Installing Python 2.6 alpha1 on Windows XP
by Gregor Lingl 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Hi Paul, thanks for you efforts, but up to now it still didn't work. I'm using Windows XP Professional (32 bit). I tried an install on two different machines with the same negative result. I proceeded like you suggested. - I installed for all users, - I disabled the register extensions When doing the same call to execute idle as you, I got the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 6, in <module> import PyShell File "c:\Python26\Lib\idlelib\PyShell.py", line 9, in <module> import socket File "c:\Python26\Lib\socket.py", line 46, in <module> import _socket ImportError: DLL load failed: <in German: system cannot find this file> I get a similar error message, when I do from turtle import * with ... import _tkinter Import Error. DLL load failed .... sys.path is exactly like yours. (So the DLLs directory is contained in sys.path) _tkinter.pyd and _socket.pyd are present in DLLs. I've installed Python 2.5 on both machines. On the first one I moreover deleted all entries concerning Python (2.5) from the PATH variable, with no positive effect. On the other machine I have also installed Python 3000 successfully, which even still doesn't have IDLE in it's Menu. Nevertheless there C:\Python30> python Lib\idlelib\idle.py brings up IDLE 3.0a1 (and I even can import and use a port of xturtle.py to Python 3000 there). I never experienced a similar Problem before when installing Python. Any ideas? Regards, Gregor

PyErr_Warn or PyErr_WarnEx
by Benjamin Peterson 19 Mar '08

19 Mar '08

Now that we're aggressively adding Py3k warnings to the trunk, I think it's a good time to get this straightened out. The docs [1] say PyErr_Warn is deprecated in favor of PyErr_WarnEx. However, I have seen both in recent checkins. What is preferred? [1] http://docs.python.org/dev/c-api/exceptions.html Cheers, Benjamin Peterson

embedding in multi threaded C/C++
by George Fazekas 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Hi all, I'm working on embedding Python in a multi threaded application but found mostly old or confusing info on this. Can anyone point me to the right direction or send some working examples? Detail: Python 2.5.1, MacOSX Leopard 10.5.1, using Pytohn/C API The application initializes Python in a shared library, which in turn links in more libraries that may or may not use C API commands in parallel. Generally it all works fine, but when two libraries try to access Python code I get seg fault or similar. The closest I got to resolve this is based on this message: http://groups.google.fi/group/comp.lang.python/msg/fe4e114d1e1a741d which suggests starting a new sub interpreter for each task. However, i still get errors like below. (Thread 0 on it's own works fine.) According to the docs PyObject_HasAttrString should always succeeds so I don't understand what happens. Also I get thread mix-up messages randomly even though I double checked the implementation. 2 Threads accessing Python: ------------------------------- Thread 0 Crashed: 0 org.python.python 0x15a58bcc PyErr_Occurred + 16 (errors.c:77) 1 org.python.python 0x159c642c instance_getattr + 277 (classobject.c:698) 2 org.python.python 0x159f789b PyObject_HasAttrString + 116 (object.c:1069) While Thread 4 is running a process: ---------------------------------------- Thread 4: 0 org.python.python 0x15a43751 PyEval_EvalFrameEx + 794 (ceval.c:852) 1 org.python.python 0x15a49cdc PyEval_EvalCodeEx + 1819 (ceval.c:2831) 2 org.python.python 0x159df537 function_call + 320 (funcobject.c:517) 3 org.python.python 0x159be278 PyObject_Call + 45 (abstract.c:1860) 4 org.python.python 0x159c5ee5 instancemethod_call + 401 (classobject.c:2497) 5 org.python.python 0x159c297c PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs + 223 (abstract.c:1860) Thanks for any advice, George

pre-checkin test suggestion for python repository
by Gregory P. Smith 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

The tabs/spaces checker that is run before doing a svn ci on the python repository spits out an error message about which files have problems. Could someone please update this error message to say something to the effect of "run Tools/scripts/reindent.py on every file listed above and rerun your tests to fix this before checking in" thanks -gps

Bug in Pickle protocol involving __setstate__
by Greg Kochanski 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

If we have a hierarchy of classes, and we use __getstate__/__setstate__, the wrong version of __setstate__ gets called. Possibly, this is a documentation problem, but here goes: Take two classes, A and B, where B is the child of A. Construct a B. Pickle it. Unpickle it, and you find that the __setstate__ function for A is called with the result produced by B.__getstate__(). This is wrong. An example follows: import pickle as P class A(object): def __init__(self, a): print 'A.__init__' self.a = a def __getstate__(self): print 'A.__getstate' return self.a def __setstate__(self, upstate): print 'A.__setstate', upstate self.a = upstate class B(A): def __init__(self, a, b): print 'B.__init__' A.__init__(self, a) self.b = b def __getstate__(self): print 'B.__getstate' return (A.__getstate__(self), self.b) def __setstate(self, upstate): # This never gets called! print 'B.__setstate', upstate A.__setstate__(self, upstate[0]) self.b = upstate[1] def __repr__(self): return '<B a=%d b=%d>' % (self.a, self.b) q = B(1,2) print '---' r = P.loads(P.dumps(q, 0)) print 'q=', q print 'r=', r Now, run it: $ python foo.py B.__init__ A.__init__ --- B.__getstate A.__getstate A.__setstate (1, 2) q= <B a=1 b=2, h=46912504218064> r= Traceback (most recent call last): File "foo.py", line 44, in <module> print 'r=', r File "foo.py", line 37, in __repr__ return '<B a=%d b=%d>' % (self.a, self.b) AttributeError: 'B' object has no attribute 'b' $
