Release of faulthandler 1.4
faulthandler is a module to display the Python backtrace on a fatal error (eg. segfault), after a delay (eg. 60 minutes) or when a user signal is send (eg. SIGUSR1). Changes of the version 1.4: * Add register() and unregister() functions * Add optional all_threads argument to enable() * Limit the backtrace to 100 threads * Allocate an alternative stack for the fatal signal handler to be able to display a backtrace on a stack overflow (define HAVE_SIGALTSTACK). Not available on Windows. * Windows installer for Python 3.2(RC3) You can choose the output file (sys.stderr by default) and to dump the backtrace of the current thread (default) or of all threads. faulthandler works on Python 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 and 3.2. It is tested on Linux, FreeBSD on Windows, it should work on any operating system.

Missing SIGCHLD
Hi, I currently build a process management system which is able to fork child processes (fork()) and keep them alive (waitpid() ). if pid in self.current_workers: os.waitpid(pid, 0) If a child process dies, it should trigger a SIGCHLD signal and a handler is installed to catch the signal and start a new child process. The code is nothing special, just can be seen in any Python tutorial you can find on the net. signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, self.restart_child_process) signal.signal(signal.SIGHUP, self.handle) # reload signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, self.handle) signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, self.handle) signal.signal(signal.SIGQUIT, self.handle) However, this code does not always work as expected. Most of the time, it works. When a child process exits, the master process receives a SIGCHLD and restart_child_process() method is invoked automatically to start a new child process. But the problem is that sometimes, I know a child process exits due to an unexpected exception (via log file) but it seems that master process does not know about it. No SIGCHLD and so restart_child_process() is not triggered. Therefore, no new child process is forked. Could you please kindly tell me why this happens? Is there any special code that need being installed to ensure that every dead child will be informed correctly?

I was looking to create exe files. Reviewing various posts here, I felt py2exe may be the best thing I can opt for. But for Python2.6 I found the following note in the py2exe tutorial: For Python 2.6, the DLL you need is called MSVCR90.dll. Py2exe is not able to automatically include this DLL in your dist directory, so you must provide it yourself. To complicate things, there is more than one version of this DLL in existance, each with the same filename. You need the same version that the Python interpreter was compiled with, which is version 9.0.21022.8. Through the remainder of these instructions, hover your mouse over the dll file (or the vcredist_x86.exe installer executable) to confirm which version you've got. My questions are: (i) From where I can download MSVCR90.dll ? Is there any trusted site? (ii) How to install the same? (iii) Would py2exe work fine if I install it? (iv) Is there any other exe creating program which does not have all these problems?

Do you expect the 3 lines above will generate a setup.py file ? You are wrong you must create your setup.py file yourself, and this file must contains the 3 lines above, and more a lot more .. Then you will run python setup.py py2exe to generate your .exe file It is giving some error messages. Any suggestions?

One can modify this slightly:
s = 'xxaabbddee'
m = re.compile('..')
s1 = ':'.join(m.findall(s))
Depending on one's taste this could be clearer. The more general
answer, from the itertools docs:
from itertools import izip_longest
def grouper(n, iterable, fillvalue=None):
grouper(3, 'ABCDEFG', 'x') -- ABC DEF Gxx
args = [iter(iterable)] * n
return izip_longest(fillvalue=fillvalue, *args)
s2 = ':'.join(''.join(pair) for pair in grouper(2, s, ''))
Note that this behaves differently to the previous solutions, for
sequences with an odd length.

I find: map(func, iterable) to be neater than: [func(item) for item in iterable] If nothing else, the map version is shorter. More importantly, in the 2.x series (which I am often limited to for compatibility reasons), the variable used in the list comprehension leaks to the following code: $ python Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 15:52:39) [GCC 4.4.5] on linux2 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. del item Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module NameError: name 'item' is not defined [int(item) for item in range(10)] [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] item 9 which can cause hard-to-find bugs. Fortunately this has been corrected in 3.x. Also, as already shown, the map version is faster.

[ANN] Oktest 0.8.0 released - a new-style testing library
I released Oktest 0.8.0.
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Oktest/
http://packages.python.org/Oktest/
Oktest is a new-style testing library for Python.
::
from oktest import ok, NG
ok (x) 0 # same as assert_(x 0)
ok (s) == 'foo'# same as assertEqual(s, 'foo')
ok (s) != 'foo'# same as assertNotEqual(s, 'foo')
ok (f).raises(ValueError) # same as assertRaises(ValueError, f)
ok (u'foo').is_a(unicode) # same as assert_(isinstance(u'foo', unicode))
NG (u'foo').is_a(int) # same as assert_(not isinstance(u'foo', int))
ok ('A.txt').is_file() # same as assert_(os.path.isfile('A.txt'))
NG ('A.txt').is_dir() # same as assert_(not os.path.isdir('A.txt'))
See http://packages.python.org/Oktest/ for details.
NOTICE!! Oktest is a young project and specification may change in the future.
Enhancements and Changes
* add ``NG()`` which is same as not_ok().
* enhanced to proive egg files for Python 3.
* enhanced to support assertion method chaining. ::
ok (sos.upper()).is_a(str).matches(r'^[A-Z]+$') == SOS
* ``ok().matches()`` can take flag parameter which is passed to re.compile().
ok (\nSOS\n).matches(r'^[A-Z]+$', re.M)
## same as:
#ok(\nSOS\n).matches(r.compile(r'^[A-Z]$', re.M))
* enhance helper methods to be available without with-statement.
(this is necessary for Python 2.4 which is default version on CentOS.)
from oktest.helper import chdir
def fn():
ok (os.getcwd()) == /tmp
chdir(/tmp).run(fn)
## this is same as:
#with chdir(/tmp):
# ok (os.getcwd()) == /tmp
from oktest.dummy import dummy_file
def fn():
ok (A.txt).is_file()
ok (open(A.txt).read()) == SOS
dummy_file(A.txt, SOS).run(fun)
## this is same as:
#with dummy_file(A.txt, SOS):
# ok (open(A.txt).read()) == SOS
* ``spec()`` now checks environment variable $SPEC.
This is useful to filter test cases.
## test script
from oktest import oktest, run
class StrTest(object):
def test_upper(self):
if spec(returns upper case string):
ok (sos.upper()) == SOS
if spec(doesn't change non-alphabetics):
ok (sos123.upper()) == SOS123
if __name__ == __main__:
run()
## terminal
$ SPEC=returns upper case string python test1.py
* fix ``oktest.run()`` to print correct traceback if ok() is called from
nested function.
* fix content of README.txt.

Re: Missing SIGCHLD
On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 2:57 AM, Dinh pcd...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I currently build a process management system which is able to fork child processes (fork()) and keep them alive (waitpid() ). if pid in self.current_workers: os.waitpid(pid, 0) If a child process dies, it should trigger a SIGCHLD signal and a handler is installed to catch the signal and start a new child process. The code is nothing special, just can be seen in any Python tutorial you can find on the net. signal.signal(signal.SIGCHLD, self.restart_child_process) signal.signal(signal.SIGHUP, self.handle) # reload signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, self.handle) signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, self.handle) signal.signal(signal.SIGQUIT, self.handle) However, this code does not always work as expected. Most of the time, it works. When a child process exits, the master process receives a SIGCHLD and restart_child_process() method is invoked automatically to start a new child process. But the problem is that sometimes, I know a child process exits due to an unexpected exception (via log file) but it seems that master process does not know about it. No SIGCHLD and so restart_child_process() is not triggered. Therefore, no new child process is forked. Could you please kindly tell me why this happens? Is there any special code that need being installed to ensure that every dead child will be informed correctly? Mac OSX 10.6 Python 2.6.6 Hi Dinh. I've done no Mac OS/X programming, but I've done Python and *ix signals some - so I'm going to try to help you, but it'll be kind of stabbing in the dark. *ix signals have historically been rather unreliable and troublesome when used heavily. There are BSD signals, SysV signals, and POSIX signals - they all try to solve the problems in different ways. Oh, and Linux has a way of doing signals using file descriptors that apparently helps quite a bit. I'm guessing your Mac will have available BSD and maybe POSIX signals, but you might check on that. You might try using ktrace on your Mac to see if any SIGCHLD signals are getting lost (it definitely happens in some scenarios), and hopefully, which kind of (C level) signal API CPython is using on your Mac also. You might also make sure your SIGCHLD signal handler is not just waitpid'ing once per invocation, but rather doing a nonblocking waitpid in a loop until no process is found, in case signals are lost (especially if/when signals occur during signal handler processing). If the loop in your signal handler doesn't help (enough), you could also try using a nonblocking waitpid in a SIGALARM handler in addition to your SIGCHLD handler. Some signal API's want you to reenable the signal as your first action in your signal handler to shorten a race window. Hopefully Mac OS/X doesn't need this, but you might check on it. BTW, CPython signals and CPython threads don't play very nicely together; if you're combining them, you might want to study up on this. Oh, also, signals in CPython will tend to cause system calls to return without completing, and giving an EINTR in errno, and not all CPython modules will understand what to do with that. :( Sadly, many application programmers tend to ignore the EINTR possibility.

Displaying SVG in tkinter using cairo and rsvg
Hi all,
Information on using tkinter for displaying an svg image seems a bit low
spread on the Internet. I recently played around with pygame and svg and
realized, hold on this can be done with tk too. So I thought I post a

How can I define __getattr__ to operate on all items of container and pass arguments?
I have a container object. It is quite frequent that I want to call a function
on each item in the container. I would like to do this whenever I call a
function on the container that doesn't exist, i.e., the container would return
an attribute error.
For example
class Cont(object):
def __init__(self):
self.items = []
def contMethod(self, args):
print(I'm in contMethod.)
def __getattr__(self, name):
for I in self.items:
# How can I pass arguments to I.__dict__[name]?
I.__dict__[name]
C = Cont()
# Add some items to C
C.contMethod()
I'm in contMethod.
C.itemMethod('abc')
??
The trouble I'm getting into is that I can't pass arguments to the attributes
in the contained item. In the example above, I can't pass 'abc' to the
'itemMethod' method of each item in the container.
Does someone know how I can accomplish this?

Jeremy

logging module -- better timestamp accuracy on Windows
The Python logging module calls time.time() in LogRecord.__init__ to fetch the timestamp of the log record. However, time.time() isn't particularly accurate on Windows. We're logging start and end of our requests in our web server, which can be milliseconds apart, and the log timestamps often show up as identical, but time.clock() is telling us several milliseconds have actually elapsed. The fix is to use time.clock() if running on win32 (like timeit does). Here's how I've improved the accuracy for us: - if sys.platform == 'win32': # Running on win32, time.clock() is much more accurate than # time.time(), use it for LogRecord timestamps # Get the initial time and call time.clock() once to start it _start_time = time.time() time.clock() def _formatTimeAccurate(self, record, datefmt): # This is a bit nasty, as it modifies record.created and # record.msecs, but apart from monkey-patching Formatter.__init__, # how else do we do it? accurate_time = _start_time + time.clock() record.created = time.localtime(accurate_time) record.msecs = (accurate_time - int(accurate_time)) * 1000 return time.strftime(datefmt, record.created) # Override logging.Formatter's formatTime() so all logging calls # go through this logging.Formatter.formatTime = _formatTimeAccurate - This works, but as you can see, it's a bit hacky. Is there a better way to fix it? (I'd like the fix to affect all loggers, including the root logger.) I'm somewhat surprised that no one else has run into this before. Maybe I'm the only one who uses logging heavily under Windows ... :-) Thanks, Ben. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Try calling the function double() from the list comp, instead of inlining it. Yes, if you can avoid a function call, list comps are faster than map. That's a valuable micro-optimization, although the warning about premature optimizations and small efficiencies apply. But the number of operations that can be inlined is only a vanishingly small subset of all operations you might choose to perform, and in general, map is faster than list comps with both C built-ins and pure Python functions. There's no doubt that list comps are a moderate win for readability and speed when you can inline the function as opposed to defining a lambda inside the map. But otherwise, it's a myth that map is generally slower and longer than list comps. It's usually the other way around: map(function, data) [function(x) for x in data] Even in Python3 where map becomes an iterator, it's still shorter: list(map(function, data)) [function(x) for x in data] (by two whole characters! Woo hoo, I don't need to upgrade my hard drive!!! *wink*) Conceptually, a map is a single operation. You don't have to think about the implementation, namely, iterate over the sequence, extracting each item into a temporary variable, and call the function on that temporary variable. You just map the function to the sequence, and don't worry about the implementation. I really appreciate that. Sometimes I wish that Python would let me write function(data), although given that this would be ambiguous, map is the next best thing. map is only likely to be faster if you wanted to call a function in both cases. If you have an expression that can be inlined you save the function call overhead with the list comprehension. Exactly. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thus (untested): def __getattr__(self, name): def _multiplexed(*args, **kwargs): return [getattr(item, name)(*args, **kwargs) for item in self.items] return _multiplexed Perfect, that's what I needed. I realized that I didn't have the arguments to the function, but couldn't figure out how to do it. This works like a charm. Thanks a lot! Jeremy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Is the variable subject to getting rebound to an entirely new value/object? The answers to these questions will determine how much work will be required to trace changes to the variable. I know of no built-in way to directly do such a thing, but the underlying functionality necessary to implement such a feature (e.g. sys.settrace, __getattribute__, __setattr__) does exist.

floating point woes
Hi, while I usually cope with the woes of floating point issues, this is one, that I didn't expect: round(2.385, 2) 2.3799 Doesn't the docs say, it's rounded up for this case? quote Values are rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus n; if two multiples are equally close, rounding is done away from 0 /quote Well, that one is clearly rounding down. What's up, eh, down here? Pete Python 2.6 (r26:66714, Feb 8 2011, 08:50:11) [GCC 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]] on linux2 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Map vs. List Comprehensions (was lint warnings)
Generally, I prefer map() over list comprehensions since they are more
succinct and run faster for non-trivial examples. However, I've been
considering another use case related to functions in the operator
module. Here are some examples:
[x.method() for x in data]
[x[0] for x in data]
[x.attr for x in data]
can be implemented as:
from operator import methodcaller, itemgetter, attrgetter
m = methodcaller('method')
g = itemgetter(0)
a = attrgetter('attr')
map(m, data)
map(g, data)
map(a, data)
I find that using map here generally is a little slower than the list
comprehension, perhaps because of the extra work the operator methods
have to do:
m = methodcaller('upper')
g = itemgetter(0)
a = attrgetter('__class__')
s = a
Timer('[x.upper() for x in s]', 'from __main__ import s').timeit()
1.8678569793701172
Timer('map(m, s)', 'from __main__ import s, m').timeit()
2.1330718994140625
Timer('[x[0] for x in s]', 'from __main__ import s').timeit()
1.6577358245849609
Timer('map(g, s)', 'from __main__ import s, g').timeit()
1.8645310401916504
Timer('[x.__class__ for x in s]', 'from __main__ import s').timeit()
1.7232599258422852
Timer('map(a, s)', 'from __main__ import s, a').timeit()
2.4131419658660889
So, what's the feeling out there? Go with map and the operators or
stick with the list comps?

If I hadn't quitted smoking a long time ago, I would go and ask, what these engineers smoked during the course of inventing this sh*t. Like most tools, IEEE floating point works brilliantly for what it was intended when used by people who know how to use it. The problem is that it's used for all sorts of things it shouldn't be by people who don't understand how it works (again, like most tools). The problem is that it _appears_ easy to use, but it actually takes some study and effort to use it right. Back in the days before FP hardware was affordable, it used to be fairly common for BCD to be the default FP representation in many non-Fortran languages (BASIC, Pascal, etc.). I think that probably provided a lot fewer surprises to most users. Even more probably, they took way too much of a special form of lysergic acid. OTOH, cdecimals, as in Stefan Krah's package are long overdue to get into the core. There probably needs to be some sort of BCD FP option for the casual user since most people would probably be better off with BCD. Those who need HW FP probably know it (and might even know how to use it).

unicode shutil.copy() changes a file name during copy?
i'm on windows, using active python 2.7.1 i've written a script to copy a folder of files to dest folder.. one if the files in this folder has the section symbol (§, '\x15') as part of the file name shutil.copy(src_file, dst_file) can't find the file specified when it does the os.chmod() part, can't find dest file, cuz the file got copied with _ in place of the section symbol. gar. Traceback (most recent call last): File ../../python/post_build.py, line 159, in module main(proB, debugB) File ../../python/post_build.py, line 105, in main paths.copy_folder(srcResFolder + 'Export', destRes + '/codecs/ Export') File F:\Users\davec\Developer\depot\kJams\Development\xplat\python \paths.py, line 77, in copy_folder copy_folder(srcPath, new_dst_obj) File F:\Users\davec\Developer\depot\kJams\Development\xplat\python \paths.py, line 80, in copy_folder copy_file(srcPath, new_dst_obj) File F:\Users\davec\Developer\depot\kJams\Development\xplat\python \paths.py, line 37, in copy_file shutil.copy(src_file, dst_file) File C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py, line 117, in copy copymode(src, dst) File C:\Python27\lib\shutil.py, line 90, in copymode os.chmod(dst, mode) WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'build\\kJams Pro Debug.app/Contents/Resources/codecs/Export/Codec [MooV]/Animation \xa7 AAC.rtm' if i replace that with shutil.copyfile(src_file, dst_file) it works, again by replacing the section symbol with underbar. but that leaves me to call os.chmod() myself, which of course fails because of the character substitution. i'm gathering the list of files to iterate over the folder via: fileList = os.listdir(src_dir) for fileName in fileList: and yes, src_dir is unicode. but the fileName when i print it shows the degree symbol (°, '\xa7') in place of the section symbol. i suspect it's a 'dbcs' or 'latin_1' problem? this same exact python code works on the mac (it's utf8 down to the metal) and, get this, it works when running Windows under Parallels Desktop.

Re: Missing SIGCHLD
On Feb 15, 1:28 pm, Dan Stromberg drsali...@gmail.com wrote: *ix signals have historically been rather unreliable and troublesome when used heavily. There are BSD signals, SysV signals, and POSIX signals - they all try to solve the problems in different ways. No, there are just signals[1]. There are several different APIs for handling signals, depending on the situation, but they're all driving the same functionality underneath the covers. These days, only sigaction(2) is remotely usable (in C) for installing handlers and all the other APIs should normally be ignored. You might also make sure your SIGCHLD signal handler is not just waitpid'ing once per invocation, but rather doing a nonblocking waitpid in a loop until no process is found, in case signals are lost (especially if/when signals occur during signal handler processing). This is the most likely the issue. Multiple instances of the same pending signals are coalesced together automatically. It would also help to make sure the signal handler just sets a flag, within the application's main loop it should then respond to that flag appropriately. Running anything inside a signal handler is a recipe for disaster. Also, SIGCHLD handlers may not get reinstalled on some operating systems (even in Python), so the application code needs to reinstall it. If not done within the signal handler, this can caused signals to get lost. That being said, I'd just spawn a thread and wait there and avoid SIGCHLD altogether. It's typically not worth the hassle. Oh, also, signals in CPython will tend to cause system calls to return without completing, and giving an EINTR in errno, and not all CPython modules will understand what to do with that. :( Sadly, many application programmers tend to ignore the EINTR possibility. This can be disabled by signal.siginterrupt(). Regardless, the signal handling facilities provided by Python are rather poor.

Hello,
In fact as found in the net:
The concept of browser frames is completely outside the scope of
HTTP. However, browser frames are defined in HTML, and so is the
target property on form elements: lt;form action=/somescript?x=y
method=POST target=_topgt; This will make the form submit to the
_top frame, which means use the full browser window
That means that my post form:
FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=/ddts/ddts_main
ENCTYPE=application/x-www-form-urlencoded TARGET=rightframe
has a target property to make the submit to the 'rightframe'.

Interactively there are 3 frames but only this one is of interest
for me. But no name of this page is visible in the main html page.
Is there a method to get all the nested frames locations?
2) I can see this page interactively when I click on a submit query
button. Do I need to add 'ACTION': Query input form
in the query dictionnary to simulate a click for submission
(type=submit button) ?
3) Interactively I see that cgi arg NextForm is empty so I let it

New submission from Martin von Gagern martin.vgag...@gmx.net: If I follow the documentation at http://docs.python.org/library/unittest.html#unittest.main by putting the following two snippets of code in my module file: def load_tests(loader, standard_tests, pattern='test*.py'): # top level directory cached on loader instance this_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__) package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern) standard_tests.addTests(package_tests) return standard_tests if __name__ == __main__: unittest.main() then the application will fail with an obscure error message: == ERROR: __main__ (unittest.loader.LoadTestsFailure) -- TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() -- Ran 1 test in 0.000s Monkeypatching unittest.loader._make_failed_load_tests to display a stack trace, I got this: Traceback (most recent call last): File /usr/lib64/python2.7/unittest/loader.py, line 71, in loadTestsFromModule return load_tests(self, tests, None) File tester.py, line 15, in load_tests package_tests = loader.discover(start_dir=this_dir, pattern=pattern) File /usr/lib64/python2.7/unittest/loader.py, line 204, in discover tests = list(self._find_tests(start_dir, pattern)) File /usr/lib64/python2.7/unittest/loader.py, line 247, in _find_tests if not self._match_path(path, full_path, pattern): File /usr/lib64/python2.7/unittest/loader.py, line 235, in _match_path return fnmatch(path, pattern) File /usr/lib64/python2.7/fnmatch.py, line 43, in fnmatch return fnmatchcase(name, pat) File /usr/lib64/python2.7/fnmatch.py, line 75, in fnmatchcase res = translate(pat) File /usr/lib64/python2.7/fnmatch.py, line 87, in translate i, n = 0, len(pat) TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len() The error is due to the fact that pattern is passed as None to load_tests, but apparently loader.discover doesn't loke a None pattern. I would suggest that a) discover internally translates None to the default of 'test*.py' or b) the documentation is changed to cater for this common use case, i.e. by including a pattern is None case distinction in its load_tests snippet. In case b) is implemented but not a), it would be nice to have a more expressive error message by catching the error somewhat sooner. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) files: tester.py messages: 128579 nosy: docs@python, gagern priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pattern=None when following documentation for load_tests and unittest.main() type: feature request versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20763/tester.py ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11218 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue11217] python-32 not linked in /usr/local/bin in framework builds
Ned Deily n...@acm.org added the comment: Taking a quick look at it, it appears that the Mac Makefile installunixtools target could/should create those links. Note, this is not a problem for the standard OS X installers as Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py (in buildPython) ensures that links are made in /usr/local/bin for all files in the framework bin directory at the end of the build. -- assignee: ronaldoussoren - ned.deily nosy: +ned.deily stage: - needs patch versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue11217 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue11216] email.message.Message set_charset does not encode properly?
Steffen Daode Nurpmeso sdao...@googlemail.com added the comment: Shay.Rojansky: because of the fact that i needed a free last saturday for just having the time to click around a bit to find the relevant docs in the python.org jungle ... http://wiki.python.org/moin/Email%20SIG and *especially* http://wiki.python.org/moin/Email%20SIG/DesignThoughts may be of interest for you - read those when you are starting to think that it's you who is broken. Nope! It's really the package! P.S.: sorry, David, i really didn't know, and somehow i also missed that single minute to look at bitdance.com. But now i've found the docs and maybe here time is being worth enough for a broken package to be fixed, the right way. Then even more people can earn more money in a hurry - with it.

[issue5831] Doc mistake : threading.Timer is *not* a class
Martijn van Oosterhout klep...@gmail.com added the comment: Note this is a behaviour change. Under the old scheme (Foo is a class) Foo.timerclass = Timer created a method, whereas now it will just assign the class as an attribute. To work around this you had to use _Timer. Will that dummy class remain as an alias to avoid breaking code (in 2.7 at least)? -- nosy: +Martijn.van.Oosterhout ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5831 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
