Bug tracker: meaning of resolution keywords
by Christian Heimes Nov. 11, 2007

Nov. 11, 2007

Hello! Guido has granted me committer privileges to svn.python.org and bugs.python.org about a week ago. So I'm new and new people tend to make mistakes until they've learned the specific rules of a project. Today I've learned that the resolution keyword "accepted" doesn't mean the bug report is accepted. It only means a patch for the bug is accepted. In the past I've used "accepted" in the meaning of "bug is confirmed" in my own projects. In my ignorance I've used it in the same way to mark … [View More]

Declaring setters with getters
by Guido van Rossum Nov. 10, 2007

Nov. 10, 2007

I've come up with a relatively unobtrusive pattern for defining setters. Given the following definition: def propset(prop): assert isinstance(prop, property) def helper(func): return property(prop.__get__, func, func, prop.__doc__) return helper we can declare getters and setters as follows: class C(object): _encoding = None @property def encoding(self): return self._encoding @propset(encoding) def encoding(self, value=None): if … [View More]

hex() and oct() still include the trailing L - change this in 2.6?
by Gregory P. Smith Nov. 9, 2007

Nov. 9, 2007

I thought the hell of stripping trailing Ls off of stringed numbers was gone but it appears that the hex() and oct() builtins still leave the trailing 'L' on longs: Python 2.6a0 (trunk:58846M, Nov 4 2007, 15:44:12) [GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> x = 0xffffffffc10025be >>> x 18446744072652596670L >>> str(x) '18446744072652596670' >>> hex(x) '0xffffffffc10025beL' >… [View More]

Request for inclusion in 2.5.2 (5-for-1)
by Mike Klaas Nov. 7, 2007

Nov. 7, 2007

Issue http://bugs.python.org/issue1663329 details an annoyance in the subprocess module that has affected several users, including me. Essentially, closing hundreds of thousands of file descriptors by round-tripping through the python exception machinery is very slow, taking hundreds of milliseconds and at times many seconds. The proposed fix is to write this loop in c. The c function is but a handful of lines long. I purposefully kept the implementation trivial so that it … [View More]
