Correct. Randomness is meaningful only in reference to future events.
Once the events take place, they cease to be random.

A finite, randomly generated collection of bits can be tested against a
probabilistic hypothesis using statistical methods.

I actually like how the Tk widgets look.  I've done some semi-industrial
applications with tkinter and they have a nice factory-floor vibe.

I generally just use pdb for debugging.  The feature I miss most is the
ability to trap to the debugger if the program throws an unhandled
exception.  I think some other Python debuggers do support that.  I've
found it invaluable in other languages.

How to plot

[Andrew Z]

Hello,
 i'd like to create a graph/plot based a DB table's data, but not sure
where to start. I

 also would like to have the following functionality:
 a. i'd like to have it in the separate window ( xwindow to be precise).
 b. and i'd like to have the graph updating with every record added to the
table.

The workflow:
 a. main code is running and occasionally adding records to the table
 b. graph gets updated "automagically" and is shown in a separate from the
main terminal window.

Main program does not have GUI, nor is Web based, just runs in the terminal
on Xwindows.

i don't' really care about cross-platform compability and only want to run
that on linux xwindows.

Thank you for your advise.

[issue31863] Inconsistent returncode/exitcode for terminated child processes on Windows

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun  added the comment:

A C/C++ program returns EXIT_FAILURE for a generic failure. Microsoft defines 
this macro value as 1. Most tools that a user might use to forcibly terminate a 
process don't allow specifying the reason; they just use the generic value of 
1. This includes Task Manager, taskkill.exe /f, the WDK's kill.exe -f, and 
Sysinternals pskill.exe and Process Explorer. subprocess and multiprocessing 
should also use 1 to be consistent.

The system itself doesn't distinguish a forced termination from a normal exit. 
Ultimately every thread and process gets terminated by the system calls 
NtTerminateThread and NtTerminateProcess (or the equivalent Process Manager 
private functions PspTerminateThreadByPointer, PspTerminateProcess, etc). 
Windows API TerminateThread and TerminateProcess are light wrappers around the 
corresponding system calls.

ExitThread and ExitProcess (actually implemented as RtlExitUserThread and 
RtlExitUserProcess in ntdll.dll) are within-process calls that integrate with 
the loader's LdrShutdownThread and LdrShutdownProcess routines. This allows the 
loader to call the entry points for loaded DLLs with DLL_THREAD_DETACH or 
DLL_PROCESS_DETACH, respectively. ExitThread also handles deallocating the 
thread's stack. Beyond that, the bulk of the work is handled by 
NtTerminateThread and NtTerminateProcess. For ExitProcess, NtTerminateProcess 
is actually called twice -- the first time it's called with a NULL process 
handle to kill the other threads in the current process. After 
LdrShutdownProcess returns, NtTerminateProcess is called again to truly 
terminate the process.

> PowerShell and .NET ... `System.Diagnostics.Process.Kill()` ... 
> `TerminateProcess` is called with -1

.NET is in its own (cross-platform) managed-code universe. I don't know why the 
developers decided to make Kill() use -1 (0x) as the exit code. I can 
guess that they negated the conventional EXIT_FAILURE value to indicate a 
signal-like kill. I think it's an odd decision, and I'm not inclined to favor 
it over behaviors that predate the existence of .NET. 

Making the ExitCode property a signed integer in .NET is easy to understand, 
and not a cause for concern since it's only a matter of interpretation. Note 
that the return value from wmain() or wWinMain() is a signed integer. Also, the 
two fundamental status result types in Windows -- NTSTATUS [1] and HRESULT [2] 
-- are 32-bit signed integers (warnings and errors are negative). Internally, 
the NT Process object's EPROCESS structure defines ExitStatus as an NTSTATUS 
value. You can see in a kernel debugger that it's a 32-bit signed integer 
(Int4B):

lkd> dt nt!_eprocess ExitStatus
   +0x624 ExitStatus : Int4B

Python also wants the exit code to be a signed value. If we try to exit with an 
unsigned value that exceeds 0x7FFF_, it instead uses a default code of -1 
(0x_). For example:

>>> hex(subprocess.call('python -c "raise SystemExit(0x8000_)"'))
'0x'

Using the corresponding signed integer works fine:

>>> 0x8000_ - 2**32
-2147483648
>>> hex(subprocess.call('python -c "raise SystemExit(-2_147_483_648)"'))
'0x8000'

> termination by a signal "terminates the calling program with 
> exit code 3"

MS C raise() defaults to calling exit(3). I don't know why it uses the value 3; 
it's a legacy value from the MS-DOS era. Python doesn't directly expose C 
raise(), so this exit code only occurs in rare circumstances.

Note that SIGINT and SIGBREAK are based on console control events, and in this 
case the default behavior (i.e. SIG_DFL) is not to call exit(3) but rather to 
continue to the next registered console control handler. This is normally the 
Windows default handler (i.e. kernelbase!DefaultHandler), which calls 
ExitProcess with STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT. When closing the console itself (i.e. 
CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT), if a control handler in a console client returns TRUE, the 
default handler doesn't get called, but (starting with NT 6.0) the process 
still has to be terminated. In this case the session server, csrss.exe, calls 
NtTerminateProcess with STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT.

The exit code also isn't normally 3 for SIGABRT when abort() (i.e. os.abort in 
Python) gets called. In a release build, abort() defaults to using the 
__fastfail intrinsic (i.e. INT 0x29 on x64 systems) with the code 
FAST_FAIL_FATAL_APP_EXIT. This terminates the process with a 
STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN exception. By design, a __fastfail exception cannot 
be handled. An attached debugger only sees it as a second-chance exception. 
(Ideally they should have split this functionality into multiple status codes, 
since a __fastfail isn't necessarily due to a stack buffer overrun.) The 
error-reporting dialog may change the exit status to 255 in this case, but you 
can 

[issue31860] IDLE: Make font sample editable

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Thanks for the patch.  Adding the feature is somehow easier than I expected.  
After moving the sample text to module level, which I considered doing before, 
saving edits for the duration of an IDLE session turned out to also be easy.  

With 11 point Lucida Console, there is room for 5 more lines, without erasing 
anything, before anything scrolls off the top.

I expect that saving changes across IDLE sessions would be much harder and 
likely not worth the effort.  I think that exploring font choices is likely 
rare enough that there is little need to do so.

I don't know what you're calculating here but it isn't Shannon
entropy. Shannon entropy is correctly calculated for a data source,
not an individual message, but if we assume the two numbers above to
be the result of a Bernoulli process with probabilities matching the
frequencies of the bits in the numbers, then the total entropy of 16
events is:

py> 16 * (-9/16 * math.log2(9/16) - 7/16 * math.log2(7/16))
15.81919053261596

Approximately 15.8 bits. This is the same no matter what order the
events occur in.

New submission from Nick :

If subprocess.run is called with a single string, say:

completed_ps = subprocess.run('mpirun -np 4 myexe.x moreargs', shell=True)

and 'myexe.x moreargs' fails with a returncode of 1, then 
'completed_ps.returncode' is None. However, if we split the args with shlex, we 
obtain the desired result, which is a returncode of 1:

import shlex
args = shlex.split('mpirun -np 4 myexe.x moreargs')
completed_ps = subprocess.run(args)
# now completed_ps.returncode = 1 if myexe.x moreargs fails.

Reproduced on Mac, Ubuntu 17.04, Python 3.6.1 and Python 3.6.3.

I know that there are a few good MIDI libraries out there.
The examples that I've seen for real-time triggering
of events rely on a sleep function to realize the timing.
This is not accurate or precise enough for musical applications.

What options do I have if I want to write a MIDI sequencer
in python?  I imagine I'd have to sync to an audio device
to get the timing right.

Thank for any help.

But that has to be about the process that gives rise to the data, not
the data themselves.  No finite collection of bits has the property you
describe.

If I say: "here is some random data..." you can't tell if it is or is
not from a random source.  I can, as a parlour trick, compress and
recover this "random data" because I chose it.

A source of random can be defined but "random data" is much more
illusive.

I think the argument that you can't compress arbitrary data is simpler
to make.  You don't have to define it (except in the very simplest
terms) and it's obvious that it includes the results of previous

Re: Compression of random binary data

That's only true if the "transform" loses or adds information. 

If it loses information, that's lossy compression, which is only useful 
in very specific (but also extremely common) circumstances. 

If it adds information, that's poetry, not compression. 



Not true! You can transform a stream lossless, and change its entropy without 
adding to or taking away. These two streams 16 bits are the same but one is 
reversed.

10101011
This equals
61611
This can be represented using
0-6 log2(7)*5= 14.0367746103 bits


11010101
This equals 
54543
This can be represented using
0-5 log2(6)*5= 12.9248125036 bits

In reality you can express 54543 with 10 bits.

Not really, no. People who write cross-platform code are well
aware of the differences of time.clock() and people who just
write for one platform know how the libc function of the same

[issue31430] [Windows][2.7] Python 2.7 compilation fails on mt.exe crashing with error code C0000005

[David Bolen]

David Bolen  added the comment:

Sure, I can certainly do that.

Does "basically a requirement" mean it should have been there all along (with 
the VC9 installation), or just that trying to use VC9 on a recent system like 
Win 10 safely requires it installed separately?  I guess Win 8 was the first 
version to default to only having 4+ already installed.

Oh, any preference between using the OS component setup (windows features) to 
install vs. downloading an installer?  I was thinking of using the features 
approach since it's easy to document as a requirement for anyone else.  I doubt 
there's much difference in the end result.

Recognition of installed packages is done by the python running IDLE and
executing your import statements, by not IDLE. The only effect IDLE
could have is any manipulation of sys.path.

You can find the executable running IDLE with


import sys; sys.executable

'C:\\Programs\\Python37\\pythonw.exe'

Find the sys.path being used with

sys.path


If you run the same binary (minus the 'w' if present), you can find the
sys.path used without IDLE. You can also test imports without IDLE in use.

It is possible that you have more than one binary around, but I cannot
tell from here. To make sure you are running pip with the same binary
as IDLE, enter path-to-binary -m pip  C:\Programs\Python37\python.exe -m pip list

[issue24920] shutil.get_terminal_size throws AttributeError

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

If one starts IDLE from a command-line console (python -m idlelib) or Python 
console (import idlelib.idle), sys.__stdout__ is the TextIOWraper for that 
console and .fileno() returns 1.  .get_terminal_size() will then return the 
console size.  The exception occurs when IDLE is  started from an icon.

Implementing David's suggestion for shutil will be easy: insert just before the 
fileno call
if not sys.__stdout__: raise ValueError()
This is what os.get_terminal_size() raises on IDLE.  Comments in the code in 
posixpath.c make it clear that this is intended guis and the low_level os 
function.

This came up today on Stackoverflow when someone tried to use 
matplotlib.pyplot, which calls os.get_terminal_size, on IDLE.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46921087/pyplot-with-idle
(Patching shutil will not help for the os call.)

[issue31880] subprocess process interaction with IDLEX GUI causes pygnuplot silent failures

[John Brearley]

New submission from John Brearley :

There is an interesting interaction between the IDLEX GUI and subprocess module 
that causes pygnuplot silent failures. The example.py script below works fine 
when run from the WinPython Command Prompt.exe terminal window. The script will 
popup a new window from gnuplot with the desired graph, and in the same 
directory save the generated raw data as example.out and the generated graph as 
example.pdf. If you erase the generated files and then run the same script via 
the IDLEX GUI, there is no graph window created and only the raw data 
example.out file is created. There are no error messages.

The PyGnuplot module sets up a subprocess.Popen pipe as persistant connection 
to the gnuplot.exe utility. This allows the top level script to send multiple 
commands to gnuplot to compose the desired graph, and then finally save the 
file to disk. This all works fine when run from the WinPython Command 
Prompt.exe terminal window. However something subtle is breaking when the same 
script is run from the IDLEX GUI environment. It is not at all obvious if the 
subprocess module is not as forgiving as it needs to be of the IDLEX GUI input 
or if the IDLEX GUI is breaking the rules somewhere. I will start by asking the 
subprocess module team to comment.

I did try adding some trace code to the PyGnuplot.py module. In particular I 
turned on stdout=subprocess.PIPE  and stderr=subprocess.PIPE. I did proc.poll() 
before/after the command is sent to gnuplot. Interestingly, when I did 
proc.communicate(timeout=0) to do an immediate read for any stdout/err data, 
this seems to cause the
 subsequent write to the pipe.stdin to fail, saying the file is already closed. 
In another learning exercise script for subprocess, the communicate() method 
does not seem to interfere with the pipe behavior.

This issue is quite repeatable on demand. I set up a second PC and reproduced 
the issue on demand on the second PC. I am using WinPython 3.6.1 on Windows 7 
with gnuplot 5.2.0 on both PC.

Here are the links to the various components needed to setup the environment to 
reproduce this issue:
1) gnuplot 5.2.0   https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/5.2.0/
2) pygnuplot 0.10.0  https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyGnuplot/0.10.0
3) There is a one-line fix to PyGnuplot.py needed   
https://github.com/benschneider/PyGnuplot/blob/master/PyGnuplot.py
4) example.py script  
https://github.com/benschneider/PyGnuplot/blob/master/example.py

WinPython 3.6.1 installer comes with subprocess.py as part of the package, no 
version info that I can find.

When installing gnuplot there is an advanced option to check on that will 
automatically update your PATH variable. If you dont do this, then you must 
manully add "C:\gnuplot\bin" (or whatever the directory is)
 to your PATH variable. To check if gnuplot is correctly installed, from a DOS 
prompt terminal window, type "gnuplot -V". You should get a one line response 
"gnuplot 5.2 patchlevel 0".

[issue31879] Launcher fails on custom command starting with "python"

[Robert]

New submission from Robert :

In the "py.ini" file it is possible to specifiy customized commands (see 
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0397/#customized-commands).

Unfortunately it is not possible to specify custom commands beginning with  one 
of the buildin names (i.e. "python" or "/usr/bin/python"). 

This means that if I want to provide a virtual command like "python-xyz" I get 
an error message "Invalid version specification: '-xyz'" instead of running the 
executable assigned to python-xyz.

I would provide a Pullrequest if you accept this change in behaviour.

generally keep issues open in the tracker.  We open issues for PEPs when they 
get to the implementation stage.

So, if you want to pursue this, the best forum is the python-ideas mailing 
list, followed eventually by the python-dev mailing list.  That is the best way 
to get visibility, not through a bug tracker with thousands of open issues.

In this case I think the cost of editing for consistency may be higher than the

[issue31878] Cygwin: _socket module does not compile due to missing ioctl declaration

[Erik Bray]

New submission from Erik Bray :

On Cygwin, ioctl() is found in sys/ioctl.h (as on Darwin).  Without adding 
something to the effect of

#ifdef __CYGWIN__
# include 
#endif

the _socket module cannot compile on Cygwin.  A fix was this was included in 
the (rejected) https://bugs.python.org/issue29718; this issue is just as a 
reminder that it remains an issue and to have a bug report to attach a more 
focused PR to.

What error?
Are you sure the file is UTF-8 encoded? (and not ISO-8859-15, or
Windows-1252, or something?)

[issue31873] Inconsistent capitalization of proper noun - Unicode.

[David Antonini]

David Antonini  added the comment:

Does the Unicode documentation currently conform to that convention, or does it 
require editing? 

It appears to me that a lot of cases where reference to "Unicode object" is 
currently capitalised (most of them, in fact) may need to be modified. 
However, it would seem that there is a grey area in making a distinction 
between reference to the unicode type as implemented in Python and reference to 
the standard as a descriptor of the format of an object? The way I read there a 
lot of the cases are in essence a reference to both.

[issue31877] Build fails on Cython since issue28180

[Erik Bray]

New submission from Erik Bray :

I'm trying once again to get the test suite up to snuff on Cygwin so I can 
start running a buildbot (particularly now that PEP 539 is done).  However, as 
of issue28180 the build fails with:

gcc-o python.exe Programs/python.o libpython3.7m.dll.a -lintl -ldl-lm
Programs/python.o: In function `main':
./Programs/python.c:81: undefined reference to `_Py_LegacyLocaleDetected'
./Programs/python.c:81:(.text.startup+0x86): relocation truncated to fit:

It seems _Py_LegacyLocaleDetected and _PyCoerceLegacyLocale are missing the 
necessary PyAPI_FUNC declarations in pylifecycle.h.

[issue31626] Writing in freed memory in _PyMem_DebugRawRealloc() after shrinking a memory block

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

The current code OBVIOUSLY is wrong. Bytes are erased if q == oldq && nbytes < 
original_nbytes. But q == oldq only if realloc() returns the new address 
2*sizeof(size_t) bytes larger than its argument. This is virtually never happen 
on other platforms because _PyMem_DebugRawRealloc() usually used with blocks 
larger than 2*sizeof(size_t) bytes and the system realloc() don't shrink the 
block at left (this is implementation detail). Thus this code is virtually dead 
on other platforms. It doesn't detect shrinking memory block in-place.

After fixing *this* bug, we have encountered with *other* bug, related to 
overwriting the freed memory.

I don't see reasons of keeping an obviously wrong code. When fix the first bug 
we will need to fix the other bug.

Re: Windows alternative: multiprocessing.connection.wait on Pipe, Tkinter File Handlers

[Stephan Houben]

Op 2017-10-23, Thomas Jollans schreef :

AFAIK, this is a real problem in Tkinter on Windows.
On Posix you can use the self-pipe trick.
But on Windows, Tkinter cannot wait on a pipe.

I see two solutions (well, three, really):

1. Use a different toolkit, e.g. PyQt has explicit support for notifying
   the GUI thread from another thread.

2. Use Cygwin-based Python. If this is an option, the Cygwin people did 
   already all the heavy lifting for providing Posix-like select()
   semantics.

3. Regular polling. This has been rejected by the OP, but in my
   experience can produce reasonable results when done "properly",
   i.e. use the Tkinter "after" method with a reasonable time interval
   (in the past I have used a strategy of starting with 10 ms and then,
   on no event, slowly back off to polling every 200ms).

   It is by far the simplest solution, and AFAIK the only one which will
   work with the standard Python distribution + Tkinter.

New submission from Gareth Moger :

I had my work computer re-imaged this week but Python 3.6.1 is gone and I am 
unable to install.

I have tried to completely remove it with CCleaner and any other references I 
found but it still will not install.  I am installing the same version as 
before.

Following the advice from another post, I installed on another machine and then 
copied the folder onto my work machine but was unable to uninstall/repair as 
described.

Attached is the log file.

[Jason R. Coombs]

At first, I didn't understand why one wouldn't simply omit sys.path[0], similar 
to what scripts do, but then I realized that Nick was aware of a common 
use-case that I was overlooking - that `python -m` may be used to launch 
behavior in a local package - in which case it's relevant and important that 
sys.path[0] == ''.

[issue31874] [feature] runpy.run_module should mimic script launch behavior for sys.path

[Jason R. Coombs]

New submission from Jason R. Coombs :

In [this comment](https://bugs.python.org/issue16737#msg282872) I describe an 
issue whereby launching an application via runpy.run_module (aka python -m) 
produces different and unexpected behavior than running the same app via an 
entry script.

In [this followup comment](https://bugs.python.org/issue16737#msg304662), I 
provide more detail on why a user might expect for run_module to mimic the 
behavior of launching a script.

[Nick suggests](https://bugs.python.org/issue16737#msg304707):

> Update sys.path[0] based on __main__.__spec__.origin after [resolving] 
> __main__.__spec__. That way it will only stay as the current directory if the 
> module being executed is in a subdirectory of the current directory, and will 
> otherwise be updated appropriately for wherever we actually found the main

[issue16737] Different behaviours in script run directly and via runpy.run_module

[Isaiah Peng]

Isaiah Peng  added the comment:

Not sure if it's stated before, this difference of behavior also has other 
effects, e.g.

$ python -m test.test_traceback

# Ran 61 tests in 0.449s
# FAILED (failures=5)

This is because the loader associated with the module get confused, it loaded 
the original module as the proper module and then the module changed name to 
__main__ but the loader is still associated with the old module name, so call 
to `get_source` fails.

$ cat > test_m.py
print(__loader__.get_source(__name__))

$ python -m test_m

# ImportError: loader for test_m cannot handle __main__

[issue31873] Inconsistent capitalization of proper noun - Unicode.

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka  added the comment:

I agree that the inconsistency should be fixed. But I'm not sure that we should 
use the words "an Unicode object" in Python 3.

In many similar cases ("a bytes object", "a type object", "a module object") 
the name of Python type is used. "unicode" was a name of Python type in Python 
2. In Python 3 it is "str". The term "Unicode string" also is widely used. 
Should not we use "a str object", "a string object", "a Unicode string" or "a 
Unicode string object" in the C API documentation?
