R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: The last comment set this issue to 'remind' in case someone wanted to fix it in the future...it's pretty much fixed now. format_string was added in 2.5, and in 2.6 format only accepts a string containing just a format code. --

[issue7900] posix.getgroups() failure on Mac OS X

Alexander Belopolsky alexander.belopol...@gmail.com added the comment: I am reclassifying this as a crash because os.getgroups() crashes the interpreter when python is running as root on an unmodified system: $ sudo ./python.exe -c import os; os.getgroups() Traceback (most recent call last):

[issue7796] No way to find out if an object is an instance of a namedtuple

Raymond Hettinger rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: Discussed this with GvR. Here's a recap: For 2.6 and 3.1 which are already released, check for the _fields attribute. This is a guaranteed part of the API is not fragile. For the C structures, check for the n_fields

[issue2636] Regexp 2.7 (modifications to current re 2.2.2)

Matthew Barnett pyt...@mrabarnett.plus.com added the comment: I don't know what happened there. I didn't notice that the zip file was way too small. Here's a replacement (still called issue2636-20100222.zip). Unicode script properties are already included, at least those whose definitions

[issue7196] Clarify str.split() behavior

Jack Diederich jackd...@gmail.com added the comment: I suggest this be closed WONTFIX. The str.split() documentation accurately describes str.split() but doesn't happen to do what the OP wanted which was list(filter(None, '00010001'.split('0'))) Instead split(sep) is the reciprocal of

[issue7946] Convoy effect with I/O bound threads and New GIL

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: Here is another patch based on a slightly different approach. Instead of being explicitly triggered in I/O methods, priority requests are decided based on the computed interactiveness of a thread. Interactiveness itself is a simple saturated

[issue1517495] memory leak threading or socketserver module

A.M. Kuchling li...@amk.ca added the comment: I can no longer confirm this bug, either; trying the scripts with the current trunk doesn't seem to leak. Backing out Jeffrey's r61011 didn't bring the problem back, so I'll just conclude that the problem has gotten fixed along the way somehow.

[issue4617] SyntaxError when free variable name is also an exception target

Guido van Rossum gu...@python.org added the comment: All examples so far (*) have to do with our inability to have properly nested blocks. If we did, I'd make the except clause a block, and I'd issue a syntax warning or error if a nested block shadowed a variable referenced outside it. Ditto

[issue6886] cgi.py runs python, not python3

Jack Diederich jackd...@gmail.com added the comment: +0 I'm ambivalent. The script uses a reasonable default and pyhton3 is a reasonable default for the 3k branch. That said most people will have to edit the file anyway to use it: I had to chmod a+x the file and change the bang path to

[issue7996] concurrency problem in regrtest -jX

New submission from Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr: While testing GIL changes I ran against an interesting bug in regrtest when run with -jbig number. It turns out that we can't consume a generator from two threads simultaneously. Exception in thread Thread-8: Traceback (most recent call

[issue7997] http://www.python.org/dev/faq/ doesn't seem to explain how to regenerate configure

New submission from Dave Malcolm dmalc...@redhat.com: http://www.python.org/dev/faq/ doesn't seem to explain how to regenerate configure Here's an attempt at answering that question; I hope the following is appropriate and factually correct: How to regenerate the configure script (e.g. to add

[issue6931] dreadful performance in difflib: ndiff and HtmlDiff

Jack Diederich jackd...@gmail.com added the comment: Here is a profile run of the 200 line case, run on the 3.x trunk, and with all the trivial functions removed. quick_ratio and __contains__ dominate the time. The process was CPU bound, memory usage stayed low. 17083154 function calls
