Other SSL issues in the tracker have been marked
by Bill Janssen 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

I've gone through the other open SSL issues. Looks like some can be closed with the adoption of 1018 and 1024: 1027394 4 months ago socket.ssl should explain that it is a 2/3 connection 889813 4 months ago making the version of SSL configurable when creating sockets 1583946 9 months ago SSL "issuer" and "server" names cannot be parsed 783188 46 months ago support for server side transactions in _ssl Others are about various standard libraries that interact with SSL in various ways. I'm working on another patch that converts all the standard library modules over to use the new ssl module, and I'll look at the rest of the SSL-related bugs as part of that work. Bill

Re: [Python-Dev] new bug tracker broken?

It looks like you found the meta tracker rather than the python one. To reset your password for the main python tracker: http://bugs.python.org/user?@template=forgotten To report bugs, go here: http://bugs.python.org/ To register a new account, go here: http://bugs.python.org/user?@template=register Note, I'm not sure if you have an account, you might need to register. To report problems about the bug tracker (ie, not python problems), go here: http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/ n -- On 8/25/07, Bill Janssen <janssen(a)parc.com> wrote: > I've been trying to reset my password on the new RoundUp tracker, > and it isn't working.

New bug tracker is active now
by Martin von Löwis 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

We have completed the conversion to Roundup as the bug tracker for Python; the new tracker is now life at http://bugs.python.org/ It has all reports from the SourceForge tracker, along with all messages and files that had been attached. To edit bug reports, you still need to log in. We have migrated all account names from SF as-is, but obviously couldn't migrate the passwords as well. So you need to reset your password, through http://bugs.python.org/user?@template=forgotten Fill your SF account name in the bottom field, wait for an email, click on the link, wait for a second email, change your password to something you can remember. All SF project members have developer privileges in the roundup tracker. If you find problems with that bug tracker, follow the Report Tracker Link. This meta-tracker does *not* use the same accounts as the Python tracker. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Erik Forsberg, who really did the majority of the work involved in switching to roundup (along with various people helping out). Regards, Martin

new bug tracker broken?
by Bill Janssen 25 Aug '07

25 Aug '07

I've been trying to reset my password on the new RoundUp tracker, and it isn't working. Then I tried to register for a new account, and I got mail from metatracker(a)psf.upfronthosting.co.za to confirm. When I did, I got access to a small 27-issue tracker, which seems to be the bug-tracker for the bug-tracker. Still can't get into the Python bug-tracker. Bill

uuid creation not thread-safe?
by Guido van Rossum 24 Aug '07

24 Aug '07

I discovered what appears to be a thread-unsafety in uuid.py. This is in the trunk as well as in 3.x; I'm using the trunk here for easy reference. There's some code around like 395: import ctypes, ctypes.util _buffer = ctypes.create_string_buffer(16) This creates a *global* buffer which is used as the output parameter to later calls to _uuid_generate_random() and _uuid_generate_time(). For example, around line 481, in uuid1(): _uuid_generate_time(_buffer) return UUID(bytes=_buffer.raw) Clearly if two threads do this simultaneously they are overwriting _buffer in unpredictable order. There are a few other occurrences of this too. I find it somewhat disturbing that what seems a fairly innocent function that doesn't *appear* to have global state is nevertheless not thread-safe. Would it be wise to fix this, e.g. by allocating a fresh output buffer inside uuid1() and other callers? -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

PEP 302 optional extensions only for loaders?
by Brett Cannon 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

When you read PEP 302 and the section on the optional extensions, it mentions that they "are highly recommended for general purpose importers". But then the PEP says very shortly thereafter that "loader objects" are to have the extensions. So which is it, importers or loaders? The reason I ask is because if one can assume that the extensions are only called on what find_module returns, and thus extensions are only called on loaders, then some caching can be done based on what find_module had to do. In my case I am reimplementing zipimport and if I can assume find_module was called before is_package I can just cache in the object what module names were found to be a package and then have is_package just be a lookup in a set instead of having to read the zip file every time or store all of the ZipInfo files for the zipfile. -Brett
