[issue10190] Can argparse._AttributeHolder._get_kwargs become a public API?

[Steven Bethard]

Steven Bethard  added the comment:

Could you elaborate a little on what you use it for? The argparse module only 
uses this for pretty __repr__ on the various objects. (And in fact, it looks 
like it's gotten a little out of sync - "required" is missing from Action, and 
a number of things are missing from ArgumentParser.)

[issue10190] Can argparse._AttributeHolder._get_kwargs become a public API?

[Dariusz Suchojad]

Dariusz Suchojad  added the comment:

I find that _AttributeHolder is a handy way for passing the command line 
options around the application. What is lacks though is a documented API for 
actually fetching the attributes in batches, like .items() or something similar 
that could be used for iterating over all command line arguments. That's why I 
thought '_get_kwargs' would be a good candidate particularly because it does 
exactly what I need in my code, returns a sorted list of key/value parameters.

But I'm not really saying that it must be '_get_kwargs', could as well be 
_AttributeHolder's __dict__ attribute as long as the docs say that it's a part 
of the public API so that I'm sure I'm not using something that may silently 
break between releases.

[issue10184] tarfile touches directories twice

[Lars Gustäbel]

Lars Gustäbel  added the comment:

I'm not entirely happy with the name of the "touch" argument. Apart from it 
being nice and short, I think it's a little too unix-y and might be misleading 
because it is not only about setting the modification time as the name implies, 
but also owner and mode. My proposal would be "restore_attrs" or "set_attrs" 
which isn't half as nice as "touch", but sums up better what's actually done. I 
leave this up to you.

I think the testcase wouldn't work on Windows the way it is now, would it?

Apart from these minor issues the patch gets my blessing, go ahead ;-)

Well, I'm not asking anyone to rewrite the entire multiprocessing test suite; 
and, besides, I've provided a patch myself to improve it in that respect ;) (in 
issue10173)

Of course, it also means the present pickle patch is imperfect, though the 
result of __reduce__ in this case looks more like a side-effect of an 
implementation detail than documented behaviour (since the result isn't usable 
anyway). I may try to come up with a better patch before the 3.2 beta but it's 
not sure I will find enough time/motivation.

Hurry, we are still on track for 3.2. :-).

Another question: I am not able to decide between Sun/Apple style, or breaking

this actually important?. Are there so many legacy dtrace scripts out there?.

I would say compatibility with Sun/Apple probes should not stand in
the way of implementing this in cpython.  Of course familiarity to
existing users is a consideration, but in cases where self-consistency
can be improved, I don't think we should be overly concerned about
legacy scripts.  I would estimate that 90% of future users will never
have used either Sun or Apple probes, 9% will have used Apple and 1%
Sun. (This is completely unscientific guess, of course.)

[Jesús Cea Avión]

Jesús Cea Avión  added the comment:

Malcolm, does your last patch address the performance issue?. Ideally, dtrace 
support should be compiled in by default, so performance issues are important.

Idealy, performance difference between compiling dtrace or not should be 
negligible. Until you actually use it, of course.

If you ascertain yourself that the test works under ZFS then I think it
is enough. Of course, it would be better if a buildbot ran that test,
but we can live without it (IMHO).

I agree. I trust that the patch is correct, and we really don't need to
test whether ZFS works correctly (but trust that Oracle will).

[issue4111] Add Systemtap/DTrace probes

[Frank Ch. Eigler]

Frank Ch. Eigler  added the comment:

I believe the problem jcea is experiencing is with the
solaris (/linux?) branch of the configure.in:

if dtrace -G -o /dev/null -s $srcdir/Include/pydtrace.d 2>/dev/null

It seems solaris doesn't like the -o /dev/null part.  Try
specifying some real temporary file name instead.

[issue4111] Add Systemtap/DTrace probes

[Dave Malcolm]

Dave Malcolm  added the comment:

Updated patch, removing the FIXMEs, and slightly reworking the test code.

I've wrapped the whole of get_frame_marker_info with a 
PyErr_Fetch/PyErr_Restore pair: the PyUnicode_AsUTF8String calls could fail 
with a MemoryError, and we don't want to confuse the regular exception handling 
within ceval.

I'm not sure how to write a unit test to test for this: perhaps we could 
corrupt the __code__ instance so that co_filename is not a PyUnicodeObject, 
leading to a TypeError within the function, but that's a readonly attribute.  
Any ideas?

I've also added a unit test for a non-ASCII script 
(Lib/test/systemtap_sample_☠.py), containing a non-ASCII identifier (文字化け).

The non-ASCII script name (Lib/test/systemtap_sample_☠.py) may be 
controversial: do we have anything like that in the source tree yet?  Is there 
any risk of messing up the build across platforms, or of impacting the Hg 
migration?

Still to-do:
  - address the "Undefined symbol" issues seen by jcea.
  - documentation
  - doublecheck performance

If PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() is meant to encode a filename, you should
use PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() instead.

It would be better to generate the sample dynamically, so that users
with an incompatible locale or filesystem aren't prevented from checking
out the source.

[issue10194] Add gc.remap() function to the gc module.

[Peter Ingebretson]

New submission from Peter Ingebretson :

This patch implements the gc.remap() function as described in the following 
document:

http://doublestar.org/in-place-python-reloading/

The intended use is an enhanced module reloading mechanism, a prototype of 
which is described here:

http://doublestar.org/python-hot-loading-prototype/

The patch includes unit tests for gc.remap as well as documentation.  The NEWS 
has a TODO where the issue number would be, which needs to be updated.  The 
unit test suite has been run on Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP.

Thanks: am attaching updated patch: I've removed 
Lib/test/systemtap_sample_☠.py, and now generate a similarly-named file during 
the test, using test.support.TEST_FN and unlink

Still TODO:
  - address pitrou's concerns about PyUnicode_AsUTF8String from msg119580
  - address the "Undefined symbol" issues seen by jcea (msg119563 onwards)
  - documentation
  - doublecheck performance
  - perhaps add a systemtap "tapset", and demo code using it (like I did in 
Fedora's python3 RPMs)
  - anything else I've missed :)

[issue4111] Add Systemtap/DTrace probes

[Dave Malcolm]

Dave Malcolm  added the comment:

I should note that I've only ever been testing this with SystemTap, on Linux.  
I don't have a box with DTrace, and I've never directly used it.  I wouldn't 
today be able to diagnose a buildbot failure related to DTrace (I believe I 
would with systemtap, fwiw).

Are there any DTrace experts around who would be willing to handle the DTrace 
side of this?  If not, would it be reasonable to make this issue be only 
explicitly about "systemtap"?  (e.g. perhaps change the "configure" argument 
accordingly?)  Alternatively, given that this bug originally started as an RFE 
about DTrace, should we split out systemtap as a separate RFE?

I'm sorry if I've "muddied the waters" by doing this.

For example, the only test coverage I've written (test_systemtap.py) checks for 
the presence of a "stap" executable, and skips the tests if it's not found.  
I'm not familiar enough with DTrace to create the same for DTrace.

FWIW (in response to IRC question): "thread_indent" is documented here:
http://sourceware.org/systemtap/SystemTap_Beginners_Guide/systemtapscript-handler.html#thread_indent

It looks like it may be systemtap-specific; however the only usage is within 
test_systemtap.py, guarded by the presence of a "stap" binary, skipping the 
tests if it is not found.

[issue775964] fix test_grp failing when NIS entries present

[Bobby Impollonia]

Bobby Impollonia  added the comment:

I am encountering this issue with py3k on a Debian machine. test_grp 
consistently fails due to a line with a plus sign in /etc/group

I believe that the previous patch attached to this bug is not correct due to 
the issues others have raised: It only handles lines with a plus sign as the 
name (not any name starting with '+' or '-') and it breaks out of the loop when 
it finds one, silently discarding any remaining lines.

I've attached a new patch which preserves the functionality of getgrall but 
updates its docstring to document that any group names starting with '+' or '-' 
represent NIS-related entries. The patch fixes the test itself so that it skips 
over NIS-related entries rather than attempting to look them up with 
grp.getgrnam.

With this patch applied (to the py3k branch HEAD), all regression tests pass on 
my machine.

[issue10195] Memory allocation fault-injection?

[Dave Malcolm]

New submission from Dave Malcolm :

We were chatting on #python-dev on possible ways of testing the correct 
handling of "MemoryError".

Attached is one idea: adding a sys._inject_malloc_failure() hook, letting you 
inject a memory-allocation (or reallocation) failure some number of allocations 
in the future:

>>> import sys
[52733 refs]
>>> 2 + 2
4
[52733 refs]
>>> sys._inject_malloc_failure(50)
[52733 refs]
>>> 2 + 2
MemoryError
[52747 refs]
>>> 2 + 2
4
[52747 refs]

I'm not sure how to make this useful; perhaps it could instead compare with the 
"serialno" in Objects/obmalloc.c so that you could set up a specific numbered 
allocation and have it fail (or perhaps a range of serial numbers, and expose 
"serialno" within the "sys" module?)

Another idea might be to randomly have some proportion of allocations fail.  
Perhaps the test suite could have an option where it runs each set of tests in 
a separate subprocess, and sets a command-line switch to inject "random" malloc 
failures? (storing the seed, so that they're reproducible, on one machine at 
least).

[issue10176] telnetlib.Telnet.read_very_eager() performance

[Jack Diederich]

Jack Diederich  added the comment:

There was no test suite for telnetlib prior to 2.7/3.1 so it is easily possible 
that this is a regression.  If you can post a test case that fails or - even 
better - a patch that passes where the current code fails I'd be very 
appreciative.

New submission from Bruce Sherwood :

Using Python 3.1 installed on Ubuntu 10.10 from the package manager, 
distutils.get_python_lib() returns the nonexistent location 
/usr/local/python3/dist-packages instead of the correct location 
/usr/local/python3.1/dist-packages. This subversion bug is not present in 
distutils.get_python_inc(), which correctly returns /usr/include/python3.1.
