[issue2249] To document "assertTrue" in unittest

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl added the comment:

I agree with Raymond. Having three names for a function is even more
un-Zen than two.

Also, I can't see wha'ts clearer in assertTrue in comparison with assert_.

[issue2249] To document "assertTrue" in unittest

[Steve Purcell]

Steve Purcell added the comment:

I could be convinced either way here, and Georg & Raymond always have 
excellent judgement.

My personal inclination would probably be to add the documentation for 
assertTrue() and also assertFalse(), since their naming is symmetrical 
with that of assertEqual() etc.  I think plenty of people are using 
those functions anyway, judging by emails I receive, and I'm not sure 
that leaving the function undocumented addresses the issue of the 
(admittedly) sprawling API.

(I think Fred Drake put together the documentation originally; I don't 
recall any particular discussion about which aliases to document and 
which to leave out.)

If you are going to backport it to 2.6, then the C wrapper should be

[issue1733184] slice type is unhashable

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Jean-Paul Calderone added the comment:

I don't see the ability to use a slice as a dict key as particularly
more surprising than the ability to use ints as dict keys.  Someone who
doesn't understand how dicts work can use either of these features to
write broken programs.

I have thought about that example and it's precisely the kind of thing I
would like to work.  The behavior is consistent with that of using any
other immutable value as a key.  I don't have a use case right now (and
by admitting so may be dooming this change - but L. Peter Deutsch has
one, I think) but there's no way I would ever benefit from the current
behavior, whereas I _might_ be able to do something useful with the
proposed behavior.

[issue1733184] slice type is unhashable

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:

Note that L[:] and L[:] = [] are well-known idioms for making a copy of 
a list and emptying the list respectively. (For dictionaries we have 
D.copy() and D.clear().) Someone looking at x[:] or x[:] = [] should 
immediately recognize a list copy or clear operation.  Having to think 
of whether x may be a dictionary would make such code very confusing.

[issue1533486] long -> Py_ssize_t (C/API 1.2.1)

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:

Georg, did you miss the s/assuming/because/ part of my proposal?  Python 
guarantees that sizeof(Py_ssize_t) == sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(void*). (See PEP 
353.)

"Assuming" is therefore misleading because it suggests that it may not 
be always true.

[issue2241] Additional Flag For Unit-Test Module: There Can Be Only One (Error)

[Brian White]

Brian White added the comment:

I am somewhat new to mock objects.  I'm coding up my first one now (in
D) to simulate a "stream" for other objects I want to write.

Even within a single module, I typically have many tests for the methods
within that module.  And since a module's methods make use of each
other, there is again a case for the tests of the lower-level functions
to be executed first.

Anyway, this is something that works for me, but I understand that not
everybody operates this way.

All the best from this Canadian in Switzerland.  :-)

[issue705836] struct.pack of floats in non-native endian order

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson added the comment:

Coming back to this, I think that it actually *is* clear what
struct(">f", large_float) should do:  it should raise OverflowError.
This fits in well with the general philosophy that Python (at least
tries to) follow for floating-point exceptions.

The attached patch (705836_v2.patch) fixes this.  All tests pass with 
this patch applied.

I'll leave this around for a few days in case anyone wants to comment on 
it;  then I plan to apply it to the trunk.

[issue2218] Enhanced hotshot profiler with high-resolution timer

[Jean Brouwers]

Jean Brouwers added the comment:

There are 7 other, potentially serious issues in the original _hotshot.c 
file.  All those are being fixed for the next version of the enhanced 
hotshot files.

The 7 issues are:

1) functions flush_data and do_stop may create an infinite recursion on 
line 567.

2) The pack_string and pack_add_info functions do not check for string 
lengths exceeding BUFFERSIZE and may corrupt memory in that case.

3) In line 1182, linetimings should be frametimngs:
   {"frametimings", T_LONG, offsetof(ProfilerObject, linetimings), 
READONLY},

4) Coverage members frametimings, linetimings and lineevents are set on 
line 1562 ff. after different values may have been written into the log 
file header by function write_header on lines 1440 ff.

5) The coverage__doc__ on line 1546 is incomplete.

6) At several places, errors are detected but not reported and not sets.

7) An int value is passed where a long is specified or expected.  T_LONG 
should be T_INT on lines 1182-1184 and there are several calls to 
PyInt_FromLong with an int argument on line 487 ff. and other places.

[issue1504333] sgmllib should allow angle brackets in quoted values

[Paul Molodowitch]

Paul Molodowitch added the comment:

Patch for sgmllib.py (and test_sgmllib.py)

Correctly parses quoted attribute - allowing for brackets, newlines, etc
within attributes - implemented by altering the loop which finds
attributes within parse_starttag so it checks for open-ended quotes, and
makes sure any closing brackets it finds are not within quotes

In test_sgmllib, added the test case from the original patch, as well as
re-enabling two other test cases, which both work now
