[Python-Dev] x86 XP trunk failure
Hi all, My build slave (http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/x86%20XP%20trunk) keeps failing because of a crash that appears to be in the bsddb module. I assume the master deems the slave to be lost because it's sitting there waiting on me to make a choice on the "debug/abort" dialog box. I can provide details if anybody needs them. I just figured somebody might want to know that this is actual build/test problem instead of some kind of issue with the internet connection here.

I see. Currently, sphinx is not ready to be used by other projects, at least not in conjunction with tools like epydoc. (You should, however, be able to create a rst document hierarchy like Python's and use sphinx for it.) As soon as all needs for the Python documentation are fulfilled, I'll think about how to make the toolset available for other projects.

It's the trunk; at the moment the debugger is sitting there with python_d.exe at a breakpoint. The current instance of python_d being debugged is only a day or so old. I don't know when this problem started happening, but I think it's been a while (it was happening for all the visible builds on the dashboard when I first noticed it a day or two ago). > For crashes in 3.0, there should not be any such dialogs anymore, but > there may have been before I turned them off. > > > I can provide details if anybody needs them.

Re: [Python-Dev] frozenset C API?
> The hierarchy information does not appear to be preserved. But it only appears so. OpenSSL does not know how to render it properly (hence I say it is not very common in PKI), but they started supporting that when generating certificates, with the -multivalue-rdn option for req, and if you do openssl asn1parse -in ca1.crt you see that they differ: (ca1) l= 17 cons: SEQUENCE l= 10 prim: OBJECT:domainComponent l= 3 prim: IA5STRING :org l= 22 cons: SET l= 20 cons: SEQUENCE l= 10 prim: OBJECT:domainComponent l= 6 prim: IA5STRING :python l= 12 cons: SET l= 10 cons: SEQUENCE l= 3 prim: OBJECT:commonName l= 3 prim: PRINTABLESTRING :foo l= 12 cons: SET l= 10 cons: SEQUENCE l= 3 prim: OBJECT:commonName l= 3 prim: PRINTABLESTRING :bar (ca2) l= 17 cons: SEQUENCE l= 10 prim: OBJECT:domainComponent l= 3 prim: IA5STRING :org l= 22 cons: SET l= 20 cons: SEQUENCE l= 10 prim: OBJECT:domainComponent l= 6 prim: IA5STRING :python l= 26 cons: SET l= 11 cons: SEQUENCE l= 3 prim: OBJECT:commonName l= 4 prim: PRINTABLESTRING :bar2 l= 11 cons: SEQUENCE l= 3 prim: OBJECT:commonName l= 4 prim: PRINTABLESTRING :foo2 In the first case, foo and bar are in different sets, in the second case, they are in the same set. For people concerned about security, that makes a difference. If OpenSSL actually supports that in its APIs, my proposal would be to make a multi-valued RDN a more-than-two-tuple, e.g. (('DC','org'),('DC','python'),('CN','bar2','CN','foo2')) That would make it possible to distinguish the names (pun intended), yet still don't produce structural overhead for the normal case of single-valued RDNs.

Yup, got it. I don't see a way in the OpenSSL library functions I'm using (X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_object, X509_NAME_ENTRY_get_data) to distinguish between different RDNs, but I'll take a look at the source for X509_NAME_print_ex, which does seem to be able to do this.

There's a field on the X509_NAME_ENTRY struct which gives the level. OK, I can make it a tuple (list of RDNs) of tuples (one for each RDN) of tuples (one for each attribute in the RDN).

As nobody actually uses multi-valued RDNs, an option would be to make single tuple for each RDN, containing all attributes, with alternatingly type and value. Then, a single-valued RDN would turn out as a key-value pair (two-tuple), a multi-valued RDN would have a length of 2*number-of-attributes. As for accessor functions, I'd then rather see a get_attr_by_type, returning a list of all values of attributes of that type, across all RDNs in the DN (empty if no attribute was found). People would then do x = get_attr_by_type(subj, ssl.commonName) if len(x) != 1: unsupported_certificate() CN = x[0] Regards, Martin ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

[Python-Dev] Errors in the csv module reader/writer methods - new w/ change to rst?
I was just looking for some csv DictWriter examples for a colleague at work and was myself confused by the apparent transformation which took place in the Reader Objects and Writer Objects sections. Each of the methods is now prefixed by "csv.csvreader." or "csv.csvwriter." Neither expression was previously defined in that section. Those undefined expressions are not in the old versions of the documentation, e.g.: http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.4/lib/node634.html http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.4/lib/node635.html http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/node265.html http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/node266.html I don't think they add anything useful to the documentation. Were they added just for the csv module (and possibly a few others) or was this a change to the entire libref documentation? That is, was this some sort of policy change? Can they be removed?

Re: [Python-Dev] frozenset C API?
All of this makes me think that some folks may want to do more processing on certificates with more advanced tools, and for that they will need access to the full bits of the certificate. I'll add the ability to retrieve that as well. I'm wondering if I should try to pull some extension attributes out of the cert, and add them to the dict, as well. Like subjectAltName, for instance.

I think there may actually be an issue here, if only with the tests, even though 3.0 does suppress the dialog. I think I started noticing this in the first build after bringing my buildbot online, so I think on Sep 1. I had manually done on a build on Aug 28 (running the buildbot batch file interactively) without the problem, but I haven't been able to find any relevant source tree changes in that interval. Re-fetching from that date has the problem, and I had blown away my older tree when starting up the buildbot officially (of course :-(). At least for me, it's happening on 2.5 and trunk (hard to tell about 3.0, but that's dying without a dialog), so I thought it might have been something backported. But it also appears common to more platforms than just Windows - it's just Windows that pops up that dialog. In my case, the actual dialog doesn't pop up until the end of the tests, and it seems to be occurring only if test_bsddb3 has run during the tests. On other platforms, it just shows up as a warning message, which doesn't serve to mark the tests as failing (e.g., OS X and FreeBSD) - at the of the test you get a message of: warning: DBTxn aborted in destructor. No prior commit() or abort(). which I tracked back to an abort() call within the bsddb library as final destruction is happening at Python exit. (When clearing the test_bsddb module, and the bsddb wrapper tries to access a log file related to an open transaction). So perhaps there's an issue with how one or more of the tests are constructed, or cleanup or something. I haven't narrowed it down further yet though. As with Alan, more details are available as needed. While it seems to show up in the full test run on more platforms, I have a harder time forcing it by just running test_bsddb3 on FreeBSD, for example, while I get the dialog consistently on Windows. -- David ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

For those more familiar with bsddb, it's the test_1413192.py module in lib/bsddb/test that tickles the problem. It should have been more obvious, since I saw the 1413192 in the module name during exit cleanup, but mentally ignored it as an internal identifier of some sort. The test module clearly leaves an open transaction, but also purges its working directory, so maybe that's why the log file is missing. But since the test was specifically against object destruction, I'm not sure how best to restructure (maybe make env_name into a class that only prunes the directory in __del__? Although that would affect GC and thus destruction order too). This test has been around a bit, but the pruning of the directory was backported recently, which is probably the source of the problems. -- David ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Re: [Python-Dev] x86 XP trunk failure
> warning: DBTxn aborted in destructor. No prior commit() or abort(). I have seen these as well. bsddb isn't very forgiving when you have a Python exception inside a bsddb transaction, in the test suite. IIRC, the exception will abort the transaction, then the unittest fixture teardown will close the environment, and that will cause a bsddb crash because something is getting released that does not exist anymore. When I last looked at it, I did not see an easy way to fix it; contributions are welcome.

One thing I tried that seems to work fairly well for this case is to encapsulate much of the module-level code in the test into a class instance. That way the module-level code can instantiate and destroy the class instance rather than waiting for the interpreter exit for the latter. It definitely resolves this current issue, but when I reverted the changes to _bsddb.c that were originally made in conjunction with this test, it still seemed to pass the test. So I tried the reverted module with the original test code and it still passes. So I'm not entirely sure that the test is enforcing anything at this point, or at least I'm not sure how to be absolutely positive that the change will continue to enforce what the existing code used to test. But I can open a ticket with the proposed changes if that would help. -- David ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

[Python-Dev] Google spreadsheet to collaborate on backporting Py3K stuff to 2.6
Neal, Anthony, Thomas W., and I have a spreadsheet that was started to keep track of what needs to be done in what needs to be done in 2.6 for Py3K transitioning: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pCKY4oaXnT81FrGo3ShGHGg . I am opening the spreadsheet up to everyone so that others can help maintain it. There is a sheet in the Python 3000 Tasks spreadsheet that should be merged into this spreadsheet and then deleted. If anyone wants to help with that it would be great (once something has been moved from "Python 3000 Tasks" to "Python 2 -> 3 transition" just delete it from "Python 3000 Tasks"). Because Neal created this spreadsheet he is the only one who can open editing to everyone. If you would like to have edit abilities to the spreadsheet just reply to this email saying you want an invite and I will add you manually (and if you want a different address added just say so). -Brett ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Simpler to provide them all, though I should note that the purpose of the information provided here is mainly for authorization/accounting purposes, not for "other" use of the certificate. If that's desired, they should pull the binary form of the certificate (there's an interface for that), and use M2Crypto or PyOpenSSL to decode it in general. This certificate has already been validated; the issue is how to get critical information to the app so it can make authorization decisions (like subjectAltName when the subject field is empty). Reporting non-critical extensions like "extended key usage" is nifty, but seems pointless. Here's an example: {'extensions': {'Netscape Cert Type': u'SSL Server'}, 'issuer': ((('countryName', u'US'),), (('stateOrProvinceName', u'Delaware'),), (('localityName', u'Wilmington'),), (('organizationName', u'Python Software Foundation'),), (('organizationalUnitName', u'SSL'),), (('commonName', u'somemachine.python.org'),)), 'notAfter': 'Feb 16 16:54:50 2013 GMT', 'notBefore': 'Aug 27 16:54:50 2007 GMT', 'serialNumber': 'FFAA4ADBF570818D', 'subject': ((('countryName', u'US'),), (('stateOrProvinceName', u'Delaware'),), (('localityName', u'Wilmington'),), (('organizationName', u'Python Software Foundation'),), (('organizationalUnitName', u'SSL'),), (('commonName', u'somemachine.python.org'),)), 'version': 3} and {'extensions': {'1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.12': u'', 'Authority Information Access': u'OCSP - URI:http://EVIntl-ocsp.verisign.com\n', 'X509v3 Authority Key Identifier': u'keyid:4E:43:C8:1D:76:EF:37:53:7A:4F:F2:58:6F:94:F3:38:E2:D5:BD:DF\n', 'X509v3 Basic Constraints': u'CA:FALSE', 'X509v3 CRL Distribution Points': u'URI:http://EVIntl-crl.verisign.com/EVIntl2006.crl\n', 'X509v3 Certificate Policies': u'Policy: 2.16.840.1.113733.1.7.23.6\n', 'X509v3 Extended Key Usage': u'TLS Web Server Authentication, TLS Web Client Authentication, Netscape Server Gated Crypto, Microsoft Server Gated Crypto', 'X509v3 Key Usage': u'Digital Signature, Key Encipherment', 'X509v3 Subject Key Identifier': u'F1:5A:89:93:55:47:4B:BA:51:F5:4E:E0:CB:16:55:F4:D7:CC:38:67'}, 'issuer': ((('countryName', u'US'),), (('organizationName', u'VeriSign, Inc.'),), (('organizationalUnitName', u'VeriSign Trust Network'),), (('organizationalUnitName', u'Terms of use at https://www.verisign.com/rpa (c)06'),), (('commonName', u'VeriSign Class 3 Extended Validation SSL SGC CA'),)), 'notAfter': 'May 8 23:59:59 2009 GMT', 'notBefore': 'May 9 00:00:00 2007 GMT', 'serialNumber': '6A4AC31B3110E6EB48F0FC51A39A171F', 'subject': ((('serialNumber', u'2497886'),), (('1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.3', u'US'),), (('1.3.6.1.4.1.311.60.2.1.2', u'Delaware'),), (('countryName', u'US'),), (('postalCode', u'94043'),), (('stateOrProvinceName', u'California'),), (('localityName', u'Mountain View'),), (('streetAddress', u'487 East Middlefield Road'),), (('organizationName', u'VeriSign, Inc.'),), (('organizationalUnitName', u'Production Security Services'),), (('organizationalUnitName', u'Terms of use at www.verisign.com/rpa (c)06'),), (('commonName', u'www.verisign.com'),)), 'version': 3} Probably another thing that *should* be reported is the cipher used to protect the information on the channel, so that the app can decide whether it's strong enough for its taste. (If it's not, it can presumably reconnect using a different variant of SSL to try for a better result, or decide not to use the server (or talk to the client) at all.)

Conceptually, there is an infinite number of extensions, and when you are done, I can show you lots of certificates that have extensions that you don't support. > This certificate has already been validated; the issue is > how to get critical information to the app so it can make > authorization decisions (like subjectAltName when the subject field is > empty) > {'extensions': {'1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.12': u'', > 'Authority Information Access': u'OCSP - > URI:http://EVIntl-ocsp.verisign.com\n', > 'X509v3 Authority Key Identifier': > u'keyid:4E:43:C8:1D:76:EF:37:53:7A:4F:F2:58:6F:94:F3:38:E2:D5:BD:DF\n', > 'X509v3 Basic Constraints': u'CA:FALSE', > 'X509v3 CRL Distribution Points': > u'URI:http://EVIntl-crl.verisign.com/EVIntl2006.crl\n', > 'X509v3 Certificate Policies': u'Policy: > 2.16.840.1.113733.1.7.23.6\n', > 'X509v3 Extended Key Usage': u'TLS Web Server > Authentication, TLS Web Client Authentication, Netscape Server Gated Crypto, > Microsoft Server Gated Crypto', > 'X509v3 Key Usage': u'Digital Signature, Key > Encipherment', > 'X509v3 Subject Key Identifier': > u'F1:5A:89:93:55:47:4B:BA:51:F5:4E:E0:CB:16:55:F4:D7:CC:38:67'}, Hmm. In this certificate, none of the extensions you report have been marked critical; they are all non-critical. Also, you are reporting the logotype (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.1.12) incorrectly; it's defined in RFC 3709, and it's definitely not an empty string in the certificate you've used.
