unsupported doctest directives in Doc/library/ctypes.rst
by Chris Jerdonek Sept. 13, 2012

Sept. 13, 2012

In the process of studying the global state of our doctests, I noticed that the doctests in Doc/library/ctypes.rst use the following doctest directives: # doctest: +LINUX # doctest: +WINDOWS However, I'm not able to find evidence that these directives are implemented anywhere. Thus I get an error like the following when trying to parse the file using doctest: "ValueError: line 55 of the doctest for ctypes.rst has an invalid option: '+WINDOWS'" The reST file says this towards the top: "… [View More]

Release of astoptimizer 0.3
by Victor Stinner Sept. 12, 2012

Sept. 12, 2012

Hi, Here are some progress on my astoptimizer project. If you are interested by the optimizer, run it on your own project or help me to implement more optimizations. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/astoptimizer https://bitbucket.org/haypo/astoptimizer --- The last version (0.3) works on Python 2.6-3.3 and implements the following optimizations: * Call builtin functions if arguments are constants. Examples: - len("abc") => 3 - ord("A") => 65 * Call methods of builtin types if the … [View More]object and arguments are constants. Examples: - u"h\\xe9ho".encode("utf-8") => b"h\\xc3\\xa9ho" - "python2.7".startswith("python") => True - (32).bit_length() => 6 - float.fromhex("0x1.8p+0") => 1.5 * Call functions of math and string modules for functions without border effect. Examples: - math.log(32) / math.log(2) => 5.0 - string.atoi("5") => 5 * Format strings for str%args and print(arg1, arg2, ...) if arguments are constants and the format string is valid. Examples: - "x=%s" % 5 => "x=5" - print(1.5) => print("1.5") * Simplify expressions. Examples: - not(x in y) => x not in y - 4 and 5 and x and 6 => x and 6 * Loop: replace range() with xrange() on Python 2, and list with tuple. Examples: - for x in range(n): ... => for x in xrange(n): ... - for x in [1, 2, 3]: ... => for x in (1, 2, 3): ... * Evaluate unary and binary operators, subscript and comparaison if all arguments are constants. Examples: - 1 + 2 * 3 => 7 - not True => False - "abc" * 3 => "abcabcabc" - abcdef[:3] => abc - (2, 7, 3)[1] => 7 - frozenset("ab") | frozenset("bc") => frozenset("abc") - None is None => True - "2" in "python2.7" => True - "def f(): return 2 if 4 < 5 else 3" => "def f(): return 2" * Remove dead code. Examples: - def f(): return 1; return 2 => def f(): return 1 - if DEBUG: print("debug") => pass with DEBUG declared as False - while 0: ... => pass --- Unsafe optimizations are disabled by default. Optimizations can be enabled using a Config class with "features" like "builtin_funcs" (builtin functions like len()) or "pythonbin" (optimized code will be execute by the same Python binary executable). astoptimizer.patch_compile() can be used to hook the optimizer in the compile() builtin function. On Python 3.3, it is enough to use the optimizer on imports (thanks to the importlib). On older versions, the compileall module can be used to compile a whole project using the optimizer. I didn't start to benchmark anything yet, I focused on fixing bugs (not generating invalid code). I will start benchmarks when the "variables" feature (ex: "x=1; print(x)" => "x=1; print(1)") will work. There is an experimental support of variables, but it is still too agressive and generate invalid code in some cases (see the TODO file). I plan to implement other optimizations like unrolling loop or convert a loop to a list comprehension, see the TODO file. Don't hesitate to propose more optimizations if you have some ideas ;-) Victor [View Less]

I didn't have time to respond Barry's e-mail from four hours ago before this was committed. I think this change may be problematic. At the least, I think people should have an opportunity to air their specific concerns and talk through the implications. Also, from the discussion it seemed like the sentiment was leaning towards a different approach for the fix. I made a comment on the issue with some more extended remarks: http://bugs.python.org/msg170351 --Chris > > files: > Lib/argparse.py | 1 + > Lib/test/test_argparse.py | 10 ++++++++++ > Misc/NEWS | 3 +++ > 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) > > > diff --git a/Lib/argparse.py b/Lib/argparse.py > --- a/Lib/argparse.py > +++ b/Lib/argparse.py > @@ -1961,6 +1961,7 @@ > # twice (which may fail) if the argument was given, but > # only if it was defined already in the namespace > if (action.default is not None and > + isinstance(action, _StoreAction) and > hasattr(namespace, action.dest) and > action.default is getattr(namespace, action.dest)): > setattr(namespace, action.dest, > diff --git a/Lib/test/test_argparse.py b/Lib/test/test_argparse.py > --- a/Lib/test/test_argparse.py > +++ b/Lib/test/test_argparse.py > @@ -4607,6 +4607,16 @@ > args = parser.parse_args([]) > self.assertEqual(NS(foo='foo_converted'), args) > > + def test_issue_15906(self): > + # Issue #15906: When action='append', type=str, default=[] are > + # providing, the dest value was the string representation "[]" when it > + # should have been an empty list. > + parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() > + parser.add_argument('--test', dest='test', type=str, > + default=[], action='append') > + args = parser.parse_args([]) > + self.assertEqual(args.test, []) > + > # ====================== > # parse_known_args tests > # ====================== > diff --git a/Misc/NEWS b/Misc/NEWS > --- a/Misc/NEWS > +++ b/Misc/NEWS > @@ -56,6 +56,9 @@ > especially problematic for the FileType type, as a default file would always > be opened, even if a file argument was specified on the command line. > > +- Issue #15906: Fix a regression in argparse caused by the preceding change, > + when action='append', type='str' and default=[]. > + > Extension Modules > ----------------- > > > -- > Repository URL: http://hg.python.org/cpython > > _______________________________________________ > Python-checkins mailing list > Python-checkins(a)python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-checkins > [View Less]

issues found by Coverity
