[issue32554] random seed is not consistent when using tuples with a str element
by STINNER Victor 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner(a)gmail.com> added the comment: random.seed(str) uses: if version == 2 and isinstance(a, (str, bytes, bytearray)): if isinstance(a, str): a = a.encode() a += _sha512(a).digest() a = int.from_bytes(a, 'big') Whereas for other types, random.seed(obj) uses hash(obj), and hash is randomized by default in Python 3. Yeah, the random.seed() documentation should describe the implementation and explain that hash(obj) is used and that the hash function is randomized by default: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/random.html#random.seed ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation nosy: +docs@python, mark.dickinson, rhettinger, vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32554> _______________________________________

[issue26330] shutil.disk_usage() on Windows can't properly handle unicode
by Eryk Sun 14 Jan '18

14 Jan '18

Eryk Sun <eryksun(a)gmail.com> added the comment: This is the high-level shutil module, so why not try to use the resolved parent directory? For example: def disk_usage(path): try: total, free = nt._getdiskusage(path) except NotADirectoryError: path = os.path.dirname(nt._getfinalpathname(path)) total, free = nt._getdiskusage(path) used = total - free return _ntuple_diskusage(total, used, free) Also, as noted in msg260022, nt._getdiskusage was overlooked when implementing PEP 529. The same applies to nt._getfinalpathname and nt._getvolumepathname. nt._getfullpathname works with bytes because it takes an argument-clinic `path_t` instead of `unicode` or `Py_UNICODE`. I think the other 3 should be rewritten to use path_t, but it's out of scope for this issue. ---------- nosy: +eryksun _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue26330> _______________________________________
