cmp and sorting non-symmetric types

[issue1328] feature request: force BOM option

Adam Olsen added the comment: The problem with being tolerate as you suggest is you lose the ability to round-trip. Read in a file using the UTF-8 signature, write it back out, and suddenly nothing else can open it. Conceptually, these signatures shouldn't even be part of the encoding; they're

[issue1237] type_new doesn't allocate space for sentinal slot

Adam Olsen added the comment: typeobject.c:1842:type_new type = (PyTypeObject *)metatype-tp_alloc(metatype, nslots); nslots may be 0. typeobject.c:1966:type_new assigns this just-past-the-end address to tp_members type-tp_members = PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS(et); type_new later

[issue1237] type_new doesn't allocate space for sentinal slot

New submission from Adam Olsen: type_new() allocates the exact number of slots it's going to use, but various other functions assume there's one more slot with a NULL name field serving as a sentinel. I'm unsure why it doesn't normally crash. -- components: Interpreter Core messages

[issue1098] decode_unicode doesn't nul-terminate

New submission from Adam Olsen: In the large else branch in decode_unicode (if encoding is not NULL or iso-8859-1), the new string it produces is not nul-terminated. This then hits PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscape's octal escape case, which reads past the end of the string (but would stop

Is LOAD_GLOBAL really that slow?

that shows a really significant slowdown vs local variables? -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Thread-safety of dict

paranoid you could add reference counting to ma_table. I doubt anybody cares quite that much though. ;) -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thread-safety of dict

using a dict with custom classes (or anything other than str) across multiple threads, and without locking it, it's possible (though presumably extremely rare) for a lookup to fail even through the key was there the entire time. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman

Re: Documentation suggestions

for everybody and it'll be worth maintaining. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Documentation suggestions

attention to get the effort it requires. I agree absolutely that the material it contains is important. That's why I feel it should be merged with the other documents, to ensure that it really does get maintained. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
