Triagers and checkin access to the devguide repository
by Nick Coghlan 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Given that some of the dev guide docs cover triaging and other aspects of managing issues on the tracker, does it make sense to offer devguide checkin access to triagers that want it? Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

Import and unicode: patch is ready for a review and tests
by Victor Stinner 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi, It looks like some people fear that non-ASCII module names will cause troubles for the interoperability: you can try my patch attached to issue #3080 to prevent these issues and fix all bugs :-) http://bugs.python.org/issue3080 I should maybe create a dummy Python project using non-ASCII module names to test it. I posted my patch on Rietveld: http://codereview.appspot.com/3972045 Victor

Import and unicode: part two
by Victor Stinner 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

Hi, I patched Python 3.2 to support modules with non-ASCII paths (*). It works well on all operating systems. But the task is not completly done: (a) Python 3 doesn't support non-ASCII module names (b) Python 3 doesn't support unencodable characters in the module path I would like to know if we need to support that. Terry J. Reedy wrote (issue #10828): "I think bugs in core syntax should have high priority. I appreciate your work toward fixing it." I wrote a patch (issue #3080) fixing both points. If you agree that both issues should be fixed, I will fix them in Python 3.3. (a) is the issue #10828 reported recently (january 2011): "import gui_jämföra" doesn't work with a locale encoding different than UTF-8 (so it doesn't work on Windows). (b) is specific to Windows: FAT32 and NTFS filesystems store filenames in unicode, but Python encodes paths to the ANSI code page (which is a very small subset of Unicode). If a character cannot be encoded to the code page, you cannot load a module. Eg. add a japanese character in a directory name on a Windows using cp1252 (english) code page. I don't think that (b) was already reported by an user, it's more a theorical problem. My patch is huge, but it simplifies the code. We doesn't need to regulary convert from/to UTF-8. And for the functions using PyUnicodeObject objects (and not a Py_UNICODE* buffer): PyUnicodeObject stores the string length (it avoids calls to strlen()) and PyUnicode_FromFormat() doesn't need a buffer size (no risk of buffer overflow). I suppose that it makes Python faster, but I didn't try. (*) Python 3.2 doesn't support non-ASCII in the module *name*, only in the path (sys.path). Victor Stinner
