemplating that the generator close() could be done from the
*frame*'s tp_clear, which would sidestep the issue of collect order
entirely: the finally block doesn't actually need the generator to
execute, it only needs the frame and its locals.

[issue17800] Add gc.needs_finalizing() to check if an object needs finalising

2013-04-20 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Yeah, I've figured out that rather than exposing __del__ if tp_del is 
populated, or generalising the generator special case, the simplest way to make 
this info accessible is to be able to ask the *garbage collector* if it thinks 
an object needs finalising.

That actually makes this a pretty easy issue (as C issues go) - it's just a 
matter of exposing 
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/default/Modules/gcmodule.c#l525 
(has_finalizer) as gc.needs_finalizing.

It will be easier once #17468 is done though, since that will make it clearer 
what the documentation should say.

[issue16942] urllib still doesn't support persistent connections

2013-04-20 Thread Senthil Kumaran

Senthil Kumaran added the comment:

Agree with Demian Brecht. This issue is being closed in when two issues cover 
the requirements discussed here.

* issue# 16901 - For Enhancing FileCookieJar
* issue# 9740 - For supporting persistant HTTP 1.1 connections. 

(:-( on me)

[issue9682] socket.create_connection error message for domain subpart with invalid length is very confusing

2013-04-20 Thread R. David Murray

R. David Murray added the comment:

The message in both branches of the if talk about empty labels, which is 
probably my fault since I got the sense of the if wrong in my suggestion.  One 
of them should be about the label being too long.  The one that should be the 
'empty' message also doesn't read right to my eyes.  As I said I think it 
should be something like: 'empty label in %r % result.decode()'.

Also, in looking at the module code, there are several other places where the 
size check and simple message are used.  In all of these cases the string has 
already been confirmed to be (or converted to, in the case of the punycoding) 
ASCII.  So we can abstract this check into a function and call it from all 
those locations.

Do you want to update the patch accordingly, Mike?  It will need more tests.

[issue17795] backwards-incompatible change in SysLogHandler with unix domain sockets

2013-04-20 Thread Mike Lundy

Mike Lundy added the comment:

It doesn't fix it unless I change the configuration (and in some cases the 
code) for every SyslogHandler across all of our projects, plus every single 
library we use. Google around For SysLogHandler /dev/log socktype and then 
compare with SysLogHandler /dev/log. You won't find many hits where people 
set socktype, because people knew that SyslogHandler just Did The Right Thing 
when presented with an AF_UNIX. That has been the behavior since the logging 
module was introduced in 2.3.

I'm just asking that you preserve the default behavior that has existed since 
python 2.3- that was the purpose of my patch. I'm not tied to how I implemented 
it (I mean, it is kind of ugly) but I believe preserving the behavior is 
important, and I also believe that it will break less code than what is 
currently there (because, after all, socktype was only introduced in 2.7, the 
SysLogHandler doesn't care if it's None, and subclasses couldn't have relied on 
it in the AF_UNIX case because the original fallback didn't update it)

[issue4934] tp_del and tp_version_tag undocumented

2013-04-20 Thread Alex Leach

Alex Leach added the comment:

I've just ran into tp_version_tag, when running the boost python testsuite and 
wondered what it was... Since upgrading to GCC 4.8, I've started to get a lot 
more warnings with Python extensions, e.g.:-

boost/python/opaque_pointer_converter.hpp:122:14: warning: missing initializer 
for member ‘_typeobject::tp_version_tag’ [-Wmissing-field-initializers]

In this instance the testsuite was made to compile with the '-Wextra' flag. The 
fix was pretty simple; add another zero to the opaque_pointer_convert struct.

I have used the following preprocessor macro to test whether or not to do this. 
Would this be a good way to test for the addition?

#if PY_VERSION_HEX = 0x0206
  0,/* tp_version_tag */
#endif

Cheers,
Alex

it seems like file() can't handle unicode file names on FreeBSD. The FS 
encoding is 'US-ASCII' on Snakebite's FreeBSD box.

[issue17804] streaming struct unpacking

2013-04-20 Thread Antoine Pitrou

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

For certain applications, you want to unpack repeatedly the same pattern. This 
came in issue17618 (base85 decoding), where you want to unpack a stream of 
bytes as 32-bit big-endian unsigned ints. The solution adopted in issue17618 
patch (struct.Struct(!{}I)) is clearly suboptimal.

I would suggest something like a iter_unpack() function which would repeatedly 
yield tuples until the bytes object is over.
