[issue19030] inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs mishandle descriptors

2014-02-25 Thread R. David Murray

R. David Murray added the comment:

I added docs for DynamicClassAttribute by copying the docstring.  I think the 
doc entry could use some expansion, though, as it isn't obvious how to use it 
(or what, in fact, it does exactly).

I tested on Debian, and the remaining tests seem to work (I did not bother to
figure out why though).  Let's just skip all tests if they fail for you.

Ethan Furman added the comment:

Actually, you @skipif clued me in as to what was happening with the other pydoc 
tests and their skipif clauses.

Added appropriate skipifs to the new tests and mimicked the docstring 
in/exclusion.  All tests now passing with and without docstrings, with and 
without -OO (simply skipped with -OO).

I took the freedom to push a fix for the test_pydoc failures (all the buildbots 
were red). It should fix the failures, but since I'm not familiar with the

Antoine, could we make that option official on my build slave? Currently
I'm subverting the build system by exporting an environment variable.

It does not seem to be a heavy maintenance burden: This is the first

Ethan Furman added the comment:

Thanks, Charles-François!

The problem occurred when I tried to push the commit and was told there was 
trailing white-space.  Naturally I then ran the de-whitespacing tool which of 
course removed the whitespace from those lines where you added the \x20s back 
on.  I'll remember to do those conversions next time, and thanks for fixing it 
-- I'm not sure I would have found it any time soon.

Ethan Furman added the comment:

Updated and renamed the DynamicClassAttribute tests, and discovered that 
classify_class_attrs is not handling instance portion correctly.

class Meta(type):
def __getattr__(self, name):
if name == 'ham':
return 'spam'
return super().__getattr__(name)

class VA(metaclass=Meta):
@types.DynamicClassAttribute
def ham(self):
return 'eggs'

We should see both eggs and spam, but only eggs is showing up.

[issue19030] inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs mishandle descriptors

2013-09-22 Thread Ethan Furman

Ethan Furman added the comment:

Current patch has a little more code cleanup and a bunch more tests.

I copied and adapted test_property to test_VirtualAttribute, and 
VirtualAttribute passes every test except the __slots__ test where __doc__ is 
not supposed to copy.  I think the problem there is that VA is a python object 
and already has a __doc__ so having __slots__ not show __doc__ doesn't help.  I 
put a skipIf(hasattr, obj, '__doc__') around that test.

I'm still not crazy about the name VirtualAttribute... oh well.

If no negative feedback by mid-week I'll commit, as I would really like this 
code to be the next alpha.

[issue19030] inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs mishandle descriptors

2013-09-18 Thread Ethan Furman

Ethan Furman added the comment:

Okay, some slight reorganizing.  Current patch gives preferential treatment to 
getattr, falling back on dict lookup if getattr raises an exception or if the 
resulting object's class is not found in the mro (including the metaclass mro).

Amazingly, nothing appeared to break in the test suite.  :)

If no kibitzing in the next couple days I'll write some tests to better 
excercise the metaclass portion (I used Enum for interactive testing).

[issue19030] inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs mishandle descriptors

2013-09-16 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

types is the OO equivalent to functools these days, in addition to its original 
role of exposing the internal type objects that aren't builtins.

However, it seems to me that the fix for issue 1785 is simply *wrong*: it 
eliminated the exceptions at the expense of sometimes returning the *wrong 
answer*. The change in that issue means the inspect module isn't implementing 
the descriptor protocol correctly, and thus may provide a raw descriptor object 
when attempting to retrieve that attribute will return something else.

Instead of the current behaviour, the inspect module should be trying getattr 
*first*, and only falling back to peeking in the __dict__ directly if that 
throws an exception.

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

 However, it seems to me that the fix for issue 1785 is simply *wrong*: it 
 eliminated the exceptions at the expense of sometimes returning the *wrong 
 answer*.

The underlying problem is that those functions are not very well-specified 
(actually, classify_class_attrs() is not specified at all: it's undocumented).  
The main consumer of inspect in the stdlib is pydoc, and pydoc being broken by 
third-party libraries with non-trivial descriptors was a major nuisance.

[issue19030] inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs mishandle descriptors

2013-09-16 Thread Nick Coghlan

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Right, we definitely want inspect to swallow the exceptions from
descriptors. My suggestion is merely to switch the order to be:
1. Try getattr
2. If that throws an exception, check __dict__ directly
3. If neither works (e.g. due to a buggy __dir__ method), ignore the
attribute entirely.

The problem at the moment is *working* descriptors that are designed to
fall back on the metaclass lookup are being mishandled.

Are you talking about descriptors defined on the class or the metaclass? :-)

[issue19030] inspect.getmembers and inspect.classify_class_attrs mishandle descriptors

2013-09-16 Thread Ethan Furman

Ethan Furman added the comment:

Switching the order to try getattr first is going to make getting the doc from 
the descriptor problematic -- we have no way of knowing if the descriptor doc 
goes with the object we got back from getattr.

Current patch adds VirtualAttribute to types, and reworks 
inspect.classify_class_attrs, inspect.getmembers, and Enum to use that instead 
of _RouteClassAttributeToGetattr (which has been removed).

Tests are still needed for the new VirtualAttribute.

Not sure VirtualAttribute is the best name; other ideas:

  - InstanceProperty
  - AttributeProperty
  - HiddenClassProperty

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

The current behaviour is broken for *any* descriptor which doesn't
return itself when retrieved from the class. It just so happens that
all the *other* descriptors in the standard library work that way, so
it doesn't matter if you retrieve them directly from __dict__ or
retrieve them with getattr - you'll get the descriptor object either
way.

So we should be calling getattr first, and always taking __doc__ (if
any) from the returned object.
