[issue14191] argparse: nargs='*' doesn't get out-of-order positional parameters

2012-03-06 Thread Steven Bethard

Steven Bethard steven.beth...@gmail.com added the comment:

This behavior is intentional - positional arguments must be sequential, not 
broken up with optional (flag) arguments between. So this is a documentation 
bug.

Allowing positional arguments to be broken up with optional (flag) arguments 
between them would be a new feature. It would also break many current parsers, 
so it couldn't be turned on by default. A new constructor parameter or method 
or something would have to be added to ArgumentParser. Patches welcome.

[issue14200] Idle shell crash on printing non-BMP unicode character

2012-03-06 Thread Vlastimil Brom

Vlastimil Brom vlastimil.b...@gmail.com added the comment:

Sorry for mixing the different problems, these were somehow things I noticed 
at once in the new python version, but I should have noticed the different 
domains myself.
I still might not understand the term crash properly - I just meant to 
distinguish between a single appropriate exception on an invalid operation 
(while the app is staying alive and works on next valid input) - as is the case 
with calling through python.exe, and - on the other hand - the immediate 
termination on encountering the invalid input, which happens with pythonw.exe.

Now I see, that with pythonw a tk app terminates with the first exception (in 
general) in py 3.3 and also 3.2 (as opposed to py 2.7, where it just swallows 
the exception and stays alive, as one would probably expect).

Should this be reported in a separate issue, or is this what remains relevant 
in *this* report? (Sorry for the confusion.)

[issue14206] multiprocessing.Queue documentation is lacking important details

2012-03-06 Thread sbt

sbt shibt...@gmail.com added the comment:

What you were told on IRC was wrong.  By default the queue *does* have infinite 
size.

When a process puts an item on the queue for the first time, a background 
thread is started which is responsible for writing items to the underlying 
pipe.  This does mean that, on exit, the process should wait for the background 
thread to flush all the data to the pipe.  This happens automatically unless 
you specifically prevent it by calling cancel_join_thread() method.

If you stick to those methods supported by standard queue objects, then things 
should work correctly.  

(Maybe cancel_join_thread() would be better named allow_exit_without_flush().)

OK, for me the view-obj issues are done. The new tests indicate

Perhaps we might want to deprecate (if one can deprecate an
undocumented feature) view-obj==NULL at some point.

[issue14209] pkgutil.iter_zipimport_modules ignores the prefix parameter for packages

2012-03-06 Thread James Pickering

New submission from James Pickering jamespi...@googlemail.com:

If you run pkgutil.iter_zipimport_modules with a prefix parameter, and the 
module in question is a package, then the prefix parameter is ignored.

The most visible symptom of this is when running pkgutil.walk_packages for a 
zipfile. Imagine we have a module structure like this (or create one):

a/
a/__init__.py
a/b/
a/b/__init.__py

If we put this structure in a directory, add the directory to sys.path, and run 
pkgutil.walk_packages(), it will find modules a and a.b.

If we put this structure in a zipfile, however, we add this file to sys.path, 
and run pkgutil.walk_packages(), it will find modules a and b. This is 
because pkgutil.iter_zipimport_modules ignores the prefix parameter a..

This is incorrect.

This can be fixed by changing line ~344 of Lib/pkgutil.py from:

yield fn[0], True

to

yield prefix + fn[0], True

Thanks, James

P.s, This is my first Python bug report. I apologise in advance for any poor 
etiquette.

[issue14191] argparse: nargs='*' doesn't get out-of-order positional parameters

2012-03-06 Thread guilherme-pg

guilherme-pg guilherme.p.g...@gmail.com added the comment:

I uploaded an incomplete patch that might address the issue so it can be 
discussed.

This patch introduces 'greedy_star', a new constructor parameter to 
ArgumentParser that makes * positional arguments behave as expected in the 
test case.

The patch doesn't yet update the documentation and doesn't include test cases, 
but I'll be glad to provide those changes in a next version.

It is admittedly hackish, but I haven't found a better solution so far. Looking 
forward for your comments.

Can't this be triggered by non-malicious code that just happened to have a

I'm not sure how often it happens, but today it would not be visible to the

Would it be worth adding a counter to lookdict, so that one modification is OK,

STINNER Victor victor.stin...@gmail.com added the comment:

 Can't this be triggered by non-malicious code that just happened to have a

The issue was triggered without threads.If the __eq__ method of the
objects used for keys use C functions releasing the GIL, you may
trigger the issue.

 Would it be worth adding a counter to lookdict, so that one modification is 
 OK, but 5 aren't?

If you implement a special type modifying the dict that contains the
object, you should implement your own retry function on lookup failure
(catch RuntimeError).

Honestly, if you get RuntimeError, you should change your program, not
retry the lookup!

PyObject_GenericSetAttr() doesn't keep a reference to the descriptor: Python

The patch fixes Lib/test/crashers/borrowed_ref_2.py and so removes it.

Correct.  For example, it could be a configuration manager, or a

deleting other (== NOT the one being looked up) keys, why should that
keep them from finding the existing, unchanged keys?

How?

The chain terminates as soon as the dict doesn't resize; without
malicious intent, the odds of hitting several resizes in a row are so
miniscule that it probably hasn't even slowed them down.

 The chain terminates as soon as the dict doesn't resize; without

 miniscule that it probably hasn't even slowed them down.

Now I'm torn. If we'd have this RuntimeError from the start, would we
consider it a flaw in the dict implementation or a feature? The
RuntimeError when changing a dict's size while iterating over it is
definitely a feature (so as to allow the implementation to rehash
everything upon insert/delete). But this is not quite the same. Or is
it? On the one hand I think the scenario is pretty unlikely (mostly
because it involves a user-defined comparison); OTOH it would be quite
nasty to debug. Or would it? You do get a decent error message...

Note that Victor's alternate fix (nomodify.diff) has the same problem
-- it just raises RuntimeError in the mutating thread rather than in
the lookup thread.

[issue14213] python33.dll not removed on uninstallation

2012-03-06 Thread Vinay Sajip

New submission from Vinay Sajip vinay_sa...@yahoo.co.uk:

I built an MSI for Python 3.3 on Windows 7 and installed from it - the 
resulting installation seems to work OK in that it passes all tests except 
test_tcl (intermittent failure). However, when I uninstall, python33.dll is 
left behind in System32. If I rebuild Python and the MSI after some changes and 
reinstall, the old python33.dll is not overwritten with the new one.

[issue7652] Merge C version of decimal into py3k.

2012-03-06 Thread Jim Jewett

Jim Jewett jimjjew...@gmail.com added the comment:

(1)  I think this module would benefit greatly from a map explaining what each 
file does, and perhaps from some reorganization. 

As best I can yet tell, there are about ~130 files, over a dozen directories, 
but the only ones that directly affect the implementation are a subset (~33) of 
the *.c and *h files in Modules/_decimal/ (and not subdirectories).  

Even files that do affect the implementation, such as mpdecimal.c, also seem to 
have functions thrown in just for testing small pieces of functionality, such 
as Newton Division.

There may also be some code that really isn't needed, except possibly for 
backwards compatibility, and could be #ifdef'ed or at least commented.  For 
example, the comments above io.c function _mpd_strneq(const char *s, const char 
*l, const char *u, size_t n) mention working around the Turkish un/dotted-i 
problem when lowercasing -- but why is a decimal library even worried about 
casing?

(2)  Is assembly allowed?  If not, please make it clear that vcdiv64.asm is 
just an optional speedup, and that the code doesn't rely upon it.

(3)  Are there parts of this library that provide functionality NOT in the 
current decimal library?  If so, this should be at least documented, and 
perhaps either removed or exposed.

[issue14200] Idle shell crash on printing non-BMP unicode character

2012-03-06 Thread Martin v . Löwis

Martin v. Löwis mar...@v.loewis.de added the comment:

That pythonw suddenly closes is a separate issue: if pythonw attempts to write 
to stderr, it crashes. To get your example to run in pythonw.exe,
try

pythonw.exe Lib\idlelib\idle.py 2 out.txt

I think the behavior of pythonw terminating when it can't write to stderr is 
actually correct: an exception is raised on attempting to write to stderr, 
which then can be printed (because there is no stderr).

So the real fault here is the traceback that python.exe reports.

To fix this, I think rpc.py should learn to marshal exceptions back to the 
subprocess. Then the initial sys.stdout.write should raise a UnicodeError 
(which it currently doesn't, either). This would get into the displayhook, 
which would then run use sys_displayhook_unencodable to backslashescape the 
unsupported character.

I'll attach a patch that at least makes the exception UnicodeEncodeError.

[issue7652] Merge C version of decimal into py3k.

2012-03-06 Thread Stefan Krah

Stefan Krah stefan-use...@bytereef.org added the comment:

Jim, thanks for taking a look at this.

Jim Jewett rep...@bugs.python.org wrote:
 (1)  I think this module would benefit greatly from a map explaining
  what each file does, and perhaps from some reorganization. 

Just MAP.txt in the top level directory? Amaury suggested moving
the library into a subdirectory. I'm not sure about that. The
library would be out of sight, but is that a good thing?

 As best I can yet tell, there are about ~130 files, over a dozen directories,
 but the only ones that directly affect the implementation are a subset (~33)
 of the *.c and *h files in Modules/_decimal/ (and not subdirectories).  

Indeed the top level directory contains _decimal.c and all files
from libmpdec. Almost all files are required.

The three subdirectories contain:

  tests/   -  library tests
  python/  -  extended module tests
  literature/  -  pointers to papers and explanations for trickier algorithms.

 Even files that do affect the implementation, such as mpdecimal.c,
 also seem to have functions thrown in just for testing small pieces
 of functionality, such as Newton Division.

That is correct. They were deliberately added in that place because they rely
on a couple of inline functions and I have a policy of testing the exact code
that the original function relies on.

The alternative is to extract all functions needed, move them to the test
directory and hope that the code doesn't get stale. But if you have a better
idea, I'd be glad to hear it: I don't like the test functions in that place
either.

The reason that Newton Division is tested for ridiculously small precisions
like prec=1 is that it should pass IBM's test suite just like the regular
division function. (Also, small precisions are most likely to expose problems).

 There may also be some code that really isn't needed, except possibly for
 backwards compatibility, and could be #ifdef'ed or at least commented.

I'm not aware of any except for whole files:

  mpsignal.c  -  signaling wrappers for the mpdecimal.c functions,
  not needed for _decimal.c but part of libmpdec.

  mptest.h-  header for running the tests.

  bench.c -  library benchmark.

 Turkish un/dotted-i problem when lowercasing -- but why is a decimal
 library even worried about casing?

Infinity, InFinItY, iNF are all allowed by the specification.

 (2)  Is assembly allowed?

I was under the assumption that it is allowed:

Python/pymath.c:23:__asm__ __volatile__ (fnstcw %0 : =m (cw));
Python/pymath.c:28:__asm__ __volatile__ (fldcw %0 : : m (cw));
Python/ceval.c:43:asm volatile (mftbu %0 : =r (tbu) );
Python/ceval.c:44:asm volatile (mftb  %0 : =r (tb)  );
Python/ceval.c:45:asm volatile (mftbu %0 : =r (tbu2));
Python/ceval.c:59: __asm__ __volatile__(rdtsc : =A (val))
Python/ceval.c:69:__asm__ __volatile__(rdtsc : \

 If not, please make it clear that vcdiv64.asm is just an optional speedup,
 and that the code doesn't rely upon it.

No code relies on asm. Assembly is only used for the double word mul/divmod
primitives in typearith.h and the Pentium PRO modular multiplication in
umodarith.h, and there are ANSI versions for everything.

The library really compiles with any compiler I have tested, including
compilers without uint64_t like CompCert (CompCert does not compile
Python for example, but for other reasons).

 (3) Are there parts of this library that provide functionality NOT
 in the current decimal library?  If so, this should be at least
 documented, and perhaps either removed or exposed.

Apart from mpsignal.c (see above), there are probably a couple of things
in the header files like mpd_invroot(). _mpd_qinvroot() from mpdecimal.c
*is* needed because the square root is calculated in terms of the
inverse square root.

Are these (probably) minor instances of additional functionality a
big problem for you? Because for me it would be a hassle to maintain
diverging versions of libmpdec and the Python version of libmpdec.

This is also related to testing: The complete test suite (all tests
against decNumber and decimal.py) under Valgrind takes 8 months to
run.

My question is: Where should I document these things and in what detail?

[issue14205] Raise an error if a dict is modified during a lookup

2012-03-06 Thread Jim Jewett

Jim Jewett jimjjew...@gmail.com added the comment:

On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 1:05 PM, Guido van Rossum

Jim Jewett:
...  If they're just adding new keys, or even deleting other
 (== NOT the one being looked up) keys, why should that
 keep them from finding the existing, unchanged keys?

 ... The chain terminates as soon as the dict doesn't resize; without
 malicious intent, the odds of hitting several resizes in a row are so
 miniscule that it probably hasn't even slowed them down.

 Now I'm torn. If we'd have this RuntimeError from the start, would we
 consider it a flaw in the dict implementation or a feature?

I would personally have considered it a flaw.  Wrapping all dict
access just in case some other code added a weird key seems ugly and
inefficient.

 RuntimeError when changing a dict's size while iterating over it is
 definitely a feature (so as to allow the implementation to rehash
 everything upon insert/delete).

In that case, you've explicitly asked for the whole set (or at least a
snapshot); the RuntimeError indicates that you can't get it.  Maybe
there should be a way to say I don't need the set to be perfect, but
there isn't, and you aren't getting what you actually did ask for, so
an Error is appropriate.

But in this case, you're asking for a specific key, and the key is
there.  It may even be a perfectly normal string, that just happened
to hash-collide with something some other code inserted.

The RuntimeError exposes a race condition to user code -- and it may
not be the code that stuck the oddball class in the dict in the first
place.

 Note that Victor's alternate fix (nomodify.diff) has the same problem
 -- it just raises RuntimeError in the mutating thread rather than in
 the lookup thread.

Right; I'm saying that raising an error is the wrong thing to do.

But there is an analogy to the hash-code change vs collision counting.
 Breaking an application that got unlucky once is wrong.  But if the
bad luck *continues* to the point where it would only occur one time
in a zillion, RuntimeError is better than a likely infinite loop.

(It really was a question initially, but I've now convinced at least myself.)

I would rather see something like replacing

   349 else {
   350 /* The compare did major nasty stuff to the
   351  * dict:  start over.
   352  * XXX A clever adversary could prevent this
   353  * XXX from terminating.
   354  */
   355 return lookdict(mp, key, hash);

with

   349 else {
   350 /* The compare did major nasty stuff to the
   351  * dict:  start over.
   352  * XXX A clever adversary could prevent this
   353  * XXX from terminating.
   354  */
   355 return lookdict_paranoid(mp, key, hash, 1);

where lookdict_paranoid is a near-copy of lookdict that adds a
paranoia parameter and replaces those same lines with

else {
/* The compare did major nasty stuff *again*. */
if (paranoia  PARANOIA_LEVEL) {
return lookdict_paranoid(mp, key, hash, paranoia+1);
}
/* Something is wrong; raise a RuntimeError. */
}

[issue14191] argparse: nargs='*' doesn't get out-of-order positional parameters

2012-03-06 Thread Glenn Linderman

Glenn Linderman v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com added the comment:

Interesting that the behavior is intentional, yet it accepts positional 
parameters either before, or after, or between optional (flag) parameters.

This seems to me to be a case where proper documentation of the intention would 
have led to the realization that it is easier to fix the code than the 
documentation.

The only definition of positional parameters I could find in the present 
documentation is:

When parse_args() is called, optional arguments will be identified by the - 
prefix, and the remaining arguments will be assumed to be positional:

This is simple and succinct, but leads to my interpretation that they can be 
anywhere, intermixed with optional arguments.

Further, optparse, which argparse attempts to replace, permitted positional 
arguments to be intermixed with optional arguments, see new file t13.py which 
demonstrates that.

To document that positional parameters must be grouped together, yet can appear 
anywhere, the documentation would have to get much more verbose...  something 
like

All positional parameters must be grouped together in a single sequence.  
However, that group of parameters may have optional parameters either before it 
or after it, or there may be optional parameter both before it and after it.

[issue14208] No way to recover original argv with python -m

2012-03-06 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan ncogh...@gmail.com added the comment:

This is closely related to PEP 395, since multiprocessing currently hits the 
same issue in trying to figure out the correct setting for sys.argv0.

I quite like the sys.__argv__ idea for preserving the *exact* underlying 
command line (Alex Gaynor was recently asking for something similar to this).

In the meantime, it should be possible to work around the problem by running 
the affected subprocess invocations (i.e. when __main__.__package__ exists and 
is not empty) with something like:

launch_template = 
import runpy, sys
sys.argv[:] = {argv}
sys.path[:] = {path}
runpy._run_module_as_main({main})

import sys, subprocess, os.path, __main__
main_base = os.path.basename(__main.__file__).splitext()[0]
main_ref = __main__.__package__ + . + main_base
launch = launch_template.format(argv=sys.argv, path=sys.path, main=main_ref)
subprocess.call(launch, shell=True, executable=sys.executable)
   
Note: the above isn't tested code, since it's an approach that only occurred to 
me recently and I haven't had a chance to fully explore it myself. However, if 
it works, we could make use of it in 2.7 and 3.2 to fix multiprocessing's 
current misbehaviour on Windows.

[issue7652] Merge C version of decimal into py3k.

2012-03-06 Thread Jim Jewett

Jim Jewett jimjjew...@gmail.com added the comment:

On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 3:07 PM, Stefan Krah

 Jim Jewett rep...@bugs.python.org wrote:

      what each file does, and perhaps from some reorganization.

 Just MAP.txt in the top level directory?

That should work.  There may be better names, but I can't think of any just now.

 Amaury suggested moving
 the library into a subdirectory. I'm not sure about that. The
 library would be out of sight, but is that a good thing?

cdecimal certainly needs a subdirectory similar to those for _io,
_ctypes, _multiprocessing, and _sqlite.

It *may* make sense to move some of the subdirectories around.  (On
the other hand, it may not; if the tests in Lib/test/ end up
delegating back, that is probably OK.)

I believe it would be helpful to move non-code (project files, etc) to
separate directories.

Whether you need *additional* subdirectories within _cdecimal to
subcategorize the .c and .h files, I'm not sure -- because I didn't
get in deep enough to know what they should be.  If the categorization
let people focus on the core, that would be helpful, but it wasn't
clear to me which files were part of the exported API and which were
implementation details.  Are there are clear distinctions (type
info/python bindings/basic arithmetic/advanced
algorithms/internal-use-only/???)

 As best I can yet tell, there are about ~130 files, over a dozen directories,
 but the only ones that directly affect the implementation are a subset (~33)
 of the *.c and *h files in Modules/_decimal/ (and not subdirectories).

 Indeed the top level directory contains _decimal.c and all files
 from libmpdec. Almost all files are required.

Would it make sense to integrate only cdecimal, and to treat libmpdec
as an external dependency that (usually) gets updated with each Python
feature release, the way that sqlite is?

 The three subdirectories contain:

  tests/       -  library tests
  python/      -  extended module tests

I would really expect that to still be under tests, and I would expect
a directory called python to contain code written in python, or at
least python bindings.

  literature/  -  pointers to papers and explanations for trickier algorithms.

 Even files that do affect the implementation, such as mpdecimal.c,
 also seem to have functions thrown in just for testing small pieces
 of functionality, such as Newton Division.

 That is correct. They were deliberately added in that place because they rely
 on a couple of inline functions and I have a policy of testing the exact code
 that the original function relies on.

How important is it that these functions be inline?

Would it at least be OK to wrap them in stubs for exporting, so that
the test logic could be places with the others tests?  (I worry that
some tests may stop getting run if someone else modifies the build
process and doesn't notice the unusual location.)

 The alternative is to extract all functions needed, move them to the test
 directory and hope that the code doesn't get stale.

I agree that copying is bad.

I'll trust your judgement on the need for inline.  But given:

ALWAYS_INLINE int
mpd_word_digits(mpd_uint_t word)

I don't see anything wrong with exporting:

int
_testhelp_mpd_word_digits(mpd_uint_t word) {
return mpd_word_digits(word);
}

 Turkish un/dotted-i problem when lowercasing -- but why is a decimal
 library even worried about casing?

 Infinity, InFinItY, iNF are all allowed by the specification.

OK; so is io.c part of the library, or part of the python binding?

Given that this is targeted at 3.3 or later, would it make sense to
either use casefolding, or check the kind?  (If it isn't ASCII, it
can't be the word INF.)

Are there only a certain number of strings that will ever matter, such
as INF, NAN, and INFINITY, so that a case statement would work?
tolower() with an extra check for the turkish undotted lower case i?
What you have may well be the best compromise, but it bothers me to
see text processing tools redone in a numeric type -- particularly
without knowing why they are needed.

 (2)  Is assembly allowed?

 I was under the assumption that it is allowed:

I'm honestly not sure, but I think that was one of the reasons
stackless was never integrated.

 If not, please make it clear that vcdiv64.asm is just an optional speedup,
 and that the code doesn't rely upon it.

 No code relies on asm. Assembly is only used for the double word mul/divmod
 primitives in typearith.h and the Pentium PRO modular multiplication in
 umodarith.h, and there are ANSI versions for everything.

Good enough, though I would rather see that as a comment near the assembly.

 (3) Are there parts of this library that provide functionality NOT
     in the current decimal library?  If so, this should be at least
     documented, and perhaps either removed or exposed.

 Apart from mpsignal.c (see above), there are

Speaking of inline, the inline keyword will have to go because it's not C89.

But we could check if the compiler supports the inline keyword and use it if 
available.

[issue6755] Patch: new method get_wch for ncurses bindings: accept wide characters (unicode)

2012-03-06 Thread Nicholas Cole

Nicholas Cole nicholas.c...@gmail.com added the comment:

I hope that this is the right bug to file this on (I'm getting lost in all of 
the curses bugs!).

I'm testing out the 3.3a1, and I've run into the following issue.  On previous 
releases addch() could accept curses.ACS_HLINE and similar.

Attempting to use the same code now raises the exception:

OverflowError: byte doesn't fit in chtype.

I'm sure this is related to the new code that uses addwstr(), but currently 
code that used to work will crash.

I can't work out a fix myself, because I don't fully understand the problem, 
but I'm happy to provide sample code if it will help.

Nicholas

[issue6755] Patch: new method get_wch for ncurses bindings: accept wide characters (unicode)

2012-03-06 Thread R. David Murray

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment:

Since this bug is about adding a new feature, it is unlikely to be the correct 
bug for this to be against.

Given that you've identified a regression, I suggest you open a new bug with a 
reproducer, and we'll set it to release blocker.
