[Python-Dev] PEP 3147, __cached__, and PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()

2010-04-09 Thread Barry Warsaw
I've run into a minor snag implementing the __cached__ attribute on imported
modules.  From PEP 3147:

As part of this PEP, we will add an `__cached__` attribute to modules,
which will always point to the actual `pyc` file that was read or
written.  When the environment variable `$PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE` is
set, or the `-B` option is given, or if the source lives on a
read-only filesystem, then the `__cached__` attribute will point to
the location that the `pyc` file *would* have been written to if it
didn't exist.  This location of course includes the `__pycache__`
subdirectory in its path.

The right place to add this seems to be PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx(), which
passes in a `pathname` argument.  This function is not documented in the C API
reference manual and about the only place where it's described is
Misc/HISTORY:

- New function PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx(), which extends
PyImport_ExecCodeModule() by adding an extra parameter to pass it the
true file.

The "true file" can either be the source .py file, the legacy .pyc file, or
the PEP 3147 .pyc file depending on the circumstances.  The caller knows which
it is, but that function itself doesn't.  I've tentatively worked out some
code that lets it guess, but it's a kludge, it's ugly and I don't like it.  I
think the right fix is to extend PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx() to also pass in
the pathname for __cached__ (or NULL if None is appropriate).

It bothers me a little to change this API, but OTOH, it's an *undocumented*
API, so I don't feel too badly. ;) Since this is one of the last things to
implement for PEP 3147, I thought I'd ask and see if anybody had any better
suggestions.

-Barry

Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 3147, __cached__, and PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx()

2010-04-09 Thread Guido van Rossum
It may be undocumented but it doesn't start with _ and it exists to
preserve backwards compatibility. So I recommend adding
PyImport_ExecCodeModuleExEx().

Cool, thanks.  Now I can't wait for PyImport_ExecCodeModuleExExEx() :)

Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 3147 working implementation

2010-04-09 Thread Barry Warsaw
Patch set 4 has been uploaded to Rietveld:

http://codereview.appspot.com/842043/show

This includes some fixes for Windows and support for the __cached__ attribute
on modules.  While I need to do another pass through the PEP to make sure I've
gotten everything, this code is very nearly feature complete, so it's probably
worth getting Guido to pronounce on the PEP pretty soon.

Would it be better to name this one _PyImport_ExecCodeModuleExEx (with
an underscore) so that we *don't* need to create an ExExEx version in
future? (Sorry, Barry :-))

Paul.

Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 3147

2010-04-09 Thread Antoine Pitrou

Hello,

I'm sorry to chime in a bit late about an aspect of the PEP, but I only wondered
about it while reviewing your code :-)

« Instead, this PEP proposes to add a mapping between internal magic numbers 
and a user-friendly tag. Newer versions of Python can add to this mapping so 
that all later Pythons know the mapping between tags and magic numbers. »

The question is: why do we have to keep a mapping of past tags and magic
numbers? Don't we only care about our current tag and magic number?
(similarly, we don't know, and need to know, about Jython's or Pypy's stuff...).

As far as I can tell, it would remove the burden of maintening an ever-growing
registry of past magic numbers and tags.

Regards

Antoine.

I don't care about what name you pick, and my ExEx proposal was meant
to include half a wink, but http://docs.python.org/c-api/import.html
makes it clear that PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx() is far from private!
(I don't know where Barry got that idea.) While Google Code Search
finds mostly references to PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx in the Python
source code and various copies of it, it also shows some real uses,
e.g.
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#bkFK9YpaWlI/ubuntu/pool/universe/y/yehia/yehia_0.5.4.orig.tar.gz|PZ0_Xf7QzC0/yehia-0.5.4.orig/plugins/python/python-loader.cc&q=PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx
