New submission from David Wilson :
When viewing docs for classes that use annotations, pydoc's rendering of
argument lists is regularly truncated at the terminal edge (if using `less
-S`), or wrapped in a manner where quickly scanning the output is next to
impossible.
My 'classi
David Wilson added the comment:
A real example of where returning the partial buffer is dangerous would be
EBADF.
- Repeated reading succeeds, building up a partial buffer. Another thread runs,
and buggy code causes an unrelated fd blonging to the file object to be closed.
- Original
David Wilson added the comment:
If we treat different errnos specially, the list of 'okay to silently fail'
errors seems quite succinct. In another project I treat EIO, EPIPE and
ECONNRESET as EOF, and raise all others --

David Wilson added the comment:
Interesting, this immediately turns into a little rabbit hole :)
The reason read() is failing in this case, is because argument clinic defaults
the size parameter to -1, which redirects the call to readall(). So this issue
is actually about readall
David Wilson added the comment:
Happy to send a patch for this if we can agree on the semantic being incorrect,
and more importantly, someone is happy to review the patch once it reaches
GitHub ;)

Hi Nick,
The purpose of ModuleNotFoundError is clear and unrelated to the problem
documented here. The problem is that due to the introduction of
ModuleNotFoundError, ImportError's semantics have been changed within a minor

David Wilson added the comment:
Having considered this for a few hours, it seems the following is clear:
- 3.6 introduces ModuleImportError
- 3.7 begins using it within importlib
- 3.8 first instance of stdlib code catching it
- PEP-302 and PEP-451 are the definitive specifications for how

Hi Piotr,
There wasn't an obvious fix that didn't involve changing the buffer interface
itself. There is presently ambiguity in the interface regarding the difference
between a "read only" buffer and an "immutable" buffer, which i

Could we also make a small tweak to zipfile.rst indicating the new behaviour? I

David Wilson added the comment:
While in spirit this is a bug fix, it's reasonably complex and affects a
popular module -- I'm not sure it should be applied to 2.x, and probably not in
a minor release of 3.x either. Would it make sense to include as part of 3.5?

David Wilson added the comment:
Per my comment on issue16569, the overhead of performing one seek before each
(raw file data) read is quite minimal. I have attached a new (but incomplete)
patch, on which the following microbenchmarks are based. The patch is
essentially identical to Stepan&#
David Wilson added the comment:
Compared to the cost of everything else ZipExtFile must do (e.g. 4kb string
concatenation in a loop, zlib), its surprising that lseek() would measurable at
all.

terms of c
David Wilson added the comment:
As a random side-note, this is another case where I really wish Python had a
.pread() function. It's uniquely valuable for coordinating positioned reads in
a threaded app without synchronization (at user level anyway) or extraneous

New submission from David Wilson:
There is some really funky behaviour in the zipfile module, where, depending on
whether zipfile.ZipFile() is passed a string filename or a file-like object,
one of two things happens:
a) Given a file-like object, zipfile does not (since it cannot) consume

Hey Serhiy,
The implementation for your readline optimization seems less contentious (and
less risky) than the remainder of the patch -- it could perhaps be easily split
off into a separate patch, which may be far more easily committed.

Hey Antoine,
Thanks for the link. I'm having trouble getting reproducible results at

totally isolating a CPU for e.g. django_v2 and with frequency scaling disabled,

David Wilson added the comment:
This new patch abandons the buffer interface and specializes for Bytes per the
comments on this issue.
Anyone care to glance at least at the general structure?
Tests could probably use a little more work.
Microbenchmark seems fine, at least for construction
David Wilson added the comment:
Stefan, I like your new idea. If there isn't some backwards compatibility
argument about mmap.mmap being hashable, then it could be considered a bug, and
fixed in the same hypothetical future release that includes this BytesIO
change. The only cost now is

David Wilson added the comment:
Hi Stefan,
How does this approach in reinit() look? We first ask for a writable buffer,
and if the object obliges, immediately copy it. Otherwise if it refused, ask
for a read-only buffer, and this time expect that it will never change.
This still does not
David Wilson added the comment:
I'm not sure how much work it would be, or even if it could be made sufficient
to solve our problem, but what about extending the buffers interface to include
a "int stable" flag, defaulting to 0?
It seems though, that it would just be making the
David Wilson added the comment:
Stefan,
Thanks for digging here. As much as I'd love to follow this interpretation, it
simply doesn't match existing buffer implementations, including within the
standard library.
For example, mmap.mmap(..., flags=mmap.MAP_SHARED, prot=mmap.PROT_
David Wilson added the comment:
I'm not sure the "read only buffer" test is strong enough: having a readonly
view is not a guarantee that the data in the view cannot be changed through
some other means, i.e. it is read-only, not immutable.
Pretty sure this approach is broken.

This version is tidied up enough that I think it could be reviewed.
Changes are:
* Defer `buf' allocation until __init__, rather than __new__ as was previously
done. Now upon completion, BytesIO.__new__ returns a valid, closed BytesIO,
whereas previou
David Wilson added the comment:
Good catch :( There doesn't seem to be way a to ask for an immutable buffer, so
perhaps it could just be a little more selective. I think the majority of use
cases would still be covered if the sharing behaviour was restricted only to
BytesType.
