Adding a token
by Greg Ewing Aug. 10, 2010

Aug. 10, 2010

I'm trying to add a '?' token to the parser, and weird things are happening. I've added a #define to token.h, an entry to _PyParser_TokenNames in tokenizer.c and case for it in PyToken_OneChar(). But it's behaving as though the tokenizer is not recognising my token. I put in some printfs to find out whether PyToken_OneChar() is recognising it. The results are confusing: while running pgen, PyToken_OneChar() is being called and recognising the new token correctly. However, it doesn't seem to … [View More]

Benjamin suggested to call this detach() instead. What do you think? Thanks Antoine.

Bug in 3.1.2 site.py
by Greg Ewing Aug. 9, 2010

Aug. 9, 2010

I think I've found a bug in the site.py of 3.1.2. The following piece of code tries to make the modules that are normally installed under lib-dynload available when running from the build directory: """Append ./build/lib.<platform> in case we're running in the build dir (especially for Guido :-)""" from distutils.util import get_platform s = "build/lib.%s-%.3s" % (get_platform(), sys.version) if hasattr(sys, 'gettotalrefcount'): s += '-pydebug' s = … [View More]

Return code when there's a problem at shutdown
by Antoine Pitrou Aug. 8, 2010

Aug. 8, 2010

Hello, In issue #5319, the poster complains that redirecting stdout to a misbehaving (pseudo-)file such as /dev/full should produce a non-zero error code when the IO error happens at shutdown (when calling flush() on stdout). Is it a reasonable expectation? What would you think of making the change? (it would require giving a return value to Py_Finalize(), which currently returns nothing) Regards Antoine.

Was Tracker Summary sent Fri Aug 6?\

Aug. 8, 2010

The usual Friday Summary of Python Trackers Issues did not appear on Gmane. Was one generated? Or did it just fail to make it to gmane? I use to to review new issues, so even late would be better than never. -- Terry Jan Reedy

builtin round 2.7
by Kristján Valur Jónsson Aug. 7, 2010

Aug. 7, 2010

Hi there. I just hit a problem in my company, in the process of upgrading from stackless 2.5 to 2.7. Some rounding code, that was (foolishly) using "%.*f" string formatting to achieve floating point rounding started providing different results from before. I explained this away to QA and Developement as a) you shouldn't do that, and b) string representation of floats became better and "more correct" in 2.7. For UI rounding, I directed them to the Decimal module. So far so good. But it … [View More]
