[issue1985] Bug/Patch: Problem with xml/__init__.py when using freeze.py

Toni Brkic added the comment: I still think the __init__ file should be changed and use the extend_path function instead of extend. Se below for answer I got on the python list. The extend_path function (found in the pkgutil standard module) can handle this. http://docs.python.org/lib/modu

[issue2016] Crash when modifying the **kwargs passed to a function.

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc: The following script exploits a comment in funcobject.c: /* XXX This is broken if the caller deletes dict items! */ Because the code only borrows references to the items, it is possible to have them destroyed before they are copied into the called fram

[issue1722344] Thread shutdown exception in Thread.notify()

Adam Olsen added the comment: I disagree. sys.exit() attempts to gracefully shutdown the interpreter, invoking try/finally blocks and the like. If you want to truly force shutdown you should use os.abort() or os._exit(). Note that, as python doesn't call a main function, you have to use sys.ex

[issue2014] xmlrpclib cannot send datetime objects with dates before 1900

New submission from Ralf Schmitt: xmlrpclib uses datetime.strftime which cannot handle dates before 1900. this patch adds a custom date formatting function, which does not have this restriction. It also contains 2 additional unit tests, which both fail with the unpatched version. -- comp

[issue1722344] Thread shutdown exception in Thread.notify()

Brett Cannon added the comment: Hold on, why is that wrong? What if the threads block forever, preventing shutdown? sys.exit() is not exactly some namby-pamby function but a forced shutdown of the interpreter that should guarantee that the interpreter quits. Changing its semantics now would take

[issue1722344] Thread shutdown exception in Thread.notify()

Adam Olsen added the comment: Py_Main calls WaitForThreadShutdown before calling Py_Finalize, which should wait for all these threads to finish shutting down before it starts wiping their globals. However, if SystemExit is raised (such as via sys.exit()), Py_Exit is called, and it directly calls

[issue1722344] Thread shutdown exception in Thread.notify()

Brett Cannon added the comment: I think the general idea of the problem has been stated, but I figured I would state the official issue. When Python begins to shutdown it takes each module and sets each variable in the global namespace to None. If a thread has not terminated before the interpret

[issue2009] Grammar change to prevent shift/reduce problem with varargslist

Andrew Dalke added the comment: I've been working from the Grammar file from CVS for 2.6 ... I thought. For example, I see "# except_clause: 'except' [test [('as' | ',') test]]" which is a 2.6-ism. "svn log" says it hasn't changed since 2007-05-19, when except/as was added. What did I miss?

[issue2012] Add migration step for DictMixin -> collections.MutableMapping

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: The difference is the underlying methods. DictMixin depended on getitem, setitem, delitem, and keys. MutableMapping doesn't need keys but wants __iter__ and __len__. Also, DictMixin did not insist on all of those being present, while MutableMapping won't
