fatal error callback issue
by Tom Whittock June 8, 2011

June 8, 2011

I'm writing in regards to http://bugs.python.org/issue1195571 I'm embedding Python in my application and ran into a need for this functionality. I wrote a similar patch myself, and was about to submit it. When I searched for similar issues I found that this one has been available since 2005. I'd really like to help get this patch approved and integrated into the python sources. I'm sure many other python embedders have run into this in the past - it's a legitimate concern for any process … [View More]

Byte filenames in the posix module on Windows
by Victor Stinner June 7, 2011

June 7, 2011

Hi, Last november, we "decided" (right?) to deprecate bytes filenames in the posix module on Windows in Python 3.2 and drop the support in 3.3: see "Removal of Win32 ANSI API" thread on python-dev. Python 3.2 has been released, so we should shift the versions numbers. I would like to take care of this. I propose three steps: 1) Remove the bytes implementation of each function (when the code is not shared with other OSes), decode bytes from MBCS and reuse the Unicode code. 2) Deprecate … [View More]

To whom it may concern: I am working on an ISO Annex of Vulnerabilities for the Python language and am asking for help getting a list of language features that exhibit: unspecified behavior, undefined behavior, or implementation defined behavior. I am also searching for a list of deprecated features. Guido (copied) had suggested I contact you folks for help as we are coming up on an ISO deadline and I have not been successful finding this information. Thanks very much in advance for your help! … [View More]

Buildbots and regrtest timeout
by Victor Stinner June 6, 2011

June 6, 2011

Hi, Stephan Krah asked me to change how the default timeout is defined for regrtest (issue #12250): "The implicit timeout in regrtest.py makes it harder to write automated test scripts for 3rd party modules. First, you have to remember to set --timeout=0 for long running tests. Then, you have to remember not to use the --timeout option when compiling --without-threads. I'd much prefer that there's no timeout unless explicitly specified. For the buildbots, I think this could be done in the … [View More]
