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. Even though __init__ is written as an instance method, it seems like it's "morally" a part of the class method __new__ that's only split off for convenience. > > > > If this message is unclear, it's because I don't really understand this myself and I'm trying to articulate my best understanding of what's been said on this thread and those it links to. > > > > ijs > > > > > On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 10:22 AM, Alexander Belopolsky <http://bugs.python.org/issue2267#msg125979(javascript:main.compose('new', 't=alexander.belopolsky(a)gmail.com>(java_script:main.compose()> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > On Fri, Feb 13, 2015 at 1:19 PM, Alexander Belopolsky <alexander.belopolsky(a)gmail.com <alexander.belopolsky(a)gmail.com>(java_script:main.compose()> wrote: > > > > >> > > > > >> FWIW you're wrong when you claim that "a constructor is no different from any other method".

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 08 Feb '15

08 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

[RELEASE] Python 3.5.0a1 is now available
by Larry Hastings 08 Feb '15

08 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/
