[issue30032] email module creates base64 output with incorrect line breaks

2017-04-10 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: Huh. I ran something like that test and thought I saw the reverse. I guess I misread my terminal. Looking at the code, set_content does take care to fix the line ending according to the policy before doing the encoding. -- resolution: -> out

R. David Murray added the comment: There is, however, an issue that if you pass a message with the default policy to the generator and specify SMTP as the policy, it doesn't *recode* the line endings. I thought there was an open issue for that, but I can't find it. One solution w

R. David Murray added the comment: Well, ETL is semi-standardized. Try dealing with csv files exported from excel spreadsheets written by non-programmers :) "e"X is not a quoting the csv module will produce, but I don't think it is a csv error. insofar as csv has a standard,

2017-04-11 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: I've worked on an application (proprietary, unfortunately) that created a lot of empty dictionaries that only sometimes got populated. It involved sqlalchemy, but I don't remember if the dicts came from sqlalchemy itself or from the code that used

2017-04-13 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: If a warning is causing iPython to hang, there is something seriously wrong with iPython. A warning is just a message written to stderr, it doesn't affect the execution of the program. The json module does not natively support datetime, so whatev

[issue30071] Duck-typing inspect.isfunction()

2017-04-14 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: The python standard library makes extensive use of duck typing. Duck typing is a pretty fundamental part of the design of Python, IMO. Even the ABC module does a bunch of duck typing, rather than requiring strict subclassing or registration. I think the

2017-04-14 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: Yes, but the way deprecation warnings work is that there is a stacklevel specified, and the line reported in the error is that number of steps back up the call stack from where the warning was actually issued. The json module doesn't natively h

2017-04-14 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: I thought something like that might be the problem with your attempt to suppress the warnings. A library really should not call a global state function such as filterwarnings, that should be done only by the application. You might want to file a bug report

2017-04-15 Thread R. David Murray
R. David Murray added the comment: Because passing a sequence to shell=True won't work on unix. It only works more-or-less by accident on windows, even though the current docs kind of encourage it. Yes, I think it would be good if these sentences were clarified. See also issue
