mpb <mpb.m...@gmail.com> added the comment: @rhettinger I disagree (but you're the boss). If a function can take type X as a parameter, I believe docs should also say what the expected behavior is when you call the function and pass it type X, especially when type X is fundame

mpb <mpb.m...@gmail.com> added the comment: Can __slots__ be assigned a string? If so, what are the consequences? I find the current docs lack clarity. For example from the docs for 3.7.0a3: https://docs.python.org/3.7/reference/datamodel.html#slots > 3.3.2.4. __slots__ &

[issue19530] cross thread shutdown of UDP socket exhibits unexpected behavior

2013-11-15 Thread mpb
mpb added the comment: It's just a patch to avoid returning garbage in the address. Right, which is why I pursued the point. recvfrom should not return ambiguous data (the ambiguity being between shutdown and receiving a zero length message). It is now possible to distinguish the two

[issue19577] memoryview bind (the opposite of release)

2013-11-13 Thread mpb
New submission from mpb: I'm writing Python code to parse binary (byte oriented) data. I am (at least somewhat) aware of the performance implications of various approaches to doing the parsing. With performance in mind, I would like to avoid unnecessary creation/destruction/copying of memory

[issue19577] memoryview bind (the opposite of release)

2013-11-13 Thread mpb
mpb added the comment: It would be nice in terms of avoiding malloc()s and free()s. I could estimate it in terms of memoryview creations per message parse. I'll be creating 10-20 memoryviews to parse each ~100 byte message. So... I guess I'd have to build a test to see how long a memoryview

2013-11-11 Thread mpb
mpb added the comment: Connecting a UDP socket doesn't established a duplex connection like in TCP: Stream and duplex are orthogonal concepts. I still contend that connected UDP sockets are a duplex communication channel (under every definition of duplex I have read). The Linux connect

[issue19530] cross thread shutdown of UDP socket exhibits unexpected behavior

2013-11-08 Thread mpb
New submission from mpb: I have a multi-threaded application. A background thread is blocked, having called recvfrom on a UDP socket. The main thread wants to cause the background thread to unblock. With TCP sockets, I can achieve this by calling: sock.shutdown (socket.SHUT_RD) When I try

New submission from mpb: types.NoneType seems to have disappeared in Python 3. This is probably intentional, but I cannot figure out how to test if a variable is of type NoneType in Python 3. Specifically, I want to write: assert type (v) in ( bytes, types.NoneType ) Yes, I could write
