How old Python version should be supported in tests?
by Serhiy Storchaka 27 Dec '12

27 Dec '12

I found a code like "if sys.version_info < (2, 4):" in some tests. Should old versions (< 2.6) be supported in tests? Can such support code be removed (note that other tests likely doesn't compatible with old versions)?

Raising OSError concrete classes from errno code
by Andrew Svetlov 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Currently we have exception tree of classes inherited from OSError When we use C API we can call PyErr_SetFromErrno and PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename[Object] functions. This ones raise concrete exception class (FileNotFoundError for example) looking on implicit errno value. I cannot see the way to do it from python. Maybe adding builtin like exception_from_errno(errno, filename=None) make some value? Function returns exception instance, concrete class depends of errno value For example if I've got EPOLLERR from poller call I can get error code via s.getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR) but I cannot raise concrete exception from given errno code. -- Thanks, Andrew Svetlov

PEP 3145 (With Contents)
by Eric Pruitt 25 Dec '12

25 Dec '12

Alright, I will re-submit with the contents pasted. I never use double backquotes as I think them rather ugly; that is the work of an editor or some automated program in the chain. Plus, it also messed up my line formatting and now I have lines with one word on them... Anyway, the contents of PEP 3145: PEP: 3145 Title: Asynchronous I/O For subprocess.Popen Author: (James) Eric Pruitt, Charles R. McCreary, Josiah Carlson Type: Standards Track Content-Type: text/plain Created: 04-Aug-2009 Python-Version: 3.2 Abstract: In its present form, the subprocess.Popen implementation is prone to dead-locking and blocking of the parent Python script while waiting on data from the child process. Motivation: A search for "python asynchronous subprocess" will turn up numerous accounts of people wanting to execute a child process and communicate with it from time to time reading only the data that is available instead of blocking to wait for the program to produce data [1] [2] [3]. The current behavior of the subprocess module is that when a user sends or receives data via the stdin, stderr and stdout file objects, dead locks are common and documented [4] [5]. While communicate can be used to alleviate some of the buffering issues, it will still cause the parent process to block while attempting to read data when none is available to be read from the child process. Rationale: There is a documented need for asynchronous, non-blocking functionality in subprocess.Popen [6] [7] [2] [3]. Inclusion of the code would improve the utility of the Python standard library that can be used on Unix based and Windows builds of Python. Practically every I/O object in Python has a file-like wrapper of some sort. Sockets already act as such and for strings there is StringIO. Popen can be made to act like a file by simply using the methods attached the the subprocess.Popen.stderr, stdout and stdin file-like objects. But when using the read and write methods of those options, you do not have the benefit of asynchronous I/O. In the proposed solution the wrapper wraps the asynchronous methods to mimic a file object. Reference Implementation: I have been maintaining a Google Code repository that contains all of my changes including tests and documentation [9] as well as blog detailing the problems I have come across in the development process [10]. I have been working on implementing non-blocking asynchronous I/O in the subprocess.Popen module as well as a wrapper class for subprocess.Popen that makes it so that an executed process can take the place of a file by duplicating all of the methods and attributes that file objects have. There are two base functions that have been added to the subprocess.Popen class: Popen.send and Popen._recv, each with two separate implementations, one for Windows and one for Unix based systems. The Windows implementation uses ctypes to access the functions needed to control pipes in the kernel 32 DLL in an asynchronous manner. On Unix based systems, the Python interface for file control serves the same purpose. The different implementations of Popen.send and Popen._recv have identical arguments to make code that uses these functions work across multiple platforms. When calling the Popen._recv function, it requires the pipe name be passed as an argument so there exists the Popen.recv function that passes selects stdout as the pipe for Popen._recv by default. Popen.recv_err selects stderr as the pipe by default. "Popen.recv" and "Popen.recv_err" are much easier to read and understand than "Popen._recv('stdout' ..." and "Popen._recv('stderr' ..." respectively. Since the Popen._recv function does not wait on data to be produced before returning a value, it may return empty bytes. Popen.asyncread handles this issue by returning all data read over a given time interval. The ProcessIOWrapper class uses the asyncread and asyncwrite functions to allow a process to act like a file so that there are no blocking issues that can arise from using the stdout and stdin file objects produced from a subprocess.Popen call.

Is it possible to switch into the context of a child-process, spawned by "subprocess" module?
by Ajay Garg 24 Dec '12

24 Dec '12

Hi all. This is more of knowing whether something is possible in the core python architecture; hence the question to this mailing-list :) I have a situation where I am spawning a child process via "subprocess" module. This child process is equivalent to the process that would have been created, if I had run a vanilla python-script in another shell. In this (new) (child) process, new objects are instantiated, and methods get called on those objects as usual. Now, what I need is to somehow switch into this (new) (child) process from the current (parent) process, and be able to call methods-on-the-objects-of-the-child-process. Also, please note that since the child process contains GUI, I intend to have the results of calling the methods-on-the-objects-of-the-child-process being effective on the child-process GUI. Is it possible? Or am I trying to achieve something impossible as per python-core-architecture? I will be thankful for any pointers regarding this. Regards, Ajay
