[issue33663] Web.py wsgiserver3.py raises TypeError when CSS file is not found

2018-06-02 Thread Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic


Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic  added the comment:

The exception is raised in the start_response function provided by web.py's 
WSGIGateway class in wsgiserver3.py:1997.

# According to PEP , when using Python 3, the response status
# and headers must be bytes masquerading as unicode; that is, they
# must be of type "str" but are restricted to code points in the
# "latin-1" set.

Therefore, header values must be strings whenever start_response is called. 
WSGI servers must accumulate headers in some data structure and must call the 
supplied "start_response" function, when they have gathered all the headers and 
converted all the values to strings.

The fault I observed is not strictly speaking caused by a bug in Python lib 
"server.py". Rather, it is a component interaction failure caused by 
inadequately defined semantics. The interaction between web.py and server.py is 
quite complex, and no component is faulty when considered alone.

I explain:

Response and headers management in server.py is handled by 3 methods of class 
BaseHTTPRequestHandler:
- send_response : puts response in buffer
- send_header : converts to string and adds to buffer
("%s: %s\r\n" % (keyword, value)).encode('latin-1', 'strict'))
- end_headers : flushes buffer to socket

This implementation is correct even if send_header is called with an
int value.

Now, web.py's application.py defines a "wsgi(env, start_resp)" function, which 
gets plugged into the CherryPy WSGI HTTP server.

The server is an instance of class wsgiserver.CherryPyWSGIServer created in 
httpserver.py:169 (digging deeper, actually at line 195).
This server is implemented as a HTTPServer configured to use gateways of type 
class WSGIGateway_10 to handle requests.

A gateway is basically an instance of class initialized with a HTTPRequest 
instance, that has a "respond" method. Of course the WSGIGateway implements 
"respond" as described in the WSGI standard: it calls the WSGI-compliant web 
app, which is a function(environ, start_response(status, headers)) returning an 
iterator (for chunked HTTP responses). The start_response function provided by 
class WSGIGateway is where the failure occurs.

When the application calls web.py's app.run(), the function runwsgi in web.py's 
wsgi.py get called. This function determines if it gets request via CGI or 
directly. In my case it starts a HTTP server using web.py's runsimple function 
(file httpserver.py:158).

This function never returns, and runs the CherryPyWSGIServer, but it first 
wraps the wsgi function in two WGSI Middleware callables. Both are defined in 
web.py's httpserver.py file. The interesting one is StaticMiddleWare (line 
281). Its role, is to hijack URLs starting with /static, as is the case with my 
missing CSS file. In order to serve those static resources quickly, its 
implementation uses StaticApp (a WSGI function serving static stuff, defined 
line 225), which extends Python's SimpleHTTPRequestHandler. That's where to two 
libraries connect.

StaticApp changes the way headers are processed using overloaded methods for 
send_response, send_header and end_headers. This means that, when StaticApp 
calls SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.send_head() to send the HEAD part of the 
response, the headers are managed using the overloaded methods. When 
send_head() finds out that my CSS file does not exist and calls send_error() a 
Content-Length header gets written, but it is not converted to string, because 
the overloaded implementation just stores the header name and value in a list 
as they come.

When it has finished gathering headers using Python's send_head(), it 
immediately calls start_response provided by WSGIGateway, where the failure 
occurs.

The bug in Python is not strictly that send_header gets called with an int in 
send_error. Rather, it is a documentation bug which fails to mention that 
send_header/end_headers MUST CONVERT TO STRING and ENCODE IN LATIN-1.

Therefore the correction I proposed is still invalid, because the combination 
of web.py and server.py after the correction, still does not properly encode 
the headers.

As a conclusion I would say that:
- In Python lib, the bug is a documentation bug, where documentation fails to 
indicate that send_headers and/or end_headers can receive header names or 
values which are not strings and not encoded in strict latin-1, and that it is 
their responsibility to do so.
- In Web.py because the implementation of the overloaded methods fails to 
properly encode the headers.

Of course, changing int to str does no harm and makes everything more 
resilient, but does not fix the underlying bug.

[issue33663] Web.py wsgiserver3.py raises TypeError when CSS file is not found

2018-05-27 Thread Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic

New submission from Jean-Marc Le Peuvedic <lepeuve...@gmail.com>:

When running the built-in web server of web.py, the following error messages 
appear when the HTTP client fetches a non existing CSS file:

TypeError('WSGI response header value 469 is not of type str.',)
Traceback (most recent call last):

 line 2029, in start_response
"WSGI response header value %r is not of type str." % v)
TypeError: WSGI response header value 469 is not of type str.

The faulty header is added by Python library, http/server.py. 
Error added in version 3.4 according to comments.

Lines 467-471 in the attached file:
body = content.encode('UTF-8', 'replace')
self.send_header("Content-Type", self.error_content_type)
self.send_header('Content-Length', int(len(body)))
self.end_headers()

The value for 'Content-Length' is passed as an 'int', but only a 'str' is 
acceptable.

In the latest revision of 'server.py', the same code appears line 453.
A possible correction is :

body = content.encode('UTF-8', 'replace')
self.send_header("Content-Type", self.error_content_type)
self.send_header('Content-Length', str(int(len(body
self.end_headers()

So I finally cooked a little patch for netrc.py in python 2.6.
The patch extends netrc.authenticators() with an extra parameter to select a

last entry for a given host).

Lightly tested, works for me.

 you are right, IIS versions are different.
 Wich kind of adresses do you mean, http-adresses or paths in file
 systems to root of IIS or to pythonscripts below IIS' root?

 Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to solve the problem.


 regards

I think it was due to the way of getting a reference to the IIS's root
- I think that all adresses in html (wheter from static documents or
those generated by python) need to use relative adresses (double dot
slash, or dot slash type of adresses).

If it still doesn't work maybe posting some culprit code could help
figure it out...!

God damn error 666 (Tkinter in PythonWin)

2005-05-18 Thread jean-marc
Hello,

No I'm not angry - but my machine seems to be :-|

A pop-up dialog appears while trying to close the main PythonWin window
that has that error 'God damn error 666' - I can close this and then
the machine is ok BUT bye bye PythonWin...

This occurs after a progression of windows (small 'w' for the frame on
screen, not the OS) related problems occur within the PythonWin
environment, and these problems follow after trying to debug Tkinter
apps from within PythonWin, which I had read was problematic, causing
all sorts of problem BUT never thinking it was the kind that couldn't
get fixed by a shut-down and reboot type of memory cleansing... Even
uninstalling all of Python and related stuff and re-installing them
does not make this better.

The progression of the sickness as best as I can remember is like this:
First, the debugger stalls and fails to permit correct exit,
Secong PythonWin seems fine (editor that is) but can't open any other
windows (browsers , pdf files etc) at the same time,
Third, Python's windows don't appear to fill out (documentation, for
example)
Fourth, I can't even open Pythonwin itself correctly, window open
without menus, or such stuff...

I think the nasty dialog referred to above appears between the third
and fourth events...

Sorry, this was not made to be a scientific test, so I can't be morfe
precise, it just happened to me twice recently because I'm on a 10-15 K
lines of program that uses Tkinter for the first time.

Mark Hammond doesn't seem to know where this comes from; thinks it
might be Tk related thing so I'm posting here in case it means anything
to anyone,

(My environment: ToshibaA70, Python 2.3.5, pyWin 203 (from
ActiveState), under Windows XP Pro SP2)

Hoping this is not CHTULHU telling to do something else with my life
;-)

Re: Importing and namespace visibility

2005-05-16 Thread jean-marc
Merci Bruno, ( and also to Fredrik )

So I think I understand correctly, if I say that:
each modulkes requires its own set of reference to whatever objects it
needs to speak. The interpreter wil see not to create extra copies of
the compiled code if many modules import the same modules but will make
them all point to the one already existing (in this program's
execution).

Practically, it means every module import whatever it needs - be
careful with recursive imports - keep things tidy by using the 'import
suchModule' (and use dotted name chains to reach whatever is needed).

Again thank you,

PS Nice weather in Bordeaux ? I've been there once... (when I was young

Importing and namespace visibility

2005-05-15 Thread jean-marc
As an application programmer, I'm not well versed in the material
aspects of computing (memory, cpu, bus and all). My understanding of
imports in Python is such: the __main__ program is the center piece
which holds the programs reference: globals, functions, classes,
modules etc. The objects of this file (functions and classes) are
directly accessible; 'import suchModule' s objects are attainable
through the *qualified name* (module.function); the 'from suchModule
import *' the objects are directly attainable.

A recent msg from F. Lundh
http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.lang.python/browse_frm/thread/f9bf9734fa19eee9/8a51ab24748251d8?q=rnum=12hl=en#8a51ab24748251d8
suggested being careful with recursive importing...

BUT, of all this I thought that if you import module1, then module2
(into __main__), objects from module1 would be available to objects of
module2 which came (into memory space) after module1 was loaded. This
does not seem to be the case, and module2 requires an 'import module1'
statement in its own file to see this last module's objects.  This is
not the recursive situation that was a pitfall Fredrik was evoking.
What am I missing here???

The reason I'm asking is to setup team development, using Tkinter,
where different people will be programming diverse sections to be
'packed' into the main interface...

Thanks for any help in understanding what is happening in this
situation,

JMD

PythonWin + Tkinter = broken relation with WindowsXP !?!?!

2005-05-15 Thread jean-marc
I read that Tkinter and Python IDEs (PythonWin and Idle at least) makes
for a bad mix in execution mode because they're fighting for the event
loop, but this mode is usefull to use the debugger.

But to the point of breaking something elsewhere than in memory ???
(Shutting down and rebooting the computer doesn't resolve the
problems... PythonWin becomes impossible to use if another window is
open (pdf files, winAmp music, browser et al...)

is this documented somewhere??? It's been happening quite a few times
to me (real bummer!).

NOTE: This situation seems to appear slowly...  Not like a works or
doesn't work situation but rather that corruption is progressive. This
is a complete mystery to me

Thanks in advance,

JMD
Python 2.3.5, WinXP Pro SP2
I've started using Python Scripter, which seems less problematic (at
this point)
