[issue9382] os.popen referenced but not documented in Python 3.x
R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: (D) in python 3, os.popen has been reimplemented using subprocess.Popen. So the other mentions of os.popen should probably be replaced with mentions of subprocess.Popen. Your (C) is close...the continued existence of os.popen in Python3 is, I think, a bit of a kludge (I wasn't around for the discussion), but a backward compatibility one. I don't know if there is a plan to deprecate it, but I suspect not. On the other hand I certainly wouldn't recommend using it, since it does an import inside the function, which can get one into trouble if one uses threads. -- nosy: +r.david.murray ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9382 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

I agree with Arfrever, we should suppress the OSError only if the target file exists as a directory, but not other types. That is, the exist_ok argument in makedirs() should mean dir existing is ok, only existing of the exact same thing as we specified to create is ok, not other things. I will fixed this later. Besides, I wonder what should we do if the target directory exists but with a different mode than we specified(if we specified the mode argument).

Yes, but it is not responsible for teaching a novice more than one way to exit the interpreter right off the bat.Note that the Ctrl-D/Ctrl-Z recommendation has a long history from the time when there was no exit/quit object defined in the default site.py and the alternative to the magic key-press was an unwieldy raise SystemExit. Note the following bug report from IDLEfork project: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=109579aid=69group_id=9579 Apparently, some IDEs may want to rebind Ctrl-Z form EOF to (in this case) undo action. This is quite reasonable, but it makes the exit hint misleading. There are many reasons outside of python control for EOF to be bound to the keys other than Ctrl-Z/D. The current logic in site.py that makes a choice based on the filepath separator character is quite fragile: if os.sep == ':': eof = 'Cmd-Q' elif os.sep == '\\': eof = 'Ctrl-Z plus Return' else: eof = 'Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF)' What would the novice make of my HP keyboard which doesn't have keys marked RETURN or BS, they both have symbols. There is very little you can do at the command prompt without knowing where your enter key is. In fact, you will not even see the hint in question if you don't press enter after typing exit. On the other hand, you can get quite far without using control key and if it is marked control or a national equivalent on your keyboard, you may not know the ctrl abbreviation for quite some time. Note that my last alternative, Use exit() to exit or Enter exit() to exit does not require knowing how the enter key is called. The user just need to know the means of entering commands and he or she must know this before seeing the exit hint anyways. There isn't an ANY key on the keyboard either! :) Right.

[issue9384] Tkinter windows pop under the terminal in OSX
New submission from Alexander Belopolsky belopol...@users.sourceforge.net:
I believe any Tkinter app will exhibit the same behavior, but I discovered this
with idle and verified with wish.py:
$ ./python.exe Demo/tkinter/guido/wish.py
% quit
Traceback (most recent call last):
File Demo/tkinter/guido/wish.py, line 22, in module
if tk.getboolean(tk.call('info', 'complete', cmd)):
_tkinter.TclError: expected boolean value but got
Note that the Traceback above is probably due to another bug.
If you start wish.py from a terminal covering the top left corner of the
screen, the wish window will appear under the terminal window.

[issue9385] python-2.6.5 and 3.2.1 uses 'rwx' mmap() calls for the ctypes module
New submission from Radoslaw Madej radeg...@o2.pl: Hi, Python ctypes module creates a 'rwx' memory mapping (defined in malloc_closure.c) which causes python to crash when running under grsecurity enabled kernel and could also have a negative security impact. Is there any specific need for the mmap call to create an executable mapping or can it be safely removed? Please refer here for more information and proposed patch: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329499 The actual mmap call: item = (ITEM *)mmap(NULL, count * sizeof(ITEM), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); There has been further investigation done by Gentoo users and work towards python handling this error gracefully rather than segfaulting. It seems that dereference at Py_XDECREF(self-restype); (line 23 of Modules/_ctypes/callbacks.c) causes the segfault.

[issue9386] Bad indentation in urllib import fixer with multipe imports
New submission from Dave Malcolm dmalc...@redhat.com:
Running 2to3 on lxml-2.2.6 failed with broken indentation.
This fragment from lxml/html/__init__.py:
def open_http_urllib(method, url, values):
## FIXME: should test that it's not a relative URL or something
try:
from urllib import urlencode, urlopen
except ImportError: # Python 3
became:
def open_http_urllib(method, url, values):
## FIXME: should test that it's not a relative URL or something
try:
from urllib.parse import urlencode
from urllib.request import urlopen
except ImportError: # Python 3
which is syntactically invalid: note the invalid indentation for the second
import line.
Seems to work when there's a single name imported per line; fails when more
than one name is imported from urlib.
Am attaching a patch to test_fixers (for the 2.7 branch) which adds a
reproducer. I don't have a fix.

Łukasz Langa luk...@langa.pl added the comment: The original patch was of no use because didn't let users specify multicharacter delimiters and comment delimiters. The main goal behind the implementation was making monstrosities like the Samba configuration file work. This is why a sample smb.conf is added to the tests as to show what is now parsable. The patch is called issue1682942.diff and is quite big. Georg, Brian, before you panic, please note the following: the old test suite with the new code works (which means it's by default backwards compatible). With a patch of that size it also might just be easier for you to browse the patched code and not the patch itself.

[issue9334] argparse does not accept options taking arguments beginning with dash (regression from optparse)
Steven Bethard steven.beth...@gmail.com added the comment: I still disagree. You're giving the parser ambiguous input. If a parser sees --foo --bar, and --foo is a valid option, but --bar is not, this is a legitimately ambiguous situation. Either the user really wanted --bar, and the parser doesn't support it, or the --bar was meant to be the argument to the --foo flag. At this point, the parser must make an arbitrary decision, and argparse chooses the interpretation that the user wanted the --bar flag. I understand that you have a good use case for the other interpretation. That's why I suggest you come up with a patch that allows this other interpretation to be enabled when necessary. Changing the default behavior is really a non-starter unless you can propose a sensible transition strategy (as is always necessary for changing APIs in backwards incompatible ways). -- ___ 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

[issue9334] argparse does not accept options taking arguments beginning with dash (regression from optparse)
Anders Kaseorg ande...@mit.edu added the comment: I still disagree. You're giving the parser ambiguous input. If a parser sees --foo --bar, and --foo is a valid option, but --bar is not, this is a legitimately ambiguous situation. There is no ambiguity. According to the way that every standard option parsing library has worked for decades, the parser knows that --foo takes an argument, so the string after --foo is in a different grammatical context than options are, and is automatically interpreted as an argument to --foo. (It doesn’t matter whether that string begins with a dash, is a valid argument, might become a valid argument in some future version, looks like a negative number, or any other such condition.) arguments = *(positional-argument / option) [-- *(positional-argument)] positional-argument = string option = foo-option / bar-option foo-option = --foo string bar-option = --bar This is just like how variable names in Python are in a different grammatical position than keyword argument names, so that Popen(shell) is not confused with Popen(shell=True). This is not ambiguity; it simply follows from the standard definition of the grammar. argparse’s alternative interpretation of that string as another option does not make sense because it violates the requirement that --foo has been defined to take an argument. The only justification for considering that input ambiguous is if you start assuming that argparse knows better than the user (“the user accidentally forgot to type the name of the conf file”) and try to guess what they meant. This violates the user’s expectations of how the command line should work. It also creates subtle bugs in scripts that call argparse-based programs (think about call([program, --foo, foo_argument]) where foo_argument comes from some complex computation or even untrusted network input). Changing the default behavior is really a non-starter unless you can propose a sensible transition strategy (as is always necessary for changing APIs in backwards incompatible ways). This would not be a backwards incompatible change, since every option that previously parsed successfully would also parse in the same way after the fix. -- ___ 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

[issue9387] Make python -m tkinter run tkinter demo
Alexander Belopolsky belopol...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: On Mon, Jul 26, 2010 at 4:16 PM, Éric Araujo rep...@bugs.python.org wrote: .. I lack context: Why is being able to run “python -m tkinter” useful? The missing context is in issue 9384. I discovered that python -m tkinter did not work when I was looking for a simple way to demonstrate the tkinter pop-under bug. The demo code was already in the package but would not run using -m option. Tests can be run directly or via regrtest, and I recall Guido saying that using modules as scripts was an anti-pattern to him, i.e. sometimes useful but not always necessary. I have not heard it from Guido, but I agree with one exception. If the module contains doctests, it is useful to have doctest run boilerplate in the file. While regrtest runs most of the existing doctests, it does not discover them and there is no option to run doctests separately from unit tests as far as I know. Note that tkinter._test() is not really a test, it is a tiny demo program. (I am changing the title accordingly.) I think exposing it as python -m tkinter would provide one obvious way for users to see if they have working tkinter and what its widgets look like. -- title: Make python -m tkinter run tkinter test - Make python -m tkinter run tkinter demo ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue9387 ___ ___ 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)
Anders Kaseorg ande...@mit.edu added the comment: arguments = *(positional-argument / option) [-- *(positional-argument)] positional-argument = string option = foo-option / bar-option foo-option = --foo string bar-option = --bar Er, obviously positional arguments before the first ‘--’ can’t begin with a dash (I don’t think there’s any confusion over how those should work). arguments = *(non-dash-positional-argument / option) [-- *(positional-argument)] non-dash-positional-argument = string not beginning with - positional-argument = string The point was just that the grammar unambiguously allows the argument of --foo to be any string. -- ___ 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
