The workaround mentioned in 105470 does not help. Running x.vbs gives me 0. Doing regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\scrrun.dll makes no difference. -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1199947&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[ python-Bugs-1198275 ] time module ignores timezone changes

Using reload(time) does not fix the problem. Are there any workarounds? -- >Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2005-05-11 13:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 OK, fixed the version and reopened this. No, you don't need to poll, just call time.tzset() before you call time.localtime() or anything else that relies on the timezone. It isn't that expensive of a call. Post here if that fixes it or not. And in terms of inelegance, the only other solution is to implicitly call time.tzset() internally for all time functions. This is an issue imposed by the ISO C libraries. -- Comment By: David Lambert (jdalambert) Date: 2005-05-10 19:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=845425 Ouch! I don't know how I got 2.2.3 on the bug report? My version of Python is 2.3.4. Sorry for the confusion.:-( Let me explain further. The problem is that I have a Python script that is run as a daemon and uses localtime(). If another program (outside of my control) changes the timezone, the my daemon gets the local time according to the original timezone. Do I have to periodically poll to see if the timezone has changed? That seems somewhat inelegant. -- Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2005-05-10 16:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 Wait, I just noticed after I sent my follow-up that this bug report is against Python 2.2.3 . You won't find time.tzset() that far back. The issue is that you need to use time.tzset() to reset the timezone for the C library functions to use any change you have made since they cache information internally. I am closing this as "won't fix" since it has been resolved in later versions and 2.2 is too old to bother backporting for. -- Comment By: Brett Cannon (bcannon) Date: 2005-05-10 16:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=357491 David, how did you change the timezone? And did you call time.tzset()? If you didn't call time.tzset(), that's the problem. If you did, then there is a bug. -- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2005-05-09 20:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Brett, are you still in the time business? -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1198275&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Its a C code build in python so does not leave much traces to describe problem more. Important Notes: Release name: 2.4.1(final) Platform: Solaris 2.8 Error: "SystemError: error return without exception set" -- >Comment By: Terry J. Reedy (tjreedy) Date: 2005-05-11 19:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=593130 When people mix their own C code with CPython and get a SystemError like this, the probability that the error is in the added code and not the core code is perhaps greater than .95. Please consider closing this report as invalid unless and until you have evidence that the problem is indeed in the core code. To get help reviewing your added code, you can post to comp.lang.python, the general Python mailing list (python.org), or gmane.comp.python.general (gmane.org). To me, the Python error message seems meaningful enough. It seems to claim that you made an error return without setting an exception according to the rules of the C API. -- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-05-10 09:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Are you writing your own C code? If so, why do you suspect a bug in Python itself? (Also, a debug build of python can be useful for this sort of thing). -- Comment By: Niraj Bajpai (nbajpai) Date: 2005-05-10 09:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1165734 Actually the same error happens in both 2.4 and 2.4.1. I call in python code to receive events from C code embedded in python interpreter. There are two meaningful events and idle event. I commented idle event in the code (C-code) and start seeing this error. from python code: x.receive(A) << Error happens here where A can be , receive "X" or receive "Y" or receive "NOTHING" In C code when I comment "NOTHING" event generator, I get the error. Some meaningful exception in python would have been better. -- Comment By: Michael Hudson (mwh) Date: 2005-05-06 07:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Uh, there's not a lot to go on here.

It would error out without an error code, immediately after package selection and before "thinking...". Not sure if this also applies to network mapped drives.
