context manager - generator interaction?
by Bob Sidebotham April 6, 2007

April 6, 2007

The interaction shown below feels like a bug, or at least very much a trap for the unwary. It's some sort of interaction between a context manager and a generator, both of which can raise StopIteration. The code is excised from a real application, so it's a bit artificial looking. Nevertheless, it represents an entirely natural evolution of some code (whereby the call to a context manager was added deep within the code). Since it seems to work with open as the context manager, but not with my … [View More]

branch is frozen for release of 2.5.1c1 (and 2.5.1)
by Anthony Baxter April 5, 2007

April 5, 2007

Please stay out of the 2.5 branch unless you're one of the release team - I'm cutting 2.5.1c1 at the moment. There will be a 2.5.1 final next week, assuming all goes well. If you have an urgent bugfix you need in, please post here and get someone to approve it before the checkin! Thanks, Anthony -- Anthony Baxter <anthony(a)interlink.com.au> It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Distutils and -framework on MacOSX
by Greg Ewing April 4, 2007

April 4, 2007

Has anyone found a way of persuading distutils to pass MacOSX -framework options properly when linking? Using extra_link_args doesn't work, because they need to be at the beginning of the command line to work properly, but extra_link_args gets put at the end. And extra_compile_args is only used when compiling, not linking. -- Greg

Re: [Python-Dev] test_socketserver flakey?
by Guido van Rossum April 4, 2007

April 4, 2007

I'm not sure I agree with your analysis -- the test that fails is using unix domain sockets, not TCP.

About SSL tests
by Facundo Batista April 4, 2007

April 4, 2007

There's this bug (#451607) about the needing of tests for socket SSL... Last interesting update in the tracker is five years ago, and since a lot of work has been done in test_socket_ssl.py (Brett, Neal, Tim, George Brandl). Do you think is useful to leave this bug opened? Regards, -- . Facundo . Blog: http://www.taniquetil.com.ar/plog/ PyAr: http://www.python.org/ar/
