python2.7/subprocess.py Popen on Ubuntu 10.04 Bug

by Eyal Moscovici

Hi, I found that using Popen with both executable and shell parameters set creates a bug: For example: Calling: Popen(["-a"], exacutable="/bin/ls", shell=True) Exacutes: /bin/ls -c -a instead of: /bin/sh -c "/bin/ls -a" The bug in the function: def _execute_child(self, args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, cwd, env, universal_newlines, startupinfo, creationflags, shell, p2cread, p2cwrite, c2pread, c2pwrite, errread, errwrite): """Execute program (POSIX version)""" Lines: 1124-1127: if shell: args = ["/bin/sh", "-c"] + args if executable: args[0] = executable Eyal Moscovici Networking and Virtualization Technologies IBM Haifa Research Lab

pygettext is obsolete

by Tom Wallroth

Dear mailing list, The documentation for i18n support is a bit outdated. It mentions pygettext, but it seems that pygettext was declared obsolete by just about anybody in 2004 and was replaced by its original implementation "xgettext". Here's a link to the part of the documentation, which is outdated: http://docs.python.org/3.3/library/gettext.html#id3 And some proof of pygettext not being used anymore since 2004: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=246332 Sincerely, Tom Wallroth

[issue17827] Document codecs.encode and codecs.decode

by Nick Coghlan

New submission from Nick Coghlan: The codecs module has long offered encode() and decode() convenience functions (since 2004: http://hg.python.org/cpython-fullhistory/rev/8ea2cb1ec598), but they're not documented (except through docstrings). We should fix that. >From the docstrings: ========== encode(obj, [encoding[,errors]]) -> object Encodes obj using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults to the default encoding. errors may be given to set a different error handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a ValueError. Other possible values are 'ignore', 'replace' and 'xmlcharrefreplace' as well as any other name registered with codecs.register_error that can handle ValueErrors. ========== decode(obj, [encoding[,errors]]) -> object Decodes obj using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults to the default encoding. errors may be given to set a different error handling scheme. Default is 'strict' meaning that encoding errors raise a ValueError. Other possible values are 'ignore' and 'replace' as well as any other name registered with codecs.register_error that is able to handle ValueErrors. ========== Note that the difference between the convenience functions in the codecs module and the methods on str, bytes and bytearray is that the latter have additional type checks to limit their usage to text encodings. str.encode expects a str->bytes conversion, while bytes.decode and bytearray.decode both expect the codec to produce a str object. codecs.encode and codecs.decode are both arbitrary object->object conversions, limited only by whatever the chosen codec supports. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 187700 nosy: docs@python, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Document codecs.encode and codecs.decode versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17827> _______________________________________

[issue19391] Fix PCbuild/readme.txt in 2.7 and 3.3

by Zachary Ware

New submission from Zachary Ware: As discussed in issue19273, here are a pair of patches that correct factual errors in PCbuild/readme.txt in both 2.7 and 3.3. The 3.3 patch makes the following changes: - Remove Win2k mentions, it is not supported (Tcl nmake command also adjusted) - MSVCRT9 -> MSVCRT10 - SQLite 3.7.4 -> 3.7.12, remove "(see below)" with nothing to see - .vcproj -> .vcxproj, all occurrences - _bz2.vcxproj isn't as magical as it was made out to be, and it can clean itself - nasmw -> nasm - Remove untrue part of Building for Itanium section - Update msdn link - .vsprops -> .props - Trim trailing space Due to the large number of lines in the diff due to trailing space, I'll also be attaching a patch created by `hg diff -w` for ease of review. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Windows files: pcbuild_readme-3.3.diff keywords: patch messages: 201253 nosy: brian.curtin, christian.heimes, docs@python, ezio.melotti, loewis, python-dev, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Fix PCbuild/readme.txt in 2.7 and 3.3 type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.3 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32354/pcbuild_readme-3.3.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19391> _______________________________________

[issue19485] Slightly incorrect doc for get_param method in Lib/email/message.py

by Vajrasky Kok

New submission from Vajrasky Kok: Lib/email/message.py, line 665 & 666: param = msg.get_param('foo') param = email.utils.collapse_rfc2231_value(rawparam) Where does rawparam come from? On top of that, sending the result of get_param to collapse_rfc2231_value can make it chokes if the result of get_param is None. I already proposed the change in collapse_rfc2231_value to handle None gracefully in another ticket #19063, though. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: fix_doc_get_param_in_email_message.patch keywords: patch messages: 202029 nosy: docs@python, vajrasky priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Slightly incorrect doc for get_param method in Lib/email/message.py versions: Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file32480/fix_doc_get_param_in_email_message.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19485> _______________________________________
