Through-out Python (not just for lists and tuples), internal routines assume that identity implies equality. All your example shows is that the oddball NaN is in-fact odd. IMO, the result weird, but correct. The x!=y result is correct because that is a property of NaNs and the [x]==[y] result is correct because the two lists have identical content. You would get the expected result when the content is not identical: >>> inf=1e >>> x = inf/inf >>> y = inf/inf >>> x != y True >>> [x] == [y] I do not want the rest of Python mucked-up just because NaNs are designed to not follow the most basic definitions of equality (i.e. a relation is an equality relative if and only if it is reflexsive, symmetric, and transitive).

Lemburg (lemburg) Date: 2006-08-21 13:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=38388 Could we please get some things straight first: 1. if you're working with IDLE and it doesn't do what you expect it to, please file an IDLE bug report, not a Python one; the same it true for any other Python IDE you are using 2. string's .lower() and .upper() method rely 100% on the platform's C lib implementation of these functions; there's nothing Python can do about bugs in these implementations 3. if you want reproducable behavior across platforms, please always use Unicode, *not* 8-bit strings, for text data. I see that #1 has already been done, so the IDLE specific discussion should continue there. #2 is the cause of the problem, then all we can do is point you to #3. If #3 fails for some reason, then we should investigate this. However, be aware that the Unicode database has a fixed set of case mappings and we currently don't support extended case mapping which is locale and context sensitive. Again, patches are welcome. Please provide your examples using the repr() of the string or Unicode objects in question. This makes it a lot easier to test your examples on other platforms.

Category: IDLE Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 6 Submitted By: David Strozzi (dstrozzi) Assigned to: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Summary: idle in python 2.5c1 freezes on macos 10.3.9 Initial Comment: Hi, I installed python 2.5b3 on a powerbook ppc laptop running macos 10.3.9 a few days ago. python and idle worked. Now I installed 2.5c1. python works fine from a terminal. When I start idle, it loads, puts up its menu bar, opens a shell window, displays usual startup info, and gives me a prompt. But, I can't type or get a cursor. Whenever I move the mouse over the idle window or menu bar, I get a spinning color wheel and can't do anything. I deleted the whole /library/python tree, reinstalled 2.5c1, and exactly the same thing happened. Oh, and I rebooted :) Not sure what is happening, or how to diagnose. -- >Comment By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Date: 2006-08-28 18:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=580910 I've created a new installer from the head of the release25-maint branch and that works correctly. I'm keeping this issue open because I want to investigate why 2.5c1 doesn't work while the current head of the 2.5 branch does work. -- Comment By: David Strozzi (dstrozzi) Date: 2006-08-28 17:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1056922 Well, if there's anything I can do as a 10.3.9 user to test this, let me know. Too busy to delve into the python source code though... -- Comment By: Ronald Oussoren (ronaldoussoren) Date: 2006-08-28 17:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=580910 I can reproduce this on 10.3.9: IDLE starts and opens the interactive window, but then completely blocks (spinning cursor). If I start IDLE from the commandline (/Applications/MacPython\ 2.5/ IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS/IDLE) I get a message about 'console' not being a valid command name. That requires further looking into, but is a red herring for this particular problem, removing the Tk-console hiding code in macosxSupport.py results in the same behaviour, without any further output on the console as well. Upgrading aquatk to the latest version (8.4.10.0) on tcltkaqua.sf.net didn't help, IDLE still hangs (Duh, that's because there's a /System/Library/ Frameworks/Tk.framework, which means a user install won't be used for IDLE). The problem is also unrelated to my IDLE.app work, the same problem occurs when starting $prefix/lib/python2.5/idlelib/idle.py. According to gdb the IDLE process is handing in a semaphore call inside the Tcl mainloop. Time to get into serious debugging mode I guess :-( BTW. IDLE does work correctly on a 10.4.7 system. -- Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2006-08-28 15:59 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 Maybe priority should be higher? Hopefully Ronald has time to look at this; I don't have access to a Mac. -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1542949&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Category: Extension Modules Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Marien Zwart (marienz) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: curses module segfaults on invalid tparm arguments Initial Comment: At least on my platform the ncurses "tparm" function returns NULL on certain invalid arguments. PyCurses_tparm does not check the return value, it just passes it to PyString_FromString. This means: python -c "import curses;curses.setupterm();print curses.tparm('', curses.COLOR_GREEN)" gives me: zsh: segmentation fault python -c (tested with python 2.4.3) I am not sure what the best fix is. An exception would make sense to me, but the (related) tigetstr function returns None to python if the wrapped c function returns NULL, and I have not used the curses module enough to know what is more common. -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1548092&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Feature Request Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: kovan (kovan) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Add 'find' method to sequence types Initial Comment: In the benefit of Python's readability and simplicity, a 'find' method could be added to sequence types, that would return the first item in the list that matches some criteria. For example, it's a common practice to use lists of (key,value) pairs instead of dictionaries when the sequence must be ordered. To find an element maching a key in such cases, I frequently find myself writing (IMHO) too much code for such a straightforward operation. AFAIK currently there are two easy ways to do this (shouln't be one, and only one?): for item in items: if item.attribute == key: foundItem = item break else: foundItem = None OR foundItems = [item for item in items if item.key == value] if foundItems: foundItem = foundItem[0] IMO, in none of the cases the code is as clear and, specially, as short, as it should be. With the find method, the same code would be: item = items.find(lambda x: x.key == value) -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1548178&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
