[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

[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. -- k

[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 per

[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. See also http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/9880. -- nosy: +cboos

[issue7470] logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong

Christian Boos 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 ju

[issue8929] wininst: msvcr90 dependency in x64 build

Christian Boos 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

[issue7470] logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong

Christian Boos added the comment: PPS: Ok, links to the Mercurial repo /really/ don't work, and it was not the #l837 part ;-) -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/i

[issue7470] logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong

Christian Boos added the comment: One way to solve the issue. PS: copy/pasting URLs to the Mercurial repo apparently doesn't work, for some reason (probably the line anchor); the URL I gave above was: http://code.python.org/hg/trunk/file/bd98b2c097fe/Lib/logging/__init__.py +

[issue7470] logger.StreamHandler emit encoding fallback is wrong

New submission from Christian Boos : 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/bd
