[issue5076] bdist_wininst fails on py3k

2009-01-26 Thread Mark Hammond
New submission from Mark Hammond mhamm...@users.sourceforge.net: bdist_wininst installers created by py3k fail due to PySys_SetArgv and Py_SetProgramName both being passed 'char *' strings instead of wide strings. The patch is against the svn trunk as currently Python 2.x and 3.x share the same

Gabriel Genellina gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar added the comment: This is what rlcompleter does; it uses dir() to find out what names to return. Or do you mean that it should not iterate along __bases__ because this has already been done by dir()? ___ Python

2009-01-26 Thread Carl Johnson
Carl Johnson c...@carlsensei.com added the comment: I think that checking to see which things really exist with getattr/hasattr made sense back in the days before the __dir__, since in those days the real API for an object could diverge wildly from what was reported by dir(object), but nowadays,

Gabriel Genellina gagsl-...@yahoo.com.ar added the comment: The check is made to decide whether the attribute is a method or not (because methods get a ( appended) -- for names that fail to exist, one could just omit the ( and include the name anyway. rlcompleter does nothing special with

[issue5062] Rlcompleter.Completer does not use __dir__ magic method

2009-01-26 Thread Carl Johnson
Carl Johnson c...@carlsensei.com added the comment: Ah, I see. It does a dir(obj) then tests things to see which are callable and while it is at that, it removes the names that don't really exist according to getattr. Actually, can we go back to the Python 2.5 behavior? I really hate those
