[issue13648] xml.sax.saxutils.escape does not escapes \x00

2011-12-23 Thread Martin v . Löwis

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

This is correct behavior. \x00 is not supported in XML: not in raw form, and 
not in escaped form. To transmit binary data in XML, use base64.

[issue13647] Python SSL stack doesn't securely validate certificate (as client)

2011-12-23 Thread Dan Kaminsky

Dan Kaminsky d...@doxpara.com added the comment:

 There is a new match_hostname that doesn't implement all the 
 required, standard SSL/TLS Client security checks that should be done.

Indeed, as the name indicates, it just checks the hostname.
Please detail what the other security checks are (bonus points if you provide 
a patch + tests).

You need to check expiration date of the cert in question, and I suppose 
invocation date as well.
You need to look at each of the CNs in the subject name, as well as each of the 
DNSname types in the SAN extension.
You *absolutely must* make sure that each of the intermediate certificates has 
Basic Constraints: CA set to True.  Otherwise a certificate for foo.com can 
sign for bar.com (this keeps happening).
You should support the Name Constraints extension, that allows certificates to 
sign for a subset of names.  Nobody really uses this, because reliability is so 
low though.


  It has been noticed by the well known security researcher Dan Kaminsky

 What's the URL for this?

I'll see your URL and raise you a submitted bug report with recommendations.  
It seems to get better results than posting random whining on a web page 
somewhere :)

  A) Integrate the Mozilla CA pack into Python, updating it with each
  security release.

 I suggest you discuss this on python-dev:
 http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev

It's an ugly dependency, I know.  X.509 suffers from a false coherence 
design, in which a couple of parties actively work to make it look like it has 
a coherent trust model.  The best you can do is try to borrow/leverage the work 
of one of those parties.

asking on python-dev; I don't feel like making that decision alone.

That said, system OpenSSL builds on Linux (and perhaps OS X) should have
been compiled against a well-known system location of CA certificates
maintained by the OS vendor. In this case, you can simply use
SSLContext.set_default_verify_paths
(http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLContext.set_default_verify_paths

That doesn't help under Windows, though (where we build OpenSSL
ourselves so that the ssl module can be bundled in installers).

Be sure to support SAN.  People forget that, and the API makes it a pain in

The CA set doesn't change *often*, but it does shift from time to time.

system certs couldn't be checked.

Whatever you've got right now isn't good enough to either be on by default,
or warn by default.  I wouldn't even recommend warning if you didn't ship
with certs.

Technically, you could check the Windows certificate stores too, if you
wanted to write that code.

Before going to python-dev, what do you think is feasible,
implementation-wise?

[issue13655] Python SSL stack doesn't have a default CA Store

2011-12-23 Thread naif

New submission from naif n...@globaleaks.org:

For the certificate store:

Can we eventually agree to bind a default CA-store to a Mozilla verified one?
Mozilla in handling Firefox does a great job in keeping CA-store up-to-date.

Integrating default mozilla CA-store with Python builds could be a nice way, 
it's just a matter of integrating into the build-system the download/fetching 
of default Mozilla store.

At least the language base it's default on a trusted entity to manage, 
cross-platform, the CA-store for TLS/SSL.

The mainteinance of the CA-store would be delegated to Mozilla that has been 
demonstrated to be independent and very security conscious, removing dirty 
CA-store (like Diginotar after Iranian compromise).

That way 90% of case of of SSL/TLS certificate validation will be managed and 
by default it would be possible to enable secure SSL/TLS client checking like 
described in http://bugs.python.org/issue13647 .

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment:

 the butt (the validator doesn't even know who you're validating for).

Right, that's why we added the match_hostname() function. It knows about 
subjectAltName, except for raw IP addresses.
The tests for it can be found here:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/0466ee1816b1/Lib/test/test_ssl.py#l265

 Technically, you could check the Windows certificate stores too, if you
 wanted to write that code.

Well, I don't know how to interface them with OpenSSL.

 Before going to python-dev, what do you think is feasible,
 implementation-wise?

Technically, shipping certificates shouldn't be difficult. The final install 
location is defined at ./configure time, so loading the certs shouldn't be a 
problem either.
Whether or not we enable them by default is a matter of policy. I think 
enabling them by default could be a nasty surprise for users who currently rely 
on a narrower set of trusted certs.

 The right thing would be to use the in-built cert set if and only if the
 system certs couldn't be checked.

That might not be easy. OpenSSL's SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths() 
deliberately doesn't report errors.

 Antoine, in case it's useful, do you think that it would be possible

Well, to quote the page you mentioned:
“The verify program uses the same functions as the internal SSL and
S/MIME verification, therefore this description applies to these verify
operations too.”

So these checks are exactly the ones performed when using CERT_OPTIONAL
or CERT_REQUIRED.
Note that it is cursorily mentioned (or hinted at) at
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html#verifying-certificates

[issue6983] Add specific get_platform() for freebsd

2011-12-23 Thread Stef Walter

Stef Walter s...@memberwebs.com added the comment:

Good plan.

So the issue is:

 * Platform specific eggs are built containing a path that has the full
   patch level of the freebsd kernel, like 8.2-RELEASE-p2. The -p2
   part is updated for every security patch of FreeBSD.
 * Thus when you apply a security patch to FreeBSD, platform specific
   eggs built for that version of FreeBSD (before the security patch
   was applied) are no longer considered compatible.

FYI, FreeBSD has an unwritten policy of keeping all 8.x releases
backwards compatible with one another. So platform specific eggs built
for 8.1 would work without inherent problems on 8.2 or 8.3.

But at the very least, platform specific eggs should not be dependent on
the patch level of the FreeBSD kernel.

 afraid distutils can’t be changed: even undocumented, the platform string

In short, MESA didn't use the correct TLS model for thread-local variables,

when called from a dynamically loaded libraries (such as spam).

I couldn't reproduce the problem on Debian testing (which has a mesa version

Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment:

 write()?

Well, I thought that making it a file-like object could be useful:
that way, one could pass it to pickle.dump(), logging.StreamHandler or
any method expecting a file-like object, and would gain atomicity
(persistency) transparently, without refactoring.
My quick and dirty AtomicFile implementation reused the
_TemporaryFileWrapper attribute delagation trick:

def __getattr__(self, name):
# Attribute lookups are delegated to the underlying file
# and cached for non-numeric results
# (i.e. methods are cached, closed and friends are not)
file = self.__dict__['file']
a = getattr(file, name)
if not issubclass(type(a), type(0)):
setattr(self, name, a)
return a


 Still shutil?

 I think that's our best compromise.

OK.
I don't have a strong opinion about this, and you've got much more
experience than me, so I trust your judgement ;-)

[issue13653] reorder set.intersection parameters for better performance

2011-12-23 Thread Andrew Dalke

Andrew Dalke da...@dalkescientific.com added the comment:

My belief is that the people who use set.intersection with more than two terms 
are 1) going to pass in a list of sets, and 2) don't care about the specific 
order.

To check the validity of my belief, I did a Google Code Search to find cases of 
people using set intersection in Python. I searched for set\.intersection\(\* 
and \.intersection\(.*\, lang:^python$, among others.

I am sad to report that the most common way to compute set.intersection(*list) 
is by using reduce, like:

possible = (set(index[c]) for c in set(otp))
possible = reduce(lambda a, b: a.intersection(b), possible)


That comes from:
  git://github.com/Kami/python-yubico-client.git /yubico/modhex.py
and similar uses are in:
  git://github.com/sburns/PyCap.git /redcap/rc.py
  http://hltdi-l3.googlecode.com/hg//xdg/languages/morpho/fst.py
  http://dsniff.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/dsniff/lib/fcap.py


As well as in the Rosetta Code example for a simple inverted index, at:
  http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Inverted_index#Python

This was also implemented more verbosely in:

http://eats.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/server/eats/views/main.py
intersected_set = sets[0]
for i in range(1, len(sets)):
intersected_set = intersected_set.intersection(sets[i])

and 

http://iocbio.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/iocbio/microscope/cluster_tools.py
s = set (range (len (data[0])))
for d in zip(*data):
s = s.intersection(set(find_outliers(d, zoffset=zoffset)))
return sorted(s)

In other words, 7 codebases use manual pairwise reduction rather than use the 
equivalent code in Python. (I have not checked for which are due to backwards 
compatibility requirements.)

On the other hand, if someone really wants to have a specific intersection 
order, this shows that it's very easy to write.


I found 4 other code bases where set intersection was used for something other 
than binary intersection, and used the built-in intersection().



git://github.com/valda/wryebash.git/experimental/bait/bait/presenter/impl/filters.py
def get_visible_node_ids(self, filterId):
if filterId in self.idMask:
visibleNodeIdSets = [f.get_visible_node_ids(filterId) for f in 
self._filters]
return set.intersection(*[v for v in visibleNodeIdSets if v is not 
None])
return None



http://wallproxy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/local/proxy.py
if threads[ct].intersection(*threads.itervalues()):
raise ValueError('All threads failed')
(here, threads' values contain sets)



git://github.com/argriffing/xgcode.git/20100623a.py
header_sets = [set(x) for x in header_list]
header_intersection = set.intersection(*header_sets)




http://pyvenn.googlecode.com/hg//venn.py
to_exclude = set()
for ii in xrange(0, len(self.sets)):
if (i  (2**ii)):
sets_to_intersect.append(sets_by_power_of_two[i  (2**ii)])
else:
to_exclude = to_exclude.union(sets_by_power_of_two[(2**ii)])
final = set.intersection(*sets_to_intersect) - to_exclude



These all find the intersection of sets (not iterators), and the order of 
evaluation does not appear like it will affect the result.

I do not know though if there will be a performance advantage in these cases to 
reordering. I do know that in my code, and any inverted index, there is an 
advantage.

And I do know that the current CPython implementation has bad worst-case 
performance.

[issue8604] Adding an atomic FS write API

2011-12-23 Thread Antoine Pitrou

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment:

  Does it have to be a class? What would be the operations apart from
  write()?
 
 Well, I thought that making it a file-like object could be useful:
 that way, one could pass it to pickle.dump(), logging.StreamHandler or
 any method expecting a file-like object, and would gain atomicity
 (persistency) transparently, without refactoring.

Mmmh... I might have misunderstood the proposal then. I thought this
atomic write API was about writing the file contents in one go and
immediately closing the file. If you want atomicity to apply to logging,
you must instead guarantee the durability of each write() call, meaning
calling fsync() on each logging call, which would be very expensive.

Am I missing something?

[issue10513] sqlite3.InterfaceError after commit

2011-12-23 Thread Florent Viard

Florent Viard fvi...@lacie.com added the comment:

Hi,

I encountered the same regression with python 2.7.
I added a new testcase (testcase2) with another effect of the same problem. It 
is a model of what does python-storm when I try to do:

for item in TableA.findall():
  TableB.new_item(name=item.name)
  connection.commit()

As you can see in the result:
-- One iter --
(0,)
-- One iter --
(1,)
-- One iter --
(0,)
-- One iter --
(1,)
-- One iter --
(2,)

Inside the for loop, there is a reset, but only one time. So entries returned 
by for are inconsistents as there could be some duplicated results.


After studying the code, I understood that this regression is caused by the 
addition of function call:
pysqlite_do_all_statements(self, ACTION_RESET, 0);
in connection.c: in function: pysqlite_connection_commit

Removing this line, fixes the problem and bring back the old correct behavior.


For the explanation of my case, I understood that:
For the statement of my query, the in_use flag is first set to 1, the first 
fetchmany call ran, then the commit triggered the reset of all the statements 
that have  the in_use flag == 1 and set this flag to 0. So the next fetchmany 
call return results from the beginning again without care for the state of the 
in_use flag. Then, the next commit don't reset again the statement as its 
in_use flag is still == 0.

I think, that the first intention of this modification was more to use the 
following call:
pysqlite_do_all_statements(self, ACTION_RESET, 1);
to have the cursor-reset set and so, at next fetch call, triggering exception: 
sqlite3.InterfaceError: Cursor needed to be reset because of commit/rollback 
and can no longer be fetched from.

But as for using it in rollback, I'm not sure that this behavior is really 
useful as sqlite3 looks to be able to correctly handle modifications and cursor 
return values.
As an example, the following test with the previous code :
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursorBis = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute('create table first(id primary key);')
for i in range(5):
cursor.execute('insert or replace into first(id) values(?);', (i,))

results = cursor.execute(' select id from first;')
while True:
print -- One iter --
results = cursor.fetchmany()
if not results:
break
for result in results:
print str(result)
cursorBis.execute(' delete from first where id == ?;', (3,))
conn.commit()

That correctly printed:
-- One iter --
(0,)
-- One iter --
(1,)
-- One iter --
(2,)
-- One iter --
(4,)
-- One iter --


So my suggestion is to remove in pysql_connection_commit the call to :
pysqlite_do_all_statements(self, ACTION_RESET, 0);
to bring back the correct old behavior.

And also eventually to remove in pysqlite_connection_rollback the call to :
pysqlite_do_all_statements(self, ACTION_RESET, 1);


What do you think about it?

[issue8604] Adding an atomic FS write API

2011-12-23 Thread Charles-François Natali

Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment:

 If you want atomicity to apply to logging,
 you must instead guarantee the durability of each write() call, meaning
 calling fsync() on each logging call

Why so?
There's no point in calling fsync() after each write, since data is
written to a temporary file which won't be visible before rename():
even if you call fsync() after each write, if the file is not properly
closed, it won't be committed (i.e.renamed).
You just need to call fsync() once before closing the file, and then
rename it, to ensure that the committed file version is consistent.
In the meantime, you could do whatever you want with the stream (the
hypothetical AtomicFile): seek(), read(), etc. I'm not sure many
methods besides write will be useful, but for example one could easily
imagine that the library expects the passed object to have a fileno()
method.

Ah, it's a temporary file indeed.
But does that mean you can't inspect your logs in real time? All log
files I have ever seen are available under their final name while they
are still being written to.

 In the meantime, you could do whatever you want with the stream (the
 hypothetical AtomicFile): seek(), read(), etc.

I see. Yes, then an AtomicFile class makes sense (not for logging
though, IMHO :-)).

And I understand your point about it being available in io or some io
submodule (not a 3-level deep one though :-)). Perhaps you want to ask
on python-dev?

[issue5689] Support xz compression in tarfile module

2011-12-23 Thread Nadeem Vawda

Nadeem Vawda nadeem.va...@gmail.com added the comment:

Yes, that's a good idea. I've been testing a similar change, and it seems
to drop the peak memory usage for test_tarfile from around 810MB down to
under 200MB. It looks like 2GB genuinely isn't enough to reliably use LZMA
compression with preset=9.

You might want to use preset=None instead of explicitly saying preset=6,
though. This tells LZMAFile to use the default preset, and will allow you
to get rid of the if-statement on lines 1821-1823.

Something unrelated that I noticed in the surrounding code: gzopen and
bz2open validate the mode by testing 'len(mode)  1 or mode not in rw'.
This would be simpler as 'mode not in (r, w)' (like you've done in
xzopen), and it would accept only r and w (but not  or rw).

[issue13658] Extra clause in class grammar documentation

2011-12-23 Thread Joshua Landau

New submission from Joshua Landau joshua.landau...@gmail.com:

Inside the grammar for classes[1], the documentation states that the 
inheritance list can be of type:
( [argument_list [,] | comprehension] )

The comprehension part seems to be superfluous, especially as it is valid 
grammar without the clause.

The 2.7 docs state just [expression list], so either the addition should be 
justified or the extra clause removed.

[issue8828] Atomic function to rename a file

2011-12-23 Thread R. David Murray

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

Ah, I see, people may be depending on rename on Windows not overwriting.

I suppose a new function (and eventually deprecating the old?) would be the 
most straightforward way forward, though I dislike the necessity :)

An alternative might be a flag on rename: overwrite=['always', 'os_default'], 
with a warning and a switch of the default in a subsequent release.  That's 
ugly too, of course.  The existing per-platform variation in behavior of rename 
gives us a mess to deal with.

[issue8828] Atomic function to rename a file

2011-12-23 Thread Charles-François Natali

Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment:

I'd prefer an optional flag to rename() too.
I really don't like having different functions that achieve the same thing.
It's not obvious to infer from 'replace' its real intent, since it
doesn't match any standard syscall/library.
Ideally, this should be made an option to rename(), especially since
on Unix this will just perform a standard rename.
Another advantage of options over new functions is that it reduces
boilerplate code (i.e. argument parsing, addition to posix_methods,
repeating OS idiosyncrasies/conditional compilation blocks, docstring,
documentation block...).
But I remember Martin thinks that the os module should just be a thin wrapper 
around underlying syscalls/libraries (but we already have listdir() and 
friends).

[issue13511] Specifying multiple lib and include directories on linux

2011-12-23 Thread Ray

Ray rpq...@hotmail.com added the comment:

Whether or not includedir and libdir are supposed to allow multiple packages is 
beyond me at this point so I'll change the topic to more reflect the problem I 
am having.  More importantly (and possibly related to includedir and libdir) is 
the fact that python 2.7 does not allow specifying multiple lib and include 
directories in linux.  Is there one way to do this that I overlooked? I 
included the bit about includedir, libdir, CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS in my original 
post to show what I tried.  

Is it a standard for CFLAGS AND LDFLAGS to accept multiple directories? I would 
think so.  With the current python 2.7 and linux, that simply does not work.  
But it does for darwin platforms?

From setup.py:

 if platform == 'darwin':
 # This should work on any unixy platform ;-)
 # If the user has bothered specifying additional -I and -L flags
 # in OPT and LDFLAGS we might as well use them here.

I'm good with None/True, but that would imply that for posix rename we'll need

I think a warning would be good, because a unix programmer will assume rename

2011-12-23 Thread Charles-François Natali

Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment:

+1.

 One of the Python advantages is providing predictable cross-platform 
 behavior. If we can't introduce nice API without BC break, it is not
 a reason to introduce ulgy API.

We cannot make rename() overwrite existing files by default (on Windows).
It's out of question, too much code might rely on this, and this may very well 
introduce security flaws.
If you're concerned with the semantics difference between platforms, well, 
there's not much we can do about it now. Java behaves in the same way, for 
example.

 I'm good with None/True, but that would imply that for posix rename 
 we'll need to implement the overwrite=False option...which would be a 
 nice thing (the shell mv command has -i for that).

Why?
The problem is that it's simply impossible to implement reliably.
I didn't check mv source code, but it must be using something like:

if '-i' and os.path.exists(target_path):
continue
os.rename(src_path, target_path).

But there's a TOCTTOU race.

2011/12/23 Charles-François Natali rep...@bugs.python.org

  One of the Python advantages is providing predictable cross-platform
  behavior. If we can't introduce nice API without BC break, it is not
  a reason to introduce ulgy API.

 We cannot make rename() overwrite existing files by default (on Windows).
 It's out of question, too much code might rely on this, and this may very
 well introduce security flaws.
 If you're concerned with the semantics difference between platforms, well,
 there's not much we can do about it now. Java behaves in the same way, for
 example.


I propose quite the opposite. rename() should not overwrite existing files
by default.

os.rename(overwrite=False) by default will do less harm than the opposite,
so I'd say it is a way to go even if it can not be reliably done on POSIX.
But I believe correct file system that supports transactions will make it
possible to do reliably on POSIX too.

Then I believe that having a small chance of overwriting file just created
at exactly the same moment on a POSIX is a small price to pay for function
that does safety check before rename on a platform that doesn't have such
functionality at all. If you need this functionality - you will still do
'if exists ... rename' and the TOCTTOU race will affect you. So, the only
exit is to place a little sign in some extreme cases Linux suffers from
TOCTTOU problem when renaming files without overwriting, so keep that in
mind.

BUT let me remind you that this bug is about Atomic rename which should
rollback in case of errors.

As a Windows programmer I am quite surprised to read this thread with

[issue8828] Atomic function to rename a file

2011-12-23 Thread R. David Murray

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

So maybe my warning idea isn't such a bad idea :)

As a unix programmer, I was very surprised to read in this thread that Windows 
doesn't overwrite the file on rename.  As a unix programmer, I don't check for 
errors on a rename, because I expect it to just work.  I'd like the windows 
rename call to stop throwing errors if the file exists, it breaks my programs 
if they run on windows.

(Actually, very few of my programs ever get run on Windows, but you get the 
idea.)

Thus, the only possible course is to maintain backward compatibility, and allow 
the programmers who care to specify the desired behavior.  Since one of the 
important aspects of 'rename' in unix programmers' minds is that it is atomic, 
a race condition is not acceptable, therefore overwrite=False is not an 
acceptable option for os.rename.

As a Windows programmer, you are not really qualified to criticize the

As a Linux programmer, I don't want to see the default behaviour

We don't strive to achieve consensus. Agreement among the majority of

[issue13657] IDLE doesn't support sys.ps1 and sys.ps2.

2011-12-23 Thread Roger Serwy

Roger Serwy roger.se...@gmail.com added the comment:

This would make the IDLE shell interface more consistent with the original 
interpreter. 

Presently, the   prompt is faked by showprompt in PyShell.py. It relies 
on sys from the IDLE gui process and not from the sys in the subprocess, so 
mimicking the changed prompt would require querying the subprocess for its 
sys.ps1 and sys.ps2. The enter_callback method will need modification to 
remove sys.ps2 from the text buffer before execution. Also, EditorWindow.py has 
code for handling sys.ps1 in smart_backspace_event and 
newline_and_indent_event. 

If anything, this shell-specific, prompt-handling code needs some refactoring 
as it should only be in PyShell.py, not in EditorWindow.py.
Issue13039 is a result of prompt code side-effects in EditorWindow.py.

[issue13639] UnicodeDecodeError when creating tar.gz with unicode name

2011-12-23 Thread Terry J. Reedy

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

2.7 is closed to new features. This looks like it mignt be one. The 2.7 doc for 
tarfile.open says Return a TarFile object for the pathname name. Does the 
meaning of 'pathname' in 2.7 generally include unicode as well as str objects? 
(It is not in the Glossary.) 

 The error does not occur under Python 3 (even with non-ascii characters), so 
 it should be possible to create a tarfile with a unicode filename on Python 
 2.7.

Python 3 has many new features that are not in 2.7, so 'possible' is not 
exactly the point ;-).

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

When I run this with 3.2.2 IDLE, from an edit window, I get an MSVC++ Runtime 
Library window: Runtime Error! .../pythonw This application has requested 
termination in an unusual way When I close that, IDLE continues. So I 
would say that this is not a crash and not even a bug, but a particular choice 
of undefined behavior given infinite loop code. So we have no obligation to 
change it. I presume the change from 2.x is a side-effect of a change to 
improve something else.

def recurse(): recurse()
recurse()

does print RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded but only after 
printing al  o  n  gtraceback. So for running from IDLE, I at least 
half prefer the immediate error box with no traceback.

[issue13653] reorder set.intersection parameters for better performance

2011-12-23 Thread Terry J. Reedy

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

Given that equality is not identify, order does matter, although in 3.2.2 the 
results are the opposite of what one might expect.

a = set((1,2,3))
b = set((1.0, 3.0, 5.0))
print(ab, ba)
print(a.intersection(b), b.intersection(a))
a = b
print(a)
 
{1.0, 3.0} {1, 3}
{1.0, 3.0} {1, 3}
{1.0, 3.0}

In my view, a = b should remove the members of a that are not in b, rather 
than deleting all and replacing some with equal members of b.

That glitch aside,  remains and remains binary for exact control of order. The 
doc should just say that intersection may re-order the intersection for 
efficiency.

[issue13657] IDLE doesn't support sys.ps1 and sys.ps2.

2011-12-23 Thread Terry J. Reedy

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

 so mimicking the changed prompt would require querying the subprocess for its 
 sys.ps1 and sys.ps2.

Is that sensibly possible? Any line of code can change those, so IDLE would 
have to do the equivalent of
idle.ps1,idle.ps2 = sys.ps1, sys.ps2 before every new ps1 statement prompt. A 
configuration option might work better.
  
I would rather remove the prompts from the entry window itself, and use 4 char 
indents instead of 8, so that cutting does not pick up the prompts.  IDLE does 
not have to exactly imitate the Command Window interface. It could also give 
the user a choice.

[issue6092] Changed Shortcuts don't show up in menu

2011-12-23 Thread Roger Serwy

Roger Serwy roger.se...@gmail.com added the comment:

This only applies to menu items from extensions (in this case, 
ScriptBinding.py). Other events (Copy, Cut, Paste, etc) update the menu 
shortcut properly.

IDLE handles bindings for extensions separately from built-in functions. As a 
consequence, bindings for extensions do not get saved with custom key maps in 
~/.idlerc/config-keys.cfg, but instead in ~/.idlerc/config-extensions.cfg.

[issue13657] IDLE doesn't support sys.ps1 and sys.ps2.

2011-12-23 Thread Roger Serwy

Roger Serwy roger.se...@gmail.com added the comment:

 Is that sensibly possible? Any line of code can change those, so IDLE would 
 have to do the equivalent of idle.ps1,idle.ps2 = sys.ps1, sys.ps2 before 
 every new ps1 statement prompt.

It may be possible if the code gets refactored such that the subprocess handles 
the prompt and has stdin/stdout/stderr through RPCProxy treat the PyShell text 
widget as a dumb terminal.

 I would rather remove the prompts from the entry window itself, and use 4 
 char indents instead of 8, so that cutting does not pick up the prompts.  
 IDLE does not have to exactly imitate the Command Window interface. It could 
 also give the user a choice.

This is #11838 and #1178.

[issue13659] Add a help() viewer for IDLE's Shell.

2011-12-23 Thread maniram maniram

New submission from maniram maniram maniandra...@gmail.com:

If you call help() a few times on some objects, due to help()'s output IDLE's 
Shell Window becomes very long and it becomes difficult to scroll through the 
window.

I suggest a new window should be opened when help() is called in IDLE so that 
no help output comes in the IDLE Shell Window.

This bug doesn't affect the Python command-line on Linux (and I think Mac OS X) 
since help() uses the less program to display the help output.

[issue13607] Move generator specific sections out of ceval.

2011-12-23 Thread Ron Adam

Ron Adam ron3...@gmail.com added the comment:

Updated patch with suggested changes.

It also has a cleaned up fast_block_end section.

Concerning speed. What happens is (as Tim and Raymond have pointed out) that we 
can make some things a little faster, in exchange for other things being a 
little slower.  You can play around with the order of the why cases in the 
fast_block_end section and see that effect.

By using a switch instead of if-else's, that should result in more consistent 
balance between the block exit cases.  The order I currently have gives a 
little more priority for exceptions and that seems to help a tiny bit with the 
ccbench scores.  I think that is a better bench mark than the small micro tests 
like pybench does.  The problem with pybench is, it doesn't test deeper nesting 
where these particular changes will have a greater effect.

[issue13659] Add a help() viewer for IDLE's Shell.

2011-12-23 Thread maniram maniram

maniram maniram maniandra...@gmail.com added the comment:

Sorry, new window in I suggest a new window should be a new read-only editor 
window.
It could be implemented through a wrapper around help.
IDLE could have a configuration option whether to use the traditional help() or 
the new help() which opens a new window.
