Issue #8863 adds a new PYTHONNOFAULTHANDLER environment variable

by Victor Stinner

Hi, In 2008, I proposed a patch to raise a Python exception on SIGSEVG signal. In some cases, it's possible to catch the exception, log it, and continue the execution. But because in some cases, the Python internal state is corrupted, the idea was rejected (see the issue #3999). Someone asked me to display the Python backtrace on SIGSEGV, instead of raising an exception. I implemented this idea in issue #8863. After 9 versions, I think that the patch is ready for inclusion. It catchs SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGBUS and SIGILL signals, and also display the Python backtrace on fatal errors. Because some operating systems have their own fault handler (eg. Ubuntu with apport), Dave Malcolm asked me to add an option disable the Python handler. That's why I added the PYTHONNOFAULTHANDLER environment variable (we all love long variable names!). For an OS vendor, it looks like an environment variable is more practical than a command line option. Eg. Mandriva sets PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE for the whole system. Raymond Hettinger asked me on IRC to write an email about the new environment variable, so here is the question: do you agree to add the new variable? Victor

(And I will > mention SSL, sorry Antoine). If you're only going to mention some vague "some builtins had minor changes", then I'm fine with that. If you're going to enumerate all such changes, that will be a bigger job. There were 2 such changes I'm aware of: str.format_map (#6081) and the addition of alternate ("#") formatting to float, complex and decimal (#7094) __format__ methods. For this announcement I don't think it's necessary to list them all.

phd.pp.ru => phdru.name

by Oleg Broytman

Hello! I need to inform people I'm changing my online identity. Domain phd.pp.ru will die Dec 27 (I'll try to reregister it to extend its life for a few months). My new personal domain will be phdru.name, primary email will be "phd" (in case one makes a mistake and write "phdru" two times - the address is an alias for "phd"). The new domain is already delegated, email and site works. I'm working on changing all my email subscriptions. Oleg. -- Oleg Broytman http://phd.pp.ru/ phd(a)phd.pp.ru Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

Search-friendly shortcuts for Windows?

by Nick Coghlan

Something I noticed after installing the 3.2 beta on my Windows 7 laptop is that the start menu shortcuts aren't particularly search friendly. Searching loses the heirarchical information, so attempting to directly locate "pyt" provides two separate "Python Command Line" shortcuts, with no indicator as to which one will start which version. Given the changing dynamics of the desktop launch menus to better support direct access as an alternative to hierarchical navigation, would it be reasonable to consider including the major version number in the start menu shortcut names? (Question is mainly for Martin, obviously, but I'm also curious if anyone else has encountered the same thing) Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
