Re: [Python-Dev] [Webmaster] Python keeps installing as 32 bit

Hi Robb, This address is really for web site issues, but we are mostly old hands, and reasonably well-connected, so we try to act as a helpful channel when we can. In this case I can't personally help (though another webmaster may, if available, be able to offer advice). I stopped doing system administration for anything but my own machines a long time ago, having done far too much :-) The many mailing list channels available are listed at https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo. I would recommend that you try the distutils list at https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig; they don't actually build the Python installers (the dev who does that lives on python-dev, so that would be the place to go to get the scoop, and your email shows enough signs of competence that you need not fear adverse reactions). It seems like a reasonable enquiry to me, and I'm sorry I can't answer it. I've Cc'd this email to python-dev on the off-chance that someone will recognise my name and let it through, but I don't know how many people are working on the Windows installer or how busy they are. There are plenty of people smart enough to answer your question out there now, it's just a question of finding them. stackoverflow.com has a pretty good Python channel too. In any case, good luck, and thanks for reaching out to Python. regards Steve On Wed, Dec 16, 2015 at 7:29 PM, Mullins, Robb <rmullins(a)illinois.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > > > Not quite sure where to ask this. > > > > I don’t use Python myself.

Re: [Python-Dev] Idea: Dictionary references

Ok, I now think that you should stop hijacking the FAT Python thread. I start a new thread. IMHO your dictionary reference idea is completly unrelated to FAT Python. FAT Python is about guards and specialized bytecode. > Each function keeps an indirect, automagically updated > reference to the current value of the names they use, and will never > need to look things up again.[*] Indirections, nested dictionaries, creation of new "reference" objects... IMHO you are going to have major implementation issues :-/ The design looks *very* complex. I'm quite sure that you are going to make namespace lookups *slower*. It reminds me Python before the with statement and PyPy garbage collector. Many applications relied on the exact behaviour of CPython garbage collector. For example, they expected that a file is written on disk when the last reference to the file object is destroyed. In PyPy, it wasn't (it isn't) true, the write can be delayed. I guess that with all your complex machinery for dict lookups, you will have similar issues of object lifetime. It's unclear to me when and how "reference" objects are destroyed, nor when dict values are destroyed. What happens if a dict key is removed and a reference object is still alive? Is the dict value immediatly destroyed? Does the reference object contain a strong or a weak reference to the value? Victor

pypi simple index
by Carlos Barera Dec. 18, 2015

Dec. 18, 2015

Hi, I'm using install_requires in setup.py to specify a specific package my project is dependant on. When running python setup.py install, apparently the simple index is used as an older package is taken from pypi. While in https://pypi.python.org/pypi, there's a newer package. When installing directly using pip, the latest package is installed successfully. I noticed that the new package is only available as a wheel and older versions of setup tools won't install wheels for install_requires. However, upgrading setuptools didn't help. Several questions: 1. What's the difference between the pypi simple index and the general pypi index? 2. Why is setup.py defaulting to the simple index? 3. How can I make the setup.py triggered install use the main pypi index instead of simple Thanks!

Third milestone of FAT Python

I was thinking (as an alternative to versioning dicts) about a dictionary which would be able to return name/value pairs, which would also be internally used by the dictionary. This would be way less sensitive to irrelevant changes in the scope dictionary, but cost an extra pointer to each key. Here's how it would work: pair = scope.item(name) scope[name] = newval assert pair.value is newval assert pair.key is name assert pair is scope.item(name) # Alternatively, to only create pair objects when `item` is called, have `==` compare the underlying pair. del scope[name] assert pair.key is None # name-dicts can't have `None` keys assert pair.value is None # Alternatively, pair.value is scope.NULL This dict will allow one to hold references to its entries (with the caller promising not to change them, enforced by exceptions). You won't have to keep looking up keys (unless the name is deleted), and functions are allowed to change. For inlining, you can detect whether the function has been redefined by testing the saved pair.value against the saved function, and go into the slow path if needed (or recompile the inlining). I am not sure whether deleting from the dict and then readding the same key should reuse the pair container. I think the only potential issue for the Python version is memory use. There aren't going to be THAT many names being deleted, right? So I say that deleted things in the scope dict should not be removed from the inner dict. I predict that this will simplify a lot of other things, especially when deleting and readding the same name: if you save a pair, and it becomes invalid, you don't have to do another lookup to make sure that it's REALLY gone. If memory is a real concern, deleted pairs can be weakrefed (and saved in a second dict?) until they are reused. This way, pairs which aren't saved by something outside will be removed. For implementation, a Python implementation of the idea has probably already been done. Here are some details: - set: Internally store d._d[k] = k,v. - get: Reject k if d._d[k].key is None. (Names must be strings.) - del: Set d._d[k].key = None and .val = d.NULL to invalidate this entry. For the CPython version, CPython's dict already stores its entries as PyDictKeyEntry (hash, *key, *value), but those entries can move around on resizing. Two possible implementations: 1. Fork dict to store {hash, *kv_pair}. 2. Use an inner dict (like in the Python suggestion) where values are kv_pair. Write the indirection code in C, because scope dicts must be fast. For exposing a pair to Python code, here are two possibilities: 1. Make them Python objects in the first place. 2. Keep a second hash table in lockstep with the first (so that you can do a lookup to find the index in the first, and then use that same index with the second). In this table, store pair objects that have been created. (They can be weakrefed, as before. Unless it's impossible to weakref something you're returning?) This will save memory for pairs that aren't ever exposed. If compact dictionaries are implemented, the second hash table will be a second array instead. To use this kind of scopedict, functions would have to store a list of used names, which is memory overhead. But for what you're doing, some overhead will be necessary anyway.

async/await behavior on multiple calls
by Roy Williams Dec. 17, 2015

Dec. 17, 2015

Howdy, I'm experimenting with async/await in Python 3, and one very surprising behavior has been what happens when calling `await` twice on an Awaitable. In C#, Hack/HHVM, and the new async/await spec in Ecmascript 7. In Python, calling `await` multiple times results in all future results getting back `None`. Here's a small example program: async def echo_hi(): result = '' echo_proc = await asyncio.create_subprocess_exec( 'echo', 'hello', 'world', stdout=asyncio.subprocess.PIPE, stderr=asyncio.subprocess.DEVNULL) result = await echo_proc.stdout.read() await echo_proc.wait() return result async def await_twice(awaitable): print('first time is {}'.format(await awaitable)) print('second time is {}'.format(await awaitable)) loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(await_twice(echo_hi())) This makes writing composable APIs using async/await in Python very difficult since anything that takes an `awaitable` has to know that it wasn't already awaited. Also, since the behavior is radically different than in the other programming languages implementing async/await it makes adopting Python's flavor of async/await difficult for folks coming from a language where it's already implemented. In C#/Hack/JS calls to `await` return a Task/AwaitableHandle/Promise that can be awaited multiple times and either returns the result or throws any thrown exceptions. It doesn't appear that the Awaitable class in Python has a `result` or `exception` field but `asyncio.Future` does. Would it make sense to shift from having `await` functions return a ` *Future-like`* return object to returning a Future? Thanks, Roy

Python semantic: Is it ok to replace not x == y with x != y? (no)
by Victor Stinner Dec. 16, 2015

Dec. 16, 2015

Hi, I implemented more constant folding optimizations in my FAT Python project, but it looks like I made a subtle change in the Python semantic. Replacing "not x == y" with "x != y" changes the behaviour of Python. For example, this optimization breaks test_unittest because unittest.mock._Call implements __eq__() but not __ne__(). Is it expected that "not x.__eq__(y)" can be different than "x.__ne__(y)"? Is it part of the Python semantic? IMHO it's a bug in the unittest.mock module, but it's "acceptable" because "it just works" :-) So FAT Python must not replace "not x == y" with "x != y" to not break the code. Should Python emit a warning when __eq__() is implemented but not __ne__()? Should Python be modified to call "not __eq__()" when __ne__() is not implemented? For me, it can be an annoying and sublte bug, hard to track. Victor

A lot of talks and patches around how to cross-compile python for andriod ... Dear python-dev@, I just want to say thanks to all of you for the high quality cross-platform code. Using alternative Android NDK named CrystaX (home page - https://www.crystax.net ) which provides high quality posix support in comparison with google's one we managed to cross-compile python 2.7 and 3.5 completely without any patches applied.
