[issue4543] container constructors destroy argument

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

In Py3.0, the filter() builtin returns a consumable iterator, not a list.
It's a feature, not a bug ;-)
For the behavior you want, write:
   y = list(filter(odd, x))
Or better yet, use a list comprehension:
   y = [e for e in x if odd(e)]
See the Whatsnew section of the docs for further explanation.

[issue4534] problem with str.join - should work with list input, error says requires 'str' object

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

"str" is not your string, it's not a string; "str" is a class name, a
standard type.

"str.join" is a unbound method. You can call it directly if you pass an
actual string object in front of the other arguments.
But the normal way to call methods is to use them on objects:

someString = ""
someList = ['f', 'r', 'e', 'd', ' ', 'i', 's']
someString.join(someList)

[issue4541] Add str method for removing leading or trailing substrings

[David W. Lambert]

David W. Lambert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Opinion---"Batteries included" doesn't mean "a bewildering variety of 
functions".  Nor does it mean "my programming language has a checklist  
of features" such as I recall the spreadsheet and word processor wars of 
the (19)80's.  Python should indeed make it easy to express your 
algorithms.  It does this through readable syntax, by providing 
container objects of all sorts, with malleable classes.  It gives access 
to operating system and hardware.  Python stays current with softwares 
of the day.  But Python should remain small It's okay to write some 
code.

Must regular expression syntax keep pace with that of perl?  Probably, 
only because the expressions are directly cut and pasteable.  Otherwise, 
the re language has for me exceeded in complexity that which can be had 
more simply with a divide and conquer approach.

Is there a good reason to have the math module duplicate the 
functionality described in math.h?  No.  One needn't know the c language 
exists to program python.  (Historically it was a great and obvious 
first access to math functions in python.  We're years beyond that.  
Hence---generalize hypot.  It's brain dead trapped in 2D!)

Don't accept the challenge for a python vs. (for instance) ruby feature 
checklist.  Python should stick to the sensible.

[issue4544] textwrap: __all__ atribute missing 'dedent' functino

[Casey McGinty]

New submission from Casey McGinty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

>From textwrap.py: 46863 2006-06-11 19:42:51Z tim.peters

The __all__ define in this module is missing the helper function 'dedent'. 

This causes pydoc to not the list the function correctly.

Secondly, it also prevents 'dedent' from being imported when using 'from
textwrap import *'  (Yes, yes, I know this should never be done. Hence
why it is probably never noticed by anyone.)

[issue4540] typo in a module describes utf-8 as uft-8

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Amaury, I don't see where imp.find_module() tries to do a compile()
(which would trigger the SyntaxError). Is that really the full traceback ?

Regarding the strategy of pydoc to try to list all modules: I don't
think that's such a good idea. It's likely to take a long time to
compile such a list on a moderately used Python system and can have lots
of unwanted side effects via import hooks.

Instead, pydoc should just say that a module was not specified and be
done with it.

Yes, it is the full traceback.

The modules are not compiled nor imported. 
But to load the source code, importer.find_module() needs to open the

Sorry, I didn't see the attached PNG screenshot until now. Forget that
comment.

What I don't understand is that this works:

help> modules

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...
...

while this doesn't:

help> modules web

Here is a list of matching modules.  Enter any module name to get more help.

Traceback (most recent call last):
...

Shouldn't the first method also cause a traceback ?

[issue4506] 3.0 make test failures on Solaris 10

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

> I'm failry sure I can find a SPARC here to run it on as well.  They
> are rather few and far between though.

I don't think that's necessary.  Thanks for disabusing me of my 'Solaris
implies SPARC' mindset, though!

There are two more pieces of information that *would* be useful:

1. What happens if you build with the '-ffloat-store' option to gcc?
If my diagnosis is correct I'd expect the cmath tests to pass with this
flag.  (I'm not 100% sure how to make sure the '-ffloat-store' option
gets passed through into the Module builds, though
"BASECFLAGS='-ffloat-store' ./configure" seems to work for me.)

2. It looks as though the configure script isn't finding 'isinf' on
Solaris 10.  Any ideas why?  Is there some replacement for isinf that's
spelt differently?  I suspect that if we were using the system lib's
test for infinity instead of the Py_IS_INFINITY workaround then this
problem wouldn't have come up.

Mark

If "step = PyNumber_Index(step)" succeeds, 'step' is (a subclass of) an
int, and PyNumber_AsSsize_t cannot fail, not even on low memory
conditions, and large figures are clipped.

But if it were to fail (in some future implementation), the present code
would clear an eventual exception.
Maybe this part could be applied only to 3.1.

[issue4547] Long jumps with frame_setlineno

[fboule]

New submission from fboule <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

This concerns a known bug in the frame_setlineno() function for Python
2.5.x and 2.6.x (maybe in earlier/later version too). It is not possible
to use this function when the address or line offset in lnotab are
greater than 127. The problem comes from the lnotab variable which is
typed char*, i.e. "signed char*" implicitly. Any value above 127 becomes
a negative number.

The fix is very simple (applied on the Python 2.6.1 version of the
source code):

--- frameobject.c   Thu Oct 02 19:39:50 2008
+++ frameobject_fixed.c Fri Dec 05 11:27:42 2008
@@ -119,8 +119,8 @@
line = f->f_code->co_firstlineno;
new_lasti = -1;
for (offset = 0; offset < lnotab_len; offset += 2) {
-   addr += lnotab[offset];
-   line += lnotab[offset+1];
+   addr += ((unsigned char*)lnotab)[offset];
+   line += ((unsigned char*)lnotab)[offset+1];
if (line >= new_lineno) {

[issue4485] fast swap of "default" Windows python versions

[Mark Tolonen]

Mark Tolonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

An extension to this idea:  Support parsing #! lines in Windows and 
select the version of Python used.  python.exe could examine:

#!/usr/bin/python30

pattern match "python##", look in the registry to see if that version 
of python is installed, and launch that python.exe instead.

[issue4545] doctest seems to always fail on numpy.array2string

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Doctest output scrupulously follows the output of an interactive session
of python.

On my machine:

Python 2.4.4 (#71, Oct 18 2006, 08:34:43) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.array2string(numpy.arange(2))
'[0 1]'
>>>

The the interactive session does not simply print objects, it calls
repr() on them, so that you can make the distinction between the number
0 and the string "0".

You should add quotes to your doctest string, or use print:

>>> import numpy
>>> print numpy.array2string(numpy.arange(2))
[0 1]

[issue1814] Victor Stinner's GMP patch for longs

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

After many benchmarks, I realized that it's not a good idea to use GMP 
for the int (and long) integers because most integers are very small: 
less or equals than 32 bits (or 64 bits on a 64 bits CPU). GMP 
overhead is too big. See other propositions to optimize Python 
integers.

[issue4536] SystemError if invalid arguments passed to range() and step=-1

[Laszlo]

Laszlo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

It is changed from PyErr_Clear() to Py_CLEAR(step) because in case
someone else makes the same mistake of not checking for an error before
calling validate_step() we do not want to hide the error.

It is true that if used properly this part will not get executed, but if
there is another similar programming error like the patch fixes in
range_new() it will at least let the programmer see the right traceback
in the terminal.

I think it would have been better to have endheaders() (and then perhaps

that endheaders(body) is semantically equivalent to endheaders(); 
send(body).   The version you checked in makes it necessary that the

[issue4548] OptionParser : Weird comportement in args processing

[Olivier Hervieu]

New submission from Olivier Hervieu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi guys.. i found something strange on the behavior of OptionParser

If I have this sample code : 

import sys
from optparse import OptionParser

if __name__ == '__main__':
parser = OptionParser()
parser.add_option("-p", "--p", help="The P of python", default=None)
parser.add_option("-y", "--y", help="The Y of python", default=None)

(options,args) = parser.parse_args(sys.argv)
print options

and i execute :

myFile.py -p -y

the options.p will be -y and options.y will be None

worst.. if my user say :

myFile.py -p -y 'thon'

options.p will be -y and options.y will be None...

In all case I think that, if i do 

myFile.py -p -y 

options -p and options -y must be None

and if i want to put -y in options.p i say something like 

myFile.py -p "-y" so i can do after myFile.py -p "-y" -y "thon".

1) Please change the phrasing you quoted to

"... implicit special method lookup bypasses the __getattribute__()
method even of the object’s metaclass:"


2) Please insert into the glossary a definition of "implicit special
method lookup" that addresses the grammar or syntax that causes it
considering monad and dyad use.

[Georg Brandl]

This is not a bug.  By default, options in optparse take an argument --
therefore, the -y is taken as the argument to the -p option.

Use e.g. add_option(..., action='store_true') to specify an option that
doesn't take an argument.

[Chris AtLee]

Chris AtLee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

The attached patch implements this for python 2.7.  It also adds support
for iterable bodies in urllib2, where it is more generally useful. 
urllib2 enforces the presence of a Content-Length header in the request
if the body is an iterable, whereas httplib does not.

The patch also includes updates to docs and tests (which all pass as of
r67584 on my macbook)

For people who are following HOWTO guides verbatim, there are two types

2. Use of beloved but deprecated ``%`` format operator.

  self.extra_thing = ExtraThingClass()
  do_something_with(self.extra_thing, k, v)

Can this be closed as "won't fix", since there seems nothing to fix?
This issue of working with all protocols would seem dead by now, and for
protocol 2, it is a 'gotcha' that can be avoided with knowledge.

[issue4485] fast swap of "default" Windows python versions

[Glenn Linderman]

Glenn Linderman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Since Python hasn't done that until now, it won't help much with the
transition from 2to3.  The earliest versions that could add that would
be 3.1 and 2.7, it would seem, as it is a new fetaure.  Perhaps it would
be worth doing, in planning for Python 4...


Perl has done that for many versions.  The idea is useful for running
scripts that were designed and tested with a given version of Perl, on
that same version, to avoid the need to retest working, production,
code. Even when compatibility is supposed to be retained, and every
effort is made to do so in a maintenance release, sometimes little
things sneak in, that no one ever thought to test, and didn't to have
broken... so continuing to use the version with which a production
script was last extensively tested with, is "extra safe".

The technique you suggest isn't very good for testing a particular
script with various versions of python because you'd have to edit the
script to select the version.  It is good for being "extra safe" and
ensuring that a script continues to run with a particular version of the
interpreter.

I see this issue addressing the ability, in a testing environment, to
swap what version of implicit python is invoked for scripts invoked from
either the command line or from batch files, without the need to edit
the script or the batch file.  From the command line, it is relatively
easy just to invoke the right python via "c:\pythonNN\python script",
although that gets old if you are testing a large number of scripts.  So
I see it as primarily a convenience item for a testing environment.

Is there a reason why "formatter" is imported inside the method
rather than at module scope ?

Other than that the patch looks good.

Python 2.6 and 2.7 have the same problem:

(pydoc will look in all modules on sys.path, so chances are high
that users will run into similar problems)
