[issue32352] `inspect.getfullargspec` doesn't work fine for some builtin callable objects

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter  added the comment:

This was documented for the “getfullargspec” function in Issue 7422 (long 
before “signature” existed). The error message was also clarified in Issue 
6905. However IMO the term “Python function” is too subtle and ambiguous.

So if you were to choose between two potential hires, one who had 25
years' experience and the other had nothing but college, which would
you choose? Are you worth virtually the same salary now as you were
worth straight out of college?

Hmm, is that true? I was under the impression that the quoting rules
were impossible to match with a regex. Or maybe it's just that they're
impossible to match with a *standard* regex, but the extended
implementations (including Python's, possibly) are able to match them?

Anyhow, it is FAR from simple; and also, for the purpose of "detect
email addresses in text documents", not desirable. Same as with URL
detection - it's better to have a handful of weird cases that don't
autolink correctly than to mis-detect any address that's at the end of
a sentence, for instance. For that purpose, it's better to ignore the
RFC and just craft a regex that matches *common* email address
formats.

Let's see. What I have learned on the job is projects and processes
(even though college tried to give a taste of those, as well). Then, I
have gathered some encyclopedic knowledge about programming languages,
libraries, frameworks and operating systems. Finally, I have developed
routine.

But true eye-openers took place in college: data structures, algorithms,
complexity theory, parsing and compiling, recursion, object-oriented
programming, logic programming, functional programming, distributed
systems, cryptography, logic and formalisms, mathematical rigor etc.

That's not actually true (the thing that notoriously can't be matched in
a regex, RFC822 "address", is basically most of the syntax of the To:
header - the part that is *the address* as we speak of it normally is
"addr-spec" and is in fact a regular language, though a regex to match
it goes on for a few hundred characters. The formal syntax also has some
surprising corners that might not reflect real-world implementations:
for example, a local-part may not begin or end with a dot or contain two
dots in a row (unless quoted - the suggestion someone else made that a
local-part may contain an @ sign also requires quoting). It's also
unfortunate that a domain-part may not end with the dot, since this
would provide a way to specify TLD- only addresses without allowing the
error of mistakenly leaving the TLD off of an address.

The recommendation still stands, of course - this script is probably not
the place to explore these obscure corners. If the email address is
important, you can send a link to it and wait for them to click it to
confirm the email. If it's not, don't bother at all.

[issue32357] Optimize asyncio.iscoroutine() for non-native coroutines

[Yury Selivanov]

New submission from Yury Selivanov :

asyncio.Task now uses asyncio.iscoroutine() to give a comprehensible error if a 
user creates a Task for a non-awaitable type.

The problem is that iscoroutine() is quite expensive for non-native coroutines 
(like the ones compiled with Cython), as it uses `isinstance(obj, 
collections.abc.Coroutine)` call.  This makes 
'loop.create_task(cython_coroutine)' 20% slower than 
'loop.create_task(python_coroutine)'.

The PR adds a positive type cache to the iscoroutine() function and to the 
asyncio.Task C implementation.  Both caches make 'loop.create_task()' equally 
fast for all kinds of coroutines.

[issue32204] async/await performance is very low

[Yury Selivanov]

Yury Selivanov  added the comment:

NP.  I have another PR in the pipeline: 
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/4913

Both optimizations make your benchmark run 30% faster on 3.7.  If you compile 
asyncio.gather() with Cython you will get it another 5-15% faster.  If you use 
uvloop - another 10-20%.

If it's still slower than asynq, then the issue must be in how asynq schedules 
its callbacks, it might be more optimal for some specific use cases than 
asyncio.

FWIW I don't expect asynq to be any faster than asyncio (or than uvloop) for 
network IO.  And there's definitely no problem with async/await performance -- 
we're optimizing asyncio here, not the interpreter.

That's fine. For your course, you set the prereqs. But that's not the
only way for someone to get into coding. You do NOT have to go to
college before you start creating software. That is also not an
opinion; it's a fact backed by a number of proven instances (myself
included).


You might benefit by a course in logic.  I never said that was the only way
to learn. I learned (BASIC) in 8th grade too.


You said earlier:


In my years of teaching experience, students who came to college without
the equivalent of "college algebra" were under-prepared for what was
expected of them. This is not just an opinion, it's a fact.

If you want to qualify that by saying that coming to college is not
the only way to learn programming, you'd better say so, because
otherwise, the tone of what you're saying says that students NEED
algebra prior to learning a programming language.


I tried pretty hard not to say that. I said they needed some 
"mathematical sophistication"--not actual mathematics.  My error was 
using that expression among an audience not so familiar with that

[issue32355] Optimize asyncio.gather()

[Yury Selivanov]

New submission from Yury Selivanov :

asyncio.gather can be made faster if:

1. we don't use functools.partial
2. create less intermittent collections
3. drop unnecessary code (e.g. gather has some code that's duplicated in 
ensure_future that it uses etc)

The proposed PR makes asyncio.gather 10-15% faster on the attached benchmark.

[issue32354] Unclear intention of deprecating Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER / Py_UNICODE_TOUPPER

[Campbell Barton]

New submission from Campbell Barton :

Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER / Py_UNICODE_TOUPPER are marked as deprecated in the docs.

https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/unicode.html?highlight=py_unicode_tolower#c.Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER

Someone submitted a patch to our project which uses these.

What is unclear, is if there is an intention to replace these (wrappers for 
'_PyUnicode_ToLowerFull' for eg).

Or if this will be removed without any alternative.

I assume the functionality will be kept somewhere since Python needs 
str.lower/upper.

Will there be a way to perform this in the future? Either way, could docs be 
updated to reflect this?

If you want to qualify that by saying that coming to college is not
the only way to learn programming, you'd better say so, because
otherwise, the tone of what you're saying says that students NEED
algebra prior to learning a programming language.

Logic isn't the problem here. Clarity of language is. Watch your
implications if you don't want to be misunderstood.

[issue15873] datetime: add ability to parse RFC 3339 dates and times

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter  added the comment:

Regarding Matthieu’s RFC 3339 parser, Victor wanted to use the 
round-half-to-even rule to get a whole number of microseconds. But considering 
the “time” class cannot represent 24:00, how do you round up in the extreme 
case past 23:59?

time.fromisoformat("23:59:59.995")

Perhaps it is better to always truncate to zero, only support 6 digits 
(rejecting fractions of a microsecond), or add Anders’s 
truncate_microseconds=True option.

This could be simply because it weeds out people who aren't

I think that's absolutely true.  If someone gets out of high school and 
doesn't understand college algebra (~8th grade math), they come into a 
programming class with an inherent disadvantage. They "can't understand" 
the book, just like they "couldn't" understand their math book.





If that's true,
anything that exercises mathematical thinking should have
the same effect. There just doesn't happen to be anything
else in the mainstream education curriculum that does that.

You might benefit by a course in logic.  I never said that was the only

I started coding when I was 16, in 1975. I wrote a downhill skiing

Interesting. I'm not surprised that you can learn more in college than
in the years *prior* to it (if you were just dabbling), but I would
have expected that you learn more actually on the job. Are you
seriously saying that you've been 25 years in the workforce and not
learned anything new?

I thought I had programming covered when I entered college. I wondered
if I'd be wasting my time and just collecting my diploma. However, after
every year I realized I hadn't understood anything the year before.
There was just such a wealth of understanding I never would have been
able to come up with on my own.

Then I graduated and joined the workforce. Since then, I have learned a
thing or two, but I learned more during my first year in college than I
have during the 25 since I left.

What's more, everything I learned in college has been priceless in
practical day-to-day work.

It might be.

Python does not perform the SSL handling itself but delegates it to
an external SSL library ("OpenSSL" on a *nix like platform).
SSL can use different protocols, e.g. for the encryption.
The error message might mean that the server side uses a protocol
which is not supported by the client side. In this case, you would need
to use a more up-to-date SSL library.

One thing that's wrong with it is that it is far too restrictive.

> email_regex = re.compile('[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)')

This excludes a great many email addresses that are valid. Please don't
try to restrict a match for email addresses that will exclude actual
email addresses.

For an authoritative guide to matching email addresses, see RFC 3696 §3
.

A more correct match would boil down to:

* Match any printable Unicode characters (not just ASCII).

* Locate the *last* ‘@’ character. (An email address may contain more
  than one ‘@’ character; you should allow any printable ASCII character
  in the local part.)

* Match the domain part as the text after the last ‘@’ character. Match
  the local part as anything before that character. Reject an address
  that has either of these empty.

* Validate the domain by DNS request. Your program is not an authority
  for what domains are valid; the only authority for that is the DNS.

* Don't validate the local part at all. Your program is not an authority
  for what local parts are accepted to the destination host; the only
  authority for that is the destination mail host.

[issue32353] Add docs about Embedding with an frozen module limitation.

[Decorater]

New submission from Decorater :

It seems that 1 thing that bites me is that there is no section on the 
embedding docs about limitations to using frozen modules in them.

So lets say for example your program has this like in the main function on an 
embedded python:

```c
  PyRun_SimpleString("import mymodule");
```

And lets say ``mymodule`` is supposed to be an frozen module in that embedded 
interpreter named ``myprogram``

It would fail to work because it wont be able to find ``mymodule`` when it 
really should. This doc change should help fix that senerio and hopefully 
suggest an fix to that senerio as well.

[issue32259] Misleading "not iterable" Error Message when generator return a "simple" type, and a tuple is expected

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Thanks, Serhiy, for the C implementation, and Eric for reviewing it.  I would 
add 'non-iterable', to get "cannot unpack non-iterable int object", to tell 
people what is needed instead.  I do think this worthwhile.

The point is that it takes a certain amount of what is referred to as 
"mathematical maturity" (not mathematical knowledge) to digest a book 
concerning computer programming. In my years of teaching experience, 
students who came to college without the equivalent of "college algebra" 
were under-prepared for what was expected of them. This is not just an 
opinion, it's a fact. Of course, you could argue that a student who 
arrives at college needing to take college algebra is of a certain 
category. In your words, they are not yet ready to face any sort of 
(steep) learning curve.

[issue32248] Port importlib_resources (module and ABC) to Python 3.7

[Barry A. Warsaw]

Barry A. Warsaw  added the comment:

I have the tests and code ported, but there are still a few things to do, but 
here's a question:

We're using type annotations in importlib_resources, which of course is the 
right decision.  But I think we still have a moratorium on typing in the 
stdlib.  So do we want to remove the types from importlib.resources?

Doing so could make for more work as we continue to track importlib_resource, 
so I'm inclined not to remove them.

[issue32349] Add detailed return value information for set.intersection function

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

To clarify, are you referring to this behaviour?

>>> a = {1, 2, 3}
>>> b = {1.0, 4.0}
>>> a.intersection(b)  # expect {1}
{1.0}

I'd personally expect this to be implementation-dependent: since for set 
operations you usually only care about objects up to equality, it would be a 
bit unusual to care whether you get {1} or {1.0} in the above situation, and 
I'd say the implementation should be free to do whatever's convenient. Making 
documented guarantees would unnecessarily constrain other implementations.

I suppose one could document the *lack* of a guarantee here ...

There are two problems: you have a group at the end to match .something,

re.findall will only return the matched groups, so you need to change 
your final group to be a non-capturing group, with (?:...)

What is the goal of your email address extraction? There are two
goals, one of which cannot be done perfectly but doesn't need to, and
the other cannot be done perfectly and is thus virtually useless. If
you want to detect email addresses in text and turn them into mailto:
links, it's okay to miss out some edge cases, and for that, I would
recommend keeping your regex REALLY simple - something like you have
above, but maybe even simpler. (And I wouldn't have the parentheses in
there, which I think might be what you're getting tripped up on.) But
if you're trying to *validate* an email address - for instance, if you
receive a form submission and want to know if there was an email
address included - then my recommendation is simply DON'T. You can't
get all the edge cases right; it is actually impossible for a regex to
perfectly match every valid email address and no invalid addresses.
And that's only counting *syntactically* valid - it doesn't take into
account the fact that "b...@junk.example.com" is not going to get
anywhere. So if you're trying to do validation, basically just don't.

This is a useful 3-way classification
Just now dealing with a class in which students write python resolutely 
- using gedit
- on linux VMs
- on Windows hosts

So I wonder where on the spectrum
MS Word → notepad → Programmer’s editor
would you place gedit??

[issue32350] pip can't handle MSVC warnings containing special characters

[Paul Moore]

Paul Moore  added the comment:

This is a pip issue, not a Python issue. It's a known issue in the current 
version of pip, and should be fixed in the development version (via pull 
request https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/4486).

If you like, you can try the development version of pip. At the moment there is 
no planned date for the next release of pip, but we're hoping to put together a 
release in the not too distant future.

 return s.decode(sys.__stdout__.encoding)
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 51: 
invalid start byte

As a workaround I've changed the original line 73 in \pip\compat\__init__.py :

return s.decode(sys.__stdout__.encoding)

to:

return s.decode(sys.__stdout__.encoding, "replace")

(thanks to dieter on comp.lang.python for his help). I don't have the knowledge 
to propose a patch.

you seem to be moving more into knowledge about the operating system 
rather than programming itself.

Still a good pre-requisite you cannot hope to successfully program a 
system you do no know how to use

Try 

class MyHelpFormatter(
argparse.RawDescriptionHelpFormatter,
argparse.ArgumentDefaultsHelpFormatter
):
pass

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(formatter_class=MyHelpFormatter)

If there are any conflicts you have to write more code...

Re: Python Templating Language

[Brian J. Oney via Python-list]

I am not exactly sure what you mean, so I will guess. 

Jinja may be what you're looking for. It's an important component of flask & 
ansible, for example.

pyweave may also serve your purposes.
