[issue9452] configparser support for reading from strings and dictionaries

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

Fred L. Drake, Jr.  added the comment:

(Apparently I don't have the right permissions on Rietveld.)

- Docstrings should be written in the standard PEP-8 way (single line
  summary + additional explanation as needed following a blank line).

- read_sting and read_dict should still take a `filename` argument for
  use in messages, with  and something like  (with
  the caller's __file__ being filled in if not provided).

- Indentation in the last read_dict of
  test.test_cfgparser.BasicTestCase.test_basic_from_dict is
  incconsistent with the previous read_dict in the same test.

- Lines over 79 characters should be shortened.  Most of these are in
  docstrings, so just re-wrapping should be sufficient for most.

- Changing the test structure to avoid self.cf may have been convenient,
  but is unrelated to the actual functionality changes.  In the future
  such refactorings should be performed in separate patches.  (Ordering
  dependencies are fine, so long as they're noted in the relevant
  issues.)

- DuplicateOptionError is missing from __all__.

- Changing the constructor to use keyword-only arguments carries some
  backward-compatibility risk.  That can be avvoided by removing that
  change and adding strict=False at the end of the parameter list.

  It's unlikely that this is a significant risk, since these parameters
  generally lend themselves to keyword usage.


I think this should have been several separate patches:

- refactoring (the self.cf changes in the tests)

- addition of the DuplicateOptionError

- the read_* methods (including the readfp deprecation)

- the new "strict" option

Don't change that at this point, but please consider smaller chunks in
the future.

[issue4806] Function calls taking a generator as star argument can mask TypeErrors in the generator

[Hagen Fürstenau]

Hagen Fürstenau  added the comment:

IIUC, the only change you suggest for my patch is using "finite iterable" 
instead of "sequence" or "iterable", right?

I've looked at the docs and there seems to be no precedent for "finite 
iterable". I think it's just as obvious that the iterable has to yield a 
correct (and finite) number of parameters as the fact that 
"list(itertools.count())" is a bad idea. So for consistency I would like to 
keep "iterable".

[issue9521] xml.etree.ElementTree strips XML declaration and procesing instructions

[Mark Summerfield]

New submission from Mark Summerfield :

If you read in an XML file using xml.etree.ElementTree.parse() and then write 
it out again using xml.etree.ElementTree.write() what is written may not be the 
same as what was read. In particular any XML declaration and processing 
instructions are stripped.

It seems to me that the parser should at least preserve any declaration and 
processing instructions so that reading and writing match up.

Here's an example:

Python 3.1.2 (r312:79147, Jul 15 2010, 10:56:05) 
[GCC 4.4.4] on linux2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.
>>> file = "control-center.xml"
>>> open(file).read()[:500]

\n  The GNOME Control Centre provides a

>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree

[issue9522] xml.etree.ElementTree forgets the encoding

[Mark Summerfield]

New submission from Mark Summerfield :

If you read in an XML file that specifies its encoding and then later on use 
xml.etree.ElementTree.write(), it is always written using US-ASCII. 

I think the behaviour should be different:
(1) If the XML that was read included an encoding, that encoding should be 
remembered and used when writing.
(2) If there is no encoding the default for writing should be UTF-8 (which is 
the standard for XML files).
(3) For non-XML files use US-ASCII.

Naturally, any of these could be overridden using an encoding argument to the 
write() method.

[issue9510] sqlite3.Warning isnt a subclass of exceptions.Warning

[Nick Craig-Wood]

Nick Craig-Wood  added the comment:

I think the fact that sqlite may not be using the warnings properly is 
independent of this problem.  Warnings should be filterable, but if sqlite 
isn't notifying them properly - that would be a different bug.

BTW I came across this problem when trying to swap out MySQLdb with sqlite3.  
The existing code was filtering warnings, that didn't work with sqlite3, hence 
this bug report!

[issue9520] Add Patricia Trie high performance container

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Thanks for the request Dmitry. You may want to read 
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0002/ to know which steps are required to 
add a module to the stdlib. In particular, the module has to be proven on the 
field and the author needs to sign a contributor agreement. It’s not clear 
which implementation you want to add (the one from BioPython I guess); I don’t 
know if this proposal will fly if you’re not the author of the module. (I don’t 
want to scare you away, just to explain the process.)

If you contact the author of the code you want to include and they agree with 
your idea, then it’ll be time to convince python-ideas that this would be a 
generally useful addition and that the chosen class is the best of breed.

A note about versions: I removed 3.1 since new features don’t go in stable 
releases, and 3.3 since it does not exist yet. Everything in 3.2 will go in 3.3 
too: this value is useful only to mean “won’t go in 3.2, remind later”.

I also edited the title to make it shorter, to make emails and reports more 
readable. Thanks again for your report.

script_helper just factored out the old test_cmd_line approach which
was in turn based on a minimalistic change from a popen2 based
implementation (see
http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/test/test_cmd_line.py?r1=54386&r2=55245).
Doing something smarter probably isn't a bad idea.

Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_STACKLESS_EXTENSION seems to be two bits reserved for use by 
Stackless, while Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG should be considered by extension 
authors an internal implementation detail (in normal circumstances, it won't 
impact how they have to write their code or the semantics of their extension 
types).

[issue9512] logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler - mode argument not respected

[Friðrik Már Jónsson]

Friðrik Már Jónsson  added the comment:

Thank you.  I should have been more clear about what I meant.

This this condition was introduced in r38631 by Vinay Sajip having the log
message "Added optional encoding argument to file handlers." I can't easily
see why this piece of code is necessary, which absolutely doesn't mean it
isn't.

I'm going to suggest some cases where other modes may be appropriate for
loggers. This is a little open-ended and devoid of solution-orientation, but I
don't know the rationale well enough to suggest alternatives.

We do know that 'r' (read-only logger) and 'w' (logger rarely rolls over for
traditional maxBytes values, but might -- this mode also makes relatively
little sense with ``logger.FileHandler``) make little sense here. I'm not
aware of a binary log format, so 'b' might make little sense as well. What
about 'U' and '+'?

For instance, the W3C Extended Log File Format draft uses headers at the
beginning of a log file. Ideally, knowing whether to write headers to the file
is done by using the ``handler.stream`` to determine whether the file is
empty. It may be debatable whether supporting such formats is the purpose of
handlers. If not, it's at the cost of writing new libraries that handle
logging for those formats.

I will never be able to exhaustively list use cases. If these modes are safe,
shouldn't the developer decide makes sense, as long as it doesn't break the
functionality of the logger?

I don't know whether it's generally approrpiate to add people to the nosy
list. I apologise, Vinay, if that's not common practice.

[issue917120] imaplib: incorrect quoting in commands

[Dave Baggett]

Dave Baggett  added the comment:

Piers Lauder, author of imaplib, emailed me the following comment about this 
bug:

The regex for "mustquote_cre" looks bizarre, and I regret to say I can
no longer remember its genesis.

Note however, that the term CTL in the RFC definition for "atom-specials" means 
"any ASCII control character and DEL, 0x00 - 0x1f, 0x7f", and so maybe defining 
what is NOT an atom-special was considered easier.

The suggested replacement regex may not match these...?
-

It seems like we need to enumerate the control characters in the regex to be 
absolutely correct here.

[issue9510] sqlite3.Warning isnt a subclass of exceptions.Warning

[Nick Craig-Wood]

Nick Craig-Wood  added the comment:

Reading PEP 0249 I can see Gerhard is correct, this patch would violate the PEP.

I think that the PEP is slightly flawed in that users are encouraged to raise 
exceptions called "Warning".  IMHO a Warning is never an exceptional condition 
and should be notified by the warnings framework.

This obviously confused the authors of MySQLdb, who do indeed warn() their 
Warning classes rather than raise() them, and it is very useful to be able to 
filter them.

To obey the letter of the PEP the authors of the MySQLdb interface multiply 
inherit their Warning class from exceptions.StandardError and 
exceptions.Warning.

I could make a patch for sqlite3 to do this if anyone thinks it would be useful.

Gerhard Häring  added the comment:

There is too little value changing the paramstyle attribute. I think the 
documentation clearly states that both parameter binding methods are supported.

[issue3210] subprocess.Popen does not release process handles if process cannot be started

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden  added the comment:

Brian, I'm not sure that the test as rewritten will exercise the error.

The key is that the traceback object will prevent the handles
from being finalised until it is itself finalised. After your
change I expect the handles to release anyway since the traceback
is already finalised.

In other words, I'm not testing that an exception is raised (which
is what the with assertRaises would suggest); I'm testing that
*within the lifetime of the exception* it's still possible to
remove the files which were passed as stdin/out/err where it wasn't
previously.

[issue9523] Improve dbm module

[Ray.Allen]

New submission from Ray.Allen :

During the patching work of issue8634, I found several problems about the 
module dbm.gnu and dbm.ndbm, I feel it's better to address them on a separate 
issue.

1. As issue8634 said, the dbm.gnu, dbm.ndbm and dbm.dumb should have the 
similar interface, since they are intended to use the general dbm module as a 
common interface. If some methods only appears in one or two of them, like the 
"get()" method, it will be not convenient for users. Making all the three ones 
follow the collections.MutableMapping interface could be a better choice. Since 
the dbm.dumb is already collections.MutableMapping, I implemented missing 
methods of collections.MutableMapping in dbm.gnu and dbm.ndbm, and register the 
dbm object type in dbm.gnu and dbm.ndbm to the ABC. The missing methods mainly 
include get(), values(), items(), pop(), popitem(), clear()

2. I fix the dbm_contains() function which implement the "in" operator to 
accept all buffer object, just like the dbm_subscript() fuction which implment 
the "[]" slice operator. I feel it's wearied that if "dbm['a']" yields the 
expected result but at the same time "'a' in dbm" raises TypeError. 

3. The type of dbm object in dbm.gnu is not iterable, and there is no way to 
iterate on it sufficiently because the only way we can iterate over it is to 
get all the keys first using keys() and then iter on the keys list. So I 
implemented a iterator type for dbm.gnu. Besides the dbm object in dbm.ndbm is 
also not iterable, and I implemented its tp_iter by get an iterator from its 
keys list instead of implementing a "real" iterator since the ndbm c api for 
get all the keys one by one is thread specific and I could not found a way to 
implement a real iterator to avoid the problem which occurred in the case we 
get tow iterators from one db object in the same thread and iterate over both 
at the same time.

The patch contains also unittest and doc.

[issue2521] ABC caches should use weak refs

[Jack Diederich]

Jack Diederich  added the comment:

This is a change in the codepath for instances that don't have __class__ 
defined.
 subclass = getattr(instance, '__class__', None)
-if subclass in cls._abc_cache:
+if subclass is not None and subclass in cls._abc_cache:

I think the same thing happens in either case (from visual inspection of the 
code) but I'd rather not change it if we don't need to.

[issue5476] datetime: timedelta(minutes = i) silently fails with numpy.int32 input

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

Terry,

Realistically, though, if you close this issue it is virtually guaranteed that 
not further action will be taken.  I have not been involved with numpy for a 
couple of years now, so it would take me some time to find their tracker and 
restore my credentials or open a new account.  If someone more familiar with 
the current numpy development comes across this issue, I would appreciate if he 
or she would make a report.

If you think keeping this issue open in this state is too much burden on 
triagers, feel free to close it.  IMO, however, triagers should ignore assigned 
issue unless they are more than say 6 months old with no activity.

[issue2651] Strings passed to KeyError do not round trip

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

Unassigning because others seem to be ahead of me reviewing this patch.   I 
will keep an eye on this, though.

Please note that I marked issue #614557 to depend on this one.  Adding 'key' 
attribute to exceptions is the subject of that issue.

While I support these features, I would really like to see a more comprehensive 
redesign as a part of PEP 3151.  I think it would be a mistake to rush 
something in before PEP 3151 is implemented and then discover that it was not 
the best choice as a part of bigger picture.

[issue5871] email.header.Header too lax with embeded newlines

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

My apologies for misunderstanding. Feature removal requests are sufficiently 
rare that I thought you were posting a mockup of what you wanted to be able to 
do, as many others have done. So we definitely agree on that example. I changed 
the title to be a little clearer that stricter checking is desired.

Unless that example violates a prohibition in the docs, removing this bad 
feature is still a feature request. The point is moot, however, since RDM is 
working on a mail module overhaul (for 3.2, I hope) and I doubt previous 
versions will be separately patched. I will let him decide if examples like 
this can be sensibly prohibited without disabling something that should be 
allowed.

I think I can answer for Georg (subject to being corrected, of
course.)  Georg's commit was to close issue #3821 and the test is by
Amaury.   I don't think either of them planned to write a
comprehensive test suite for the trace module.

[issue9524] Document CTRL_C_EVENT and CTRL_BREAK_EVENT usage on Windows

[Brian Curtin]

Brian Curtin  added the comment:

Those two signals are only intended to work with os.kill -- they are specific 
to the GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent function in Modules/posixmodule.c. I'll have to 
change the documentation to note that.

If you want to send those events to other processes, have a look at os.kill and 
some example usage in Lib/test/test_os.py and Lib/test/win_console_handler.py. 
This also needs better documentation.

[issue8285] IDLE not smart indenting correctly in nested statements

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

I don't think this is specific to IDLE;  it also happens when launching the 
python interpreter directly from a terminal on OS X or Linux.  (BTW, what 
platform are you on?)

As far as I can tell, the TAB character is simply advancing to the next tab 
stop;  those tab stops are determined by the terminal, and can be controlled 
with the 'tabs' command on Linux.  Though if you're using the readline library, 
that seems to override or reset the tab settings somehow.

[issue7894] too aggressive dependency tracking in distutils

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

With development of disutils2, distutils issues are not getting much separate 
attention. This may or may not get folded in to disutils2.

[issue1011113] distutils install with -b / --build-base

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Tarek maintains distutils and heads the development of distutils2; he’s very 
busy because of new work and baby these months. I have reviewed, updated and 
sometimes closed a bunch of distutils issues in April, before I started my GSoC 
work on distutils2, and I have less time now. With all due respect, I would 
like if you didn’t update distutils bugs with a boilerplate comment; GSoC is 
nearly over and I’ll get back to review distutils bugs, so your messages will 
prevent me from finding unanswered reports. Can you kindly tell me why you do 
that?

You're right, it also does it when I use the Python shell from the command

[issue1274324] 'setup.py install' fail on linux from read-only storage

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Alexander, thank you for the report. I’m sorry there was no reply earlier. 
Distutils was without dedicated maintainer for a long time, now Tarek has taken 
it over and fixes bugs. He’s very busy these months, so I’ll investigate this 
later this month when I get some time. Thanks again!

[issue8299] Improve GIL in 2.7

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

For better or worse, this did not make it into 2.7.
Is it the sort of thing that could still go into a bug-fix release, without 
alpha/beta testing?
Or should this be closes as out-of-date?

[issue8411] Improve condition variable emulation on NT

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

This patches ceval_gil.h. Can these changes be unit tested?
Or is this intended to be an internal performance, invisible-to-the-user, code

Antoine, are you going to look at this?

[issue8416] python 2.6.5 documentation can't search

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

With FireFox, searching from http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.5/
does not get 404 Not Found for me, but neither does it return any hits. The 
2.7, 3.1.2, 3.2a pages work fine.

Georg, I do not see a 2.6.6 page. Can you verify that it will work when 
released?

[Jesse Noller]

Jesse Noller  added the comment:

I don't know that it's unreasonable to send that much data, but it would 
certainly be slow, and I would not recommend it. Therefore, this is still on 
the list for when I have time

[issue9525] webbrowser: open new tab in unobtrusive way

[Filip Gruszczyński]

New submission from Filip Gruszczyński :

webbrowser module doesn't allow to open url in an unobtrusive way. Right now if 
browser is minimized it is brought to the top. Furthermore if you browser is 
already in the top, new tab is opened and user is moved to this top. It would 
be useful, if tab could be opened in background (just like when you open a link 
in chrome in new tab, new tab is created, but you stay in current window).

[issue1684] CGIHTTPServer does not chdir prior to executing the CGI script

[Fazal Majid]

Fazal Majid  added the comment:

Well, CGI/1.1 was formally documented by RFC 3875 in October 2004 (a full 11 
years after CGI was introduced...).
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3875.txt

The RFC is classified as "informative", but it's as close to a definitive spec 
for CGI as we will ever get. Section 7 described the system-specific 
implementation notes, and 7.2 specifies UNIX in particular:

The current working directory
  The current working directory for the script SHOULD be set to the
  directory containing the script.

This is also the specified behavior for AmugaDOS and EBCDIC POSIX systems. 
Oddly enough, the RFC editor did not find it worthwhile to specify the behavior 
on Windows...

You should find the 404 in http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.5/searchindex.js 
, not in the "root" of the release. I.E., it is the search index that is 
missing.

[issue8548] Building on CygWin 1.7: PATH_MAX redefined

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

None of the developers are much up on Cygwin and I am not sure it is directly 
supported by the core distribution. If it is not, this should be closed unless 
you have a specific patch.

In any case, you might do better with your question on python-list. Also, PEP11 
list Jason Tishler (ja...@tishler.net) as Cygwin maintainer.

Next time, please attach an edited, plain-text .txt log that can be viewed in 
the browser. I would have to be really motivated to download and extract a 
tar.gz file.

[issue9514] platform.linux_distribution() under Ubuntu returns ('debian', 'squeeze/sid', '')

[Matthias Klose]

Matthias Klose  added the comment:

IMO using lsb_release is not an option, because it can take some time to 
complete. So maybe it's better for the Ubuntu change to guard the check with 
the existance of /etc/debian_version.

Please could you attach a Mandriva lsb-release file?
