Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: John Ehresman (jpe) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Different behavior when stepping through code w/ pdb Initial Comment: The attached test case will raise a NameError when executed in pdb by stepping though the code. The issue is the EnumType name, which is both a local variable in the Enum function which is used in the lambda and the name of an attribute on the EnumValue class. Since it is a local variable used in a lambda, it's a freevar. What apparently happens is on line 5 the property() result is stored in frame->f_locals['EnumType'] but it is deleted the next time FastToLocals is invoked prior to calling back into the debugger. This happens when the freevars values are merged into the locals dictionary. The example is a stripped down version of code in turbogears. -- >Comment By: John Ehresman (jpe) Date: 2006-10-30 16:15 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=22785 I'm a bit confused -- http://python.org/sf/1583276 seems to resolve to this bug. -- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-10-27 06:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 This seems to be a duplicate of http://python.org/sf/1583276 . -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1583276&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: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: applebucks (scott_marks) Assigned to: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Summary: sys.settrace cause curried parms to show up as attributes Initial Comment: The code below exhibits different behavior depending on whether it invokes sys.settrace ('-t' option) or not. This means that (in a more complicated case) debugging the code (which uses sys.settrace) makes it fail. Reported v 2.4, but the same behavior on 2.5. Any ideas? """ Demonstrace that tracing messes up curried class definitions """ # Some simple command line parsing: -t or --trace means trace, nothing means don't trace import sys def usage( ): print 'Usage:', sys.argv[ 0 ], '[-t | --trace]' sys.exit( 1 ) if 1 == len( sys.argv ): pass elif 2 == len( sys.argv ): if sys.argv[ 1 ]=='-t' or sys.argv[ 1 ]=='--trace': def trace ( frame, event, arg ): # print frame, event, arg return trace sys.settrace( trace ) else: usage( ) else: usage( ) # The test: define a class factory with a curried member function def the_factory( parm1 ): class the_class( object ): def curried( self ): return parm1 return the_class x = the_factory( 42 ) y = x( ) try: x.parm1 print "Failure: x (the manufactured class) has attribute parm1?!" except AttributeError: print "Success with the manufactured class!" try: y.parm1 print "Failure: y (the instance) has attribute parm1?!" except AttributeError: print "Success with the instance!" assert y.curried( ) == 42, "Currying didn't work?!" -- Comment By: John Ehresman (jpe) Date: 2006-10-30 16:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=22785 This could & probably should be fixed, at the cost of making the core debugger support more complicated. The current version of TurboGears has code that triggers the same bug. That said, I don't have a patch to fix the core... -- Comment By: applebucks (scott_marks) Date: 2006-10-08 23:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=120857 I didn't say Python is lame. I use Python heavily, apparently an uncommonly large subset of Python functionality at that, and largely love it. That's why the failure of semantic transparency caused by something apparently irrelevant (tracing, as opposed to some kind of deliberate stack frame munging) is disturbing. Not to mention it makes my debugging tough. :) More seriously, one of the users of the subsystem in which this bug shows us just (on Friday) lost a few hours chasing a real bug that should have been obvious but which was masked by this error as manifest by a bdb-based debugger. -- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2006-10-07 16:54 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 I'm not going to comment on the internals, because I don't know enough about them to make a positive comment, but it seems to me that your statement of: ..."just makes Python seem ... lame." is insulting to those who have helped to develop Python over the years. In my experience attempting to help, the surest way of not getting what you want is to insult those who have developed Python (nevermind that according to the lack of bugs on the topic, very few people want/need the functionality you expect). -- Comment By: applebucks (scott_marks) Date: 2006-10-04 02:32 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=120857 "Cannot be fixed" sounds pretty final, and also a little pessimistic. From your description, it seems that the correct functionality could be maintained at the cost of retention of the keys in "normal locals" and dissection back into "fast locals" and "normal locals" after the trace function does ... whatever it does. In particular, it seems unacceptable that the invariants of the semantics of class creation (on which introspection and other important functionality depends) is borked by debugging in such a way as to render quite misleading the process of debugging code that depends on those invariants. Not to mention that the workaround ("be sure to rename your class factory function parameters so that they don't collide with intended attributes of the created class") just makes Python seem ... lame. I hope for a more optimistic reply. --

Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Enoch Julias (enochjul) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tarfile.extract() may cause file fragmentation on Windows XP Initial Comment: When I use tarfile.extract() to extract all the files from a large tar archive with lots of files tends to cause file fragmentation in Windows. Apparently NTFS cluster allocation interacts badly with such operations if Windows is not aware of the size of each file. The solution is to use a combination of the Win32 APIs SetFilePointer() and SetEndOfFile() before writing to the target file. This helps Windows choose a contiguous free space for the file. I tried it on the 2.6 trunk by calling file.truncate() (which seems to implement the appropriate calls on Windows) to set the file size before writing to a file. It helps to avoid fragmentation for the extracted files on my Windows XP x64 system. Can this be added to tarfile to improve its performance on Windows? -- >Comment By: Enoch Julias (enochjul) Date: 2006-10-31 05:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=6071 I submitted patch #1587674 for this, though I am not sure if it is a good idea to use truncate() for such a purpose. -- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-10-29 08:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Can you try to come up with a patch? -- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1586414&group_id=5470 ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
