[issue17235] make sharedinstall ignores ./configure settings
Ned Deily added the comment: Sorry, I'm unable to reproduce your results and they look rather suspicious. Keep in mind that the Python build uses its copy of Distutils to build and install the interpreter's shared extension modules, like _ctypes.so. My guess is that your make install is being influenced by settings in a Distutils configuration file, such as ~/.pydistutils.cfg. If so, this is a duplicate of Issue4655. http://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html#distutils-configuration-files -- nosy: +ned.deily resolution: - duplicate stage: - committed/rejected status: open - pending superseder: - during Python installation, setup.py should not use .pydistutils.cfg ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17235 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue4655] during Python installation, setup.py should not use .pydistutils.cfg
Ned Deily added the comment: rdm notes in duplicate Issue6138: There is a bug here, of some sort. Either the .pydistutils.cfg file's install clause should override the default --prefix somehow, or the error message should indicate where the setting for 'home' and '--prefix' came from to enable the user to debug the configuration. In the latter case there would also need to be a way to explicitly tell either make install or configure to ignore .pydistutils.cfg. In the former case, an explicit --prefix passed to configure would need to override .pydistutils.cfg. -- nosy: +ned.deily, r.david.murray -BreamoreBoy versions: +Python 3.3, Python 3.4 -Python 3.1 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue4655 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue17252] Latin Capital Letter I with Dot Above
R. David Murray added the comment: I thought this would just be a difference in the unicode database, but that appears not to be the case. Ezio, this is related to the infamous Turkic dotless lower case i problem (see, eg, http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-bugs-list/2005-October/030686.html). The SpecialCasing.txt file entries for these characters seems to be the same in 6.0.0 (3.2) and 6.1.0 (3.3). So the question is, why did the Python behavior change, and is it indeed a bug? What python3.3 is returning is the canonical version, which would seem to be correct. Have we been buggy up to this point and something got fixed? And, referencing that thread above, how does one do a locale dependent lower case? -- components: +Unicode nosy: +ezio.melotti, r.david.murray ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17252 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue17252] Latin Capital Letter I with Dot Above
Firat Ozgul added the comment:
In Python, things like lowercasing-uppercasing and sorting were always
problematic with regard to Turkish language. For instance, whatever the locale
is, you cannot lowercase the word 'KADIN' (woman) in Turkish correctly::
KADIN.lower()
'kadin'
... which is wrong. That should be 'kadın' ('kad\u0131n'). Likewise 'kitap'
(book)::
kitap.upper()
'KITAP'
... which is wrong. That should be 'KİTAP' ('K\u0130TAP').
As for this thread, in 3.3, Python does a completely different thing::
KİTAP.lower()
'ki\u0307tap' #wrong
In Python 3.2, this was::
KİTAP.lower()
'kitap' #correct
'i' and 'i\u0307' are not the same.
Turkish Python programmers define their own upper(), lower(), title(),
swapcase() and casefold() methods and use their own sorting techniques.

[issue17253] stdin.readline behaviour different between IDLE and the console
New submission from Jason R Briggs: The sys.stdin.readline function takes a limit parameter, which limits the number of characters read. If you try using that parameter in IDLE, you get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File pyshell#1, line 1, in module sys.stdin.readline(13) TypeError: readline() takes exactly 1 positional argument (2 given) I've tried this in a number of different versions and it looks to have been like this for a while. A possible fix looks fairly straightforward. Something vaguely like... def readline(self): --- def readline(self, limit=-1): 993a994,995 if limit = 0: line = line[0:limit] (with apologies if this is a dup ticket -- there seems to be a number of tickets raised regarding issues with IDLE and its version stdin/stdout, but I couldn't see any which discussed this particular behaviour). -- components: IDLE messages: 182488 nosy: jason.briggs priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: stdin.readline behaviour different between IDLE and the console type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17253 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue17255] test_any and test_all should validate short-circuiting behaviour
New submission from wim glenn: The docs http://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#all provide some equivalent code for all builtin (and similarly for any): def all(iterable): for element in iterable: if not element: return False return True The behaviour is clearly documented as short-circuiting, but the cases contained in test_builtin.py are lacking any test coverage for the short-circuiting behaviour. You could implement any/all in a broken way that still passes the current tests (consuming more of a generator than you want to for example), so it is important to guarantee the short-circuiting.

Benjamin Peterson added the comment: The locale module does not affect Unicode operations. That's C locale; I'm talking about concept of Unicode locale, which Python doesn't currently know anything about. I agree it would be useful to customize the locale of various unicode operations. That's a much broader language-level issue, though, in need of careful design. As for the useless generic mapping of LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE, the idea is there is no LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE so the generic lower casing comes from decomposing the character then lowering the latin one. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17252 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue13772] listdir() doesn't work with non-trivial symlinks
Jason R. Coombs added the comment: I've started work on restoring the directory detection in my bitbucket repo (https://bitbucket.org/jaraco/cpython-issue13772). I have added a regression test to capture the basic failure (where the link is not created in the current working directory) as well as a fix. The fix uses the [Microsoft Shell Lightweight Utility Functions](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb759844%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) which has one benefit of being tested and robust, but has two disadvantages, namely: - it adds a link-time dependency. - it doesn't support forward-slashes, which the reference implementation does, and which I believe the CPython implementation should. Interestingly, it does detect the '/' character as a separator - it just doesn't treat it as one when stripping the trailing path. Given these disadvantages, I'm inclined to write custom functions to support the directory detection. Any suggestions are appreciated. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue13772 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue17257] re module shows unexpected non-greedy behavior when using groups
New submission from Hendrik Lemelson:
When using the Python 2.7.3 re module, it shows a strange behavior upon the use
of quantifiers together with groups:
re.search('(a*)', 'ct').groups()
('',)
re.search('(a+)', 'ct').groups()
('',)
re.search('(a{0,5})', 'ct').groups()
('',)
re.search('(a{1,5})', 'ct').groups()
('',)
Whenever a quantifier is used that allows also zero occurrences, the quantifier
loses its greedy behavior. This in my eyes is a defect in the re module. In the
following there is another example with nested groups where the quantifier for
the outer group even prevents the inner groups to match:
re.search('(a(b*)a)', 'caabbaat').groups()
('aa', '')
re.search('(a(b+)a)', 'caabbaat').groups()
('abba', 'bb')
re.search('(a(b*)a){0,1}', 'caabbaat').groups()
(None, None)
re.search('(a(b+)a){0,1}', 'caabbaat').groups()
(None, None)
It would be great if you could manage to fix this.
Thank you in advance.
Regards
Hendrik Lemelson

[issue17257] re module shows unexpected non-greedy behavior when using groups
Tim Peters added the comment:
This is how it's supposed to work: Python's re matches at the leftmost
position possible, and _then_ matches the longest possible substring at that
position. When a regexp _can_ match 0 characters, it will match starting at
index 0. So, e.g.,
re.search('(a*)', 'ct').span()
(0, 0)
shows that the regexp matches the empty slice 'ct'[0:0] (the leftmost
position at which it _can_ match), and
re.search('(a(b+)a){0,1}', 'caabbaat').span()
(0, 0)
shows the same. The groups didn't match anything in this case, because the
outer {0,1} said it's OK if you can't match anything. Put another group
around it:
re.search('((a(b+)a){0,1})', 'caabbaat').groups()
('', None, None)
to see that the regexp as a whole did match the empty string.

[issue16893] Create IDLE help.txt from Doc/library/idle.rst
Zachary Ware added the comment: Here's a new version of the patch, with the fixes that Ned pointed out. I also tried to address concerns about lost information; menu divisions have been added to Doc/library/idle.rst, along with the blurb about running without a subprocess being deprecated. Also, every instance of :kbd:`C-x` has been expanded to :kbd:`Control-x`, as that's how help.txt has commands written. A rather unrelated change that I snuck in while I was editing idle.rst was to move the index markers for Class browser and Path browser to be above those entries rather than below. The generated help.txt is significantly longer than the old version but I don't think that's all bad. Most of the extra lines are new whitespace or things that had been a single line being broken up into two. I personally thought the old help.txt was rather too dense in some places, though I might agree that the generated version is a bit sparse in others. The paragraph about environment variables does have a rather unfortunate number of backticks, but I don't think it's unreadable. It's also information that wasn't present in the original help.txt.

[issue17258] multiprocessing.connection challenge implicitly uses MD5
New submission from Dave Malcolm: Within multiprocessing.connection, deliver_challenge() and answer_challenge() use hmac for a challenge/response. hmac implicitly defaults to using MD5. MD5 should no longer be used for security purposes. See e.g. http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/836068 This fails in a FIPS-compliant environment (e.g. with the patches I apply to hashlib in issue 9216). There's thus a possibility of an attacker defeating the multiprocessing authenticator. I'm attaching a patch which changes multiprocessing to use a clearly identified algorithm (for the day when it needs changing again), hardcoding it as sha256; presumably all processes within a multiprocess program that share authkey can share the algorithm. It's not clear to me whether hmac.py should also be changed (this would seem to have tougher backwards-compat concerns).

[issue6975] symlinks incorrectly resolved on POSIX platforms
Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Use os.path.sep and os.path.sep.encode() instead of hardcoding / and b/. Some separators will be '\\' (if they are derived from OS functions, i.e. getcwd), and some will be '/' (if they are generated by posixpath). I do not have the ability to research where there are any.

[issue17258] multiprocessing.connection challenge implicitly uses MD5
Christian Heimes added the comment: The statement MD5 should no longer be used for security purposes is not entirely correct. MD5 should no longer be used as cryptographic hash function for signatures. However HMAC-MD5 is a different story. From https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6151 The attacks on HMAC-MD5 do not seem to indicate a practical vulnerability when used as a message authentication code. [...] Therefore, it may not be urgent to remove HMAC-MD5 from the existing protocols. However, since MD5 must not be used for digital signatures, for a new protocol design, a ciphersuite with HMAC-MD5 should not be included. I agree that we should slowly migrate to a more modern MAC such as HMAC-SHA256. AES-CBC is too hard to get right and most AES implementation are vulnerable to timing attacks, too. How about we include the name of the MAC in multiprocessing's wire protocol and define no MAC name given as HMAC-MD5? Please don't call it SHA256 but HMAC-SHA256, too. -- nosy: +christian.heimes ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17258 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue17258] multiprocessing.connection challenge implicitly uses MD5
Richard Oudkerk added the comment: Banning md5 as a matter of policy may be perfectly sensible. However, I think the way multiprocessing uses hmac authentication is *not* affected by the collision attacks the advisory talks about. These depend on the attacker being able to determine for himself whether a particular candidate string is a solution. But with the way multiprocessing uses hmac authentication there is no way for the attacker to check for himself whether a candidate string has the desired hash: he does not know what the desired hash value is, or even what the hash function is. (The effective hash function, though built on top of md5, depends on the secret key.) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17258 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue17259] locale.format() rounding is not reliable for floats
New submission from Francis Nimick:
Locale.format() doesn't work correctly with floating point numbers.
locale.format('%.0f', 5.5) - 6
locale.format('%.0f', 6.5) - 6
locale.format('%.0f', 7.5) - 8
locale.format('%.0f', 8.5) - 8
It seems that if the number before the decimal point is even, it rounds down,
else it rounds up.

[issue17259] locale.format() rounding is not reliable for floats
R. David Murray added the comment: Perhaps Serhiy meant to direct your attention to the note in the round docs. Floating point is tricky. In Python3 the round is actually half to even. I'm not sure what the rounding algorithm is for %f, but I have a suspicion it might be half to even. I suppose that it ought to be documented. Note that this applies equally to regular string formatting, it's not something special about the locale module. -- assignee: - docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python, eric.smith, mark.dickinson, r.david.murray versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17259 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue17260] Seg fault when calling unicode() on old style class in virtualenv
New submission from Johannes: Running the code attached causes a segmentation fault. This only occurs when run from within a virtual environment, and when the class is an old style class. I've tested on OSX with both 2.7.3 installed via Homebrew, and the default 2.7.2 Python installation. Also got the same result testing with 2.7.3 on linux ([GCC 4.4.5] on linux2) I've verified that exactly the same Python installation is being used inside and outside of the virtual env. Running the same code under 2.5 and 2.6 results in no seg fault. -- components: Unicode files: unicode-bug.py messages: 182562 nosy: ezio.melotti, johtso priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Seg fault when calling unicode() on old style class in virtualenv type: crash versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29136/unicode-bug.py ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue17260 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
