[issue1508475] transparent gzip compression in urllib
Senthil Kumaran orsent...@gmail.com added the comment: The transparent gzip Content-Encoding support should be done at the http.client level code. Before adding this feature, a question needs to be sorted out. If we support the transparent gzip and wrap the file pointer to a GzipFile filepointer, should reset the Content-Length value? What if a user of urllib is relying on the Content-Length of response to do something further? I observed that google-chrome returns the uncompressed output (which is correct for a browser), but has the Content-Length set the compressed output length. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1508475 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Armin Rigo ar...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: But this seems to me like a contrived example: how often in real code do people pass around these builtins, rather than calling them directly? From experience developing PyPy, every argument that goes this theoretically breaks obscure code, but who writes it in that way? is inherently broken: there *is* code out there that uses any and all Python strangenesses.

[issue10527] multiprocessing.Pipe problem: handle out of range in select()
New submission from Gergely Kálmán kalman.gerg...@duodecad.hu: Hello, I have a code that uses multiprocessing.Pipe to communicate with subprocesses. Spawning 500 subprocesses this way works like a charm, but when spawning about 600 of them the pipe ends raise the exception: handle out of range in select(). I realized that this is because of the FD_SETSIZE limit. To address the situation I quickly hacked together a patch that uses poll() instead of select(), which solves the problem for me. I don't know the reason why select() was chosen for this task (maybe because of windows) but wouldn't it be better to use polling where possible? I've attached the tester. Beware, running it may use up all memory in your system, so be careful!

[issue10362] AttributeError: addinfourl instance has no attribute 'tell'
Senthil Kumaran orsent...@gmail.com added the comment:
If you want to quickly solve this, do like this:
import urllib
import tarfile
tarfile.open(urllib.urlretrieve('http://plugins.supybot-fr.tk/GoodFrench.tar')[0],
mode='r:') # Works
The problem is tarfile is expecting a file-object with a tell method for
seeking, whereas urllib2 returns a file-like object, which does have a tell
method. It seems to not have because, the underlying socket._fileobject is not
exposing one (for whatever reason). Let me try to figure out reason for
fixing/closing this bug.
(BTW, http module is relying on .tell() of the socket._fileobject too and I
wonder it did not get noticed earlier because the has not taken that path yet?
Strange!)

[issue10497] Incorrect use of gettext in argparse
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:
A bit of rationale behind the patch. You probably know that the gettext/_
functions serves two roles: Identifying the strings to translate, and
retrieving the translation from a catalog.
At strings extraction time, the string in the line
msg = _('unknown parser %r (choices: %s)' % tup)
will be found by xgettext (just checked), so the .pot and .po files will
include it. So far, so good.
At runtime however, the gettext function will get unknown parser 'parserr'
(choices: ('some', 'tuple')) as argument, which isn’t in the translation
catalogs. Doing the string interpolation after the gettext call (my patch)
avoids this problem.
I will write a test for those two strings.

('', 'adb')
indicates the outer group ((.d.)*) captured
the empty string, while the inner group (.d.)
captured 'adb', so the outer group must have
captured the empty string at the end of the
provided string 'adb'.
Once we have matched the final empty string '',
there should be no more matches, but we got
another match ('', '')!!!
So, findall matched the empty string in
the end of the string twice!!!
Isn't this a bug?

[issue10533] defaultdict constructor with a concrete value

[issue10533] defaultdict constructor with a concrete value
Raymond Hettinger rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: It would be very handy to allow for concrete values as well. Do you have use cases for a concrete integer value that isn't zero? Since we can currently use defaultdict(int) or defaultdict(tuple), is the purpose just to create a more direct spelling of the same thing? The docs for defaultdict also show a general purpose way to generate any default constant (though that way isn't obvious if you haven't seen it in the docs). I'm reluctant to add yet another variant. We already have __missing__, defaultdict, Counter, dict.get, and dict.setdefault(). The docs for dictionaries need to make clear that Guido has already provided an idiom to be the one obvious way to do it: class MyConst(dict): def __missing__(self, key): return myconst That was really the whole point of adding __missing__ in the first place. The OP's proposal amounts to rejecting Guido's design which provides a very good general purpose solution. -- keywords: -easy type: - feature request ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10533 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue10533] defaultdict constructor with a concrete value
Łukasz Langa luk...@langa.pl added the comment: A couple of points: 1. Eric's proposal is what I had in mind with the `fallbackdict' idea. 2. I'm also reluctant to add more variants to the standard library. Then again if it contained a `fallbackdict' I wouldn't probably ever use `defaultdict' again. How often do you need to provide a factory? 3. Naming the other variant `defaultdict_const', `defaultdict_value', `defaultdict_whatever' beats the purpose because it's actually more characters to type than `defaultdict(lambda:', especially when you count the longer import name. 4. I cannot come up with another typical integer value that would be useful, then again I've used , [] and set() numerous times. Adding zerodict, stringdict, listdict, setdict is obviously absurd. 5. The discussion started on Twitter amongst a couple of core devs and __missing__ didn't appear to be the one obvious way to anyone. 6. Of course I'm in no position to reject Guido's design on anything. Then again even `defaultdict(lambda:' is simply so much shorter than subclassing dict. To sum up: if you don't find the idea of adding `fallbackdict' (possibly with an different *short* name) worth it, then I'm +1 on correcting the docs in terms of __missing__ and leaving the implementation as is. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10533 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

4. I cannot come up with another typical integer value that would be

You can get '' with str as default factory and [] with list.
I think we agree on reclassifying this as a doc problem. Proposal:
1) Add a small example in stdtypes.rst:dict section.
2) Add examples of giving dict or int to collections.defaultdict to get {} or 0
as default value.
3) Find a way to link to that example from the index. It is not currently
indexed because there is no dict.__missing__ method, hence no method markup
that would trigger indexing.
4) Cross-link collections.rst:defaultdict, collections.rst:Counter and
stdtypes.rst:__missing__ example.

[issue10533] Need example of using __missing__
Raymond Hettinger rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment:
[Łukasz Langa]
__missing__ didn't appear to be the one obvious way to anyone.
Two thoughts:
* There is part of the Zen that says that way may not be obvious unless your
Dutch. In this case, __missing__ was the API designed by Guido to handle the
problem. If it isn't obvious, it is up to us to popularize the idiom in talks,
in tutorials, in newsgroup discussions, etc. And FWIW, it is not unprecedented
-- Lua's dicts have a similar hook and most of the interesting programming in
Lua relies on it.
* The __missing__ method should not be considered a dark corner of Python.
Unlike the copy module, pickling, of weakrefs, it is not tucked away in the
library. The missing method is part of the basic API for one of Python's most
fundamental objects. If someone is going to be a Python programmer, they must
at least learn about dicts, lists, strings, and tuples.
then again I've used , [] and set() numerous times.
Adding zerodict, stringdict, listdict, setdict is
obviously absurd.
Looking at those examples, you're probably already aware that the list and set
versions are already served by defaultdict(), and that it would be basic (and
probably common) mistake to accidentally use [] in your proposed constant dict.
A constant version of the defaultdict only makes sense with immutables such as
numbers, strings, and tuples. The common case would be the number zero and we
have Counter() for that. So, you're left with very few use cases and with a
hazard for users who may write: f = fallback_dict([]).
4. I cannot come up with another typical integer value
that would be useful
FWIW, the Counter class *is* a ZeroDict. It has a few extra methods but is
basically a dict with __missing__ set to return zero.
... then I'm +1 on correcting the docs in terms of
__missing__ and leaving the implementation as is.
Thank you. Will reclassify this as a doc issue.
[Éric Araujo]
2) Add examples of giving dict or int to
collections.defaultdict to get {} or 0 as default value.
Those examples have been there since day one.
[Michael Foord]
I'm sure the documentation could be improved to highlight
__missing__ though.
I'll add another example and perhaps include on in the tutorial.
It's almost always the case that documentation can be improved. :-)
Getting people to read it is another story ;-)

New submission from Ezio Melotti ezio.melo...@gmail.com: Warnings should be on by default in unittest so that developers can see them while running the tests even if they are silenced by default in Python. The plan is to add a warnings argument to TestProgram and the default TextTestRunner: * if the argument is passed always use it as a filter (e.g. default, ignore, all, ...) for warnings; * if the argument is not passed and sys.warnoptions is not [] (i.e. python has been called with -W something) don't do anything (i.e. use the warnings specified by -W); * if the argument is not passed and sys.warnoptions is [], use 'default' (i.e. show warnings). In order to prevent floods of warnings when the deprecated assertEquals, assert_, etc. are used (see #9424), a new type of warning could be created (e.g. _UnittestDeprecationWarning) and filtered so that these warnings are printed only once. -- assignee: ezio.melotti messages: 122411 nosy: brett.cannon, ezio.melotti, michael.foord priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Enable warnings by default in unittest type: feature request ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10535 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Hirokazu Yamamoto ocean-c...@m2.ccsnet.ne.jp added the comment: Umm, I'm not sure how to fix this yet, but if we create the function like os._stat_with_open_handle() which returns stat struct and open handle on windows, I think we can set/use st_ino.

[issue10536] Enhancements to gettext docs
New submission from Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org:
A patch made for #2504 revealed a bug in gettext.rst, and I’ve found a number
of other things to change in the file. This is the first patch of a series of
two or three.
Barry, as the original author of the module and doc, I’d like your opinion on
points 3, a, and b particularly.
Patch is also uploaded to Rietveld for greater convenience:
http://codereview.appspot.com/042/ (upload.py rocks)
Summary:
1) Markup: Use modern class/method directives combo (yay DRY). Mark up
variable parts in :file: constructs (e.g. :file:`{domain}.mo` will cause the
HTML output to use var to indicate replaceable text). Also change some
``gettext`` to :program:`gettext` for consistency.
2) Fix a typo in lngettext doc (originally included in patch by Franz Glasner
for #2504).
3) I had started to remove information about private attributes (_info,
_charset), advertising public getter methods instead. Then I read the
description of NullTranslations and realized the information was needed for
subclasses. I’ve reverted my removals, but I still think the private
attributes should be listed in a specific section for people writing subclasses
and not in the rest of the text. If you’re okay, I’ll make a second patch.
4) Assorted wording changes, missing periods and hyphens, and other very small
touch-ups: Turned a broken bare link into a working link with nice text; used
the with statement in an example (we all love the with statement!); used two
spaces after periods throughout (hello Fred Drake).
Final note: lines have not been rewrapped, for diff clarity. When I commit
part or all of this patch, I’ll make another commit to rewrap.
Not addressed:
a) The current docs is currently POSIX-specific.
b) The docs take great care to explain that Unicode strings will be returned in
different places, but this should not be so accented in 3.x docs IMO. I would
just put a note somewhere near the top that all strings are str and remove the
redundant sentences. Following that line of thought, I could group all
l*gettext variants at the end of the list of methods, explaining that regular
usage should just be happy with str objects and that l*gettext are available if
people really want bytes.
c) The file uses “built-in namespace” and “builtins namespace”, sometimes in
neighbor paragraphs. :mod:`builtins` is not used, even in explanations of the
install function/method. I don’t know if I should change that.
d) Some capitalization patterns look strange to me: I have seen “I18N” and
“L10N” in upper case nowhere else. Similarly, lower-case “id” looks stranger
than “ID”. The latter is used for example in official GNU gettext docs. Am I
going into foolish consistency territory or not?
Thanks in advance for reviews and opinions.

[issue8879] Implement os.link on Windows
Hirokazu Yamamoto ocean-c...@m2.ccsnet.ne.jp added the comment: Or, use GetFileInformationByHandleEx on Vista or above, and NtQueryInformationFile under Vista. NtQueryInformationFile is windows internal function and MS may change its behavior, but probably we can think it won't happen on WinXP. # These functions are needed to get real filename from # open handle to set S_IEXEC. And provide windows specific functions os._open/os._lopen: open windows handle same as CreateFile in os.stat/os.lstat os._osfstat: stat for windows handle os._close: close windows handle and if the file is hard link, store windows handle anywhere in TarFile object.
