In the documentation index, https://docs.python.org/2/genindex-D.html, the link 
to the del statement documentation is not

[issue21467] IDLE icon not included in Windows installer

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower:

#20406 changed the icon used by IDLE, but forgot to include the new file in the 
Windows installer. As a result, IDLE won't start.

I've attached a patch. 3.4 is unaffected, probably because msi.py changed 
significantly at some point.

(I don't have commit rights, but since I've never actually had a patch accepted 
I know exactly why. I have a few more changes coming that affect/improve 
PCBuild and tools\msi, but I'm happy to keep creating issues and patches if 
that's the right way to make these changes. On the other hand, if someone wants 
to give me commit rights and say "just go for it in these dirs" (in my new role 
as build manager for 2.7/3.5+) I'm okay with that too.)

[issue21468] NNTPLib connections become corrupt after long periods of activity

[James Meneghello]

New submission from James Meneghello:

After establishing an NNTP connection for a long-running process (up to hours 
at a time), the connection will eventually die and start producing infinite 
random garbage output, a small part of which is seen below. Any subsequent 
calls to the connection will produce a random stream of exceptions and data, as 
the library flips out. This happens with the connection being constantly used 
over the time period.

The problem occurs approximately 2 hours after the initial connection is 
established, and happens after approximately the same amount of time each run. 
The below connection was initialised at 22:03:27 and broke at 23:55:58.

Workaround is pretty simple: kill the connection and reinitialise it. Calling 
quit() will fail, however, with a series of random exceptions produced, because 
quit() attempts to send a QUIT command to the broken socket.

Tested on Ubuntu 13.10 (which fails) and Windows 8.1, which does not appear to 
have the same problem - I'm unable to replicate it on Win8.1.

[issue21469] Hazards in robots.txt parser

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

* The can_fetch() method is not checking to see if read() has been called, so 
it returns false positives if read() has not been called.

* When read() is called, it fails to call modified() so that mtime() returns an 
incorrect result.  The user has to manually call modified() to update the 
mtime().

>>> from urllib.robotparser import RobotFileParser
>>> rp = RobotFileParser('http://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt')
>>> rp.can_fetch('UbiCrawler', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/index.html')
True
>>> rp.read()
>>> rp.can_fetch('UbiCrawler', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/index.html')
False
>>> rp.mtime()
0
>>> rp.modified()
>>> rp.mtime()
1399740268.628497

Suggested improvements:

1) Trigger internal calls to modified() every time the parse is modified using 
read() or add_entry().  That would assure that mtime() actually reflects the 
modification time.

2) Raise an exception or return False whenever can_fetch() is called and the 
mtime() is zero (meaning that the parser has not be initialized with any rules).

[issue21464] fnmatch module uses regular expression with undefined result to perform matching

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Paul Sokolovsky added the comment:

I see, so it's my misreading of the "re" module docs. I kinda thought that "x" 
in "(?x)" means "any single-character flag of set (?aiLmsux)". I was wrong, it 
is the specific literal flag. 

Also, rereading it again, the doc says "the letters set the corresponding 
flags: [list of flags], for the entire regular expression." So, my report is 
invalid.

Just to give some context, I hit this when porting fnmatch.py to MicroPython 
(http://micropython.org/), which doesn't use native CPython SRE, but instead 
system PCRE. Well, it would be nice if stdlib maintained kind of compatibility 
with original PCRE semantics, but that's kinda wishful thinking, we'll work it 
around on our side. 

Closing this.

[issue21467] IDLE icon not included in Windows installer

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Steve, I am *really* glad you caught this. We obviously need a new test 
somewhere that would have caught this before the release. How is the installer 
tested now? Is it run and the installed python tested with the test suite? If 
so, a new idle test that runs idlelib/idle.(bat, py, pyw) with subprocess, 
detects startup errors, and cleanly shuts down the subprocces, would cover the 
installer.

3.4 is not directly affected because 3.4 Tools/msi/msi.py does not include the 
patched section
 if dir=="Icons":
 lib.glob("*.gif")
+lib.glob("*.ico")
 lib.add_file("idle.icns")
and .gif and .icns are not in the file. Perhaps the change matches a change in 
the build process.

However, new tests should go on all versions.

Marking as low priority.  This patch really isn't worth applying.

If someone wants to starting contributing, there are plenty of useful things to 
do (such as adding docstrings to elementtree).  I don't want to encourage 
non-substantive shallow code churn and eats developer time for no benefit.

>From my point of view, the "benefit" is actually negative because these sort

[issue21439] Numerous minor issues in Language Reference

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

I also don't agree with most of the typographic changes and, like Éric find 
some of the grammar changes to be pedantic.

The OP refers to his own changes as "editorial infelicities".  This should have 
been a warning sign.

The OP further warns, "I have been reading the Language Reference Manual in 
order to teach myself Python 3" which explains why Éric has found " a few 
misunderstandings of Python".

If the OP cares enough to prepare a chapter by chapter patch (as suggested by 
Terry), I would be happy to review them one by one, applying any that are 
actual readability improvements.

[issue21470] Better seeding for the random module

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

The default seeding for the random module currently used 32 bytes from 
urandom() to create the initial state of the random number generator.  This is 
far less than the number of possible states 2**19937-1.

Changing the default seed to a larger number will cover the state space.  This 
gives better security and better randomness by not using just a subset of the 
possible states.

The downside is slightly slower default initialization.

example).

Null byte characters in comments are perfectly valid in ISO8859-1 encoding, and 
a few scripts depend on them:
http://ftp.waf.io/pub/release/waf-1.7.16

Parsing the commented lines is also likely to slow down the parser, so keep 
your hands of it please! There are too many regressions already!

[issue19767] pathlib: iterfiles() and iterdirs()

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Here is a patch with the proposed API. The API for convenience:

def files(self, include_symlinks=True):
"""Iterate over the regular files in this directory.
"""

def subdirs(self, include_symlinks=True):
"""Iterate over the subdirectories in this directory.
"""

[issue21221] Minor struct_time documentation bug

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:

> .. 0 when it is not.  -1 indicates that ..

It does not read well when the sentence starts with a number.  Consider 
rephrasing as "The value of -1 .." or something like that.

[issue20977] pyflakes: undefined "ctype" in 2 except blocks in the email module

It looks like these are just typos, recording defects to ctype objects when it 
should be disp_header and cte_header?  Apologies if it's more complicated than 
that.

[issue21470] Better seeding for the random module

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters added the comment:

+1, although it could really use a comment explaining that 2500 bytes was 
chosen to be >= the Twister's 19937 internal bits of state.  Otherwise it looks 
as arbitrary as 32 did ;-)

[issue21470] Better seeding for the random module

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I'm not sure it is good practice to read that many bytes from /dev/urandom. 
Quoting the Linux man page for /dev/urandom:

   The  kernel random-number generator is designed to produce a small 
amount of
   high-quality seed material to seed a cryptographic pseudo-random number 
gen‐
   erator  (CPRNG).   It  is  designed  for  security, not speed, and is 
poorly
   suited to generating large amounts of random data.   Users  should  be  
very
   economical  in  the amount of seed material that they read from 
/dev/urandom
   (and /dev/random); unnecessarily reading large quantities of data from  
this
   device will have a negative impact on other users of the device.

The (default?) entropy pool size under Linux is 4096 bytes, so reading 2500 
bytes will deplete more than half of it, IIUC. Example:

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize 
4096
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 
516
$ python -c "import os; os.urandom(300)"
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 
160

Also, the repletion rate of the entropy pool seems quite slow actually (around 
10 bytes per second?).

[issue21470] Better seeding for the random module

[Donald Stufft]

Donald Stufft added the comment:

"Depleting the entropy pool" is sort of a nonsense idea that /dev/random has. 
Nobody should ever be worried about it and nobody should ever use /dev/random. 
The manpage is wrong and has continued to be wrong because of historical 
reasons and the people involved not wanting to admit a wart.

Anything that relies on /dev/random isn't well written and is going to randomly 
block for bad reasons. We can pull as many bytes as we want off /dev/urandom 
and just forget that /dev/random or /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail even 
exists.

[issue21467] IDLE icon not included in Windows installer

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Currently it's an entirely manual process, which is something I intend to work 
on for 3.5 and beyond. As far as post-mortem on this issue goes, Martin would 
have found it as well, since I was doing exactly what he said he normally does.

The "real" fix seems to already exist, which is why this only affects 2.7. 
Installers are just one of those things that are difficult to maintain in a 
project with lots of contributors, so the more automation the better. (It also 
helps to have a designated owner, so they can constantly bug people about it 
without having to feel like they're being annoying... I've learned this in my 
day job, where I own most of my team's installers.)

My commit rights are set up and working. Is anyone opposed to me pushing this 
fix?

[issue21425] Interactive interpreter doesn't flush stderr prompty

[eryksun]

eryksun added the comment:

The patch fixes `python 2>&1 | cat.exe` for me on Windows, where cat.exe is 
from GnuWin32. The tests also pass. It looks like failing would entail hanging 
until a timeout.
