[issue11129] logging: allow multiple entries in qualname config

2014-06-18 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

Dariusz Suchojad added the comment:

Hello friends,

@vinay.sajip - the use case for this feature is actually something I come 
across fairly often.

In an application I have dozens and hundreds of logger instances. However, they 
all fall into one of several loggers.

Most of the instances are obtained through a module-wide logger = 
getLogger(__name__).

Now I have a feature in the application split over a couple of modules, in 
different namespaces:

zato.common.scheduler
zato.server.scheduler

They are independent yet related and it would be most convenient if I could 
list both in qualname - they really should share the logging configuration, at 
no point they should have separate handlers, logging formats, anything.

As an aside, regarding dict configuration - I know you made the comment in 2011 
so it may not represent your current opinion but please keep in mind that 
logging config is something that on production is updated by administrators, 
i.e. whatever the latest trends in software development are, they aren't 
necessarily programmers.

People I work with have no problems with customizing ini-like files but Python 
dicts are an entirely different story, they are simply afraid of doing it - a 
missing apostrophe may mean a couple of hours wasted, for instance.

[issue19095] Document SSLSocket.getpeercert always returns None without do_handshake

2013-09-26 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

Dariusz Suchojad added the comment:

 None isn't helpful as it could mean other things.

This is another story but yes, it's true. API-wise, None should be returned in 
one situation only - we're on server side, ca_certs is non-CERT_NONE, 
do_handshake has been called yet there is no client certificate. And no other 
checks should be applied.

But the current behavior of returning None is documented and people depend on 
it so straightening it out would break backward compatibility - it's up to you 
to decide. I wouldn't mind it personally. 

But as far as this ticket goes - I'm on 2.7 and it's set in stone so for 2.7 - 
can you please change copy only? If you decide that for 3.x an exception will 
be raised then such a caveat would be included in 2.7 docs as well.

Thanks again.

[issue19095] Document SSLSocket.getpeercert always returns None without do_handshake

2013-09-26 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

Dariusz Suchojad added the comment:

 I'm not sure people depend on getpeercert() returning None before the
 handshake is done, or perhaps by accident?

Ah, no, I meant that people may depend on the documented behaviour of 
.getpeercert's returning an empty dict (which I mixed up with returning None) 
if the certificate was not validated.

That this dictionary's contents depends on the validation is a bit quirky but 
it's documented so changing that one would surely break existing code.

[issue19095] Document SSLSocket.getpeercert always returns None without do_handshake

2013-09-25 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

New submission from Dariusz Suchojad:

Hello,

I'd like to suggest adding a simple note to SSLSocket.getpeercert stating that 
it will always return None if do_handshake has never been called.

This is not the default behaviour, by default SSLSocket.__init__'s 
do_handshake_on_connect is True so .getpeercert nicely returns a cert (assuming 
the usual caveats - the other side offers a certificate and cert_reqs is not 
CERT_NONE).

However, I've just been debugging a someone else's server and I spent some time 
figuring out why client certificates weren't available - turned out this was 
because do_handshake was never called (PySSL_SSLdo_handshake in _ssl.c).

Adding a single-sentence line will certainly be very helpful.

Many thanks!

[ANN] Zato 1.1 - ESB and app server in Python

2013-06-03 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

Hello,

I'm very happy to let you know that Zato 1.1 has just been released.

*What is Zato*
--

Zato is a lightweight, yet complete, ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) and 
app server in Python designed for creating middleware applications and 
systems of systems.


Zato is open-source software released under a commercial-friendly LGPL 
license.


The project's site is at https://zato.io
Read more about what ESB is at https://zato.io/docs/intro/esb-soa.html

*Release notes*
---

This release is based on feedback from early adopters and includes a 
number of improvements to help first time users get started more easily.


An important addition in 1.1 is a unified installer for OS X, Ubuntu, 
Mint and Fedora.


Special thanks to Myroslav Opyr (quintagroup.com) for all his 
suggestions and code patches and to a vocal group of OS X users 
(https://github.com/zatosource/zato/issues/41) who helped create the OS 
X installer!


Download: https://zato.io/downloads.html
Migrating from 1.0: https://zato.io/docs/admin/guide/migrating.html
Changelog: https://zato.io/docs/project/changelog.html

Unfortunately, this release doesn't add an installer for RHEL and SLES. 
Confronted with a choice between delaying 1.1 and adding support for OS 
X and Fedora, I had to make a call and chose the latter.


*Changelog*
---

* Unified installer for Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora and OS X

* Added the zato check-config command

* Fixed a bug which lead to double execution of user-defined scheduler jobs

* Made quickstart clusters more robust when confronted with improperly 
configured servers, sanity checks are now performed before servers are 
started


* Changed the default value of main.deployment_lock_expires so it works 
on 32-bit systems without a need for reconfiguring servers after they’re 
created


* Made scripts generated by zato quickstart relocatable

* Newly created servers start CPU_COUNT gunicorn workers by default now, 
not CPU_COUNT * 2 as previously


* HAProxy load-balancer can now bind to all interfaces. Patch provided 
by Myroslav Opyr (quintagroup.com).

sec-wall 1.1 / A feature packed security proxy

2012-03-01 Thread Dariusz Suchojad


Hello,

the version 1.1 of sec-wall has just been released.

Notable changes
---

- Added an 'ssl-wrap-only' option for terminating SSL without requiring 
clients to provide any authentication information


- Simplified access to sec-wall's internals from other Python packages 
so various authentication methods can be directly imported from Python code



What is sec-wall?
-
sec-wall is a feature packed security proxy.

sec-wall has many interesting features, including support for SSL/TLS, 
WS-Security, HTTP Auth Basic/Digest, extensible authentication schemes 
based on custom HTTP headers and XPath expressions, powerful URL 
matching/rewriting and an optional headers enrichment.


sec-wall uses and is built on top of several fantastic Python open 
source technologies, such as gevent, Spring Python, pesto, lxml, zdaemon 
or PyYAML and is meant to be highly customizable and easy to use. Good 
performance, tests, documentation and building an awesome community are 
at the very heart of the project.


Here's an example showing how little is needed to secure a backend 
server with HTTP Basic Auth.


# ##

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# stdlib
import uuid

# Don't share it with anyone.
INSTANCE_SECRET = '5bf4e78c256746eda2ce3e0e73f256d0'

# May be shared with the outside world.
INSTANCE_UNIQUE = uuid.uuid4().hex

def default():
return {
'basic-auth':True,
'basic-auth-username':'MyUser',
'basic-auth-password':'MySecret',
'basic-auth-realm':'Secure area',
'host': 'http://example.com'
}

urls = [

[issue10190] Can argparse._AttributeHolder._get_kwargs become a public API?

2010-10-25 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

Dariusz Suchojad ds...@gefira.pl added the comment:

I find that _AttributeHolder is a handy way for passing the command line 
options around the application. What is lacks though is a documented API for 
actually fetching the attributes in batches, like .items() or something similar 
that could be used for iterating over all command line arguments. That's why I 
thought '_get_kwargs' would be a good candidate particularly because it does 
exactly what I need in my code, returns a sorted list of key/value parameters.

But I'm not really saying that it must be '_get_kwargs', could as well be 
_AttributeHolder's __dict__ attribute as long as the docs say that it's a part 
of the public API so that I'm sure I'm not using something that may silently 
break between releases.

[issue10190] Can argparse._AttributeHolder._get_kwargs become a public API?

2010-10-24 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

New submission from Dariusz Suchojad ds...@gefira.pl:

Hello,

I was wondering if it were possible for the 
argparse._AttributeHolder._get_kwargs to become a part of the public API.

Using this method is a very convenient way to get a hold of the arguments 
provided by the user and it would be shame to keep it private, I for one use it 
in several places even though I clearly know the name starts with an 
underscore, it's just that reimplementing it in my code seems 
counter-productive, would be very nice if '_get_kwargs' became 'get_kwargs' in 
some future release.

Thanks for considering it!

[issue6992] PEP 314 inconsistency (authors/author/maintainer)

2009-10-01 Thread Dariusz Suchojad

Dariusz Suchojad ds...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:

Hello,

funny the bug report should surface in the very same time I was looking
for a way to put 2 authors in the 'author' field :-)

[Antoine Pitrou (pitrou)]
 It is still unknown what use case the new author scheme would solve 
 that the old one doesn't

I believe I have such a use case. I'm in the middle of taking over a
Python package and I would like to give credits to the original author
who passed the development over to me. You see, *he is* the author of
95% of the code, it seems unfair to replace his name with my own. I
thought I could simply use a list of authors but the 'author' field
hasn't been designed for it.

[Antoine Pitrou (pitrou)]
 (does someone want the authorfield to be machine parsable?
 for what purpose?),

I'm just a regular user and when I see a field described as a 'meta' one
then I'm actually not wondering how any future tools will take 
advantage of it. It being a 'meta' I understand it's mostly meant to be
interpreted by machines which, funnily enough, seems to be just to the
contrary of what you say.

Of course one can put anything they wish into 'author', it could even 
be CSV or XML but that's not the point, the point is that some things
simply have two and more authors and inserting the mailing list isn't
exactly the same. Sure, I can simply put it all in an AUTHORS file but
again it's not the same, what would be the 'author' field for then?

If someone were to ask me then I'd say there should only be the 'author'
and 'contributor' fields which both have a clear meaning in open-source
world, accepting both a string and a list/tuple in format of 'Foo Bar
foo...@example.com' which makes for easy parsing and other fields
discussed here should be deprecated. No one likes type checking but at
least it would provide backwards-compat for the most widely used field.
Just my 2c.

author = 'Foo Bar foo...@example.com'
author = ['Foo Bar foo...@example.com', 'Baz Frobble
bazfrob...@example.com']

But hey, I still very much like distutils :-) and I understand all the 
backwards-compatibility concerns, but as a user I can clearly see a need
for /some/ way to specify more than one author without having to wonder
what will any not-yet-written tool do with this or any other meta field.

[issue1737] Windows installer issue (ObjectBrowser.py)

New submission from Dariusz Suchojad:

Hello,

for some reasons I cannot install Python 2.5.1 using the default MSI
package which may be found here
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1.msi. This only
happens on two of my PC's at work but I cannot reproduce it at home.
The only difference I could find between those Windows is that the
PC's at work are connected to Active Directory domain whereas my home
machine isn't. I tried to install Python as a domain user and also
as a local administrator but every time I encountered the very same
screen (see attached file objectbrowser.png) and then the installation
process rollbacks. I'd like to investigate
it further but I have no slightest idea where to start. Do you perhaps
have any suggestions? It's all Windows XP SP2.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Webshpere MQ expects your code
to give it a stream of bytes, there's nothing file-specific in using
base WMQ so it's your application's job to read a file, put its contents
onto the desired queue, and to get it off the queue some time later.

If the code below is not what you need then feel free to ask a more 
specific question :-)

import pymqi as mq

# Queue manager name
qm_name = M01

# Listener host and port
listener = 127.0.0.1(1414)

# Channel to transfer data through
channel = SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN

# Input/output queue name
queue_name = Q01

# Make some data
file_name = C:\\sample.txt
sample_data = Hello from PyMQI.
open(file_name,w).write(sample_data)

# Connect to queue manager
qm = mq.QueueManager(None)
qm.connectTCPClient(qm_name, mq.cd(), channel, listener)

# Put a message onto the queue
queue = mq.Queue(qm, queue_name)
data = open(file_name).read()
queue.put(data)

# Close the queue, queue.put has implicitly opened the queue for output
# so we can't use the same pymqi.Queue object for getting the messages
# off the queue
queue.close()

# Now get the message, queue.get will implicitly open the queue for
# input
queue = mq.Queue(qm, queue_name)
msg = queue.get()
queue.close()

# Here's the message contents
print msg
