unscriptable?
by Benjamin Peterson April 21, 2008

April 21, 2008

Consider this error: >>> 3["something"] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: 'int' object is unsubscriptable "unscriptable" seems rather ambiguous. How about "[object] cannot be indexed"? -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson

test_subprocess failing
by skip＠pobox.com April 20, 2008

April 20, 2008

test_subprocess failed in Neal's regression test overnight. My guess for the culprit would be Christian's checkin on Friday: r62386 | christian.heimes | 2008-04-18 21:23:57 -0500 (Fri, 18 Apr 2008) | 2 lines Added kill, terminate and send_signal to subprocess.Popen. The bits and pieces for the Windows side were already in place. The POSIX side is trivial (as usual) and uses os.kill(). Skip

Interface to change Py3kWarning in Python
by Benjamin Peterson April 19, 2008

April 19, 2008

I currently have a patch to make it possible to change py3k warnings in Python through new functions in sys: issue 2458. I realize the functions are rather ugly, but I don't think there is another practical way to do it unless you want to be writing PySys_GetObject and checking it for NULL whenever you add a Py3k warning. -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson

by Trent Nelson April 18, 2008

April 18, 2008

Following on from the success of previous sprint/bugfix weekends and sprinting efforts at PyCon 2008, I'd like to propose the next two Global Python Sprint Weekends take place on the following dates: * May 10th-11th (four days after 2.6a3 and 3.0a5 are released) * June 21st-22nd (~week before 2.6b2 and 3.0b2 are released) It seems there are a few of the Python User Groups keen on meeting up in person and sprinting collaboratively, akin to PyCon, which I … [View More]

string representation of range in 3.0
by Brad Miller April 17, 2008

April 17, 2008

Hi, I use Python in my CS1 and CS2 curriculum and I have a question. As I've been using the Python 3.0 alphas one of the things that I am bothered by is that I cannot see the sequence produced by range without introducing students to the list() function. I typically introduce range on day 1 of class and show students what it produces without making a big deal out of the fact that it creates a list. They all accept this and things work out nicely when I introduce lists for real in a … [View More]

Reading through Modules/mmapmodule.c to work on some documentation I encountered this: 24 #ifndef MS_WINDOWS 25 #define UNIX 26 #endif 536 #ifdef MS_WINDOWS 537 return PyInt_FromLong((long) FlushViewOfFile(self->data+offset, siz e)); 538 #elif defined(UNIX) 539 /* XXX semantics of return value? */ 540 /* XXX flags for msync? */ 541 if (-1 == msync(self->data + offset, size, MS_SYNC)) { 542 PyErr_SetFromErrno(… [View More]
