Speaking entirely from a point of ignorance, why are the source line #s not shown for frames that are implemented in modules loaded from zipimport? Assuming the ZIP archive could be exactly identical to … [View More]

Changes to logging in CVS
by Vinay Sajip March 2, 2003

March 2, 2003

I see that recent changes were made in logging/__init__.py to replace the use of "apply(func, args)" with "func(*args)". Doesn't this cause "invalid syntax" problems with 1.5.2? I explicitly coded using apply because I thought it was needed for 1.5.2. There are a few places where I've eschewed use of +=, for the same reason. Any chance we could change back to using apply()? Regards Vinay

Traceback problem
by Christian Tismer March 1, 2003

March 1, 2003

Hi py-dev, I got a problem report for Stackless today, that it seems to leak with tracebacks. After trying other Python versions, I found out that this is a "feature" of Python and not related to Stackless. The problem becomes only more visible, since people are keeping thousands of threads alive. Here the problem: When an exception has been raised in a frame, and it already is handled in an except clause, the exception is not cleared out from tstate and also stays alive in the frame object. … [View More]

syntax for funcion attributes
by Mark Nottingham March 1, 2003

March 1, 2003

Hello, I'm not a python-dev regular, so sorry if this is a FAQ. What's the status of defining a syntax for function attributes (PEP 232)? I'm using __doc__ to carry metadata about methods right now, but would very much like to use function attributes. However, without a specialized syntax, I'm stuck doing things like VeryLongMethodName.MetadataName = "foo" which is fine if it's a one-off, but I'd like others to use the code, and this isn't exactly a friendly mechanism. The proposals in the … [View More]
