[issue7977] I found Python 3.1 xmlrpc lib use param not properly. and i have fixed it.
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: But what if I want to pass a tuple through xmlrpc? The function in the test case: +def execute(server, methodname, *args): +r = getattr(server, methodname)(args) # params become a tuple +return r looks wrong to me. It has the effect to modify the nature of the arguments. If I write instead: +def execute(server, methodname, *args): +r = getattr(server, methodname)(*args) +return r (note the additional '*') the function may receive several arguments, and will call the server method with several arguments as well. Tuple unpacking occurs where tuple packing was made. The library does not need to be changed. -- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc resolution: - invalid status: open - pending ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue7977 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue8297] AttributeError message text should include module name
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc amaur...@gmail.com added the comment: I also like the idea; 3 remarks though: - the patch introduces a new function that returns a PyObject*, but returns NULL when the attribute is not found, and the caller should raise AttributeError. This convention is not standard among the Python API and dangerous IMO. This part of the patch is not necessary. PyModule_GetAttr could just call PyObject_GenericGetAttr and override the current exception with a new message. - it's not necessary to expose the function PyModule_GetAttr. It could be renamed to something like module_getattr, and be a static function. Module writers are already used to PyObject_GetAttr to access the module items, this new function brings nothing new. - a minor nit: instead of module object 'mod_name' has no attribute 'xxx' I'd prefer module 'mod_name' has no attribute 'xxx' -- nosy: +amaury.forgeotdarc ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue8297 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Ray.Allen ysj@gmail.com added the comment: I think it's a good idea adding a keyword argument to specify the separator of readlines(). I believe most people can accept the universal meaning of line, which has similar meaning of record, that is a chunk data, maybe from using line separators other than '\n' in perl, or akw, or the find command. Maybe doing this doesn't pollute the meaning of readlines. Splitting the file contents with s special character is really a common usage. Besides, I feel using a line separator other than '\n' doesn't mean we're dealing with binary format, in fact, I often deal with text format with the record separator '\t'. -- nosy: +ysj.ray ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1152248 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue5673] Add timeout option to subprocess.Popen
Alexander Belopolsky belopol...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: The documentation should mention somewhere that timeout can be a float. For example, as in time.sleep docstring: sleep(seconds) Delay execution for a given number of seconds. The argument may be a floating point number for subsecond precision. I would also like to see some discussion of supported precision. Is is the same as for time.sleep()? Does float precision ever affect timeout precision? (On systems with nanosleep it may, but probably this has no practical concequences.) This can be done as a future enhancement, but I would like to see datetime.timedelta as an acceptable type for timeout. This can be done by adding duck-typed code in the error branch which would attempt to call timeout.total_seconds() to extract a float. Looking further, it appears that timeout can be anything that can be added to a float to produce float. Is this an accident of implementation or a design decision? Note that a result Fraction can be used as timeout but Decimal cannot. Zero and negative timeouts are accepted by subprocess.call(), but the result is not documented. It looks like this still starts the process, but kills it immediately. An alternative would be to not start the process at all or disallow negative or maybe even zero timeouts altogether. I don't mind the current choice, but it should be documented at least in Popen.wait(timeout=None) section. +def wait(self, timeout=None, endtime=None): Wait for child process to terminate. Returns returncode attribute. Docstring should describe timeout and endtime arguments. In fact I don't see endtime documented anywhere. It is not an obvious choice that endtime is ignored when timeout is given. An alternative would be to terminate at min(now + timeout, endtime). +delay = 0.0005 # 500 us - initial delay of 1 ms I think this should be an argument to wait() and the use of busy loop should be documented. +delay = min(delay * 2, remaining, .05) Why .05? It would probably be an overkill to make this another argument, but maybe make it an attribute of Popen, say self._max_busy_loop_delay or a shorter descriptive name of your choice. If you start it with '_', you don't need to document it, but users may be able to mess with it if they suspect that 0.05 is not the right choice. +endtime = time.time() + timeout Did you consider using datetime module instead of time module here? (I know, you still need time.sleep() later, but you won't need to worry about variable precision of time.time().) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5673 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue9329] freeze tool cannot handle JSON module properly

Freeze tool can generate Makefile and C code for Python programs using the JSON

is run, this is returned:

[issue1152248] Enhance file.readlines by making line separator selectable
Douglas Alan darkwate...@gmail.com added the comment: Personally, I think that this functionality should be built into Python's readlines. That's where a typical person would expect it to be, and this is something that is supported by most other scripting language I've used. E.g., awk has the RS variable which lets you set the input record separator, which defaults to newline. And as I previously pointed out, xargs and find provide the option to use null as their line separator. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1152248 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I don’t think that small change is good enough, if it is still the case that
the only provided example is the dangerous one.
It would be easy to clarify the differences between the classes:

[c for c in rl]
['m', 'a', 'p', 's']
[c for c in rl]
['m', 'a', 'p', 's']
ri = iter(rl)

There is nothing wrong with explaining how to write an iterator, but the explanation needs to make clear that this is _not_ how you write a container. Currently the section opens with a misleading motivation (“By now you have probably noticed that most container objects can be looped over using a for statement”), but it does actually not explain how to write a container at all.

When I apply this patch to a regular Python 2.7 installation on Windows (Windows 2000 running under VirtualBox on Linux), the tests pass (as well as on my Linux box when applied against the release27-maint SVN branch). Output from testing on Windows: C:\Python27\Lib\testpython test_doctest.py doctest (doctest) ... 66 tests with zero failures doctest (test.test_doctest) ... 443 tests with zero failures C:\Python27\Lib\testpython Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. Hopefully the improved patch will test OK on your box as well. If not, I'll work on testing it in a Windows build environment against an SVN checkout. Improvements in doctest-fixes6.diff: - Uses with statements to guard all file reads (in earlier patches writes were guarded but reads were not); - Saves and restores sys.path the same way as test_importhooks; - Checks for byte-compiled files in __pycache__ when deleting temporary files (this was in the py3k patch already, but reading PEP 3147 it looks like this feature may be backported to 2.7 as well); - Test setup/cleanup is now done in a TestFixture class, for clarity and because it's easier that way to store the original sys.path in the setup and restore it in the cleanup. -- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file18133/doctest-fixes6.diff ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1812 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue1152248] Enhance file.readlines by making line separator selectable

That's where a typical person would expect it to be, and this is something that is supported by most other scripting language I've used. Adding it to readline() and/or readlines() would modify the standard IO Abstract Base Classes, and would therefore probably need discussion on python-dev. That's also the reason why I'm suggesting a separate readrecords() method - the appropriate ABC should be able to implement it as a concrete method based on something like the recipe above. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1152248 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9334] argparse does not accept options taking arguments beginning with dash (regression from optparse)
New submission from Anders Kaseorg ande...@mit.edu:
Porting the a2x program to argparse from the now-deprecated optparse subtly
breaks it when certain options are passed:
$ a2x --asciidoc-opts --safe gitcli.txt
$ ./a2x.argparse --asciidoc-opts --safe gitcli.txt
usage: a2x [-h] [--version] [-a ATTRIBUTE] [--asciidoc-opts ASCIIDOC_OPTS]
[--copy] [--conf-file CONF_FILE] [-D PATH] [-d DOCTYPE]
[--epubcheck] [-f FORMAT] [--icons] [--icons-dir PATH] [-k]
[--lynx] [-L] [-n] [-r PATH] [-s] [--stylesheet STYLESHEET]
[--safe] [--dblatex-opts DBLATEX_OPTS] [--fop]
[--fop-opts FOP_OPTS] [--xsltproc-opts XSLTPROC_OPTS] [-v]
a2x: error: argument --asciidoc-opts: expected one argument
Apparently argparse uses a heuristic to try to guess whether an argument looks
like an argument or an option, going so far as to check whether it looks like a
negative number (!). It should _never_ guess: the option was specified to take
an argument, so the following argument should always be parsed as an argument.
Small test case:
import optparse
parser = optparse.OptionParser(prog='a2x')
parser.add_option('--asciidoc-opts',
... action='store', dest='asciidoc_opts', default='',
... metavar='ASCIIDOC_OPTS', help='asciidoc options')
parser.parse_args(['--asciidoc-opts', '--safe'])
(Values at 0x7f585142ef80: {'asciidoc_opts': '--safe'}, [])
import argparse
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(prog='a2x')
parser.add_argument('--asciidoc-opts',
... action='store', dest='asciidoc_opts', default='',
... metavar='ASCIIDOC_OPTS', help='asciidoc options')
parser.parse_args(['--asciidoc-opts', '--safe'])
usage: a2x [-h] [--asciidoc-opts ASCIIDOC_OPTS]
a2x: error: argument --asciidoc-opts: expected one argument

[issue9333] Expose a way to enable os.symlink on Windows
Jason R. Coombs jar...@jaraco.com added the comment: I think we should consider simply calling this function before running os.symlink. It would be nice if the API were as compatible as possible on both unix and Windows. My worry is that where code that works on unix systems is simply: os.symlink(...) But now to support symlinks on Windows, one must write: if hasattr(os, 'enable_symlink') and not os.enable_symlink(): raise WindowsError(...) os.symlink(...) Maybe instead of adding os.enable_symlink, Python should include the above logic before attempting to create a symlink and raise an exception if it fails? This would provide a consistent API across platforms for the most common use-case. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9333 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R.

Nelson Elhage nelh...@nelhage.com added the comment: For what it's worth, I have trouble seeing this as anything but a bug. I understand the motivation of trying to catch user errors, but in doing so, you're breaking with the behavior of every other option parsing library that I'm aware of, in favor of an arbitrary heuristic that sometimes guesses wrong. That's not the kind of behavior I expect from my Python libraries; I want them to do what I ask them to, not try to guess what I probably meant. -- nosy: +nelhage ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9334 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Anders Kaseorg ande...@mit.edu added the comment: Though in general I find argparse's default behavior more useful. I’m not sure I understand. Why is it useful for an option parsing library to heuristically decide, by default, that I didn’t actually want to pass in the valid option that I passed in? Shouldn’t that be up to the caller (or up to the program, if it explicitly decides to reject such arguments)? Keep in mind that the caller might be another script instead of a user. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9334 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
