Re: [Python-Dev] [Python-ideas] PEP 479: Change StopIteration handling inside generators

(The above was said on -ideas, but discussion is now moving to -dev, so I hope it's okay to send the response there.) Added a paragraph to the PEP draft: https://github.com/Rosuav/GenStopIter/commit/695961 Should today's date be added to the Post-History? ChrisA

understanding ubuntu's patches to cpython
by Buck Evan 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

This particular patch caused virtualenv issue #118 and a subsequent workaround: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/python2.7/trusty… <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/python2.7/trusty…> Although this patch sits on the trusty branch of cpython patckaging, in point of fact on that line i have `return os.path.join(get_config_var('LIBPL'), "Makefile")`. I see that other patches in the same project also touch this line, but none of them have this LIBPL code that I find in my actual installation. Can any of you all help me understand what's going on here? I'm trying to pinpoint exactly when/how the problematic code (.replace("/usr/local","/usr") went away. I'm hoping "doko" is on this mailing list. Of course feel free to advise if there's a more appropriate forum for this discussion.

Static checker for common Python programming errors
by Stefan Bucur 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

I'm developing a Python static analysis tool that flags common programming errors in Python programs. The tool is meant to complement other tools like Pylint (which perform checks at lexical and syntactic level) by going deeper with the code analysis and keeping track of the possible control flow paths in the program (path-sensitive analysis). For instance, a path-sensitive analysis detects that the following snippet of code would raise an AttributeError exception: if object is None: # If the True branch is taken, we know the object is None object.doSomething() # ... so this statement would always fail I'm writing first to the Python developers themselves to ask, in their experience, what common pitfalls in the language & its standard library such a static checker should look for. For instance, here [1] is a list of static checks for the C++ language, as part of the Clang static analyzer project. My preliminary list of Python checks is quite rudimentary, but maybe could serve as a discussion starter: * Proper Unicode handling (for 2.x) - encode() is not called on str object - decode() is not called on unicode object * Check for integer division by zero * Check for None object dereferences Thanks a lot, Stefan Bucur [1] http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/available_checks.html

OneGet provider for Python
by Vincent Povirk 17 Nov '14

17 Nov '14

I have been following OneGet development very closely, and I have volunteered to create a OneGet provider for installing Python packages. Normally, I would keep quiet about this sort of thing until I have actual code that works, but since no one else on the OneGet seems as interested in doing it, and the Python community (if this mailing list is anything to go by) doesn't know what to make of this stuff, I figured I should try to open lines of communication before I start essentially making decisions on this community's behalf. So, the main advantage of a Python provider is that you would be able to do things like: > Install-Package -Provider Python -Name Pygments or > Install-Package Pygments-2.0.1-py3-none-any.whl and OneGet would be able to bootstrap (if necessary) the Python provider itself, Python 3.x, and pip, and use pip to install the .whl. (I'm unclear at the moment on whether pip is necessary to install a .whl, but currently it looks to be the best thing to lean on for the job of installing/uninstalling things). My end goal is to be able to package a Python application such that an end-user on Windows (who doesn't know anything about Python) can easily install it, without either of us having to think about how all the dependencies are going to get there. I think that the best approach for the moment is to lean heavily on pip for installing/uninstalling things, while duplicating other tasks (such as listing installed packages, querying information about package files, searching PyPI) in C# so that they do not require a Python environment. If anyone has questions or concerns about this, please let me know. Keep in mind that I am not subscribed to the mailing list and will have to be CC'd. If anyone has questions about OneGet generally, you should probably ask them directly (see https://github.com/OneGet/oneget), as I am not a definitive source of information on the project. Incidentally, it would be really useful if python.org provided stable url's that always redirected to the latest .msi installers, for bootstrapping purposes. I'd prefer to not rely on chocolatey (or on scraping the web site) for this. (Also, I don't think this is ready yet, but in the future it will be possible to add <link> tags to websites, such that one can do things like "Install-Package https://www.python.org" and have the right things happen.)

Problem displaying the warning symbol
by Stefano Borini 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

Hi, I report a finding (bug?) about the warning unicode symbol, as reported here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26919799/cannot-make-warning-sign-visibl… In brief, python fails to correctly encode \u26a0 (warning sign) to utf-8, instead writing a space. It has no problems with other symbols. I m using python 3.4.0.

py34 makes it harder to read all of a pty
by Buck Golemon 16 Nov '14

16 Nov '14

This code works as expected in python <3.4 (printing 'ok' then an error), but only gives an error in python3.4. ``` import os read_fd, write_fd = os.openpty() os.write(write_fd, b'ok\n') os.close(write_fd) read_file = os.fdopen(read_fd, 'rb', 0) print("read: %r" % read_file.read()) print("read: %r" % read_file.read()) ``` This is due to the fix for issue21090 <http://bugs.python.org/issue21090>, which aimed to un-silence errors which previously went unheard. The fix is for me, as a user, to write a loop that uses os.read and interpretes EIO as EOF. This is what I had hoped file.read() would do for me, however, and what it used to do in previous pythons.

Windows Dedicated Mailing List
by Shorya Raj 15 Nov '14

15 Nov '14

Hello I have been following the lists for a while, and have noticed that there do not seem to be any sort of specifics for Windows. Now, as someone developing python applications (and hoping to develop python itself on Windows), I think it may be prudent to consider adding a Windows specific mailing list regarding development on Windows, whether it is development of Python on windows, or developing Python applications on Windows. Please let me know what you guys think - if there is consensus, it would be great to get it up and running, and I would be more than willing to take steps from my side as required. Thanks SbSpider

Who's using VS/Windows to work on Python?
by Steve Dower 14 Nov '14

14 Nov '14

Just wondering who is regularly/occasionally using VS 2010 to work on Python? Also, who currently owns the Windows buildbots and are you willing/able to add a VS 2015 Preview installation (or give me access so I can do it)? I can also set up a VS 2015 buildbot, but the old ones will break if the projects change (I should do this anyway to at least become familiar with how the buildbots work...) I want to get a feel for who will be disrupted when I merge in the changes to build with VS 2015, which will help influence when that merge occurs. VS 2015 Preview was just released yesterday, and while it's not perfect yet, it's isolated enough from VS 2010 that there won't be any issues installing them both (I can't say the same for VS 2013...). If people are okay with this, then we can consider merging the changes sooner. Once VS 2015 RC is released, I'll be looking to merge asap., but I don't see a strong need to do it before then other than a longer bake time. (In any case, the old project files will still be there, but right now it's easier to handle when those change. Once they are in their own directory, changes to the VS 2010 projects will need to be duplicated by hand in the VS 2015 projects, and while the converse is true, it's not as critical.) Cheers, Steve
