[issue5760] __getitem__ error message hard to understand
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: As I said on the python-ideas discussion, which definitely did *not* come to consensus, I disagree with this suggestion. To repeat and expand on what I said there: 1. 'unsubscriptable' could instead be changed to 'not subscriptable'. 2. 'subscription' *is* the way Python describes the use of []. A subscription selects an item of a sequence (string, tuple or list) or mapping (dictionary) object: subscription ::= primary [ expression_list ] 'array subscript' (from C, for example) is a standard term used for decades in computer languages. It is appropriate since a[i] is one standard single-text-line replacement for atypographic subscripti when one cannot actually 'type' a subscript. It *is* a way of representing a subscript, just as i**j is an in-line way of representing a superscript exponent, which we still call an exponent in spite of it not being 'raised'. Both constitute visible markup that is part of the compromise in representing 2D typography with a 1D stream of characters. Using '/' for division (and fractions) is another. 3. Python error message generally do not and I think should not mention the special method implementation that underlies surface level errors. In this particular case, the remedy to mistakenly trying to subscript something is to not do that. I think mentioning __getitem__ would be a distraction. One generally *cannot* just go around adding it. -- nosy: +tjreedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5760 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

However, that would not have worked since multiple word searching seems to be broken, at least sometimes. In particular, searching for 'argv' gives several hits, including the one you wanted, as does searching for 'sys', but 'sys argv' does not.

[issue5785] Condition.wait() does not respect its timeout
New submission from Stéphane stephane.bisin...@gmail.com: I have an issue with the wait() method of Condition which doesn't seem to respect the timeout it is given: I couldn't create a simple example to reproduce the bug, because if I try to do something small and simple everything works as expected, but in the actual code it doesn't work, so here's the link to the code: http://github.com/Kjir/amsn2/blob/ bda6829d0c7d50a1cbf1188cdfa3789c4b7967c5/amsn2/gui/front_ends/curses/ contact_list.py The most interesting function is the last one, where there is a wait with timeout of 1 second. If I have a look at the logs, after the initial download of the list there is nothing happening, while I'd expect to see a check cycle every second or so. If there is a notification arriving, the whole thing fires up and updates the contact list as expected, but the timeout itself doesn't work. I don't know if there could be a problem with other modules, for instance gobject, but if there is then you should update the documentation to point out such incompatibilities. If you could help me to create a simpler program to test this issue I would happy to provide you a test case, but I am out of ideas right now on how to narrow down the issue. If you want to download the code and test it, here are the instructions: git clone git://github.com/Kjir/amsn2.git cd amsn2 git checkout -b curses_cl origin/curs_cl python amsn2.py -f curses 2 run.log Log in with an msn account, tail -f run.log in another terminal to watch the logs If you want to se what happens on a notify, one of your contacts should change status. And here are a very brief explanation on how the code is called, if you need it: the whole code is divided in basically three areas, core, protocol and gui. I am working on the gui side and the methods contactListUpdated, groupUpdated and contactUpdated are called by the core through a gobject signal.

[issue5787] object.__getattribute__(super, '__bases__') crashes the interpreter.
Aleksi Torhamo alexerion+pythonb...@gmail.com added the comment: Just verified that r71722 fixes all the builtins, however i just noticed that some types under module types cause segfaults too. Under python2.7 those are: CodeType BuiltinMethodType DictProxyType GeneratorType GetSetDescriptorType EllipsisType FrameType InstanceType MemberDescriptorType Not sure, but i'm guessing there might be yet more types somewhere, that need fixing (as the only places i've looked at are __builtins__ and types - the first ones to cause problems/come to mind). Would there be some way to find out all defined types, or to fix this for all types in a single place? -- status: closed - open ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5787 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: Uh, perhaps the behaviour wasn't optimal but breaking compatibility between two bugfix releases isn't developer-friendly either. While we could keep it in trunk, it sounds like the change should be reverted in 2.6.

[issue1580] Use shorter float repr when possible
Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: Is there a way to use SSE when available and x86 when it's not. Probably, but I don't think there is any point doing so. The main benefit of SSE2 is to get higher performance on floating point intensive code, which no pure Python code could be regarded as (the CPU cycles elapsed between two FP instructions would dwarf the cost of executing the FP instructions themselves). The situation is different for specialized packages like numpy, but their decisions need not be the same as ours AFAIK. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1580 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue5788] datetime.timedelta is inconvenient to use...
Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment: The addition looks quite legitimate to me. The only thing is that it may be better as a method (total_seconds()) rather than an attribute, given the other APIs in the datetime module. Also, the patch lacks some unit tests. -- nosy: +pitrou versions: +Python 2.7 -Python 3.0 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5788 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1537721] csv module: add header row to DictWriter
Matthew Iversen teh@gmail.com added the comment: Skip, you were arguing in another csv issue on a NamedTupleReader that the Reader and Writer should work in concert together. Certainly, making this default functionality for DictWriter would definitely make it work more in concert with DictReader. A sample process of reading and writing might be: 1. DictReader reads in header names, reads in data 2. Pass in header names to DictWriter on init 3. DictWriter writes out modified data back to csv file (headers get written automatically or with a method call) 4. DictReader can now reader in the csv file automatically again with header names My feeling is, if DictReader can read in head names, why can't DictWriter write them back out again? Shouldn't there be a good amount of symmatry to their function/abilities? My feeling of how to implement this functionality would be to include a new init argument, say 'writeheader'. It's default would be True if you wanted to implement this new feature by default, or False if you wanted to keep it an option so that older scripts relying on the old functionality won't break immmediately. DictWriter would then write the header on the first call to writerow(s), or perhaps also with an explicit call to writeheader() say. I certainly am miffed by the fact that DictWriter cannot produce (normally) a csv file that DictReader can read in automatically. -- nosy: +ivo ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1537721 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
