[issue9310] Intermittent failures in test_logging

[Vinay Sajip]

Vinay Sajip  added the comment:

I'm not convinced that this is an error in logging or test_logging. There are 
no special Unicode keys in the list being sorted AFAIK, and no reason why the 
sort() should fail. It's more likely to be some problem in the collation code 
relating to UCS-4 builds.

[issue9309] Add environment variable complementing command line option -no-user-cfg

[Alexander Dreyer]

Alexander Dreyer  added the comment:

The patch is originating from Sage Days 24. Sage (http://www.sagemath.org) 
distributes a bunch of mathematical python-based software. The integration of 
the individual packages is done by individual people which might not use 
--no-user-cfg in their install scripts. So we needed a way to ensure this via 
the environment.

Best regards,
  Alexander

[issue2704] IDLE: Patch to make PyShell behave more like a Terminal interface

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

IDLE should be accessible and easy to use for beginners who have never used a 
command line. Therefore I don't think up/down should scroll through the history 
by default. Since IDLE looks like a text editor (even the shell window) it is 
more intuitive that the arrows should move the cursor around the window.

Note that a user can configure up/down to scroll through the history quite 
easily using the configuration dialog.

I agree that as it stands it is hard to discover how to scroll through the 
history, and that Return can be used to bring previous code into the current 
command line. I think we can find a better way to make these features known to 
new users, without making the interface less intuitive.

For example, we could have a "Welcome to IDLE!" screen that appears the first 
time IDLE is run by a user, which outlines a few basic features such as these. 
This should of course be complemented by better documentation, including a 
section on various commands (a separate issue).

[issue2704] IDLE: Patch to make PyShell behave more like a Terminal interface

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

Regarding passing on letter/number key-presses to the command line, I'm -0 on 
this. Note that not only letter/number keys should be passed on.

I've often found myself wanting to type in the command line after looking at 
previous code, to see that my key presses are being ignored, and having to 
Ctrl+End to return the cursor to the command line.

However, if I was scrolling through the history and by accident hist a letter 
or number, having the cursor jump to the command line and the window scroll 
back to the end would be annoying. Personally, I would prefer avoiding this and 
having to use Ctrl+End to return to the command line.

I agree to the points raised by Antoine. Also yesterday in IRC, Eric Smith

better to leave at Exception raised and anyways py3k has correct behavior.

I shall revert the patch from 2.7.1.

[issue1207589] Right Click Context Menu

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

I agree with Guilherme: shortcuts don't need to appear in the context menu.

Guilherme's patch looks pretty good overall, but I have a few remarks:

1) Pasting should be disabled in the Shell window when the cursor is before the 
I/O mark. (the behavior for cutting is correct)

2) Code relevant to the Shell window should be in PyShell, not in EditorWindow 
with a getattr(self, 'interp', None) check.

3) Tk.Text.compare can receive names of tags to compare (don't have to do 
Tk.Text.index(''))

So I made these changes. Attached are patches against current trunk (2.x) and 
py3k branch.

My testing on Windows7 with both 2.7 and 3.1.2 showed this change works well. 
This should be tested on OSX and Linux since it interacts with the clipboard, 
which works differently on these platforms.

[issue9311] os.access can return bogus values when run as superuser

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

I'm curious, are the perl and sh functions you say do the right thing wrappers 
around 'access', or are they some other sort of function?  The Python code is 
just a thin wrapper around the system function, and as such will follow the 
system function's semantics.

I do agree that the FreeBSD interpretation of the semantics of access 
is...unexpected, as well as unfortunate :)  So, a doc note about the superuser 
X_OK quirk is appropriate.  Care to propose a doc patch?  Personally I wouldn't 
include the stat example, but rather simply refer to stat as the portable way 
to check if the execute bit is set (and then you still have to call os.access 
to see if the real uid has permission to execute).

On the other hand, proposing a portable version of 'access' for inclusion in 
shutils might be appropriate, if you want to open a new issue for that 
(preferably with a patch including docs and unit tests :)

[issue9290] IDLE and Command line present different behavior for sys.stdin

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

I agree that the wrapping of these in IDLE should be as transparent as possible.

It would be helpful if you could specify what other "quirks" you have found 
regarding sys.stdin, sys.stdout and sys.stderr, preferably describing use cases 
where these are problematic.

Makes sense. I can't see any other real explanation for -7200 value if
I am in +2 UTC timezone.

I believe the correct convention is "Return timedelta...". Another
concern - if UTC is 0 reference point then there is no reason to add
something to it - you just can say - "Return timedelta equal to local
UTC offset."

[issue9262] IDLE: Use tabbed shell and edit windows

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

(Note: there has recently been some discussion of this on idle-dev and 
python-dev.)

This may be nice to have but has complications. I think there are currently 
more pressing issues regarding IDLE that require our attention.

Also, just adding tabs isn't necessarily enough. Having several separate 
windows should still be an option. And if you can have several windows, each 
with several tabs, drag-n-drop moving of tabs between windows is really nice to 
have, not to mention drag-n-drop reordering of tabs.

[issue9312] Fix usage of :option: markup in stdlib ReST docs

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

In documenting/markup:

program
The name of an executable program. This may differ from the file name for 
the executable for some platforms. In particular, the .exe (or other) extension 
should be omitted for Windows programs.

So I believe the correct form would be ``python regrtest.py``.

[issue9222] IDLE: Fix open/saveas 'Files of type' choices

[Tal Einat]

Tal Einat  added the comment:

On Windows, I can't think of any common reason to want to save a file edited in 
IDLE without the .py extension. On the other hand, accidentally forgetting the 
.py extension is annoying, and users have come to expect a default extension 
being added by applications (e.g. MS Office).

Guilherme's patch (applied manually) works fine here on Windows7. I'm all for 
committing this if it has been tested to work as expected on Linux and OSX.

(minor nit-pick: could use sys.platform.startswith('win') instead of slicing)

No, UTC is not a 0 reference point, it is a time scale.  UTC offset is
the value that is used to translate between time expressed in UTC and
local time.   To make an analogy, expressing time in UTC is like
expressing temperature in Kelvin scale.  You need to subtract 273 from
the value in ºK to arrive at the value in ºC.

Documenting utcoffset() as "Return timedelta equal to local UTC
offset." is almost circular.  It does not explain whether it has to be
added or subtracted from UTC to arrive at local time.

FYI, I like the change.  As I recall it, the current wording was just to avoid

Technically pure or not, I never saw anyone get truly confused by "East of UTC" 
or "West of UTC", but I fully that what people really want to know is what to 
do with the thing (add or subtract it).

They're not, but I don't think that really matters.

Older documentation used the imperative form consistently, but that's
shifted over time.  (I, at least, think that's a good thing.)

I don't think it really matters with regard to this issue.

Interesting.  I actually like the original wording better.  For me,
"my watch is 6 hours behind UTC" makes it clear that when the Big Ben
clock shows tea time (18:00), my watch displays noon (17:00 - 6:00 =
12:00.)

I wonder if east/west is somehow more natural for native speakers of
English.   I would really like to hear more from the international
audience.  When it comes to measuring time there are many interesting
traditions that don't translate well between nations.  For example,
I've heard that in the Far East, the future is considered to be behind
because you can see the past but you cannot see the future.  If this
is the notion that you are used to, time being ahead or behind can be
truly confusing.

I was too excited to add Alice in Wonderland humor to my post that did
not get the math right. :-)

The above should read 18:00 - 6:00 = 12:00, of course.  Or was it five
o'clock after all?

However, adding _Py does seem to go against this comment in Include/asdl.h:
/* It would be nice if the code generated by asdl_c.py was completely
   independent of Python, but it is a goal the requires too much work
   at this stage.  So, for example, I'll represent identifiers as
   interned Python strings.
*/

[issue8254] write a configure command

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

configure is not config. As I understand it, the config command aimed to be 
something like ./configure in autotools, thus usable in combination with build 
and install. configure is different: it is meant to be run once to create a 
configure.cache file which saves possibly long and complicated options. IOW, 
its goal was to be typed only once, not in combination with build or install. 
This is why build does not call configure. I have written a short doc to 
explain that, see configure.rst in my repo or the built version at 
http://distutils2.notmyidea.org/configure.html

This message and the linked doc explain the current behavior of configure as I 
understood its purpose a month ago, IMO respecting what Tarek wrote in the bug 
report. However, Tarek he did not explain all that he had in mind here, like I 
wrote here on 2010-07-17 (I don’t have notes on that :/ so I’ll have to ask him 
again and sort out the setup.cfg/configure.cache overlap). When I get back to 
configure, the command line “configure --prefix ~ install” will work according 
to your expectations.

The patch is small, is there any solid reason for not committing it?

[issue9222] IDLE: Fix open/saveas 'Files of type' choices

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Tal, I agree with your comment, but I believe it applies to #4832 and should be 
moved there. The patch here fixes (and only fixes) an obvious bug in the 
filetypes list.

[issue9311] os.access can return bogus values when run as superuser

[Garrett Cooper]

Garrett Cooper  added the comment:

Well, bash screws up in this dept:

$ ls -l typescript
-rw-r--r--  1 gcooper  gcooper  37875 Jul 12 22:19 typescript
$ sudo sh -c 'test -x typescript; echo $?'
1
$ sudo bash -c 'test -x typescript; echo $?'
0
$ csh
%if (-x typescript) then
if? echo "executable"
if? endif
%

test(1) is a built-in in bash; on FreeBSD/NetBSD(/OpenBSD?) it's a standalone 
app (which uses eaccess(2)). csh does some tricky code for testing file access 
in sh.exp.c (see sh_access).

perl does some tricky stuff in pp_sys.c (look for pp_ftrread), where it 
uses eaccess(2) if it's present, else falls back to access(2) to do its 
bidding. So maybe os.access should use eaccess(2) if it's present on the OS 
instead of access(2), and note that the item is OS implementation dependent 
(beware!)?

[issue3704] cookielib doesn't handle URLs with / in parameters

[John J Lee]

John J Lee  added the comment:

Hmm, I never tested with Python 3, though I assume the forward-port was 
straightforward.  The patch was created against (2.x) trunk, so indeed it 
should be committed there also.

Deselecting 2.6 since I assume no more maintenance backports will be made to 
2.6 aside from security fixes -- right?

[issue9296] json module skipkeys handling changed exception types in 2.7

[Doug Hellmann]

Doug Hellmann  added the comment:

Ray, thanks for the patches.  Antoine, I appreciate the review.  I'll try to 
get these checked in to svn in the next day or two.  

I see that this ticket is tagged as related to versions 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2.  
Should the changes be applied to any branches other than trunk and py3k?
