[issue9039] IDLE and module Doc

[Yoda_Uchiha]

New submission from Yoda_Uchiha :

I recently installed python 3.1 on a Windows XP computer. I cannot open IDLE 
nor module Docs. When I click on them, nothing happens. I am wondering if there 
is anyway on opening either of those too files. I do know how to IDLE through 
the workaround listed below but i have to put that in everytime to open IDLE. I 
am wondering if there was a permanent fix so i can just open if from my 
desktop.

[issue9028] test_support.run_unittest cmdline options and arguments

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord  added the comment:

Right. That code should change. My intention is to go through the whole of the 
Python test suite and make them compatible with the new unittest features.

I also intend to add extensions to unittest to allow listing of collecting 
tests and filtering tests by name (at the moment test filtering is by filename 
only which is useful but not enough)... The first task is to add extension / 
plugin machinery to unittest and then these use cases become easy - so I will 
not implement them on their own in unittest until the plugin system is done.

At the same time I don't think there is any point (although I wouldn't argue 
with) in adding code to do this directly to test_support when it is going to be 
added to unittest anyway.

Unfortunately, test_httpservers.py from stdlib contains this code:

def test_main(verbose=None):
try:
cwd = os.getcwd()
test_support.run_unittest(BaseHTTPServerTestCase,
SimpleHTTPServerTestCase,
CGIHTTPServerTestCase
)
finally:
os.chdir(cwd)

if __name__ == '__main__':
test_main()

If you use Python 2.7 then the following at the end of the test module enables 
the same command line features that David Murray pointed you to:

if __name__ == '__main__':
unittest.main()

If you are using earlier versions of Python you can use unittest2 (which also 
works with Python 2.7).

anatoly techtonik  added the comment:

RDM, running your way will execute test from standard library location of 
installed Python.

> python -m unittest test.test_httpservers.BaseHTTPServerTestCase.test_handler

But I want to execute test from my own patched copy of test_httpservers.py with 
whatever python I want. I.e.

> C:\Python27\python.exe Z:\python-cgi-tests\test_httpservers.py ...

I prefer to explicitly specify it in command line to be sure that I execute the 
right test suite. I also don't feel like typing `-m unittest 
test.test_httpservers.` each time when there is shell completion, and every 
decent file manager has keyboard shortcuts for inserting active filename into 
command line prompt.

You know - I am not a core contributor to maintain a bunch of batch files for 
all kind of operations, so I am interested to make testing process more 
intuitive.

I know how "TestCase" and "test_" auto discovery works. The point is to remove 
the need in extra typing, because test runner can add these suffix/prefixes 
automatically when parsing command line.

@exarkun: Ok. `.` is fine - `::` was a copy paste from my old PHP test runner.

[issue9037] Add explanation as to how to raise a custom exception in the extending python intermezzo on exceptions

[Jonathan G. Underwood]

New submission from Jonathan G. Underwood :

In the documentation section on Extending Python with C or C++ there is an 
Intermezzo on Errors and Exceptions which shows how to create a custom 
exception in an extension module. I was just following these instructions for 
the first time and got to the end and was left wondering how to actually raise 
the custom exception in my new module, and it wasn't immediately obvious, so I 
propose to add a brief explanation to the end of that section explaining how. 
Patch attached.

[issue8996] Add a default role to allow writing bare `len` instead of :func:`len`

[anatoly techtonik]

anatoly techtonik  added the comment:

`someref` would be more convenient than :func:`someref` but in case of 
namespace conflict (for example, as a result of documentation merge it both 
:func:`someref` and :class:`someref` can appear) - it would be necessary to go 
through all the links in both sources and update ambiguous references to point 
to the right type.

But perhaps the biggest problem would be to explain users what happens. Also in 
the case when you create new :class:`someref` and Sphinx detects conflict.

[issue9011] ast_for_factor unary minus optimization changes AST

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

Summary of brief discussion on #python-dev:

- This is a hacky patch; it would be better to rewrite that portion of ast.c in 
a way that doesn't modify the original CST at all. With 2.7 so close, I daren't 
try anything more invasive than this patch, though. (I don't know whether there 
are any other portions of this file that deliberately change the CST.)

- Given that no-one noticed this problem in 5 years, the fix can probably wait 
until 2.7.1, when it can be done properly.

[issue9036] Simplify Py_CHARMASK

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah :

This feature request is extracted from issue 9020, where Py_CHARMASK(c)
was used on EOF, producing different results depending on whether 
__CHAR_UNSIGNED__ is defined or not.

The preferred fix for issue 9020 is to check for EOF before using
Py_CHARMASK, so this is only loosely related.


I've looked through the source tree to determine how Py_CHARMASK
is meant to be used. It seems that it is only used in situations
where one would actually want to cast a char to an unsigned char,
like isspace((unsigned char)c).


Simplifications:

1) Python.h already enforces that an unsigned char is 8 bit wide. Thus,
   ((unsigned char)((c) & 0xff)) and ((unsigned char)(c)) should produce
   the same results.

2) There is no reason not to do the cast when __CHAR_UNSIGNED__ is
   defined (it will be a no-op).

[issue9035] os.path.ismount on windows doesn't support windows mount points

[Tim Golden]

Tim Golden  added the comment:

All we need to do is check the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT
in the file attributes. Frustratingly, we grab file attributes
a dozen times in posixpath.c only to throw most of it away.

Is there a case for adding an "attributes" function to os.path
which exposes the full file attributes on Windows, and its
posix equivalent if there is one? This could then be used
in the ismount function currently implemented in ntpath.py.

[issue3871] cross and native build of python for mingw32 with distutils

[Roumen Petrov]

Roumen Petrov  added the comment:

Patches to this issue require first patch from issue 3754. The last patch here 
now is from 2010-05-16. This patch cannot be applied to trunk as it will fail 
after update for readline in setup.py. You could use trunk version before this 
readline update.

Now I'm working on readline and ncurses support for mingw . All patches before 
skip this as MSVC build don't support them. As I could not found reason to 
limit mingw users I will post soon version without limitation.

P.S. Many thanks to евроком (www.ekk.com now blizzo) - a company that left me 
for a week without internet connection.

[issue1602] windows console doesn't print utf8 (Py30a2)

[STINNER Victor]

> Maybe the solution is to use the win32 console API directly...

Yes, it is the best solution because it avoids the horrible mbcs encoding.

About cp65001: it is not *exactly* the same encoding than utf-8 and so it 
cannot be used as an alias to utf-8: see issue #6058.

[issue8990] array constructor and array.fromstring should accept bytearray.

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor  added the comment:

About the patch:

 - Why not reading itemsize from buffer.itemsize?
 - A test would be nice in Lib/test/test_array.py (in test_tofromstring?). 
Please add also a.extend(bytearray(b'xjxjx')) to the test suite.


I agree that it is a bugfix and so i can be applied to 3.1 (and 3.2).

> fromstring should become frombytes.

I remember an issue proposing that. I also prefer .frombytes() name: we can add 
.frombytes() and keep .fromstring() as an alias to .frombytes() (and maybe mark 
it as deprecated).

An issue starting at:
http://bugs.python.org/issue1023290#msg92069

Can someone open a issue about .frombytes()?

> fromunicode is still needed. 

Can someone open a new issue about .fromunicodes()?

[issue9035] os.path.ismount on windows doesn't support windows mount points

[Oren Held]

New submission from Oren Held :

On unices, ismount checks whether the given path is a mount point.
On windows, it only checks whether it's a drive letter.

Long story short, Python simply returns False when doing ismount(r"c:\mount1"), 
while c:\mount1 is a real mount point.

This is relevant for all modern windows versions.

-- 

I'm using win32file.GetVolumePathName() for overcoming this, but I'm not sure 
if the os python package should be importing win32file, maybe there is a better 
way to check whether a path is a mount point..
