[issue3552] uuid - exception on uuid3/uuid5
Martin v. Löwis [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: So are you saying that if I had libopenssl (or whatever the name is) installed and linked with Python, it would bypass the use of _md5 and _sha1, and call the hash functions in libopenssl instead? Correct. Those modules aren't even built then. See openssl_ver in setup.py. And all the buildbots _do_ have it linked? Most of them, yes, to be able to test openssl. You would have to check each one individually to really know. That would indicate that the bots _aren't_ testing the code in _md5 and _sha1 at all. Perhaps one should be made to? Perhaps. However, the buildbots can't test all combinations, anyway. People will report problems in other combinations quickly. Hopefully, they don't panic when they encounter a bug that only shows up on their system. ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3552 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue3560] redundant base field in memoryview objects
New submission from Antoine Pitrou [EMAIL PROTECTED]: PyMemoryViewObject has a base field which points to the originator of the buffer. However, this field has become redundant now that the Py_buffer struct has received an obj field which also points to the originator of the buffer (this has been done as part of the fix to #3139). Not removing base would make for a confusing and error-prone API. However, removing it is complicated by the fact that base is sometimes abused to contain a tuple (for PyBUF_SHADOW type buffers, which are neither mentioned in the PEP nor used anywhere in py3k). -- components: Interpreter Core messages: 71164 nosy: pitrou, teoliphant priority: critical severity: normal status: open title: redundant base field in memoryview objects type: behavior versions: Python 3.0 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3560 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue2271] msi installs to the incorrect location (C drive)
Andrew Dalke [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I also have this problem. (2.5 msi installer under Win2K with a non- admin account granted admin privs). Python installs just fine under C:\ (instead of C:\Python25) but then I run into problems installing the win32 extensions. Searching the web I found this posting from 2005 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005- September/341874.html That poster created an SF bug report which is now issue1298962. He linked to http://tinyurl.com/82dt2 which states: Windows Installler has no recognition of power users, so these users fall into the category of non admin when running an install. That describes exactly my situation. The solution is, apparently: To mark certain properties as safe for configuration, you can add them to the SecureCustomProperties list in the property table of the MSI file. which Martin reported here. Martin suggested using orca, but I have no idea of what that is (unix/mac dweeb that I am), and it doesn't exist on this machine. I know this is pretty much a me too report. I'm doing so to say that it has been an ongoing problem here at my client's site. They are not software developers here, and rather than trying to track down the right person with full admin rights to come to each person's desktop, they've been installing an old pre-msi version of Python. I would like to see this fixed before 2.6 is released. All I can do to help though is to test an installer, which I will do gladly. -- nosy: +dalke ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2271 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue2642] MSVCRT packing in Windows Installer (3.0a4)
Paul Molodowitch [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: To do a private, SxS install, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997620.aspx I once made a private SxS installation of a MSVC-reliant app (that you could install with non-admin privileges), and if recall correctly, it required disabling the generation / embedding of the manifest file in MSVC++, and then include the MSVC dlls and hand-edited manifest files in the installation. (Or perhaps you could somehow edit the options for the embedded manifest's generation? never tried this myself...). (Or, if you don't like .manifest files littering the install directory, turn off the auto-generation of the manifest, but embed your own hand-edited manifest as a resource. I'm sure this is possible, but figuring out the exact steps to do it may be more headache then it's worth...) I don't remember exactly, but I think in order to make a manifest that worked for non-Admin install, I think all I had to do was remove the 'publicKeyToken' property from the assemblyIdentity... if it's present, I believe it tries to find a registered, signed version of the dlls - and registering signed SxS dlls requires admin privileges. What I don't remember is, if 'publicKeyToken' is present, if it just gives up if it doesn't find a signed version, or it simply means that it will use a signed version preferentially to a 'local' copy if both are present... -- nosy: +barnabas79 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2642 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue1398] Can't pickle partial functions
Alexandre Vassalotti [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I agree that this a bug. However, the liberal functools.partial constructor makes it hard to pickle partial instances correctly. Ideally, we would add the __getnewargs__ special method and be done with it. But, this won't work in this case due to the *args and **kwargs arguments of partial. Since pickle supports neither, we would need to use apply(), which going to be removed in Python 3.0, as follow: import pickletools pickletools.dis(c__builtin__\napply\n(cfunctools\npartial\n(c__main__\nf\nt(S'b'\nK\x01dtR.) 0: cGLOBAL '__builtin__ apply' 19: (MARK 20: cGLOBAL 'functools partial' 39: (MARK 40: cGLOBAL '__main__ f' 52: tTUPLE (MARK at 39) 53: (MARK 54: SSTRING 'b' 59: KBININT11 61: dDICT (MARK at 53) 62: tTUPLE (MARK at 19) 63: RREDUCE 64: .STOP Unfortunately, pickle.Pickler cannot generate a such pickle stream. So this bug is symptom of the bigger issue that classes with *args and/or **kwargs argument cannot be made picklable. -- nosy: +alexandre.vassalotti priority: - normal resolution: invalid - status: closed - open ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue1398 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue3561] Windows installer should add Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable
Jason Spiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Martin, at the time I read the python-list thread, I didn't pay any attention to the posts' authors. Only now did I realize you were one of the posters. Oops. I already know the basic ideas about creating MSIs with Wise from a past job. So now I researched and thought about this particular problem for several hours. I've learned that Windows Installer is able to add ...\python and ...\python\scripts to the PATH during installation. It cannot[1] remove them at uninstallation. [ WiX, and its superior competitor MAKEMSI, each provide slightly higher-level abstractions[2][3] on top of what Windows Installer provides[4] to make this slightly easier, but not by that much. But I will assume you don't plan to spend days or weeks of your spare time on migrating away from msilib. :-) ] Here are the rough notes I've made up so far on how to do this: - make a new method add_environment. In it: - call start_component to create components modify_path_per_user and modify_path_per_machine - call add_data to create an Environment table. It should have two rows[5]: - Name:=PATH Value:[TARGETDIR];[TARGETDIR]\Scripts;[~] Component:modify_path_per_user - Name:=*PATH Value:[TARGETDIR];[TARGETDIR]\Scripts;[~] Component:modify_path_per_machine Another difficult part is the UI. Then there's the issue of switching which of the two components are installed based on whether it's per- user or per-machine and also based on whether the user specifies via the UI that they want their PATH changed. I have to think more about that, and I'm already tired of researching. Remember that Windows Installer cannot undo its PATH changes at uninstall time. So, before I consider proceeding further, let me verify a few things with you. 1. [TARGETDIR] will stay on the path. I think that is fine, since the python.exe will be gone, so will never be executed. Do you agree? 2. [TARGETDIR]\scripts will also stay on the path. And it may still contain scripts installed by the user or by third-party installers like the SCons installer. I don't know enough about how Python works to know if that's a problem. Is it a problem? P.S. Would you prefer to discuss this by something more synchronous like telephone (I will pay the tolls) or instant messaging? P.P.S. Now that I have realized how complicated Python installation actually is, and how hard it is to design the tables of and write raw .MSI files, I have a new appreciation for the work you've done on making a Python MSI installer. Thank you very much for having done so. Also, now that I have started researching how much work is necessary to get this done, I realize why you don't want to code it yourself. :-) I don't know if I will end up actually managing to come up with a patch. ^ [1].

[issue3561] Windows installer should add Python and Scripts directories to the PATH environment variable
Martin v. Löwis [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: 1. [TARGETDIR] will stay on the path. I think that is fine, since the python.exe will be gone, so will never be executed. Do you agree? Completely disagree. Adding something to PATH is nearly unacceptable clutter even during installation, and completely unacceptable (to me) after uninstallation. If you install Python several times, will the path get longer and longer? In principal, uninstallation should completely undo installation. There should be only plausible exceptions, e.g. when the user still has files in a directory, deleting the directory is unacceptable as it would also delete the files. The big problem where the Python installer (and MSI in general) fails is uninstallation of file associations, which doesn't restore the file assocations to what they were (of course, that software might be gone) 2. [TARGETDIR]\scripts will also stay on the path. And it may still contain scripts installed by the user or by third-party installers like the SCons installer. I don't know enough about how Python works to know if that's a problem. Is it a problem? To me, any change to PATH is a problem... (I really think that software installation should never ever touch it - this aspect of the operating system completely belongs to the user resp. the system administrator) P.S. Would you prefer to discuss this by something more synchronous like telephone (I will pay the tolls) or instant messaging? I don't think this can be done for 2.6, so there is no need for synchrony - there is plenty of time to come up with a solution for 2.7/3.1. In any case, I'll be away for the next three weeks. It cannot[1] remove them at uninstallation. ^ [1]. I have inferred this fact based on http://www.isg.ee.ethz.ch/tools/realmen/det/msi.en.html -- scroll down to the Setting the PATH section I think this is incorrect. You cannot uninstall the path through unsetting the PATH variable, sure. So perhaps using the Environment table is the wrong approach in the first place. You can do nearly anything in a custom action, so it should be possible to remove the path entry on uninstallation by means of a custom action. If such a solution was designed, there would still be many questions, such as: - what is the actual problem being solved? Is it real? Could there be other solutions to that problem (such as installing things into system32, or somewhere else that is on the PATH already)? - if the path is modified, should the Python directory be added to the beginning or the end? - IMO, this feature needs to be customizable, and IMO, it must be turned off by default. So how should such customization be offered? These questions can partially be discussed in the tracker item proposing the patch. The very end-user related aspects of it need to be discussed on python-dev (perhaps taking a poll whether this is desirable, whether it should be optional, and if so, what the default should be) ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3561 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue3131] 2to3 can't find fixes_dir
Benjamin Peterson [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: I don't like the patch because it constricts possible fixer dirs. IMO, refactor.py needs some refactoring its self in order to separate command line logic from application logic. ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3131 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue2676] email/message.py [Message.get_content_type]: Trivial regex hangs on pathological input
Jack Diederich [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment: Antoine, I looked at your patch and I'm not sure why you applied it instead of applying mine (or saying +1 on me applying my patch). Yours uses str.partition which I pointed out is sub-optimal (same big-Oh but with a larger constant factor) and also adds a function that returns two things, one of which is thrown away after having a str.strip performed on it. If my patch was deficient please let me know. ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue2676 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue3547] Ctypes is confused by bitfields of varying integer types
Matt Giuca [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
Confirmed in HEAD for Python 2.6 and 3.0, on Linux.
Python 2.6b2+ (trunk:65708, Aug 16 2008, 15:04:13)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Python 3.0b2+ (py3k:65708, Aug 16 2008, 15:09:19)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
I was also able to simplify the test case. I get this issue just using
one c_short and one c_long, with nonstandard bit lengths. eg:
fields = [('a', c_short, 16), ('b', c_long, 16)]
(sizeof(c_short) == 2 and sizeof(c_long) == 4).
But it's somewhat sporadic under which conditions it happens and which
it doesn't.
One might imagine this was a simple calculation. But the _ctypes module
is so big (5000 lines of C); at an initial glance I can't find the code
responsible! Any hints? (Modules/_ctypes/ctypes.c presumably is where
this takes place).
