[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka storch...@gmail.com added the comment:

I know how to remove universal newline support, I know how after this
correct these functions (with issue14371 they partially corrected), but
I don't know how to deprecate universal newline support. What should be
done? Can you initiate a discussion in Python-Ideas or Python-Dev? Now
only zipfile trying to implement this PEP (and failed), io ignores 'U'
mode, gzip checks and raises.

With regard to this issue, I note that there are tests that check that
read() returns unmodified data (UniversalNewlineTests.read_test in
Lib/test/test_zipfile.py). It looks weird, but apparently, this behavior
is expected and deliberate.

[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka storch...@gmail.com added the comment:

Support lines in zipfile looks contradictory and buggy. This complicates the 
code and makes the behavior of zipfile.ZipExtFile incompatible with the 
interface of other file-like objects. For example, the behavior of the read, 
read1 and peek differ from one described in io module.

If we are working with binary data, conversion of newlines is meaningless (and 
how about newlines in comments?). If we are working with text, the bytes must 
be decoded to str. This will help io.TextIOWrapper.

I suggest two alternatives:

1. Deprecate universal newline support in zipfile. zipfile.ZipExtFile should 
always work with non-modified bytes, and who need the text, let wraps 
zipfile.ZipExtFile with io.TextIOWrapper.

2. Automatically wrap a zipfile.ZipExtFile with io.TextIOWrapper if universal 
newlines mode is enabled. In this case, the data type will change from bytes to 
str. Add modes t and b to explicitly specify the data type. Add an encoding 
parameter (and other parameters if needed).

It may be worth to deprecate PEP 278?  Oh, only ten years have passed
since 2.3, but it seems it was so long ago.

Well, I don't know if PEPs ever get deprecated. In this case, PEP 3116
is probably the superseder.

@Art: @David: A lot of changes have been made to test_zipfile since the last 
patch was produced.  I'm unsure as to whether the patch could be applied to 2.7 
as is, or it would be simpler to rework the patch for 2.7 and the py3k 
branches.  Could one of you take a look please, thanks.

Well, you could try applying the patch and see if it applies cleanly and passes 
the tests.  But it would be helpful to have it reworked for py3k, since we now 
commit first to py3k and then backport to 2.7.

I have not reviewed the updated patch.

The python version of the io module does (_pyio.py).

I've set the stage to 'test needed' because the test needs to be turned
into a unit test.

[Art Gillespie]

Art Gillespie agill...@gmail.com added the comment:

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the feedback.

I've attached a new patch that fixes the read(nbytes) behavior--It will
now always return the requested number of bytes regardless of newline
replacement.  There's now a unit test for this as well.

I also added the newlines attribute per PEP 278 and a corresponding test.

I'm not sure I understood David's comment that read_test needed to be
turned into a unit test:  it's called by several of the unit tests
(test_read_stored, test_read_deflated, et. al.) in that class.

[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support

[R. David Murray]

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

Thanks for working on this.

Comments on patch:

(1) I think you should retain the full ugly check comment explaining
how the \r\n spanning a buffer is handled.  I think that's a helpful
explanation for a non-obvious piece of code.

(2) Your code for setting the newlines attributes and the tests for it
look wrong to me.  The attribute is supposed to list all separators
seen.  I think your code is going to set it to ('\r\n', '\r') when the
separators are just '\r\n', and your test doesn't check to make sure
newlines gets set to _only_ what was seen.  (Nor does it check for the
case of actual mixed line endings...a test for which would require some
additional test hackery since the existing test code didn't try to test
mixed line end files either.)

(3) Sorry for being dense, but I don't understand your code to adjust
the number of bytes in the read method or the test that tests it.  I
haven't tried to play with it, but it looks odd to me that you'd be
adding '2', since I would think that the read could cover more than one
line...or am I misunderstanding how 'read(n)' works (which is entirely
possible)?

Hi David,

Thanks for the review.  Patch attached.

(1)  I've moved that comment to the check's new location.

(2)  Fixed the bug and added tests for only one separator.  Also added
test data and tests for mixed eol files.

(3)  I changed this so that when the file is opened with universal
newline support, read(size) makes multiple calls to _do_read until size
bytes are read or EOF is reached.

[Art Gillespie]

Art Gillespie agill...@gmail.com added the comment:

Latest patch attached.

* Fixed the code that populates the newlines attribute.  I think I've
covered all the cases...

* Found another deviation from file object behavior in this module: 
Calling read with a negative size parameter does not always return the
remainder of the file as described in
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#file.read  I went ahead and
fixed this--please let me know if I should open a separate issue and
submit a separate patch.

* Added more tests for mixed eol files, calling read with a negative
size parameter, reading a file with only crlfs

[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support

[Ryan Leslie]

Ryan Leslie ryle...@gmail.com added the comment:

Hi Art,

Thanks for working on this. I've taken a look at the patch.

The fix to read_test looks correct. Of course, I would consider a more
descriptive variable name than 'b'.

The changes to read() are an improvement, but I think we need to be
careful when we replace \r\n with \n. Basically, we've turned two
characters into one and are now potentially one character short of
'size' bytes. This doesn't match the behavior of file.read().

Another thing to work out is the lack of the 'newlines' attribute,
discussed in PEP 278.

I've noted that bz2 seems to do a pretty good job with universal newline
handling: python/trunk/Modules/bz2module.c.

It's in C, however, and I don't think there's actually anything in the
library doing UL in pure Python.

[issue6759] zipfile.ZipExtFile.read() is missing universal newline support

[Ryan Leslie]

New submission from Ryan Leslie ryle...@gmail.com:

The zipfile.ZipFile.open() behavior with mode 'U' or 'rU' is not quite
as advertised in

http://docs.python.org/library/zipfile.html#zipfile.ZipFile.open

Here is an example:

$ echo -ne This is an example\r\nWhich demonstrates a problem\r\nwith
ZipFile.open(..., 'U')\r\n  foo.txt
$ cat -v foo.txt
This is an example^M
Which demonstrates a problem^M
with ZipFile.open(..., 'U')^M
$ zip foo.zip foo.txt
  adding: foo.txt (deflated 1%)
$ python
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 21 2009, 17:52:12)
[GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)] on linux2
Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.
 open(foo.txt, 'U').read()
This is an example\nWhich demonstrates a problem\nwith
ZipFile.open(..., 'U')\n
 from zipfile import ZipFile
 ZipFile(foo.zip).open(foo.txt, 'U').read()
This is an example\r\nWhich demonstrates a problem\r\nwith
ZipFile.open(..., 'U')\r\n


The open() method was added here:

http://bugs.python.org/issue1121142

The cause is that the universal newline implementation is specific to
readline(), which also implements readlines() and next() as well.
Support was never added for read(), which is independent.

Note that test_zipfile.UniversalNewlineTests.readTest() passes. This is
suspect because it's explicitly coded to *not* expect translation of new
line sequences.

Patch for both zipfile.py and test_zipfile.py attached.

* The universal newline logic is now in read instead of readline.
* UniversalNewlineTests.read_test changed to check for \n rather than
unchanged eol.
