[issue16561] bdist_wininst installers don't use UAC, then crash
Christian Boos added the comment: Ping. Probably too late for 2.7.9, but the patch is about adding a check a null pointer dereference and the follow-up crash, so someone might be interested to commit it, or a similar fix. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16561 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue16561] bdist_wininst installers don't use UAC, then crash
Christian Boos added the comment: `--user-access-control auto` doesn't work for me... With Python 2.7.8 installed ''for all'' in C:/Program Files (x86)/Python27, an installer built with `bdist_wininst --user-access-control auto` will *not* ask for permission elevation and will crash as described above. If I build the installer with `bdist_wininst --user-access-control force` it will ask for permission elevation and the install will proceed normally. Same behavior for the amd64 version of 2.7.8 installed in C:/Program Files/Python27. However, one way or the other I think it would be annoying to ask for permission elevation when it's not actually needed, like when python is installed in the default C:/Python27 location for example. So I think a better fix would be to simply *not crash* and fail saying elevated permissions are required. The user can then simply do a Run as administrator on the installer from the Windows explorer and things work as expected. -- nosy: +cboos ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16561 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue16561] bdist_wininst installers don't use UAC, then crash
Christian Boos added the comment: The reason of the crash is pretty trivial, there's no check for success of the creation of the installation logfile. Trapping this and aborting (with a hint to use Run as administrator) would be enough to fix the issue, I think. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37019/python-issue-16561.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue16561 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue15564] cgi.FieldStorage should not call read_multi on files
Christian Boos added the comment: I think that reverting to a read_single() when the read_multi() fails could do the trick here. At least this approach seems to work for uploading .mht files.

[issue7470] logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong
Christian Boos cb...@neuf.fr added the comment: Hello Vinay, I recently installed Python 2.6.5, and I see this buglet is also present there. When I reported the issue, I said 2.6 worked and IIRC it must have been 2.6 or 2.6.1. I don't know if it's worth to backport the fix for 2.6.6, but just in case, I wanted to let you know. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7470 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue8929] wininst: msvcr90 dependency in x64 build
Christian Boos cb...@neuf.fr added the comment: I did a mistake and downloaded an older installer, sorry for the trouble this caused. The actual Python 2.6.5 (x64) has wininst-9.0.exe and wininst-9.0-amd64.exe built statically as expected. -- nosy: +cboos ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8929 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue7470] logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong
New submission from Christian Boos cb...@neuf.fr: For a stream with a poor encoding, such as sys.stderr on Windows where encoding is cp437, the encoding of an unicode message will fail (expected) and then a fallback encoding to UTF-8 will be done: (in http://code.python.org/hg/trunk/file/bd98b2c097fe/Lib/logging/__init__.p y#l837): 837 except UnicodeError: 838 stream.write(fs % msg.encode(UTF-8)) However, that fallback won't work, as at this point, fs was already converted to unicode and is now u'%s\n', so the (msg.encode(UTF-8)) str will be decoded to unicode again using the default encoding, which will likely fail with a UnicodeDecodeError if msg contains non-ascii characters. The solution would be to keep using fs as %s\n in this line. This is similar to issue6991, but not exactly the same and it only happens for Python 2.7. Using logging_error.py, I've tested Python 2.3 to Python 2.6 (works) and Python 2.7a1 (fails), current trunk must have the same issue as 2.7a1. Patch follows. -- components: Library (Lib) files: logging_error.py messages: 96201 nosy: cboos, vinay.sajip severity: normal status: open title: logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15518/logging_error.py ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7470 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
