Saving the hash value of tuples
by Noam Raphael April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

Hello, I've found out that the hash value of tuples isn't saved after it's calculated. With strings it's different: the hash value of a string is calculated only on the first call to hash(string), and saved in the structure for future use. Saving the value makes dict lookup of tuples an operation with an amortized cost of O(1). Saving the hash value means that if an item of the tuple changes its hash value, the hash value of the tuple won't be changed. I think it's ok, since: 1. Hash value … [View More]

Need Py3k group in trackers
by Guido van Rossum April 4, 2006

April 4, 2006

Could one of the tracker admins add a Python-3000 group to the SF trackers (while we're still using them :-)? This is so we can easily move proposals between Python 3000 and Python 2.x status. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Firefox searchbar engine for Python bugs
by Anthony Baxter April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

I've created a searchbar plugin for the firefox search bar that allows you to search bugs. I think someone created one for the sidebar, but this works in the searchbar at the top of the window. I gave up trying to knit the files into the new website builder, and so it can be found here: http://www.python.org/~anthony/searchbar/ If you can think of other useful searchbar plugins (Python Docs, maybe?) let me know and I'll look at creating them.

PEP to list externally maintained modules and where to report bugs?
by Brett Cannon April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

I reported some warnings I was getting for ctypes the other day and Martin said I should report it to ctypes. I now get a warning for sqlite on OS X 10.4 about INT32_MIN being redefined (I have stdint.h on my machine and that macro is being redefined in Modules/_sqlite/cursor.c instead of using the C99 version). Anyone else think we need a PEP to point to places where externally maintained code should have bugs or patches reported? I don't want to hunt down a URL for where to do this every … [View More]

SF #1462485 - StopIteration raised in body of 'with' statement suppressed
by Delaney, Timothy (Tim) April 3, 2006

April 3, 2006

Discovered this while playing around with the 2.5 released end of last week. Given: @contextmanager def gen(): print '__enter__' yield print '__exit__' with gen(): raise StopIteration('body') I would expect to get the StopIteration exception raised. Instead it's suppressed by the @contextmanager decorator. I think we should only suppress the exception if it's *not* the exception passed into gen.throw() i.e. it's raised by the generator. Does this sound like the correct … [View More]

Whole bunch of test failures on OSX

I'm not sure this is going to be all that helpful. If there's more I can do to help track down these problems, let me know. Last night I ran make test EXTRATESTOPTS='-R :: -uall -r' on my Mac laptop after a fresh svn up. I wasn't ready for how long that would run!
