[issue4973] calendar formatyearpage returns bytes, not str

[Gabriel Genellina]

Gabriel Genellina  added the comment:

This is the expected behavior; that's why the function takes an 
"encoding" argument. As it returns a complete XML document, it must be 
already encoded. Other methods return just document pieces, so str is 
fine. Probably should be better explained in the documentation.

Do you have a PYTHONPATH environment variable?

[issue4979] random.uniform can return its upper limit

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

The distinction between < and <= is fairly meaningless when applied to a 
computed floating-point result.  I think the docs should be fixed to 
replace the < with <=.  In any case, the b <= N < a bit has the 
inequalities the wrong way around: presumably it was intended to read b < 
N <= a.  The docs for random.triangular should also be fixed in the same 
way.

(N.B. What *is* always true is that the result of random.random() is never 
1.0.  And that's a useful property---without it, random.uniform(a, b) can 
even return values *outside* the closed interval [a, b].)

To me, it doesn't seem worth slowing down random.uniform itself with extra 
checks: it's the sort of function that often gets called millions of times 
within a simulation, or numerical algorithm (e.g. Monte-Carlo 
integration), and it's trivial for the user to add his or her own check if 
necessary.

I also think it's a nice property that random.uniform currently degrades 
gracefully when a == b, producing the expected point distribution at a.  I 
wouldn't want to change that.

So:  +1 for amending the docs.  -1 for changing random.uniform.

[issue4565] Rewrite the IO stack in C

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou  added the comment:

The work to rewrite the IO stack in C will solve this problem as it will
probably solve most performance-related IO problems in py3k.

Amaury and I have been progressing a lot, the rewrite is now a real
branch in SVN at branches/io-c/. On this very issue, it is only 30%
slower than 2.x, which is quite good given the layered nature of the IO
stack and the fact that text IO does a lot more than in 2.x (it
translates newlines and encodes the text).

(actually, if I add an explicit .encode('utf8') call to the 2.x version
of the script, it becomes slower than our io-c rewrite)

With the io-c branch I see much better unpickling performance than
before. But it still seems to be around 2 or 3 times slower than with
cPickle in 2.6.

Is this expected at this point of io-c development? Otherwise perhaps
this issue should stay open until it can be verified that nothing else
can be done to get closer to the old cPickle performance.

[issue4986] Augmented Assignment / Operations Confusion in Documentation

[andrew cooke]

New submission from andrew cooke :

There's a small confusion in terminology in the documentation related to
methods that implement augmented assignment.

The "Expressions" section of the language reference ("Simple
statements") refers to augmented assignment -
http://docs.python.org/3.0/reference/simple_stmts.html#augmented-assignment-statements
- and this seems to be a carefully chosen (and correct) phrase because
the parsing is related to assignments, which are augmented with various
operators.

It is important to note that augmented assignments ("+=" etc) are *not*
parsed as operators.  It is syntax error to use them in many places
where an operator would be accepted.

In the "Data Model" section, however, things are less clear
http://docs.python.org/3.0/reference/datamodel.html#emulating-numeric-types
.  The methods used to implement augmented assignment are grouped near
those used to implement arithmetic operators.  That seems natural.  But
the text confuses the two more than is strictly necessary.  In
particular there is the phrase "augmented arithmetic operations".

As I have already tried to make clear, these are not operations.  They
are augmented assignments.  Calling them operations is misleading,
because they cannot be used in the same places as "real" operations -
the parser simply will not accept them.

Apart from changing "augmented arithmetic operations" to "augmented
assignments" it might be worth adding some kind of note that explains to
the user that the parser calls those methods to implement assignment,
and that they are not valid in the same syntax as operations.

I am not sure the following will help, but it does illustrate the
confusion caused -
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/f1322928300b2b71

Cheers, Andrew

It's much closer here.

With 2.7 (trunk) and cPickle:
0.439934968948
0.669679880142
With the io-c branch:
0.136367082596
0.79822298

> Is this expected at this point of io-c development?

20-30% slower is expected for binary I/O (which is what I get above),
not 2x or 3x slower.
What is your system?

[issue4923] time.strftime documentation needs update

%f and %z are not standardized by C89 and therefore not always
available.  They fall under the clause "Additional directives may be
supported on certain platforms, but only the ones listed here have a
meaning standardized by ANSI C." which is noted for time.strftime().

datetime.strftime() implements %z (and %f from 2.6) separately,
therefore it is available there.

[issue4973] calendar formatyearpage returns bytes, not str

[Michael Newman]

Michael Newman  added the comment:

It seems to be working consistently (see UTF-16 extreme example below),
but I had expected it to act similarly to Python 2.6, which it does not.
I suppose this is due to the distinction now made between strings and
bytes in Python 3.0.

I was initially concerned that Python 3.0 was always just giving an
ASCII byte stream no matter what encoding was chosen (since you can't
tell between ASCII and UTF-8 for the characters being used in the
example), but the UTF-16 example shows its fine.

I agree that as long as the documentation in Python 3.X notes it will
return "bytes", then its fine. Thanks for the clarification/confirmation.

Jacob: what language version is your Vista installation? Is
"c:\Programmer" the local translation of "c:\Program Files"?

Perhaps something doesn't work right with symbolic links on Vista.
Unfortunately, I have only the English version of Vista for testing.

Can you two please install Python into a non-standard folder that

[issue4986] Augmented Assignment / Operations Confusion in Documentation

[Georg Brandl]

Georg Brandl  added the comment:

Fixed in r68727.

IMO, "augmented operation" was an acceptable term -- the term "operator"
is not strictly limited to operators usable in expressions in Python.
However, since it's called "augmented assignment" everywhere else, it's
better here too for consistency.

A real mistake was that the same paragraph called "a += b" an expression
-- it really is a statement. Fixed that too.

[issue4989] 'calendar' module is crummy and should be removed

[Michał Pasternak]

New submission from Michał Pasternak :

I was looking for some library to handle calendar events. Something PIM-
style, something useful, that could check if, for example, 2 weekly 
repeated events that start on Monday morning and last until December 
conflict with each other.

Then I found 'calendar' module in the standard library.

My question: how this thing ever made it to the standard library?

Maybe it was useful back in the days, if somebody could not get BSD or 
GNU sources for cal(1) . Nowadays, even if it is able to print HTML 
calendars, lets face it - who will use that functionality? You can 
easily find HTML calendars with a lot of JavaScript support, that can be 
customised in a thousands of ways.

I suggest we delete this module completly.

Over 3 years ago I wrote a plugin for the Xplane Flight Simulator.
This uses a SDK that Ben Supnik and myself created 6 years ago.
Our plugins are DLL's that our plugin manager DLL loads at run time.

The plugin embeds python and allows python scripts to be run from within
Xplane.
This has worked fine with python 2.3.x, 2.4.x, 2.5.x and 2.6.0.
I see the same problem as described here when using 2.6.1 with the
ctypes, socket libraries etc.
This also affects PyOpenGL as it uses ctypes.

I applied the patch that Mark posted and rebuilt python26.dll.
I tested this on Windows XP and Windows 7 Beta.
With the patched python26.dll my scripts now load properly.
The script that uses PyOpenGL also works fine now.

I thought that this feedback may be useful.

[issue4991] os.fdopen doesn't raise on invalid file descriptors

[Benjamin Peterson]

New submission from Benjamin Peterson :

Since os.fdopen is now implemented with io.open, it doesn't use fdopen
and check for invalid file descriptors. This isn't a huge issue since
subsequent actions on the file will raise an error.

Unfortunately, it isn't as simple as "install into a symbolic

into c:\temp (i.e. into the symlink), and it still worked fine.

[issue4474] PyUnicode_FromWideChar incorrect for characters outside the BMP (unix only)

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

Looks good to me.

I'm not in a position to test with 16-bit wchar_t, but I can't see why 
anything would go wrong.  I think we can take our chances: check this in 
and watch the buildbots for signs of trouble.

Some minor whitespace issues in the unicodeobject.c part of the patch 
(mixing of tabs and spaces, one brace indented oddly), but those can 
easily be taken care of before committing;  not worth regenerating the 
patch for.

Marc-André, is it okay with you to check this in?

[issue4992] yield's documentation not updated

[Petr Viktorin]

New submission from Petr Viktorin :

In the yield statement documentation
(http://docs.python.org/3.0/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-yield-statement),
the old way of calling generators is used:

"The body of the generator function is executed by calling the
generator’s next() method repeatedly until it raises an exception."

This should be changed to something like:

"The body of the generator function is executed by calling the next()
function on the generator repeatedly until it raises an exception."

Or just replace next() with __next__(), and fix the next paragraph as well.

I'm not sure Windows has a valid fstat btw, I'll guess we'll see on the

[issue4989] 'calendar' module is crummy and should be removed

[Skip Montanaro]

Skip Montanaro  added the comment:

Look at the oldest checkin comment for a line still in the module:

  r2166 | guido | 1990-10-13 14:23:40 -0500 (Sat, 13 Oct 1990) | 2 lines

  Initial revision

In short, it's been there for a long, long time.  Long before PEPs.  
Long before Tkinter.  Long before cmath.  Probably long before any code 
which would satisfy your needs was written.  Of all the checkin comments 
for lines still in the current trunk, calendar.py has code which is 
within a few revisions of the earliest code in the repository.

With "shell=True" it works but I don't want to execute it in this
manner, because thus Python creates two subprocess and it returns the
PID of the open shell but not of the real process of Mplayer.

[issue4120] Do not embed manifest files in *.pyd when compiling with MSVC

[Zach Hirsch]

Zach Hirsch  added the comment:

Without msvc9compiler_stripruntimes.diff, or a patch like it, it doesn't
seem possible to use pywin32 (or other binary extensions) with
Python-2.6+ installed "just for me" (i.e., without the VC90 runtime
installed globally).

Using the python-2.6.1 MSI installed "just for me" and the pywin32-212
installer, I get the following error when trying to import win32api:

Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec  4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import win32api
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ImportError: DLL load failed: This application has failed to start
because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the
application may fix this problem.

Removing the manifest from all the .pyd files installed by pywin32
allows me to import win32api without issue.
