[issue9100] test_sysconfig fails (test_user_similar)
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: No, I think it's not the duplicate of any of the bugs you've specified. Meanwhile I've installed to another location and it's now python 2.7.1, but the problem still present: My configure parameters are: --prefix=//ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1-1/common --exec-prefix=//ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1-1/.exec/ia32.linux.2.6.glibc.2.3 --enable-shared The error message is: AssertionError: '/ms/user/a/and/.local/lib/python2.7' != '/ms/user/a/and/.local/exec/lib/python2.7' I'm executing the python interpreter from: //ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1/exec/bin/python (which is the same as //ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1-1/.exec/ia32.linux.2.6.glibc.2.3/bin/python) In the unittest I have the following variables: sysconfig.get_config_var('base') = '/ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1' sysconfig.get_config_var('userbase') = '/ms/user/a/and/.local' sysconfig.get_path('stdlib', 'posix_prefix') = '/ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1/lib/python2.7' sysconfig.get_path('stdlib', 'posix_user') = '/ms/user/a/and/.local/lib/python2.7' sysconfig.get_path('platstdlib', 'posix_prefix') = '/ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1/exec/lib/python2.7' sysconfig.get_path('platstdlib', 'posix_user') = '/ms/user/a/and/.local/lib/python2.7' sysconfig.get_path('purelib', 'posix_prefix') = '/ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages' sysconfig.get_path('purelib', 'posix_user') = '/ms/user/a/and/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' sysconfig.get_path('platlib', 'posix_prefix') = '/ms/dist/python/PROJ/core/2.7.1/exec/lib/python2.7/site-packages' sysconfig.get_path('platlib', 'posix_user') = '/ms/user/a/and/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages' I think the problem is that while get_path('platstdlib', 'posix_prefix') returns an exec-specific path different from get_path('stdlib', 'posix_prefix'), get_path('platstdlib', 'posix_user') returns the same as get_path('stdlib', 'posix_user'). -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9100> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue5625] test_urllib2 fails - urlopen error file not on local host
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: The test which failed was HandlerTests.test_file, and I'm using python 2.7.1. socket.gethostbyname('localhost') returns "127.0.0.1" which is ok, but in the unittest it's already tested (line 671). The problem is that my /etc/hosts file contains a different IP than the DNS (I cannot change this behaviour as I'm not the administrator of the host) and that's the difference between gethostbyname and gethostbyname_ex. The unittest creates an url which is not local (from urllib2 point of view). I'm attaching a patch which has fixed my problem. -- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20050/test_urllib2.py.diff ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5625> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue5625] test_urllib2 fails - urlopen error file not on local host
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: The order of the IP addresses doesn't matter as urllib2 is flexible enough to handle all local IP addresses as local (that was the original bug - it handled only one IP returned by gethostbyname which returned a random IP if there were more than one). So picking up the first IP is ok I think as the order of the IP addresses doesn't matter - urllib2 will handle all of them as local. See urllib2.FileHandler.get_names(). The problem is that gethostbyname doesn't guarantee that it returns one IP address from the set returned by gethostbyname_ex as gethostbyname looks up the name in /etc/hosts file first (or as configured in NSS). -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5625> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue7242] Forking in a thread raises RuntimeError
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: I compile it with -lpthread. os.fork1() was not available by default, I enabled it by removing two lines from posixmodule.c (it seems it's only enabled when #if defined(__USLC__) && defined(__SCO_VERSION__) is true). With os.fork1() I have the same results, RuntimeError. I was not able to compile it without pthread because I haven't found any configure options for that. If it's possible I'm happy to try it. In my patch I wanted to reduce the effect on systems where forking in thread is working (eg. linux), that's the reason why I added "(defined (__SVR4) && defined (__sun)". But it just checks for solaris, not the OS version (on solaris 10/intel my demo is working).

[issue7906] float("INFI") returns inf on certain platforms
New submission from Zsolt Cserna : Python 2.6.4 On my system which is solaris 8/sparc, float("INFI") returns inf instead of raising ValueError, both 32 and 64-bit. (since it's case-insensitive it applies to any upper/lower combination of letters). This issue breaks test_float regression test which has a test for that value and it expects ValueError. Doing some research and debugging showed me that strtod(const char *str, char **endptr) function behaves differently on solaris 8 than linux. On solaris it stores \0 in **endptr meaning that it processed the string completely - and that's the reason why python doesn't raise ValueError. On linux, strtod() stores 'I' in **endptr, and it results the ValueError. With python 2.6.1 there's no such issue. -- components: Interpreter Core messages: 99206 nosy: csernazs severity: normal status: open title: float("INFI") returns inf on certain platforms type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue7906> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue35297] untokenize documentation is not correct
New submission from Zsolt Cserna : untokenize documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/tokenize.html#tokenize.untokenize) states the following: """ Converts tokens back into Python source code. The iterable must return sequences with at least two elements, the token type and the token string. Any additional sequence elements are ignored. """ This last sentence is clearly not true because here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/tokenize.py#L242 The code checks for the length of the input token there, and the code behaves differently, in terms of whitespace, when an iterator of 2-tuples are given and when there are more elements in the tuple. When there are more elements in the tuple, the function renders whitespaces as the same as they were present in the original source. So this code: tokenize.untokenize(tokenize.tokenize(source.readline)) And this: tokenize.untokenize([x[:2] for x in tokenize.tokenize(source.readline)]) Have different results. I don't know that it is a documentation issue or a bug in the module itself, so I created this bugreport to seek for assistance in this regard. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 330281 nosy: csernazs, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: untokenize documentation is not correct versions: Python 3.7 ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue35297> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue7242] Forking in a thread raises RuntimeError
New submission from Zsolt Cserna : Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Oct 29 2009, 12:00:12) [C] on sunos5 On my sunos5 system if I call os.fork() in a thread created by thread.start_new_thread(), it raises RuntimeError with the message 'not holding the import lock'. It's a vanilla python compiled on sunos5 with suncc. In 2.6.3 it's ok, I think this issue is caused by patch located at http://codereview.appspot.com/96125/show. The problem can be re-produced by running the script attached. I've looked into the source and it seems to me the following: Based on the the change above, it calls fork1() system call between a lock-release calls: 3635 » _PyImport_AcquireLock(); 3636 » pid = fork1(); 3637 » result = _PyImport_ReleaseLock(); _PyImport_ReleaseLock is called in both the child and parent. Digging more into the code, _PyImport_ReleaseLock starts with the following: long me = PyThread_get_thread_ident(); if (me == -1 || import_lock == NULL) return 0; /* Too bad */ if (import_lock_thread != me) return -1; In the above code, if I interpret correctly, it compares the result of the current thread id returned by PyThread_get_thread_ident call with the thread id of the thread holding the lock - if it's different then the current thread cannot release the lock because it's not owned by it. Based on my results on solaris the 'me' variable will be different in the parent and in the child (in parent it remains the same) - resulting that the child thinks that it's not holding the release lock. I'm using pthreads on both linux and solaris. On linux the code above is working fine, but on solaris it behaves differently. -- components: Library (Lib) files: thread_test.py messages: 94701 nosy: csernazs severity: normal status: open title: Forking in a thread raises RuntimeError type: behavior versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15232/thread_test.py ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue7242> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue7839] Popen should raise ValueError if pass a string when shell=False or a list when shell=True
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: I would say that both string and list should be accepted in args, and depending on the shell parameter, the module should create a list or a string from the specified list/string. We already have a list2cmdline function to convert a list to string, we would only need to create the inverse of this function to convert a string to a list. Executing a program whose parameters are coming from external source (eg. user input) can result security problems if those are not specified as a list and in this case I would be really happy to specify my parameters as a list to Popen and it would do the appropriate conversions as above. -- nosy: +csernazs ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue7839> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue9115] test_site: support for systems without unsetenv
New submission from Zsolt Cserna : On systems where there's no unsetenv function (for example solaris 8), test_site fails because the PYTHONUSERBASE environment variable remains set to "xoxo" (set in the previous tests). This results a failed test_s_option test. -- components: Tests files: test_site.py.diff keywords: patch messages: 108910 nosy: csernazs priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test_site: support for systems without unsetenv type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file17799/test_site.py.diff ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9115> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9185] os.getcwd causes infinite loop on solaris
New submission from Zsolt Cserna : os.getcwd() causes infinite loop on solaris10 when the length of the current directory is greater than 1024 (them limit of the maximum absolute path). os.getcwd is implemented by a while loop in python, see the function posix_getcwd in posixmodule.c. That while loop loops forever because on solaris it sets errno to ERANGE and res to NULL - even if there will be no positive results from getcwd due to the extra long path. This infinite while cycle also causes eating up the memory. I think the solution would be implementing a hard limit for this while loop. It could be either fixed (16k for example), or dymanic: comparing the MAXPATHLEN macro to the size of the allocated buffer and if the size of the buffer is greater than MAXLPATHLEN then raise an OSError exception with the current errno. That bug was triggered by test_posix unittest. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 109459 nosy: csernazs priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: os.getcwd causes infinite loop on solaris type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9185] os.getcwd causes infinite loop on solaris
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: There would be also a solution to allocate a fix buffer with MAXLPATHLEN size and call the getcwd function only one time - if MAXLPATHLEN is available. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9185] os.getcwd causes infinite loop on solaris
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: You are right, but this bug could be easily avoided by using one of the suggested solutions. In my experience a fix sized buffer (whose size is MAXLPATHLEN - or 1024 if not defined) is usually passed to getcwd and the errno is propagated back to the caller if the result is NULL. While getcwd() is buggy on solaris I think it's not the correct behavior from python to get to an infinite loop and eat up the memory. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue9185] os.getcwd causes infinite loop on solaris
Zsolt Cserna added the comment: I confirm that test_posix passes after applying the patch issue9185-2.patch on solaris 8. Thank you. Now solaris and openbsd have a clean os.getcwd() implementation. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue9185> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
