build problem on windows: unable to find getbuildinfo2.c
by Raghuram Devarakonda April 13, 2007

April 13, 2007

Hi, I am trying to build latest python on Windows XP and ran into the following error: "c1 : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '.\getbuildinfo2.c': No such file or directory" I am using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition to build. I opened "PCbuilld8/pcbuild.sln" and did a "release" build of "pythoncore". I didn't find getbuildinfo2.c in the source. Can some one tell me if I am missing some thing here? Are there any additional steps need to follow on windows? Thanks, Raghu.

minidom and DOM level 2
by Jason Orendorff April 13, 2007

April 13, 2007

The lib ref claims that minidom supports DOM Level 1. Does anyone know what parts of Level 2 are not implemented? I wasn't able to find anything offhand. It seems to be more a matter of what's not documented, or what's not covered by the regression tests. So. I'd be happy to do some diffing between the implementation, documentation, tests, and the Recommendation, and submit patches for whatever needs it. If anyone thinks that's worthwhile. Anyone? -j

HTTP responses and errors
by Facundo Batista April 12, 2007

April 12, 2007

urllib2.py, after receiving an HTTP response, decides if it was an error and raises an Exception, or it just returns the info. For example, you make ``urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com")``. If you receive 200, it's ok; if you receive 500, you get an exception raised. How it decides? Function HTTPErrorProcessor, line 490, actually says: class HTTPErrorProcessor(BaseHandler): ... if code not in (200, 206): # it prepares an error response ... Why only … [View More]

Python 2.5.1c1 pickle problem
by Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve April 11, 2007

April 11, 2007

When pickling instances of an object derived from dict, the pickle in Python 2.5.1c1 calls the object's __getitem__() method. In contrast, earlier versions of Python incl. 2.5 don't call that method. Below is a minimal example with outputs. Is the difference in behavior an oversight or new feature? I couldn't find anything directly related in the release notes. The difference in behavior breaks some of our code. Thanks! Ralf class user(dict): def __getitem__(self, key): print "GETITEM", … [View More]

Py2.5.1 release candidate
by Raymond Hettinger April 11, 2007

April 11, 2007

It looks like the release candidate has been held-up for a bit. If it is going to stay held-up for a few days, can we unfreeze it so some bugfixes can go in (fixing the +0/-0 problem, eliminating some segfaults, and fixing some exception code)? Raymond
