Hello everyone! We have been encountering several deadlocks in a threaded Python application which calls subprocess.Popen (i.e. fork()) in some of its threads. This has occurred on Python 2.4.1 on a 2.4.27 Linux kernel. Preliminary analysis of the hang shows that the child process blocks upon entering the execvp function, in which the import_lock is acquired due to the following line: def _ execvpe(file, args, env=None): from errno import ENOENT, ENOTDIR ... It is known that when forking from a pthreaded application, acquisition attempts on locks which were already locked by other threads while fork() was called will deadlock. Due to these oddities we were wondering if it would be better to extract the above import line from the execvpe call, to prevent lock acquisition attempts in such cases. Another workaround could be re-assigning a new lock to import_lock (such a thing is done with the global interpreter lock) at PyOS_AfterFork or pthread_atfork. We'd appreciate any opinions you might have on the subject. Thanks in advance, Yair and Rotem

I assume you are using signals in your application? The os.read above is not the only system call that can fail with EINTR. subprocess.py is full of other system calls that can fail, and I suspect that many other Python modules are as well. I've made a patch (attached) to subprocess.py (and test_subprocess.py) that should guard against EINTR, but I haven't committed it yet. It's quite large. Are Python modules supposed to handle EINTR? Why not let the C code handle this? Or, perhaps the signal module should provide a sigaction function, so that users can use SA_RESTART.

E.g.:: That's not the problem, it's that the code that writes the PKG-INFO file doesn't handle Unicode. See distutils.dist.DistributionMetadata.write_pkg_info(). It needs to use a file with encoding support, if it's doing unicode However, there's currently no standard, as far as I know, for what encoding the PKG-INFO file should use. Meanwhile, the 'register' command accepts Unicode, but is broken in handling it. Essentially, the problem is that Python 2.5 broke this by adding a unicode *requirement* to the "register" command. Previously, register simply sent whatever you gave it, and the PKG-INFO writing code still does. Unfortunately, this means that there is no longer any one value that you can use for your name that will be accepted by both "register" and anything that writes a PKG-INFO file. Both register and write_pkg_info() are arguably broken here, and should be able to work with either strings or unicode, and degrade gracefully in the event of non-ASCII characters in a string. (Because even though "register" is only run by the package's author, users may run other commands that require a PKG-INFO, so a package prepared using Python <2.5 must still be usable with Python 2.5 distutils, and Python <2.5 allows 8-bit maintainer names.) Unfortunately, this isn't fixable until there's a new 2.5.x release. For previous Python versions, both register and write_pkg_info() accepted 8-bit strings and passed them on as-is, so the only workaround for this issue at the moment is to revert to Python 2.4 or less.

Python + Java Integration

by Chas Emerick

This may seem like it's coming out of left field for a minute, but bear with me. There is no doubt that Ruby's success is a concern for anyone who sees it as diminishing Python's status. One of the reasons for Ruby's success is certainly the notion (originally advocated by Bruce Tate, if I'm not mistaken) that it is the "next Java" -- the language and environment that mainstream Java developers are, or will, look to as a natural next step. One thing that would help Python in this "debate" (or, perhaps simply put it in the running, at least as a "next Java" candidate) would be if Python had an easier migration path for Java developers that currently rely upon various third-party libraries. The wealth of third-party libraries available for Java has always been one of its great strengths. Ergo, if Python had an easy-to-use, recommended way to use those libraries within the Python environment, that would be a significant advantage to present to Java developers and those who would choose Ruby over Java. Platform compatibility is always a huge motivator for those looking to migrate or upgrade. In that vein, I would point to JPype (http://jpype.sourceforge.net). JPype is a module that gives "python programs full access to java class libraries". My suggestion would be to either: (a) include JPype in the standard library, or barring that, (b) make a very strong push to support JPype (a) might be difficult or cumbersome technically, as JPype does need to build against Java headers, which may or may not be possible given the way that Python is distributed, etc. However, (b) is very feasible. I can't really say what "supporting JPype" means exactly -- maybe GvR and/or other heavyweights in the Python community make public statements regarding its existence and functionality, maybe JPype gets a strong mention or placement on python.org....all those details are obviously not up to me, and I don't know the workings of the "official" Python organizations enough to make serious suggestions. Regardless of the form of support, I think raising people's awareness of JPype and what it adds to the Python environment would be a Good Thing (tm). For our part, we've used JPype to make PDFTextStream (our previously Java-only PDF text extraction library) available and supported for Python. You can read some about it here: http://snowtide.com/PDFTextStream.Python And I've blogged about how PDFTextStream.Python came about, and how we worked with Steve Ménard, the maintainer of JPype, to make it all happen (watch out for this URL wrapping): http://blog.snowtide.com/2006/08/21/working-together-pythonjava-open- sourcecommercial Cheers, Chas Emerick Founder, Snowtide Informatics Systems Enterprise-class PDF content extraction cemerick(a)snowtide.com http://snowtide.com | +1 413.519.6365

Making builtins more efficient

by Steven Elliott

I'm interested in how builtins could be more efficient. I've read over some of the PEPs having to do with making global variables more efficient (search for "global"): http://www.python.org/doc/essays/pepparade.html But I think the problem can be simplified by focusing strictly on builtins. One of my assumptions is that only a small fractions of modules override the default builtins with something like: import mybuiltins __builtins__ = mybuiltins As you probably know each access of a builtin requires two hash table lookups. First, the builtin is not found in the list of globals. It is then found in the list of builtins. Why not have a means of referencing the default builtins with some sort of index the way the LOAD_FAST op code currently works? In other words, by default each module gets the default set of builtins indexed (where the index indexes into an array) in a certain order. The version stored in the pyc file would be bumped each time the set of default builtins is changed. I don't have very strong feelings whether things like True = (1 == 1) would be a syntax error, but assigning to a builtin could just do the equivalent of STORE_FAST. I also don't have very strong feelings about whether the array of default builtins would be shared between modules. To simulate the current behavior where attempting to assign to builtin actually alters that module's global hashtable a separate array of builtins could be used for each module. As to assigning to __builtins__ (like I mentioned at the beginning of this post) perhaps it could assign to the builtin array for those items that have a name that matches a default builtin (such as "True" or "len"). Those items that don't match a default builtin would just create global variables. Perhaps what I'm suggesting isn't feasible for reasons that have already been discussed. But it seems like it should be possible to make "while True" as efficient as "while 1". -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Steven Elliott | selliott4(a)austin.rr.com | -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Py2.6 ideas

by Raymond Hettinger

* Teach vars() to work with classes defining __slots__. Essentially, __slots__ are just an implementation detail designed to make instances a bit more compact. * Make the docstring writable for staticmethods, classmethods, and properties. We did this for function objects and it worked-out well. * Have staticmethods and classmethods automatically fill-in a docstring from the wrapped function. An editor's tooltips would benefit nicely. * Add a pure python named_tuple class to the collections module. I've been using the class for about a year and found that it greatly improves the usability of tuples as records. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/500261 * Give builtin types a __name__ attribute so that we have a uniform way of accessing type names. * Enhance doctest with a method that computes updated doctest results. If the only change I make to a matrix suite is to add commas to long numbers in the matrix repr(), then it would be nice to have an automated way to update the matrix output on all the other test cases in the module. * add an optional position argument to heapq.heapreplace to allow an arbitrary element to be updated in-place and then have the heap condition restored. I've now encountered three separate parties trying to figure-out how to do this.

Python-3000 upgrade path

by Thomas Wouters

I'm sending this to python-dev instead of python-3000 for two reasons: It's not about features to be added to Python 3.0, and it's not really about 3.0at all -- it's about 2.6 and later. It's about how we get Python 2.x to 3.0, and howmuch of 3.0we put into 2.6 and later. So here at PyCon, Guido did his usual talk about Py3K and how it's going to look. He also covered the tool he's writing to do the necessary syntactic translations, and short bits about how to write code to accommodate the other changes. One thing Guido didn't cover -- because it isn't his area of expertise and (correctly) expects others to step up and do it -- is the upgrade path for third party Python applications and libraries. I happen to care a lot about that, and so do a few other core Python developers, and we *will* make it happen in the smoothest way possible. We could use some community guidance on this, though. Here's my current thinking on the subject (and I talked about this with a couple of different people at the conference and in email): 1) Anything we can backport from Python 3.0 to Python 2.6 without breaking existing code, will be backported. So far, this means all the new features. 2) A few of the things going away in 3.0 will be warned about in 2.6 by default: things that have had better alternative for ages and are generally bad: backticks and input() are the only ones that come to mind right now. 3) The rest of the things that will change or go away in 3.0 *and* have alternatives in 2.6 will be warned about optionally. Neal is rewriting the warnings module to C, which should speed up warning generation a lot, and if necessary we'll use a global 'warn-for-py3k' flag to reduce the overhead for these warnings to the absolute minimum. 4) The new features of 3.0 that we can't backport (things changing semantics, instead of being added or going away) will be made available in 2.6 (as much as possible), using future statements. Right now, I cannot think of a single thing that cannot be made available that way. They will be, in essence, backward-compatibility hacks, but they'll work and the performance impact will be minimal. Of course, 4 is somewhat of a sweeping statement, even with the parenthesised reservation, considering some of the 3.0 features haven't been implemented yet. I'm pretty confident we can do this without comprimising 3.0, though. If we cannot, we might need to add an extra 'migration feature' in Python 2.7, or 2.8 or even 2.9 (but as it is now, I'm not sure that's specifically necessary. We may still want to release Python 2.7 and later for other reasons, of course.) The end result will be that you can write your Python code so it works in 2.6-or-later and 3.0, or -- just like now -- in 2.x-or-later (where 'x' depends on the features you use) but not 3.0. If you write careful code, you may get away with writing 2.2-or-later code that can be run in 3.0 with a single translation run. It will be fairly unlikely you can write code for 2.5-or-earlier *and* 3.0 without using the translation step, unless you live in a world blissfully unaware of anything non-ASCII. In any case, while we aren't working to make that possible, we certainly won't go out of the way to prevent it (but there still won't be any compromises in the 3.0 language just for code compatibility.) As I said, I've talked with a few people about this, both python core developers and people who develop their own software. I would like to hear from people who have concrete doubts about this upgrade path. I don't mean doubts about Python 3.0 -- this mail isn't about 3.0 at all, and I can only suggest you try out the py3k branch when the dubious feature(s) are implemented. I also don't mean doubts about how we're going to keep the performance impact minimal or how we're going to handle dict views and what not. I mean doubts about this procedure of having transitional releases between 2.5 and 3.0, and the *community* impact of 2.6+ and 3.0 this way. One thing in particular I wonder about is the warning about mixing tabs and spaces. Should it be in category 2) (on by default) or 3) (still off by default, but part of -Wpy3k)? -- Thomas Wouters <thomas(a)python.org> Hi!

Renaming Include/object.h

In #1626545, Anton Tropashko requests that object.h should be renamed, because it causes conflicts with other software. I would like to comply with this requests for 2.6, assuming there shouldn't be many problems with existing software as object.h shouldn't be included directly, anyway. What do you think?

cross-compile patches

by Han-Wen Nienhuys

Hello all, A couple of weeks ago, I posted a collection of patches to Python 2.5 on SF.net (#1597850) that enable python to be cross-compiled using standard tools (ie. configure and environment settings), among others on Linux/Darwin to Mingw32/Linux/Freebsd. In response to Martin v Loewis' initial reply we have sent in contributor agreements, but nothing else has happened so far. I was wondering whether there is any way for me to speed up the review process. For example, I could post each patch separately and/or prepare patches to Python SVN. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen(a)xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
