congrats on 3.5! Alas, windows 7 users are having problems installing it

by Laura Creighton

webmaster has already heard from 4 people who cannot install it. I sent them to the bug tracker or to python-list but they seem not to have gone either place. Is there some guide I should be sending them to, 'how to debug installation problems'? Laura

PEP 506 secrets module

by Steven D'Aprano

Hi, As extensively discussed on Python-Ideas, the secrets module and PEP 506 is (I hope) ready for pronouncement. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0506/ There is code and tests here: https://bitbucket.org/sdaprano/secrets or you can run hg clone https://sdaprano@bitbucket.org/sdaprano/secrets The code is written for and tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 - 3.4. -- Steve

PEP 257 and __init__

by Facundo Batista

Hola! (I was doubting in sending this mail to this list or to the normal one, but as it affects a "style recommendation" we propose for the whole community, I finally sent it here) I was reading PEP 257 and it says that all public methods from a class (including __init__) should have a docstring. Why __init__? It's behaviour is well defined (inits the instance), and the initialization parameters should be described in the class' docstring itself, right? Or I am missing something? Should we remove "__init__" (the class method, *not* the package file) as to require docstrings in the PEP? Thanks! -- .

subprocess check_output

by Carlos Barera

Hi, Trying to run a specific command (ibstat) installed in /usr/sbin on an Ubuntu 15.04 machine, using subprocess.check_output and getting "/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/ibstat: No such file or directory" I tried the following: - running the command providing full path - running with executable=bash - running with (['/bin/bash', '-c' , "/usr/sbin/ibstat"]) Nothing worked ... Any idea? -carlos

It is an LLVM based JIT compiler for Python bytecode, written for hardcore numerical algorithms in Python. It can often achieve the same performance as -O2 in C after a short burn-in while inferring the types of the arguments and variables. Using it is mostly as easy as adding an @numba.jit decorator to the function we want to accelerate. Numba is rapidly becoming what Google's long dead swallow should have been. :-) Sturla _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev(a)python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/wes.turner%40gmail.com

Is there a reference manual for Python bytecode?

by Erik

Hi. Looking at ceval.c and peephole.c, there is - of course - lots of specific hard-coded knowledge of the bytecode (e.g., number of operands and other attributes). I'd like to experiment at this level, but I can't seem to find a reference for the bytecode. Is there the equivalent of something like the ARM ARM(*) for Python bytecode? I can read Python or C code if it's encoded that way, but I'm looking for something that's a bit more immediate than deciphering what an interpreter or optimizer is trying to do (i.e., some sort of table layout or per-opcode set of attributes). BR, E. (*) http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.ddi0406c/index.…

Thanks for your hard work and my New Years resolutions

by Brett Cannon

I just wanted to quickly thank everyone for the work they put into this project. I realize most of us either get only a little bit of paid time to work on Python or none at all, so contributing easily ends up using personal time which I know is a precious thing. So thank you for caring enough about this project to put in your valuable time and effort while trying to keep it enjoyable for everyone else. As we go into 2016, I hope to do my part to indirectly thank everyone by making our developer workflow easier to work with so that not only the lives of the core developers become easier but we once again become a project that is viewed as welcoming to outside contribution (instead of our current reputation as having patches sit in the issue tracker, languishing; join core-workflow if you want to help out with that). I also hope to see zipimport rewritten -- either by someone else or me if necessary -- so that my importlib.resources idea can land in time for Python 3.6 (join the import-sig if that interests you). Otherwise I plan to keep promoting Python 3 as we get ever closer to 2020. :)

dynamic linking, libssl.1.0.0.dylib, libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib and Mac OS X

by Chris Withers

Hi All, I hit this every time I install packages on Mac OS X that use libssl, it looks like extensions are built linking to .dylib's that are not resolveable when the library is actually used: >>> from OpenSSL import SSL Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/__init__.py", line 8, in <module> from OpenSSL import rand, crypto, SSL File "python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/rand.py", line 11, in <module> from OpenSSL._util import ( File "python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL/_util.py", line 6, in <module> from cryptography.hazmat.bindings.openssl.binding import Binding File "python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/bindings/openssl/binding.py", line 13, in <module> from cryptography.hazmat.bindings._openssl import ffi, lib ImportError: dlopen(python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_openssl.so, 2): Library not loaded: libssl.1.0.0.dylib Referenced from: python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_openssl.so Reason: image not found Looking at what this links to, I see: $ otool -L lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_openssl.so lib/python2.7/site-packages/cryptography/hazmat/bindings/_openssl.so: libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) Whereas the functional _ssl that ships with Python distributions on Mac OS X look like this: $ otool -L .../lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so .../lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/_ssl.so: @loader_path/../../libssl.1.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) What's going wrong here and what can be done differently to have 'pip install package_using_libssl' build a usable binary installation? Here's a couple of examples of this problem in the wild: https://github.com/alekstorm/backports.ssl/issues/9 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32978365/how-do-i-run-psycopg2-on-el-cap… https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/issues/385 I'm well out of my depth here, I just want to use these libraries, but I'm happy to try and do the work to make the world a better place for Mac users of these libraries...
