Hello all, The updated PEP 448 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0448/) is implemented now based on some early work by Thomas Wouters (in 2008) and Florian Hahn (2013) and recently completed by Joshua Landau and me. The issue tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue2292 has a working patch. Would someone be able to review it? Thank you very much, Neil

So other overriding methods *should* be able to handle the same inputs that the respective overridden methods do, but constructors don't need to.

I don't believe we deliberately designed it that way, it's just an inherent consequence of having both types implement concatenation based on the buffer protocol rather than using any kind of type check.

Encoding of PyFrameObject members
by Francis Giraldeau 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

I need to access frame members from within a signal handler for tracing purpose. My first attempt to access co_filename was like this (omitting error checking): PyFrameObject *frame = PyEval_GetFrame(); PyObject *ob = PyUnicode_AsUTF8String(frame->f_code->co_filename) char *str = PyBytes_AsString(ob) However, the function PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() calls PyObject_Malloc(), which is not reentrant. If the signal handler nest over PyObject_Malloc(), it causes a segfault, and it could also deadlock. Instead, I access members directly: char *str = PyUnicode_DATA(frame->f_code->co_filename); size_t len = PyUnicode_GET_DATA_SIZE(frame->f_code->co_filename); Is it safe to assume that unicode objects co_filename and co_name are always UTF-8 data for loaded code? I looked at the PyTokenizer_FromString() and it seems to convert everything to UTF-8 upfront, and I would like to make sure this assumption is valid. Thanks! Francis

by Larry Hastings 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.5 release team, I'm also pleased to announce the availability of Python 3.5.0a1. Python 3.5.0a1 is the first alpha release of Python 3.5, which will be the next major release of Python. Python 3.5 is still under heavy development, and is far from complete. This is a preview release, and its use is not recommended for production settings. You can download it here: https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.5.0a1 Happy hacking, //arry/

installing python 2.7.9 on a Mac
by Laura Creighton 08 Feb '15

08 Feb '15

webmaster just got mail from a novice who is trying to learn Python in an introductory class. She got a "The version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.7) in use may be unstable" message. I think that the download page should have a link. If you get <The version of Tcl/Tk (8.5.7) in use may be unstable> download and install <this link>. Any reason we cannot do that? Laura

Import Fails in setup.py On Android
by Cyd Haselton 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

After fixing a segfault issue (many thanks Ryan) I'm back to the same issue I was having with Python 2.7.8; the newly built python throws an undefined reference to dlopen when running setup.py...specifically when importing just-built extensions I've managed to narrow the problem down to the following line: importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods(spec).load() Googling this brings up a few hits from bugs.python.org and not much else. I'm new to Python; any ideas what this does...or where I can read up on it for troubleshooting purposes? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Hi, I am new to this board and have a question
by Jianhua Zhou 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hi Everyone, I am a core software engineer at Rocket Software Inc. I am working on database system called UniData and Universe. Now we plan to introduce Python as the new programming language to our customer. When I try to build the python 3.4.1 on Red Hat Linux platform. I found some problem and need help. After I run configure and make the python, at the very end, it said some optional modules we missing, Python build finished successfully! The necessary bits to build these optional modules were not found: _bz2 _lzma _ssl _tkinter zlib So, I went to python development guide site and found out I have to download some other source to build the optional modules. Since I am on RH Linux and yum is installed on my Linux box, so I run following command # yum install yum-utils Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register. WANdisco | 951 B 00:00 WANdisco/primary | 94 kB 00:00 WANdisco 450/450 my_repo | 3.9 kB 00:00 ... Setting up Install Process Package yum-utils-1.1.30-14.el6.noarch already installed and latest version Nothing to do Looks like yum-utils is already installed. Then # yum-builddep python3 Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit No such package(s): python3 So what package name should I gave to download the additional source to build the optional module? Thanks!

Why does pip upgrade to a random version?

05 Feb '15

Could somebody please have a look at the following SO question? It seems as if I might have found a bug in pip: http://stackoverflow.com/q/28282671/562769 TL;DR of the SO question: I executed `$ sudo pip install hwrt --upgrade` mutiple times and got a - seemingly random - version of hwrt installed.

Python Mobile-sig
by Jeff Hardy 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

There is now a Python SIG dedicated to running Python on mobile devices. Sign up for the mobile-sig(a)python.org mailing list and find out more at [1]. The Mobile-SIG exists to improve the usability of Python on mobile devices, as mobile platforms have their own unique requirements and constraints. There are two goals: * To collaborate on porting CPython to mobile platforms and ensure that other Python implementations (i.e. Jython, IronPython) present much the same environment as CPython when running on mobile devices. * To collaborate on the design of modules for mobile-centric features such as cameras, GPS, accelerometers, and other sensors to ensure cross-platform and cross-implementation compatibility. The intent is to work on mobile-centric features in this group before proposal to python-dev, similar to how the distutils-sig operates. - Jeff [1] https://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/mobile-sig/

PEP 475 accepted
by Antoine Pitrou 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hello, I'm now accepting PEP 475 - "Retry system calls failing with EINTR". You can read it at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475/ The implementation is more or less ready at http://bugs.python.org/issue23285, so you can expect it to land in the main repo relatively soon. Regards Antoine.

Workflow PEP proposals are now closed
by Brett Cannon 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

The PEPs under consideration are PEPs 474 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0474/> and 462 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0462/> from Nick Coghlan to use Kallithea and do self-hosting, and PEP 481 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0481/> from Donald Stufft that proposes using GitHub. At this point I expect final PEPs by PyCon US so I can try and make a decision by May 1. Longer still is to hopefully have whatever solution we choose in place right after Python 3.5 is released. And just a reminder to people, the lofty goal is to improve the overall workflow for CPython itself such that our patch submission queue can actually be cleared regularly. This not only benefits core devs by letting us be more effective, but also contributors by making sure their hard work gets addressed quickly and thus doesn't languish on the issue tracker for very long. If we can't find a solution for fixing our CPython workflow I will then be willing to entertain these PEPs narrowing their scopes and only focus on ancillary repos like the devguide, etc. where the workflows are simple. I know the absolute worst case is nothing changes, but honestly I think the worst case is Nick's work gets us off of Rietveld, the ancillary repos move to GitHub, and we make the GitHub and Bitbucket mirrors of CPython official ones for people to work from (bonus points if we get the issue tracker to have push button patch pulling from GitHub; Bitbucket is already covered thanks to our remote hg repo support). IOW I see nothing but a win for contributors and core devs as well as everyone proposing solutions which is a nice place to start from. =)

Workflow improvement PEPs 474 & 462 updated
by Nick Coghlan 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

As per Brett's target timeline, I've just posted updated versions of my workflow improvement proposals in PEP 474 and 462 PEP 474 is my proposal to host a Kallithea instance at forge.python.org: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0474/ This update was fairly minor, mainly just added some timeline details based on Brett's proposed schedule for discussions and implementation: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0474/#pilot-objectives-and-timeline The updates to PEP 462, which covers proposed changes to the main CPython workflow, were more significant, as I've now rewritten that to depend on PEP 474, and propose replacing the current Rietveld patch review workflow with an updated approach based on Kallithea and Zuul: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0462/ Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

PEP 484 syntax: NONONONONONONO!
by Benjamin 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

The proposed syntax is abominable. It's the opposite of readable. The function annotation syntax is ugly, but potentially useful for things like documentation. While it may very well have been created with the idea of type-checking, actually using it for such quickly turns into an unreadable morass of information that is far more difficult for human brains to parse, which makes this usage the antithesis of pythonic. I much prefer the idea of a 'where' keyword to denote typing, as discussed http://aroberge.blogspot.com/2015/01/type-hinting-in-python-focus-on.html, but I think a refinement of their idea would prove even better: def retry(callback, timeout, retries=None) where ........callback is Callable[AnyArgs, Any[int, None]], ........timeout is Any[int, None], ........retries is in [int, None], # 'is in' construct is more readable, dunno about complexity ........return is None: ....pass def greeting(name) where name is str, return is str: ....return 'Hello ' + name x, y = [], [] where x, y is List[Employee], List[Manager] To me, this orders of magnitude more readable than the proposed nonsense. PS. Obviously the 8-space indent above would only a convention, not requirement.
