[issue46730] Please consider mentioning property without setter when an attribute can't be set

2022-02-12 Thread Alexander


Alexander  added the comment:

Indeed, the error message does not help to identify the problem. Moreover, it 
collides with similar errors in namedtuple and DynamicClassAttribute which may 
lead to even more confusion.

I made a draft patch that could help with it 
(https://github.com/Alex-Blade/cpython/commit/06df3a72dfe462c8fe4eac60dce0ef059b1738f8),
 but I have a concern related to backwards compatibility (that's why no PR). I 
don't really understand if according to PEP 387 a change in an exception 
message should be considered compatibility breaking?

[issue25297] max_help_position is not works in argparse library

2015-10-02 Thread Alexander

New submission from Alexander:

Hi colleagues I have the code (max_help_position is 2000):

formatter_class=lambda prog: argparse.HelpFormatter(prog, 
max_help_position=2000)
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=formatter_class)


subparsers = parser.add_subparsers(title="Commands", metavar="")

cmd_parser = subparsers.add_parser('long_long_long_long_long_long_long',
   help='- jksljdalkjda',
   formatter_class=formatter_class)

args = parser.parse_args(['-h'])
print args

Result:

we have

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Commands:
  
long_long_long_long_long_long_long
  - jksljdalkjda
small - descr

instead

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Commands:
  
long_long_long_long_long_long_long - jksljdalkjda
small  - descr

The code:

class MyFormatter(argparse.HelpFormatter):
def __init__(self, prog):
super(MyFormatter, self).__init__(prog, max_help_position=2000, 
width=2000)
self._max_help_position = 2000
self._action_max_length += 4

got same result.

The strings like:

formatter_class = lambda prog: argparse.HelpFormatter(prog,
  max_help_position=2000, width=2000)

formatter_class = lambda prog: argparse.HelpFormatter(prog,
  max_help_position=1000, width=2000)

formatter_class = lambda prog: argparse.HelpFormatter(prog,
  max_help_position=2000, width=1000)

got same result: we always have new line after command.

[issue44665] asyncio.create_task() documentation should mention user needs to keep reference to the task

2022-01-06 Thread Alexander Hartl


Alexander Hartl  added the comment:

I just found this PR when a task of mine spontaneously crashed with a "Task was 
destroyed but it is pending" in the middle of program execution.

I think the warning should be added to `loop.create_task()`, too. Not sure if 
`loop.call_later()` and `loop.call_at()` are also affected?

I think it would be a good idea to add the fire-and-forget example that @bernat 
gave. At the moment, stackoverflow is full of suggestions to just use 
`create_task()` in this case, ignoring the return value. Actually, I think it 
is a true shortcoming that asyncio doesn't provide a fire-and forget 
functionality by itself.

Your patch seems to reflow the entire paragraph which makes it hard to
review and if applied will appear as a bigger change than it is.  Can
you regenerate the patch so that it does not have whitespace only

This is simply wrong: in py3k we have the timezone class that
implements tzinfo interface.

I would go one step further: we should review the examples in datetime
module documentation and use aware datetime objects unless the point
of the example is to demonstrate a naive datetime.  We should also
replace examples that use sample implementations of tzinfo to use the
timezone class.

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

-There are two kinds of date and time objects: "naive" and "aware". This
+Date and time objects are either "naive" or "aware". This

Shouldn't we say "datetime and time" instead of "date and time"?
There is no tzinfo attribute in date objects.

Yes, but one cannot convert "back" from date to datetime.  To get a
datetime object, one needs to combine date and time and tzinfo is
attached to the time component.

> In this case it should mentioned IMO.

I agree.  The following is not really intuitive:

-> None

In order to preserve tzinfo, one has to preserve it when extracting
the time component:

-> datetime.timezone.utc

[issue13171] Bug in tempfile module

2011-10-13 Thread Alexander Steppke

New submission from Alexander Steppke :

The tempfile module shows strange behavior under certain conditions. This might 
lead to data leaking or other problems. 

The test session looks as follows:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tempfile
>>> tmp = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
>>> tmp.read()
''
>>> tmp.write('test')
>>> tmp.read()
'P\xf6D\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\ [ommitted]'

or similar behavior in text mode: 

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on 
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tempfile
>>> tmp = tempfile.TemporaryFile('w+t')
>>> tmp.read()
''
>>> tmp.write('test')
>>> tmp.read()
'\x00\xa5\x8b\x02int or long, hash(a) is used instead.\ni\x10 [ommitted]'
>>> tmp.seek(0)
>>> tmp.readline()
'test\x00\xa5\x8b\x02int or long, hash(a) is used instead.\n'

This bug seems to be triggered by calling tmp.read() before tmp.seek(). I am 
running Python 2.7.2 on Windows 7 x64, other people have reproduced the problem 
on Windows XP but not under Linux or Cygwin (see also 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7757663/python-tempfile-broken-or-am-i-doing-it-wrong).

Thank you for looking into this.

[issue13171] Bug in tempfile module

2011-10-14 Thread Alexander Steppke

Alexander Steppke  added the comment:

Hi David,

I followed your suggestion and tried to reproduce the problem without the 
tempfile module. It turns out that is indeed an underlying issue. I am not sure 
what the root cause is but now this is even a bigger problem: read() returns 
information from some file/memory that it was never intended to access. 

The session looks similar to the tempfile session:

>>> tmp = open('tmp', 'w+t')
>>> tmp.read()
''
>>> tmp.write('test')
>>> tmp.read()
'hp\'\x02\xe4\xb9>7\x80\x88\x81\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x12\x00\x00\
x00\xe86(\x02p\x11\x8d\x02\x01\x00\x00\x00@\xfd)\x02\xe7Y\x9aN\x01\x00\x00\x00\x
00\x00\x00\x00\x14\x00\x00\x00\x087(\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\xe9Y\x0b\xa2\x00\x93+\x
02\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x9b,\x02\x02\x00\x00\x00\xe06(\x02\xc0W5\

At the moment the bug could only be reproduced using CPython 2.7.1 on Windows 
XP and Windows 7.

[issue13171] Bug in file.read(), can access unknown data.

2011-10-14 Thread Alexander Steppke

Alexander Steppke  added the comment:

Additionally after calling tmp.close() the file 'tmp' contains the string 
'test', which is followed by about 4kB of binary data similar to the previous 
output of tmp.read().

[issue13171] Bug in file.read(), can access unknown data.

2011-10-14 Thread Alexander Steppke

Alexander Steppke  added the comment:

Thank you for the update Victor. It seems to me that this is exactly the same 
issue.

At the moment the current documentation says 
(http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#bltin-file-objects):

"Note: This function is simply a wrapper for the underlying fread() C function, 
and will behave the same in corner cases, such as whether the EOF value is 
cached."

This is a hint to the current behavior but I would not expect from this that 
file.read() can return any kind of data, if used directly after file.write(). 
Maybe one could include a link or a snippet of the C standard which states that 
one shall not do this:

"When a file is opened with update mode ('+' as the second or third character 
in the above list of mode argument values), both input and output may be 
performed on the associated stream. However, output shall not be directly 
followed by input without an intervening call to the fflush function or to a 
file positioning function (fseek, fsetpos, or rewind), and input shall not be 
directly followed by output without an
intervening call to a file positioning function, unless the input operation 
encounters end-of-file."

[issue13260] distutils and cross-compiling the extensions

2011-10-24 Thread Alexander Myodov

New submission from Alexander Myodov :

I was recently trying to cross-compile several extensions (host: Linux, target: 
Win32) using mingw-gcc, and noticed that there is quite a little amount of 
changes needed to distutils code to at least make proper win32-compabible 
modules.

Some of them require pretty noticeable functionality changes to distutils 
(like, adding a new option) thus they are unlikely a target for 2.7 anymore 
(though with some luck, any person who wants to follow my way and do 
cross-compilation, may just subclass the existing code). But some others are 
obvious bugs, and their fixes may still be useful for users stuck at 2.7.

1. (This is dubious but still is related to the problem, and was required to 
build some of the modules). "--include-dirs" and "--library-dirs" options to 
build_ext command support multiple paths separated by os.pathsep. For some 
reason (which I may be unaware of) "--libraries" option doesn't. A tiny fix 
just adds this support.

2. (more obvious issue) get_msvcr() function in distutils/cygwincompiler.py 
tries to guess the C runtime library which the target extension should link to. 
To do that, it tests the Python where the setup.py is *running* for what 
library it was linked to. But when the compilation target is Win32 but the 
compilation host is Linux, the hosts's Python won't contain such information. 
In this case, this function will return None. The result then gets assigned to 
self.dll_libraries (in an instance of CygwinCCompiler or Mingw32CCompiler), and 
gets used in a context which implies it is always an iterable 
(libraries.extend(self.dll_libraries)).

These changes, together with altering or subclassing Mingw32CCompiler to use a 
different compiler name (like, "i586-mingw32msvc-gcc" instead of "gcc"), make 
it possible to cross-compile a number of extensions which were non-compileable 
before.

[issue13268] assert

2011-10-26 Thread Alexander Myodov

New submission from Alexander Myodov :

The extended version of assert statement has a strange violation of documented 
behaviour.

According to the 
http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-assert-statement, 
"assert expression1, expression2" should be equivalent to "if __debug__: if not 
expression1: raise AssertionError(expression2)". Nevertheless, it is not so for 
the following scenario:

class A(object):
def __str__(self):
return "str"
def __unicode__(self):
return "unicode"
def __repr__(self):
return "repr"

expression1 = False
expression2 = (A(),)

That is, when expression2 is a single-item tuple, assert statement prints the 
str-evaluation of the item itself, rather than of the tuple.

This occurs in 2.x branch only, seems fixed in 3.x, and it would be great to 
have it backported for consistency.

[issue13556] When tzinfo.utcoffset is out-of-bounds, the exception message is misleading

2012-01-03 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

Is 3.3 message better?

>>> datetime.now(tz=X())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ValueError: offset must be a timedelta strictly between -timedelta(hours=24) 
and timedelta(hours=24).

In 2.7, the message is indeed misleading:

>>> datetime.now(tz=X())
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
ValueError: tzinfo.utcoffset() returned 1440; must be in -1439 .. 1439

I am not sure fixing this in 2.x is worth the trouble, but I would consider 
improving the message in 3.x by adding information about the actual offset.  I 
vaguely remember that there was a reason for leaving that info out in 3.x.

This is a perfect defense.  Local consistency usually trumps global

More specifically, strftime/strptime directives are listed in a table
inside the the Doc/library/datetime.rst file.  Note that the narrative
before the table says that only C89 standard codes are listed and I
don't think %V and %u are standard.  Check if there is an applicable
standard for them - C99 and POSIX define more codes that C89.

[issue8887] “pydoc str” works but not “pydoc str.translate”

2011-05-27 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

The patch looks good.  A nit-pick:

+if len(parts) > 0:

Since *parts* is a list, the above can be replaced with simply "if parts:".

Also, it seems to me that the new code may produce an AttributeError when given 
invalid name, but locate() function is supposed to return None instead.

I wouder if it would be possible to reuse the try/except logic ing the "if 
module" clause and simply do something like

if module:
object = module
else:
object = builtins
for part in parts[n:]:
try:
object = getattr(object, part)
except AttributeError:
return None
return object

I support this idea in theory, but as long as decimal is implemented
in Python, os module should probably expose a low level (tuple-based?)
interface and a higher level module would provide Decimal-based
high-precision time.

BTW, what is the status of cdecimal?

One reason is the desire to avoid loading Python module from a
C-module.  I understand that this ship has already left the port with
larger and larger portions of stdlib being implemented in Python, but
doing that in a basic module such as os (or rather posix) is likely to
cause more problems than what we have in other similar situation.  For
example, strptime is implemented in a Python module loaded by time and
datetime implemented in C.  This works, but at a cost of extreme
trickery in the test suit and similar problems encountered by
sophisticated applications.  As far as I remember, some multi-threding
issues have never been resolved.

Can you elaborate on this?  I did notice the current trend of mixing
software layers and welcoming circular dependencies in Python stdlib,
but I am not sure this is a good thing.  In the good old times imports
inside functions where frowned upon.  (And for many good reasons.)
Imports from inside C functions seem to be even worse.  Tricks like
this greatly reduce understandability of the code.  The import
statements at the top of the module tell a great deal about what the
module can and cannot do.  When modules can be imported at will as a
side-effect of innocuous looking functions (time.strptime is my
personal pet peeve), analysis of the programs becomes much more
difficult.

> claim are irrelevant in this case.

It is hard to tell without attempting an implementation, but my
intuition is exactly the opposite.  I believe parts of the import
mechanism have been implemented in Python and it seems to me that
os.stat() may need to be available before decimal can be imported.

This is actually a duplicate of issue7915.

I don't think there is nothing we can do to improve the situation.  In fact 
discussion at #11949 ends with a +0 from Mark Dickinson to issue a warning 
whenever nans participate in order comparison. Discussion at #11986 ends 
without any clear consensus.  I think we should keep at least one issue on this 
topic open rather than close new issues as invalid by referring users to older 
closed issues that don't explain why silently producing nonsensical results is 
better than raising an error or issuing a warning.

Not quite.  This is an inherent flaw of expressing time in time zones
with DST adjustments.  Yet even if there was no DST, using local time
for file timestamps is inconvenient because you cannot easily compare
timestamps across systems.  This is similar to using locale encoding
instead of Unicode.  However this flaw does not affect timestamps
expressed in UTC.  UTC is sort of Unicode (or maybe UTF-8) of
timezones.

Mathematically speaking, broken down UTC timestamp is equivalent to
"seconds since the epoch, as a real number".  There are relatively
simple mathematical formulas (defined by POSIX) that convert from one
representation to the other and back.  As long as "real number" and
broken down structure contain the sub-second data to the same
precision, the two representations are mathematically equivalent.  In
practice one representation may be more convenient than the other.
(This is somewhat similar to decimal vs. binary representation of real
numbers.) When performance is an issue "real numbers" may be more
optimal than broken down structures, but in most applications
datetime/timedelta objects are easier to deal with than abstract
numbers.

I am not sure I understand this.  ISO timestamps are not more
difficult to parse than decimal numbers.  I don't think Python
supports partial timestamps and certainly partial timestamps would not
be appropriate for representing os.stat() fields.

[issue10542] Py_UNICODE_NEXT and other macros for surrogates

2011-08-16 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

The code review links point to something weird.  Victor, can you upload your 
patch for review?

My first impression is that your patch does not accomplish much beyond 
replacing some literal expressions with macros.  What I wanted to achieve with 
this issue was to enable writing code without #ifdef Py_UNICODE_WIDE branches.  
In your patch these branches seem to still be there and in fact it appears that 
new code is longer than the old one (I am not sure why, but I see more '+' than 
'-'s in your patch.)

2011-08-16 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

No.  Seconds since the epoch is neither local nor UTC.  It is just an elapsed 
number of seconds since an agreed upon time called the "epoch".  

I would say: "Return the current time as a floating point number representing 
the number of seconds elapsed since the epoch."  Suggestions for a shorter 
formulation that would not change the meaning are welcome.  Maybe "Return the 
number of seconds elapsed since the epoch as a floating point number."

[issue12750] datetime.datetime how to correctly attach a timezone to an existing naive datetime

> (which is what the docs imply to me)

I don't understand your issue.  The replace method does not assume anything, it 
just replaces whatever fields you specify with new values.  You can replace 
tzinfo just like any other field, year, month, day, etc while preserving the 
other fields.  I think this is fairly well documented. I think what you are 
looking for is the astimezone() method which, however may not work well on 
naive datetime instances simply because a naive instance may be ambiguous in 
presence of DST.  However, if you start with an aware UTC datetime, you should 
be able to use astimezone() to convert to any local TZ.

Yes, strftime('%s') ignores tzinfo at the moment.  This is not a bug. Support

Nevertheless I think this is a good feature request.  I am changing the title

[issue12772] fractional day attribute in datetime class

2011-08-19 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

You can easily get the fractional day value using existing functionality:


>>> from datetime import *
>>> (datetime(2011,8,15,18,30) -  datetime(2011,8,13,12,0)) / timedelta(1)
2.27083335
>>> (datetime(2011,8,15,18,30) -  datetime(1970,1,1)) / timedelta(1)
15201.77083334

In some sense this request is a duplicate of issue2736.

[issue12831] 2to3 and integer division

2011-08-24 Thread Alexander Rødseth

New submission from Alexander Rødseth :

Hi,

2to3 is a great tool, but I think I found one case it doesn't catch, which is 
this change:

-half = self.maxstars / 2
+half = self.maxstars // 2

"/ 2" is an integer division, so it should be "// 3" in Python 3.

Thanks.

[issue12831] 2to3 and integer division

2011-08-26 Thread Alexander Rødseth

Alexander Rødseth  added the comment:

Even though it's hard to cover every case, it should be possible in quite a few 
cases:

self.maxstars = 4
half = self.maxstars / 2

[issue12885] distutils.filelist.findall() fails on broken symlink in Py2.x

2011-09-02 Thread Alexander Dutton

New submission from Alexander Dutton :

If there are any broken symlinks in the same directory as a setup.py when e.g. 
sdist is run, findall() will fall over when attempting to os.stat() the symlink:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 81, in run
_sdist.run(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/command/sdist.py", line 144, in run
self.get_file_list()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/command/sdist.py", line 238, in 
get_file_list
self.filelist.findall()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/filelist.py", line 47, in findall
self.allfiles = findall(dir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/distutils/filelist.py", line 297, in findall
stat = os.stat(fullname)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'debian/tmp/usr/share/somepath/somesymlink'

Solutions would include replacing the call to os.stat() with one to os.lstat() 
(probably backwards-incompatible), or trying one and then the other.

This bug is present in Pythons 2.6.6 (Debian 6.0.2) and 2.7 (Fedora 14).

When attempting to reproduce in Python 3.1.2 (on Fedora) no error was 
encountered. However, looking at distutils/filelist.py, the same unadulterated 
call to os.stat() is present. I'll presume that for whatever reason distutils 
in Py3.1.2 never has cause to stat my broken symlink.

[issue12885] distutils.filelist.findall() fails on broken symlink in Py2.x

2011-09-04 Thread Alexander Dutton

Alexander Dutton  added the comment:

I've come across it as I'm creating a Debian package of the Python package in 
the same tree — I'm happy to be told this is a Bad Idea and that they should be 
in different places.

The broken symlinks are relative and in debian/tmp, and will point to locations 
provided by other Debian packages once my package is installed in the right 
location.

FWIW, I'm getting round it at the moment by walking the directory tree and 
removing the files is os.path.islink(filename) and not 
os.path.exists(os.path.join(filename, os.readlink(filename))).

I'm happy to provide tests and a patch if necessary.

[issue11457] Expose nanosecond precision from system calls

If history repeats, struct stat will grow new st_xtimesuperspec
fields, st_xtimespec will become a macro expanding to
st_xtimesuperspec.tv_picosec and we will get a request to support that
in os.stat().  I don't see why this conflicts with
stat_result.st_xtimespec returning a (sec, nsec) tuple.  If we will
ever have to support higher resolution,  stat_result will grow another
member with a (sec, picosec) or whatever will be appropriate value.

Same thing.

Unlikely, but C API will dictate Python API if this happens.

On the second thought, this won't work.  To support higher resolution
will need to supply 3 fields in st_xtimesuperspec: tv_sec and tv_nsec
packed in st_xtimespec (say tv_timespec) and new tv_psec field.
st_xtime will now be   st_xtimesuperspec.tv_timespec.tv_sec and
st_xtimespec will be a new macro expanding to
st_xtimesuperspec.tv_timespec.  The rest of my argument still holds.

It is explicit about the units of time used.  If we use named tuples
and retain C API field names, stat_result.tv_atimespec.tv_sec will
clearly mean number of seconds and stat_result.tv_atimespec.tv_nsec
will clearly mean nanoseconds.  Even if we use plain tuples, the
convention will be obvious to someone familiar with C API.  And
familiarity with C API is expected from users of os module, IMO.
Those who need higher level abstractions should use higher level
modules.

This discussion is now off-topic for the python bug tracker.  Please
ask questions on how to use python in an appropriate  forum such as
python-list.

The problem you have uncovered only occurs if fork() is called
*during* module import.  If you place fork() in a function, it will
not be called when you import the module or the function, - only when
you call the function.

[issue9574] complex does not parse strings containing decimals

2010-08-12 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

Current behavior is also consistent with that of fractions:

>>> Fraction("1/2")
Fraction(1, 2)
>>> Fraction("1 / 2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ..
ValueError: Invalid literal for Fraction: '1 / 2'

I am -1 on this RFE.  At most, this can be clarified in the docs.

Allowing whitespace involves too much uncertainly.  Would you allow any white 
space or just chr(0x20)?  End-of-line or tab in complex numbers is most likely 
a typo and should be flagged.  What about more exotic unicode whitespace such 
as chr(0x00A0) or chr(0x2009)?  Allow one or any number of whitespace 
characters?

Users who need a more powerful parser can use eval() or simply remove spaces 
from their strings before converting them to numbers.

I opened issue9598 for the untabify bug.  For the purposes of source checking, 
I believe non-ascii characters should be disallowed in python C source code.  
According to my understanding of C89 standard, interpretation of characters

[issue665761] reduce() masks exception

2010-08-16 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

Committed to py3k in r84098.   Accepting this change for py3k was an easy 
decision to make because zip and map already behave this way in 3.x.

I am inclined to reject this for 2.7, however.  While I agree that this is a 
bug, fixing it has a potential of breaking users' code.  I also note that for 
zip and map, 2.7 users can switch to izip and imap which don't have this 
problem.  Arguably, switching to izip and imap in new code is a good idea 
regardless of this issue.  While there is no similar work-around for reduce, I 
don't think this bug is important enough to introduce backward incompatible 
change in the stable series.

[issue1545463] New-style classes fail to cleanup attributes

2010-08-18 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

This is superseded by issue812369, but as a stop-gap measure, I don't see any 
downside of applying gc-import.patch.

[issue9650] format codes in time.strptime docstrings

2010-08-20 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

> Is there any reason not to include the strftime formatting codes
> in the docstrings of time.strftime and time.strptime? 

I believe the reason is that time.strftime behavior is platform dependent, so 
"man strftime" is likely to produce more relevant documentation than "pydoc 
time.strftime".  Python manual 
<http://docs.python.org/library/time.html?#time.strftime> lists ANSI C codes, 
but warns that "Additional directives may be supported on certain platforms, 
but only the ones listed here have a meaning standardized by ANSI C."  It is 
likely that there are platforms where ANSI C subset does not behave in a fully 
compliant manner.

[issue9598] untabify.py fails on files that contain non-ascii characters

2010-09-03 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

> If untabify fails because a file has an incorrect encoding, is it really
> a problem in untabify? This is a developer’s tool, so getting a
> traceback here seems okay to me.

I disagree.  I think we should use this opportunity to clarify preferred 
encoding for C language source files in python and make untabify produce 
meaningful diagnostic in case of encoding errors.

As a matter of policy, I see two possibilities:

1. Restrict C sources to 7-bit ASCII.  (A pedantic reading of ANSI C standard 
would probably suggest even more restricted character set, but practically, I 
don't think 7-bit ASCII in C comments is likely to cause problems for any tools.

2. Require UTF-8 encoding for non-ASCII characters.  Given that this is the 
default for python source code, it is likely that tools that are used for 
python development can handle UTF-8.

My vote is for #1.  Display of non-ascii characters is still not universally 
supported and they are likely to be clobbered when diffs are copied in e-mails 
etc.

[issue9598] untabify.py fails on files that contain non-ascii characters

2010-09-03 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

> I wouldn’t want to see names of authors/contributors mangled
> in the source.

This is a reason to write names in ASCII.   While Latin-1 is a grey area 
because most of it's characters look familiar to English-speaking developers, I 
don't think you will easily recognize my name if I write it in Cyrillic and 
even if you do, chances are you would not be able to search for it.  On the 
other hand, everyone who uses e-mail is likely to have a preferred ASCII 
spelling of his/her name.

[issue9598] untabify.py fails on files that contain non-ascii characters

2010-09-07 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

>From IRC:

Me: UTF-8 was not strictly valid in ANSI C comments, so it is a bug in untabify 
to assume UTF-8 in C files.

Merwok: Works for me.

I am lowering the priority because it looks like untabify does not fail on the 
current code base.  I'll follow up on python-dev to find out whether ASCII or 
UTF-8 should be enforced by untabify.

Since untabify works by loading C code as text, it has to assume some
encoding.   Failing with uncaught decode error (as it currently does
on non UTF-8 source) is not very user friendly.  For example, the
diagnostic does not report the position of the offending character and
does not explain how to fix the source.

Yes,  VCS hook makes sense (and may almost eliminate the need to
handle invalid bytestreams in untabify).  The hard question is still
the same, though: are non-ascii characters allowed in python C code?
My answer is "no".

[issue9811] strftime strips '%' from unknown format codes on OS X

2010-09-09 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

> I think there have been some rumblings about writing our own strftime

Yes, see issue #3173.

Another related issue is #9650 which discusses how to properly document 
strftime codes.

[issue1475397] time.asctime_tz, time.strftime %z %C

2010-09-13 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

Would issue9527 address your request?  Note that datetime.strftime already 
supports %z:

>>> from datetime import *
>>> datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime('%c %z')
'Mon Sep 13 13:43:19 2010 +'

(I assume you meant to write %c, not %C.)

[issue9323] trace.py bug with the main file being traced

2010-09-13 Thread Alexander Belopolsky

Alexander Belopolsky  added the comment:

>  The full path *could* be easily passed, but I think we should
> address this problem from regrtest.py's side.

I disagree.  There may be other scripts that rely on __main__.__file__ being an 
absolute path and we cannot require everyone to change their assumptions to 
make their scripts traceable.

It looks like absolute path assumption was added by Florent in r78723 (r78719 
in trunk).  Florent, I would like to hear from you before deciding how to 
proceed.  See also issue #7712.
