[issue12211] math.copysign must keep object type.

2011-06-04 Thread umedoblock

umedoblock umedobl...@gmail.com added the comment:

abs() behavior show below.
 type(abs(-1))
class 'int'
 type(abs(-1.0))
class 'float'

we should fix this problem if write
Return abs(x) with the sign of y

I'd like to try this problem if need fix.
I'm going to attach the patch.

[issue12224] problem with siginterrupt

2011-06-04 Thread Charles-François Natali

Charles-François Natali neolo...@free.fr added the comment:

Actually, it's part of a more general problem with EINTR being returned by many 
posix/socket module functions, see for example issue #7978.
On the one hand, having to retry manually on EINTR is cumbersome, on the other 
hand, some code might rely on this - receiving EINTR - and the posix module 
policy is to expose syscalls as-is.
This should probably be closed as duplicate of issue #9867.

[issue12224] problem with siginterrupt

2011-06-04 Thread STINNER Victor

STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com added the comment:

 Victor, I understand your response as saying that there is no bug,
 which would suggest closing this. Correct? If not, what is
 the requested action?

siginterrupt(False) has no effect on select().

I listed some solutions to not interrupt select() on a signal (avoid completly 
EINTR). Issues #7978 and #9867 try the other solution, handle EINTR (retry 
select() on EINTR). I think that most users prefer the later (handle EINTR), so 
let's close as a duplicate.

@Zhiping Deng: Reopen the issue if you want the first solution :-)

Zhiping Deng kofreesty...@gmail.com added the comment:

I think the problem is that after a user calles signal.siginterrupt(False), 
he would expect that the socket.recv should handles EINTR properly 
for him because it's the behaviour in c level. 
He doesn't know socket.recv() calles select(2) internally and he needn't.

Or at least this should be documented in signal.siginterrupt().

[issue12226] use secured channel for uploading packages to pypi

2011-06-04 Thread Éric Araujo

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

 I think there should be a warning that the connection is
 unauthenticated (i.e. not secure). Users tend to be upset if they see
 'https' and later find out that no certificates were verified.

Thanks Stephan, that was on my mind but I forgot it.  I’m -1 on using https if 
no validation is performed.

 I believe that's a very personal judgement.

Not really; it’s an explanation of our release rules, exposed by one of the 
older developers.

 For me exposing core Python development accounts is a fundamental
 flaw.

What is a core Python development account?

We do not want to create a directory under $prefix before installation.  This

[issue12211] math.copysign must keep object type.

2011-06-04 Thread Mark Dickinson

Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment:

How about something like: Return a float with the magnitude of x but the sign 
of y.?

The behaviour of math.copysign with respect to non-float inputs matches that of 
almost all the other math module functions:  integer arguments are first 
converted to floats, and then the underlying libm function applied.  I'm not 
convinced that changing the behaviour of copysign to produce integer results 
for integer argument would be a good idea.

[issue12164] str.translate docstring doesn't mention that 'table' can be None

2011-06-04 Thread Mark Dickinson

Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment:

Thanks for the patches!  Here's a slight expansion of the wording on your 
second patch:

 Return a copy of the string S, where all characters occurring
 in the optional argument deletechars are removed, and the
 remaining characters have been mapped through the given
 translation table, which must be a string of length 256 or None.
 If the table argument is None, no translation is applied and
 the translation simply removes the characters in deletechars.

What do you think?

[issue12245] Document the meaning of FLT_ROUNDS constants for sys.float_info

2011-06-04 Thread Mark Dickinson

Mark Dickinson dicki...@gmail.com added the comment:

float_info.rounds is a bit of an odd fish, and I think it was probably a 
mistake to include it in sys.float_info in the first place.

All the other float_info fields relate to parameters of the floating-point 
format, which is fixed, useful information.  In contrast, float_info.rounds 
gives information about the current FPU settings, which are variable.  
Moreover, it doesn't do that very well:  all it does is give information about 
the FPU settings at the time that Python was compiled, which isn't really very 
helpful (and perhaps not even that:  it reports the value of FLT_ROUNDS, which 
may not even reflect those FPU settings accurately).  I wouldn't mind seeing 
this field fade quietly into obscurity.

FWIW, the value is taken from C's FLT_ROUNDS, and its interpretation is 
*supposed* to be the following (C99 5.2.4.2.2, para 7):

  -1:  The compiler was unable to determine rounding mode.
   0:  Round towards zero.
   1:  Round to nearest (this is the most likely value for
   float_info.rounds on common platforms).
   2:  Round towards positive infinity
   3:  Round towards negative infinity.

Note that I've at least accomplished one goal, which is to have a tracker issue

[issue8286] distutils: path '[...]' cannot end with '/' -- need better error message

2011-06-04 Thread Éric Araujo

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

There is a simple way to fix this: change one line in sdist to catch 
ValueErrors in addition to DistutilsTemplateError.  Users will get a on-line 
warning message with the ill-formed manifest line number instead of a wall of 
traceback.

This is clearly a bug fix IMO: it is documented that distutils code can raise 
standard exceptions in addition to Distutils* errors, so here it’s not a new 
feature but a fix for sdist.

(Another way to fix this, would be to catch ValueError raised by convert_path 
in filelist and wrap it in a DistutilsTemplateError, but I’m not sure it really 
buys us anything.  Maybe it would be the better fix for Packaging, where the 
Manifest class is intended for public use.)

Mark, sorry for not replying earlier. The patch looks great.

I've also tested the patch in practice: I ran 700,000,000 random tests with
an exponent range of [-9, 9]. This took three days.

Without the patch, this would have been impossible; the range had to be
restricted to [-, ].

Unfortunately I got sidetracked reviewing the rest of the function (today
I started out on a mechanical proof of the nth-root part).

I *did* review the changes though, and I think they are correct.

[issue12014] str.format parses replacement field incorrectly

2011-06-04 Thread Petri Lehtinen

Petri Lehtinen pe...@digip.org added the comment:

 PEP 3101 defines format strings as intermingled character data and markup. 
 Markup defines replacement fields and is delimited by braces. Only after 
 markup is extracted does the PEP talk about interpreting the contents of the 
 markup.
 
 So, given {0[a}b]} the parser first parses out the character data and the 
 markup. The first piece of markup is {0[a}. That gives a syntax error 
 because it's missing a right bracket.
 
 I realize you'd like the parser to find the markup as the entire string, but 
 that's not how I read the PEP.

This is a good point, although the support of further replacement
fields inside format_specifiers requies the parser to count matching
braces, if the markup is to be extracted before its interpreted.

But disallowing unmathced '}' inside the replacement field doesn't
still explain why this shouldn't work:

'{0[!]!r}'.format({'!': 'foo'})

I'm completely fine with disallowing '}', but it seems to me that
there's absolutely no reason to not parse the element_index and later
fields correctly with respect to '!' and ':'.

return whatever it used to return (since that has worked so far), but realising 
that this was an old-style class, I couldn't just call super(TheClass, 
self).__dir__().

So my question is: If this change stays (which seems clear given that the only 
changes proposed here are ways of relaxing the type requirement of the __dir__ 
method's return value, not reverting the change altogether), and I have an 
old-style class with a __getattr__ defined, how do I make that class return 
whatever it would have usually returned for __dir__()?

[issue12248] __dir__ semantics changed in Python 2.7.2

 Soren Hansen so...@linux2go.dk added the comment:

 When I first investigated this problem (I reported the original bug on 
 Launchpad), my first attempt to address this issue in pymox had me quite 
 stumped. The class in question has a __getattr__ method. Up until now, this 
 hasn't affected the use of dir(), but it does now. I really just wanted it 
 return whatever it used to return (since that has worked so far), but 
 realising that this was an old-style class, I couldn't just call

 have an old-style class with a __getattr__ defined, how do I make that class 
 return whatever it would have usually returned for __dir__()?

Yes, this is a limitation of magic methods on old style classes. The
usual method is something like this:

def __getattr__(self, name):
if name == __dir__:
return self.__dir__
# Other stuff

Of course, the best fix is to use new-style classes. :)

[issue12262] Not Inheriting File Descriptors on Windows?

2011-06-04 Thread sbt

sbt shibt...@gmail.com added the comment:

Although Windows fds are not inheritable, the handles associated with fds can 
be made inheritable.

A workaround for the fact fds are not inheritable is the following pattern:

1) The parent process converts the fd to a handle using _get_osfhandle(fd).

2) The parent process makes the handle inheritable (if it is not already) using 
SetHandleInformation() or DuplicateHandle().

3) The parent process starts the child process and passes the handle number on 
the commandline.

4) The child process gets the handle number by parsing the commandline.

5) The child process uses _open_osfhandle(handle, flags) to convert the handle 
into an fd.  

Note that Python has open_osfhandle() and get_osfhandle() in the msvcrt module. 
 In C, _open_osfhandle() and _get_osfhandle() are declared in io.h.

[issue12263] punycode codec ignores the error handler argument

2011-06-04 Thread STINNER Victor

New submission from STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com:

b'abc\xff'.decode('punycode', 'ignore') raises the same error than 
b'abc\xff'.decode('punycode', 'replace') or b'abc\xff'.decode('punycode'): it 
uses the strict error handler, and simply ignores the error handler.

punycodec, as idna, should raise an exception if the error handler is different

[issue12211] math.copysign must keep object type.

2011-06-04 Thread Terry J. Reedy

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

 Return a float with the magnitude of x but the sign of y.
This appears to describe both current behavior and what I believe was the 
intention. I would go with a doc patch based on this.
umedoblock, go ahead and make one.

It occurred to me, also, that as currently written, copysign 'should' return 
the type of the first arg. In C89, and I suspect in Python 1.0, all math 
functions return double (Python float). Like Mark, I am more inclined to change 
the doc than the code.

1. One use of copysign is to give a correctly signed 0.0. This does not apply 
to ints, where 0 is always unsigned. I do not know of any use of copysign in 
number (count/int) theory. (There could be, of course.)

2. icopysign(-1,0) == +1 (sign added for emphasis), whereas I believe that for 
ints, the answer should be -1, as 0 has no sign.

def icopysign(j,k):
if (j  0) and (k  0) or (j  0) and (k  0):
return -j
return j
for j,k,i in ((1,1,1), (1,-1,-1), (-1,-1,-1), (-1, 1, 1),
  (1,0,1), (-1,0,-1)):
assert icopysign(j,k) == i, (j,k,i)

This would certainly be up for debate if we changed the code, but there should 
be no difference in outputs for same value inputs. (This principle is the 
reason for / and //.) So lets leave copysign as a function defined on floats 
with inputs coerced to float if needed. Anyone who needs it for ints can define 
it for (-1,0) according to their need.

[issue12232] embedded python import cmath

2011-06-04 Thread Terry J. Reedy

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

{It you reply by mail, please snip off the message you are replying to.}

From what I have read, Windows is not a very pleasant environment for 
extending and embedding.

1. It works best if both Python and the extender or embedder are compiled with 
the same version (of Microsoft VC). Does Borland Builder 6 claim compatibility 
with any particular versions of MS C++?

2. Problems like this probably need a debug build of Python, which you would 
have to make yourself, and unlike *nux, Windows does not come with a system 
compiler. (There is now, however, a free VC Express, but I believe the one 
needed to go with 2.6 is no longer available ;-(.

I am inclined to close this both because it does not involve current Python and 
because it appears to be an issue with BB or the interface that is out of our 
control (as you said, Python by itself works fine). I am only leaving this open 
to give you a chance to provide evidence otherwise with 2.7 or 3.2.

I recommend that you might try the trivial 'import cmath\n' with other Python 
versions. Which versions would depend on what BB6 claims to be compatible with.

I also recommend that you ask for help on python-list or other forums
(such a Stackoverflow). Use a subject like Embedding Python 2.6 with Borland 
Builder 6 This might catch the attention of someone who knows something about 
BB.

[issue12265] revamp argument errors

2011-06-04 Thread Benjamin Peterson

New submission from Benjamin Peterson benja...@python.org:

This patch completely rewrites errors given for positional error mismatches. 
The goal is to give more informative and correct errors.

Some examples:

 def f(): pass
... 
 f(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
 f(1, kw=4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() got an unexpected keyword argument 'kw'
 def f(a, b=2): pass
... 
 f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 0 were given
 f(1, 2, 3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given
 def f(a, *b): pass
... 
 f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() takes at least 1 positional argument but 0 were given
 f(kw=4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() got an unexpected keyword argument 'kw'

When keyword-only arguments come into play, things get a bit more complicated. 
When a positional argument error occurs, it's confusing to report only the 
positional arguments, but not completely relevant to report keyword-only 
arguments. I comprise by putting the keyword-only argument information in 
parenthesis. Tell me if you have a better idea.

 def f(*, kw): pass
... 
 f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() requires keyword-only argument 'kw'
 f(1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
 f(3, kw=4)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File stdin, line 1, in module
TypeError: f() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 positional arguments (and 1 
keyword-only argument) were given
