[issue34561] Replace list sorting merge_collapse()?

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters  added the comment:

A new version of the file models a version of the `powersort` merge ordering 
too.  It clearly dominates timsort and 2-merge in all cases tried, for this 
notion of "cost".

Against it, its code is much more complex, and the algorithm is very far from 
obvious.  The paper "motivates" it but doesn't really explain it in enough 
detail to make most of it clear (but refers to other papers where pieces of it 
are developed).

Curious:  unless a run is the last in an array, powersort never merges it 
immediately upon finding it.  Instead its start and length are used to compute 
a "power", in turn used to decide whether to merge some previous number of 
runs.  A dollar to anyone who can figure out what the heck the "power" 
computation is really doing in less than a full day without reading the paper 
;-)  Then two dollars if you can prove that the "never equal!" assert holds.

It would require timing lots of C code on various cases to see whether the 
possible delay in merging new runs really matters.  It's unclear to me a 
priori, because it buys something too (less memory copying overall).

In any case, just switching to 2-merge would be easy, and that alone is enough 
to squash the contrived "bad cases" for the current approach.  `powersort` 
would too, but may also actually help a bit in ordinary cases.  Or not.

I don't post by sending email, I post by using a news client (slrn),
which interacts with the Usenet system
(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_client), a largely decentralized
news-sharing system that dates from the 1970's (I think) and works
through the use of a somewhat casual network of servers that circulate
messages among themselves.  In contrast (if I read your headers right),
you read and post by using Google Groups, a newfangled invention that
we fossils from the days of gods and giants consider lame and hostile
to efficient organization, and we suspect that prolonged use
results in an inability to hoist one's trousers above one's buttocks
and a tendency to use interrogatory intonation on declarative sentences.

[issue34568] Types in `typing` not anymore instances of `type` or subclasses of "real" types

[Ivan Levkivskyi]

Ivan Levkivskyi  added the comment:

It was a deliberate decision. You can find some motivation in PEP 560, and yes 
we used provisional status here. It was a hard decision, but we decided that 
giving up few percent of backwards compatibility is a reasonable price for up 
to 5x performance boost.

It looks like some of your problems may be solved by 
https://github.com/ilevkivskyi/typing_inspect (use `pip install 
typing_inspect`) that aims at providing cross-version runtime introspection of 
typing objects by carefully wrapping some "hidden" internal API.

There is a plan to include most used part of typing_inspect in typing itself, 
see for example https://github.com/python/typing/issues/570.
(it is hard to give an estimate about when, I really want to do this soon, but 
just don't have time).

Re: Cross platform mutex to prevent script running more than instance?

[Cameron Simpson]

On 04Sep2018 07:57, CFK  wrote:

What about using flock()? I don't know if it works on Windows, but it works
really well for Unix/Linux systems.  I typically create a log file in a
known location using any atomic method that doesn't replace/overwrite a
file, and flock() it for the duration of the script.


Please adopt the inline reply format. Thanks.

The good things about flock() and open(O_EXCL) and other variations is that if 
your program aborts (or its OS aborts) the lock goes away. The downside is that 
it is less cross platform (including network filesystems). Even ignoring 
nonUNIX systems I have counter examples: I've got a (pretty dumb) embedded 
Linux box here whose NFS doesn't support locking. SO flock() goes out the 
window if the lock uses it.


Now, many use cases are single machine or may never meaningfully use a network 
filesystem. But if I'm writing _library_ code then I, as the author, don't know 
who will be calling my code in the future. So my inclination is to go for mkdir 
because it is so portable and robust.


The downside with mkdir, and also with pd files really, is that a program or OS 
abort can leave them lying around. Being persistent objects, some kind of 
cleanup is needed. For me, that is usually a price I'll accept in order to have 
a robust works-anywhere tool.


Aside: pid files? How do you know they're really stale? PIDs can be reused. On 
Linux and many UNIXes, PIDs get reused really fast (sequentially allocated); 
even OpenBSD with its cool unpredictable PIDs has this issue to a lesser 
degree.


What you can get away with depends on your use cases. If you like automatic 
cleanup, flock and its file descriptor based variants are simple and at least 
always go away on program exit, whatever the reason. If you can wear some 
cleanup, mkdir is portable and releiable. (And you can store state information 
inside the dir!)


Given the subject line ("Cross platform mutex to prevent script running more 
than instance") I'd go for mkdir myself.

Cameron Simpson

I like os.mkdir of a known directory name. This tends to be atomic and
forbidden when the name already exists, on all UNIX platforms, over remote
filesystems. And, I expect, likewise on Windows.

All the other modes like opening files O_EXCL etc tend to be platform
specific
and not reliable over network filesystems.

And pid based approaches don't work cross machine, if that is an issue.

[issue34583] os.stat() wrongfully returns False for symlink on Windows 10 v1803

[Isaac Shabtay]

New submission from Isaac Shabtay :

Windows 10 Pro, v1803.
Created a directory: D:\Test
Created a symbolic link to it: C:\Test -> D:\Test

The current user has permissions to access the link, however os.stat() fails:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Yahoo and Google both used to offer APIs for financial data, and
matplotlib (later moved into a separate module, mpl_finance) used to
have a Python wrapper around Yahoo's API; but Yahoo shut their
financial API down in mid-2017 and Google followed suit soon after. See:
http://www.financial-hacker.com/bye-yahoo-and-thank-you-for-the-fish/

The comments include links to a lot of possible alternatives.
Most of them require API keys and some charge a fee.
You should probably try several to find out which works best
for you, and expect to update your code every year or two as
financial quote services seem to come and go.

I don't know SML specifically, but my guess would be that
  let X = Y in A end
means "A, evaluated in a local scope where X refers to Y". Reasoning:
often (e.g. in JavaScript), 'let' sets something in a local scope, and I
think Haskell has a construct like this? It's been a while since I
played around with Haskell though... In an as-direct-as-possible Python
translation, (lambda X=Y: A)()

So,

isqrt = (lambda n: 0 if n == 0 else
(lambda r=isqrt(n//4):
2*r if n < (2*r+1)**2 else 2*r+1)())

This is obviously the same as your multi-expression function, with the
addition of the integer division as suggested by Marko.

Cheers,
Thomas

[issue34561] Replace list sorting merge_collapse()?

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters  added the comment:

"Galloping" is the heart & soul of Python's sorting algorithm.  It's explained 
in detail here:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Objects/listsort.txt

The Java fork of the sorting code has had repeated bugs due to reducing the 
size of "the stack" used to hold merge states.  Read the papers already 
referenced for details about that.

There is no "bug" here in the Python version.  It's that the complex code Java 
keeps tripping over ;-) , _could_ (possibly) be replaced by simpler code where 
the max stack size needed is obvious; that (e.g.) 2-merge moves around less 
memory overall in some cases where the current scheme is particularly wasteful 
in this respect; and that Munro & Wild present more ambitious merge-ordering 
schemes that are said to be provably near-optimal in a broader sense than 
2-merge achieves.

Yes it's definitely possible!  Hop on Google and do some searches;
you're bound to find some articles on the subject, possibly some demo

Google search terms you'll want to try include things like "python stock

Works on VSTS build. I suspect AppVeyor is caching files between builds, but

Re: Cross platform mutex to prevent script running more than instance?

I like os.mkdir of a known directory name. This tends to be atomic and 
forbidden when the name already exists, on all UNIX platforms, over 
remote filesystems. And, I expect, likewise on Windows.


The trouble with a simple lock file (or directory) is of course that it 
can't recover from the program being killed or from program or system 
crashes without manual intervention. For some use cases that's fine, for 
others it's a problem.




All the other modes like opening files O_EXCL etc tend to be platform 
specific and not reliable over network filesystems.


And pid based approaches don't work cross machine, if that is an issue.


I think a PID file is the traditional approach for *nix daemons, but as 
you say, it does have its own drawbacks.

problem with json.dumps / complexjson.loads in python 3.4 virtualenv

[M. Fioretti]

Greetings,

I have an error in a python application that I installed. I already 
opened an issue about it on the application page at github, but I would 
also greatly appreciate any help to (at least) better debug the problem, 
because I urgently need to use that program.


Details:

I need to run the python client for the shaarli bookmarks manager, whose 
home page is https://github.com/shaarli/python-shaarli-client, on a 
Centos release 7.5 x86_64 server. Since that client requires python >= 
3.4, and I do not want to move the whole server to that version, I 
created a virtualenv following the instructions at 
https://github.com/shaarli/python-shaarli-client/blob/master/docs/user/installation.rst


When I try to run it, I get the error messages that I already reported 
in full at


https://github.com/shaarli/python-shaarli-client/issues/33

as far as I can understand after some searching, it **may** be the 
problem described at 
https://mcgrattan.org/2017/01/24/ordered-json-in-python-with-requests/


but I honestly don't know enough python, to go further without some 
help/pointers.


TIA,
Marco

[issue34577] imaplib Cyrillic password

[Nikita Velykanov]

Thank you for fast reply.
Here's full traceback for first case:

Full traceback for second case:

But okay, even if encoding depends on target system and it's usually utf-8 so 
why string operations in imaplib are not in usual format but in some other?

[issue34580] sqlite doc: clarify the scope of the context manager

[Daniel Jakots]

New submission from Daniel Jakots :

In my experience, the first encounter for beginners with the context manager is 
with files. The highlighted feature is that you don't need to close the file, 
'with' is going to do it for you.

The sqlite3 documentation talks about the context manager in "12.6.8.3. Using 
the connection as a context manager". The problem in my opinion is that people 
may believe that the context manager may manage the open/close which is not the 
case, reading the Modules/_sqlite/connection.c:pysqlite_connection_exit shows 
that it only does the commit or the rollback.

I'm not sure about the best fix. It can be either (or both) a sentence in the 
description and/or adding at then end of the code snippet "con.close()" to show 
that it still needs to be done.

Thanks!

You can install Python 3.7 in a conda environment right now. Most

Python 3.7 at least on Windows and Linux already.



That's not the same as a specific Python 3.7 distribution. Why are they

When these are 'expected' to be '' (rather than '(null)', all tests pass.

Writing your own crypto software isn't a problem, and it can be very

Just don't _use_ your own crypto software.

[issue34577] imaplib Cyrillic password

[Nikita Velykanov]

New submission from Nikita Velykanov :

Let's consider there is an email box with password which contains Cyrillic 
symbols. When loging in

  imaplib.IMAP4_SSL(host, port).login(login, password)

password field is passed as "кириллица" (type is str, not unicode).
Then, I get this traceback:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 518, in login
typ, dat = self._simple_command('LOGIN', user, self._quote(password))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1083, in _simple_command
return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 870, in _command
self.send('%s%s' % (data, CRLF))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1191, in send
sent = self.sslobj.write(data)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/ssl.py", line 669, in write
return self._sslobj.write(data)

This is because self._sslobj.write method requires unicode string.

In other case, if password field is passed as u"кириллица" (type unicode, not 
str), I get another traceback:

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 518, in login
typ, dat = self._simple_command('LOGIN', user, self._quote(password))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 1083, in _simple_command
return self._command_complete(name, self._command(name, *args))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/imaplib.py", line 852, in _command
data = '%s %s' % (data, self._checkquote(arg))

It's because '%s' % u"some unicode string" doesn't work.

I guess the problem was described in details.
The problem is that two different libraries are using different string types 
but they must be agreed.

You must make sure "r" doesn't leak outside its syntactic context so:

def isqrt(n):
if n == 0:
return 0
else:
def f2398478957():
r = isqrt(n//4)
if n < (2*r+1)**2:
return 2*r
else:
return 2*r+1
return f2398478957()

(Also use // instead of /: isqrt = integer square root.)

The text "list of assert methods" links to

I've not used SML much, but what you have looks right. let ... in is
basically a local binding "let x = 12 in x+2" is saying "the value of
x+2 with x set to 12".

As I'm sure you realise (but I'll add it here for the sake of any
newcomers who read this), the recursive approach is not natural (or
efficient) in Python, whereas it's the natural approach in functional
languages like SML. In Python an iterative solution would be better.

Re: Cross platform mutex to prevent script running more than instance?

What about using flock()? I don't know if it works on Windows, but it works
really well for Unix/Linux systems.  I typically create a log file in a
known location using any atomic method that doesn't replace/overwrite a
file, and flock() it for the duration of the script.

[issue34576] SimpleHTTPServer: warn users on security

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor :

Larry Hastings proposed on the PSRT mailing list to add the following note of 
the SimpleHTTPServer documentation:

Note: SimpleHTTPServer is, as its name implies, a simple HTTP
server.  We provide it as a sample implementation of the Python HTTP
server API.  However, SimpleHTTPServer is neither secure nor
high-performance, and as such you should not use SimpleHTTPServer in
security-sensitive or performance-sensitive applications.

For example, if you create a symbolic link outside the directory served by 
SimpleHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer follows symbolic links.

Linux vendors run the full test suite. If the test suite fails, the build of 
the package fails as well. It's annoying.

Let's do that. Pablo: do you want to write a PR to always skip 
TestSemaphoreTracker with a reference to this issue? Example: skipIf(True, 
"bpo-33613: the test has a race condition").

You can install and enable faulthandler to get the Python traceback where the

[issue34570] Segmentation fault in _PyType_Lookup

[Pablosky]

Pablosky  added the comment:

My system is Hp Z4 with 128GB ram. It is not rather problem of lack of memory. 
When I monitored free memory it took at most 30GB when these 20 pybots were 
working.

I wonder if it is possible that these separate programs (pybots) interfere each 
other. I mean that sharing the same modules/libraries cause that situations. 
Maybe one instance is recompiling py module to pyc at the same time when this 
is used by another process. Is it possible?

I have never caught segfault when there was only one instance of pybot.

BTW I caught 3 more different cores. I consider reinstalling my whole system 
(maybe Ubuntu 18.04). Maybe my system is broken.

[issue34461] Availability of parsers in etree initializer

[nilanjan roy]

nilanjan roy  added the comment:

@serhiy.storchaka: 

If I concur with your comment then probably declaration of *__all__** over xml 
initializer(__init__) is little contradictory - because whenever we declare 
__all__ to enable global-scope means API provides the flexibility to use * 
during package import. Now this is totally depends on developer how the script 
need to optimize/simulate during development. Yes agree * should not be used 
due to high reference of memory usage. But as far __init__.py of xml and python 
convention this should not be explicitly restricted
