vs2005 Project Patch and Configuration Inquiry
by Joseph Armbruster 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

All, As per the removal of the rgbimgmodule due to deprecation in the trunk: http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk ---Begin SVN log--- r55458 | brett.cannon | 2007-05-20 03:09:50 -0400 (Sun, 20 May 2007) | 2 lines Remove the rgbimg module. It has been deprecated since Python 2.5. ---End SVN log--- The PCbuild8 solution needs to be corrected. A patch is attached. In addition, I noticed that under C++/Advanced Properties, all the configurations appear to be set to "Compile as C++ Code" with the /TP argument. Should these be set to "Compile as C Code" with the /TC argument?

svn viewer confused
by Jim Jewett 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

Choosing a revision, such as http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Objects/?rev=55606&sortby=date&view… does not lead to the correct generated page; it either times out or generates a much older changelog.

What exception should Thread.start() raise?
by BJörn Lindqvist 04 Jun '07

04 Jun '07

The threading module contains buggy code: class Thread(_Verbose): ... def start(self): assert self.__initialized, "Thread.__init__() not called" assert not self.__started, "thread already started" ... If you run such code with python -O, weird stuff may happen when you call mythread.start() multiple times. -O removes assert statements so the code won't fail with an AssertionError which would be expected. So what real exception should Thread.start() raise? I have suggested adding an IllegalStateError modelled after java's IllegalStateException, but that idea was rejected. So what exception should be raised here, is it a RuntimeError? -- mvh Björn

Substantial rewrite of PEP 3101
by Talin 03 Jun '07

03 Jun '07

I've rewritten large portions of PEP 3101, incorporating some material from Patrick Maupin and Eric Smith, as well as rethinking the whole custom formatter design. Although it isn't showing up on the web site yet, you can view the copy in subversion (and the diffs) here: http://svn.python.org/view/peps/trunk/pep-3101.txt Please let me know of any errors you find, either by mailing me directly, or replying to the topic in Python-3000. (I.e. lets not start a thread here.) -- Talin

failures in test_sqlite when entire test suite run
by Brett Cannon 02 Jun '07

02 Jun '07

I have been getting failures from test_sqlite off the trunk when I run the entire test suite (as ``./python.exe Lib/test/regrtest.py``) with this error on OS X 10.4.9 and sqlite3 3.3.16: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/drifty/Dev/python/2.x/pristine/Lib/sqlite3/test/regression.py", line 29, in setUp self.con = sqlite.connect(":memory:") ProgrammingError: library routine called out of sequence When run in isolation it is fine. Anyone have a guess as to what is going on? -Brett

01 Jun '07

There is an entry in "Core and builtins" section of Misc/NEWS: "Bug #1722484: remove docstrings again when running with -OO.". The actual bug is 1722485. Incidentally, 1722484 appears to be spam.
