[issue20741] Documentation archives should be available also in tar.xz format
Éric Araujo added the comment: I don’t think that consistency or standardization really applies here, it’s not like there are tools that want to process both source and doc archives and are broken by the difference in formats. It could be useful to review the formats used and decide if they are still the best choices (maybe zip for universality, tar + modern and well-supported compression for size), but consistency for consistency’s sake is needless churn. -- nosy: +eric.araujo ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue20741> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

New submission from Éric Araujo : >From Serhiy in >https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-...@python.org/thread/QUUBM7DGSXYWBOLZNWOSCQUDALWJIYZF/ > : The output of "python -h" is 104 lines long now.

Both topics are "advanced" and mostly interested for debugging. I suggest to move them out of the main help output. […] Guido: -X opt : implementation-specific option; use -X help to list options. We could also see if we can put the help text for each of the supported -X flags in the table defining these flags […] GvR again: --help-env […] prints info about env vars (new flag) I would enjoy trying to make a patch around next week! -- messages: 408981 nosy: eric.araujo, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: python --help output is too long type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue46142> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue46285] http/server.py wont respect its protocol_version
Éric Araujo added the comment: I understand your report better after looking at the code. There is indeed a protocol_version parameter in the test function (which is really a main function, not test), that sets the protocol attribute on the passed handler class. (The class attribute is changed, which seems like a bug!) The BaseHTTPRequestHandler class does have support for HTTP 1.1 (adds automatic keep-alive). So if we ignore the distraction that OP changed the source code, and imaging instead that they called `test(protocol="HTTP/1.1")`, then there would be a bug if the requests went out as HTTP/1.0.

[issue46285] protocol_version in http.server.test can be ignored
Éric Araujo added the comment: I think we have a valid bug, and you correctly attributed it to the use of partial! (No worry about your English — thank you for reporting the problem here!) To answer your questions: 1) partial: Imagine we have a function with many parameters: def frob(source, target, backup=False): ... and we want to call it many times without passing backup=True every time; we can make a lambda: frob_backup = lambda source, target: frob(source, target, backup=True) # later in the file frob_backup(src1, tgt1) frob_backup(src2, tgt2) or a partial: frob_backup = partial(frob, backup=True) # then frob_backup(src3, tgt3) As you can see, they both work in the same way. They are equivalent ways of making a shortcut to call a function with some parameters pre-defined. When called, the lambda will call the frob function and return its return value. When called, the partial object will call the frob function and return its return value. 2) closures: Closures are variables that are resolved in the parent scope (namespace) of the normal scope. A function (including a function created by a lambda) can have closures. def make_callback(backup_default): callback = lambda source, target: frob(source, target, backup_default) return callback Here when callback is called, the backup_default variable is not found in the local variables of the callback function, but in the scope of make_callback. It will be true or false depending on how make_callback was called. 3) http.server.test There aren’t any closures in http.server.test; the issue is that HandlerClass (defined in the `if name is main` block and passed to `test`) is a proper handler class in one case, or a partial object! So inside test, setting attributes on the passed handler class will do nothing if that class is actually a partial instance. When it is called, it will return an instance of SimpleHttpRequestHandler, which won’t see the protocol attribute that we wanted. Conclusion: - maybe we should pass all parameters to test instead of smuggling through params - setting class attributes seems fishy to me - cgi handler and regular handler should have the same features (see #46436) -- nosy: +Jelle Zijlstra resolution: not a bug -> stage: resolved -> needs patch status: closed -> open title: http/server.py wont respect its protocol_version -> protocol_version in http.server.test can be ignored versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.9 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue46285> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

In other words we are fixing an issue that a wrong target is used, but we should not be linking for a target at all, this is the target. So if we can’t use the equivalent of directives function, module, etc (that define the targets of func, mod, etc), then maybe they should be just ``name``, not :role:`name`. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue46586> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue46337] urllib.parse: Allow more flexibility in schemes and URL resolution behavior
Éric Araujo added the comment: I remember a discussion about this years ago. urllib is a module that pre-dates the idea of universal parsing for URIs, where the delimiters (like ://) are enough to determine the parts of a URI and give them meaning (host, port, user, path, etc). Backward compat for urllib is always a concern; someone said at the time that it could be good to have a new module for modern, generic parsing, but that hasn’t happened. Maybe a new parse function, or new parameter to the existing one, could be easier to add. -- nosy: +brett.cannon, eric.araujo, lukasz.langa, orsenthil versions: +Python 3.11 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue46337> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

All is fair in debugging. * Automating troubleshooting - emacs/vim quickfix (mode that runs tests and open faulty files at the right line) === Using a Debugger - pdb intro that does not duplicate what’s in library/pdb.rst - definitions (breakpoint, etc.) === Debugging C code (just a few pointers, this could have a whole howto in itself) - running Python in gdb - using faulthandler Links to add somewhere: traceback module, cgitb -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12913> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
