[issue12844] Support more than 255 arguments
David Benjamin added the comment: I don't think that patch works. Consider a dict subclass which has overridden update. Or perhaps a list subclass which has overridden addition. It would be quite poor if Python's behavior here w.r.t. which overrides are followed switched as you added more arguments. -- nosy: +davidben ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue12844> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue16112] platform.architecture does not correctly escape argument to /usr/bin/file
New submission from David Benjamin:
The implementation of platform.architecture shells out to the file command. It
tries to escape quotes by replacing " with \", but that's not sufficient.
$ python3.2 -c 'import platform; platform.architecture("foo\\\"; echo Hi there
> /tmp/Z; echo \\\"")' && cat /tmp/Z
Hi there
Here's a patch to make it use subprocess instead. I haven't tested it
thoroughly building everything from trunk and running tests, but I verified it
works by replacing the platform.py in my system Python install.

[issue16112] platform.architecture does not correctly escape argument to /usr/bin/file
David Benjamin added the comment: Well, the theoretical deadlock's just if stdin is also a pipe, right? I think there isn't be a difference between communicate and stdout.read if only stdout is a pipe. Though it might be worth passing DEVNULL to stdin instead of inheriting, just to be tidy. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16112> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue16112] platform.architecture does not correctly escape argument to /usr/bin/file
David Benjamin added the comment: Yes, communicate is needed if you have multiple pipes and need to be careful about both ends doing a blocking reads/writes on different ones. There's only one pipe here. Eh, whatever. If you guys really want to use communicate, I don't really care. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue16112> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue16278] os.rename documentation slightly inaccurate
New submission from David Benjamin:
This is somewhat of a nitpick. os.rename's documentation says "If dst is a
directory, OSError will be raised". On Unix, this isn't completely true. If the
source is a directory and the destination is an empty directory, it'll
overwrite the former with the latter. (Actually if the source is a directory
the inverse is true; if dst is a file, OSError will be raised.)
In [1]: import os
In [2]: os.mkdir("aaa")
In [3]: open("aaa/blah", "w").close()
In [4]: os.mkdir("bbb")
In [5]: os.rename("aaa", "bbb")
In [6]: os.listdir("bbb")
Out[6]: ['blah']
