[issue5871] email.header.Header too lax with embeded newlines

[Ville Lindholm]

Ville Lindholm  added the comment:

I tried doing a naive implementation (just checking for \n or \r in the 
argument to Header) but that breaks a lot of unit tests. For example the test 
message msg_16.txt contains a header like this:

Received: from cougar.noc.ucla.edu (cougar.noc.ucla.edu [169.232.10.18])
by babylon.socal-raves.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CCC2C51B84
for ; Sun, 23 Sep 2001 20:13:54 -0700 (PDT)

in other words the header is split up by \n\t. I'm not very familiar with the 
RFCs, is there some smart way to do this? (This is my first attempt to 
contribute to Python btw!) It seems many tests rely on this "bug" in Header.

[issue9417] Declaring a class creates circular references

[Ray.Allen]

Ray.Allen  added the comment:

We could provide an builtin unlink() function that calls any __unlink__ special 
method if present.


Maybe through this way such problems can be solved, but it seems it's not 
graceful and pythonic enough. The reason such an "unlink" method appears in 
xml.dom.minidom is because usually large xml document can eat up so much memory 
that we had to do something to make the memory garbaged sooner. But adding this 
as a standard __unlink__ method and requiring explicitly call the unlink() 
method make it similar as using c & c++, which require explicitly memory 
release. 

Besides, as you mentioned, "exposes an implementation detail of C python", it's 
better that the object reference mechanism be fully controlled by python core 
and not be awared by users at all. That is also one of the purposes of 
designing python. 

I prefer terry's idea, which suggests adding a metaclass that produces rc-free 
class to stdlib. These class should behave almost the same as the ones "type" 
metaclass produces. In order not to introduce the slower lookup, we can also 
add a little differences on usage of such classes, for example, internally 
store mro list without the class itself, but construct a full mro list when 
getting the __mro__ attribute, and different "super" implementation, since 
explicitly getting the mro is not so common in practice.

[issue6751] Default return value in ConfigParser

[Juan Javier]

Juan Javier  added the comment:

I would like the method to have the exact same behavior as before if the 
"default" argument is not present, and return the given default value when 
"deafult" argument is present.

If you simply add a "default" keyword, it will always be present and you 
wouldn't know if the user wants the exception thrown or the default value 
returned.

Do you know how to program this using a "default" keyword argument?

[issue5871] email.header.Header too lax with embeded newlines

[Ray.Allen]

Ray.Allen  added the comment:

Besides, not only the header value, but also the header name can only be 
printable ascii characters according to RFC2822:

"A field name MUST be composed of printable US-ASCII characters (i.e., 
characters that have values between 33 and 126, inclusive), except   colon."

But the msg object's __getitem__() seems to accept all ascii characters.

[issue9516] sysconfig: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET mismatch: now "10.3" but "10.5" during configure

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren  added the comment:

I agree that this behavior wrong, this should only trigger an error when 
building packages.

How did you build python? I guess something like this:

$ export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5
$ configure --enable-framework
$ make install

This should result in getting the right deployment target into config/Makefile, 
which means there may be two bugs here:

1) sysconfig.get_config_vars shouldn't trigger and error, only 
   the distutils build command should do that

2) config/Makefile should always contain the value of MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 
as used during the build, which in turn should
mean the value during the configure step.

BTW. I tend to configure like this:

$ configure --enable-framework MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5

That way automatic reruns of configure pick up the right environment variables.

[issue9047] Python 2.7rc2 includes -isysroot twice on each gcc command line

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren  added the comment:

The patch is not sufficient to fix this issue. One problem is that the 
configure script also using CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, which results in duplicate 
-isysroot flags when the compiler is used by configure.

Fixing this properly is annoyingly hard, I'll have to write down a dataflow 
graph to find a way to set -isysroot and the -arch flags in the minimal amount 
of locations to get the right behavior and to get rid of duplicate flags.

[issue8433] buildbot: test_curses failure, getmouse() returned ERR

[Mark Dickinson]

Mark Dickinson  added the comment:

I'm a bit surprised that the test *passes* at all, anywhere.  The man page for 
getmouse says:

"""This function will  return OK if a mouse event is actually visible in the 
given window, ERR otherwise."""

So if no mouse event occurs (which is presumably the usual case when 
test_curses is running) then I'd *expect* getmouse to return ERR.

+1 on just disabling these tests for now.

Yep. Here's a NEWS entry from the Ubuntu ncurses source:

+ minor improvement to tic's checking of similar SGR's to allow for the
  most common case of SGR 0.
+ modify getmouse() to act as its documentation implied, returning on
  each call the preceding event until none are left.  When no more
  events remain, it will return ERR.

The report says “This behaviour may sometimes be unwanted. It would be nice to

I don't think (1) would break any code. finditer() would still generate

The only time you would be discard the match-object, is if you try to do a 
destructuring bind in, e.g. a loop. This shouldn't be unexpected for the 
programmer.

[issue8433] buildbot: test_curses failure, getmouse() returned ERR

Here's a patch that simply reverses the getmouse and ungetmouse calls in the

failures where test_curses was previously working (on OS X 10.6.4, for example).

Barry, do you want me to apply this to 2.6.6, to give us another green buildbot 
or two?  Or is it not worth it?

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

[Eli Bendersky]

Eli Bendersky  added the comment:

Following the discussions on pydev and some private correspondence with Georg 
Brandl, I'm attaching an updated patch.

Things changed:

1. Changes of :option: to ``...`` similar to previous patch

2. :program:`prog` :option:`opt` was changed to ``prog opt``

3. Some modules have a large choice of command line options. Per Georg's 
suggestions, command line options in these modules can be described with the 
"cmdoption" directive and later referred to with :option: which inserts a 
back-link, just like to the Python interpreter options now. I've applied these 
changes to unittest.rst and timeit.rst. trace.rst also has this problem, but 
the trace documentation is currently undergoing a major change by issue 9264 
(2.6 fix was already committed) and I prefer changing it wholly at once.

In addition, the documentation of optparse underwent a more serious change 
because it kept referring to options with ``"-o"`` (note the double quotes 
after the ``), I changed it to ``-o`` for consistency.



P.S. The patch was generated from a fresh pull of py3k from the Hg mirror. The 
complete list of affected files:

M Doc/library/codecs.rst
M Doc/library/compileall.rst
M Doc/library/doctest.rst

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

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

Nice changes! Especially the program/cmdoption directives combo.

Your patch introduces trailing whitespace (good editor settings can show those, 
as well as hg diff with the color extension) and has one unnecessary change:

-line, ``options.filename`` will be ``"outfile"`` and ``options.verbose`` will 
be
+line, ``options.filename`` will be ``outfile`` and ``options.verbose`` will be

In this case, the things in  are not command line snippets but Python code, 
so the quotes are regular string notation.

Attached patch fixes that.

[issue5871] email.header.Header too lax with embeded newlines

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

Yeah, after I posted that suggestion it occurred to me that the newline stuff 
*is* embedded in the way email5 works, but I hadn't gotten back here to post a 
followup yet.  I don't like it, but it is what it is.  (I believe the theory is 
to preserve the formatting of the text that was parsed from an input 
message...in email6 I'm planning on handling that a different and safer way, 
albeit at the cost of using extra memory.)

So to fix the issue in email5 I we'd have to make sure there is whitespace 
following the newlines when *emitting* headers...which could then break 
roundtripping badly formed emails, which is not likely to be acceptable, and 
certainly would not be backportable. :(

In other words, it's not obvious to me that we *can* fix this in email5. :( :(

Thanks for working on this, and if you come up with any clever ideas let me 
know, and I'll do the same :)

R. David Murray  added the comment:

Re __getitem__: yes, the email package allows you to work with messages that 
are *not* RFC conformant (which you do encounter when processing actual email

report additional RFC violations, with an optional "strict" mode to raise 
errors if any violations are encountered.

[issue5612] whitespace folding in the email package could be better ; -)

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray  added the comment:

It's a plan to redesign the email API so that it can easily manipulate both 
bytes and strings as needed, with a backward compatibility layer that allows 
the current API to be used if all you need to do is process strings.  If we're 
lucky there may be a PyPI package that backports it to 2.x, although there the 
backward compatibility API will probably only work if you don't ever want to 
decode the message to unicode :(.

It is a project of the email-sig, but currently I'm the only one actively 
working on the code.

There are design documents in the wiki:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/Email%20SIG

the current code (which of course is in the middle of various transformations 
and the docs aren't completely up to date) is on launchpad in deference to 
Barry:

https://launchpad.net/python-email6

I welcome your comments!

(*) email4 is the package in most of the actively used versions of Python2.x, 
email5 is the version in 3.0/3.1/3.2, email6 will hopefully be the version in 
3.3.

[issue9417] Declaring a class creates circular references

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

I am opposed to a new 'unlink' builtin and '__unlink__' special method. There 
are more than enough builtin functions now, and this need is specific to those 
who both make lots temporary classes that they need garbage collected AND need 
to run with gc turned off. The intersection of these two small groups is 
probably very small. Since turning gc off is only an option with CPython (and 
PyPy?), this need is also implementation specific.

Before anything were added to the stdlib (and the need *might* be considered 
too rare for that) it should be tested in real use by more than one person. It 
appears that there are at least a couple of options for implementing a no_cr 
class. They could be attached to this issue, posted on the cookbook, or 
uploaded to PyPI.

1. Why would a Windows user use any extention other than .py or .pyw, which 
IDLE opens fine. How many people do something senseless like hand-registering, 
say 'xiq', as a python file?
2. .pyc files are binary files and NOT source code files and cannot be opened 
by IDLE as it will attempt to decode them into text. So why the check for that?

Also, I believe there is another issue to add a 'Treat this as Python code' 
entry to one of the menus. This would cover the case of files without 
extensions and files that are not python files but happen (on a case-by-case 
basis) to have python code embedded within.

So I am thinking that this should be closed.

[issue7450] document that os.chmod accepts an octal digit mode

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

(3.1.2)
15.1.5. Files and Directories
os.chmode entry: I recommend changing the first sentence
"Change the mode of path to the numeric mode."
to
"Change the mode of path to the integer mode (such as 0x755)."

For 2.7, delete the 'x'.

This should make it clear to Unix users that they can use the usual octal 
designations.

[issue7798] document pydoc methods

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Pydoc has a number of useful things that might be moved elsewhere and imported. 
An example is the no-yes filter _split_list. Documenting them in place would 
create something of a jumble. So I think this issue should be either closed 
(and possibly another opened) or renamed "Extract pydoc.page into a separate 
stdlib module." and reclassified.

[issue9529] Converge re.findall and re.finditer

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett  added the comment:

Ah, I see what you mean. I still think you're wrong, though! :-)

The 'for' loop is doing is basically this:

it = re.finditer(r'(\w+):(\w+)', text)
try:
while True:
match_object = next(it)
# body of loop
except StopIteration:
pass

re.finditer() it returns a generator which yields match objects.

What I think you're actually requesting (but not realising) is for the 'for' 
loop not just to iterate over the generator, but also over what the generator 
yields.

If you want re.finditer() to yield the groups then it has to return a generator 
which yields those groups, not match objects.

inclusion in one of the bug-fix releases. Given that this only affects binaries 
installed at a different location than the configure prefix, this seems hardly 
critical (and easy to fix locally).

[issue8722] Documentation for __getattr__

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

The problem with changing 2.7 docs is that object access is different for old- 
and new-style properties. Does your example work if you remove 'object'? (IE, 
can old style classes have properties?)

For new-style classes, the example behavior is clear if you 1. know that object 
has a .__getattribute__ method inherited by everything when not overriden and 
2. read the doc for that which says that __getattr__ is called whenever a 
__getattribute__ call raises AttributeError, which it does here by passing 
through the .get error.

For 3.x, I think in 3.3.2. Customizing attribute access,
object.__getattr__(self, name) 
"Called when an attribute lookup has not found the attribute in the usual 
places (i.e. it is not an instance attribute nor is it found in the class tree 
for self). name is the attribute name. "

might be replaced by

"Called when self.__getattribute__(name) raise AttributeError because name is 
not an instance attribute, not found in the class tree for self, or is a 
property attribute whose .get() method raises AttributeError."

But this does not work for 2.7.

[issue9538] Replace confusing pseudoname 'object' in special methods section.

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy :

In 3.3. Special method names, 'object' is used as a pseudo class name to prefix 
all the special method entries. This conflicts with the usual two Python 
meanings.

1. 'object' is the name of a specific class. So the entry for 
object.__getattribute__(self, name) says to avoid circularity by calling
object.__getattribute__(self, name), which looks circular and requires a bit a 
mental work by the reader to properly understand. Ditto for
object.__setattr__(self, name, value) calling
object.__setattr__(self, name, value)

2. Non-specifically, 'object' is usually understood to mean any Python object, 
not just a class. But the signatures as written require that 'object' 
specifically be a class and 'object' does not convey that.

So for both reasons, I propose that the pseudoname 'object' be replaces with 
'class' or 'someclass'

[issue9538] Replace confusing pseudoname 'object' in special methods section.

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

I also think that in "In order to avoid infinite recursion in this method, its 
implementation should always call the base class method with the same name to 
access any attributes it needs, for example, object.__getattribute__(self, 
name).", 'the base class' should be 'a base class' or 'a superclass' since 
there might be more than one base/super class. Ditto for __setattr__.

[issue2057] difflib: add patch capability

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

I would like to see this more easily available, perhaps in /Scripts.
Are unified diffs the type usually posted to the tracker?
I am not sure what you meant by ' diff/patch lib is not.'

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

I see lots of interest and several translations. Was there an intention to add 
this to the distribution (or has it been)? Or is it out-of-date?

[issue7798] document pydoc methods

[Ron Adam]

Ron Adam  added the comment:

I think a good place for the pager is in the cmd module.  I have a separated 
version of it I could upload if there is consensus on this.

I've extracted the text server, but it's in a minimum 'works for pydoc' stage. 
(See issue 2001)

Both of these need some more eye to look at the api's before they get 
documented.

[issue1722] Undocumented urllib functions

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

When internal functions lack '_', perhaps the doc should say "xys,uie, and ooe 
are intentionally undocumented internal functions." Otherwise, how is one 
supposed to know?
