New problem accessing tracker with Firefox 50.0
by Terry Reedy 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

Starting today, while reviewing the "Summary of Python tracker issues", I get the following for about half the clicks. """ Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to bugs.python.org. A PKCS #11 module returned CKR_DEVICE_ERROR, indicating that a problem has occurred with the token or slot. Error code: SEC_ERROR_PKCS11_DEVICE_ERROR The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem. [ Try Again ] """ So far, the Try Again button has always worked. I believe I upgraded Firefox (to 50.0) just last night, or possibly the night before. -- Terry Jan Reedy

Recent changes to PyCodeObject
by Ned Batchelder 18 Nov '16

18 Nov '16

When I added Python 3.6 support to coverage.py, I posted a Mac wheel to PyPI: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/coverage/ That wheel was built against 3.6a3, the latest version at the time. When I use it now on 3.6b3, it doesn't work right. The reason is that the co_firstlineno field in PyCodeObject moved in September, as part of the PEP 523 work: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/f1e6d88b3ca2b56d51d87b6b38ea1870c5… The docs say that PyCodeObject can change at any time, but I don't see why the field had to move in the first place. Was this needed? Am I doing the wrong thing by using PyCodeObject fields directly in the coverage.py C trace function? It seems like this was an unnecessary breaking change, even if it is a non-guaranteed interface. BTW, there are some comments that should be updated based on that commit, I can submit a patch to fix them. --Ned.

Warnings behave differently in Python 2 and Python 3?
by Christoph Groth 14 Nov '16

14 Nov '16

(I assume that this list is appropriate for this topic, but if it isn't, I will be grateful for being redirected to the appropriate place.) It seems that warnings behave differently in Python 2 and Python 3. Consider the following script. **************** def func(): warnings.warn("Blabla", RuntimeWarning) warnings.simplefilter("ignore") func() warnings.simplefilter("always") func() **************** When run with CPython 2.7, there is no output, when run with CPython 3.5, there is the following output: **************** /tmp/test.py:4: RuntimeWarning: Blabla warnings.warn("Blabla", RuntimeWarning) **************** Was there indeed a change of how warnings behave in Python 3? I searched, but couldn't find any documentation for this. Understanding how warnings work is especially important when testing for them. This is how I stumbled across this, in case anyone is interested: https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/kwant/kwant/issues/1#note_2608 I also note that the current documentation still uses DeprecationWarning in the example of how to suppress a warning: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/warnings.html#temporarily-suppressing-w…. Since DeprecationWarning is disabled by default in modern Python, perhaps a different warning would provide a better example?

Parsing f-strings from PEP 498 -- Literal String Interpolation
by Fabio Zadrozny 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Hi Python-Dev, I'm trying to get my head around on what's accepted in f-strings -- https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0498/ seems very light on the details on what it does accept as an expression and how things should actually be parsed (and the current implementation still doesn't seem to be in a state for a final release, so, I thought asking on python-dev would be a reasonable option). I was thinking there'd be some grammar for it (something as https://docs.python.org/3.6/reference/grammar.html), but all I could find related to this is a quote saying that f-strings should be something as: f ' <text> { <expression> <optional !s, !r, or !a> <optional : format specifier> } <text> So, given that, is it safe to assume that <expression> would be equal to the "test" node from the official grammar? I initially thought it would obviously be, but the PEP says that using a lamda inside the expression would conflict because of the colon (which wouldn't happen if a proper grammar was actually used for this parsing as there'd be no conflict as the lamda would properly consume the colon), so, I guess some pre-parser steps takes place to separate the expression to then be parsed, so, I'm interested on knowing how exactly that should work when the implementation is finished -- lots of plus points if there's actually a grammar to back it up :) Thanks, Fabio

Benchmarks: Comparison between Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 performance
by Victor Stinner 07 Nov '16

(Re-post without the two attached files of 100 KB each.) Hi, You may know that I'm working on benchmarks. I regenerated all benchmark results of speed.python.org using performance 0.3.2 (benchmark suite). I started to analyze results. All results are available online on the website: https://speed.python.org/ To communicate on my work on benchmarks, I tweeted two pictures: "sympy benchmarks: Python 3.6 is between 8% and 48% faster than Python 2.7 #python #benchmark": https://twitter.com/VictorStinner/status/794289596683210760 "Python 3.6 is between 25% and 54% slower than Python 2.7 in the following benchmarks": https://twitter.com/VictorStinner/status/794305065708376069 Many people were disappointed that Python 3.6 can be up to 54% slower than Python 2.7. In fact, I know many reasons which explain that, but it's hard to summarize them in 140 characters ;-) For example, Python 3.6 is 54% slower than Python 2.7 on the benchmark pycrypto_aes. This benchmark tests a pure Python implementation of the crypto cipher AES. You may know that CPython is slow for CPU intensive functions, especially on integer and floatting point numbers. "int" in Python 3 is now "long integers" by default, which is known to be a little bit slower than "short int" of Python 2. On a more realistic benchmark (see other benchmarks), the overhead of Python 3 "long int" is negligible. AES is a typical example stressing integers. For me, it's a dummy benchmark: it doesn't make sense to use Python for AES: modern CPUs have an *hardware* implemention which is super fast. Well, I didn't have time to analyze in depth individual benchmarks. If you want to help me, here is the source code of benchmarks: https://github.com/python/performance/blob/master/performance/benchmarks/ Raw results of Python 3.6 compared to Python 2.7: ------------------- $ python3 -m perf compare_to 2016-11-03_15-36-2.7-91f024fc9b3a.json.gz 2016-11-03_15-38-3.6-c4319c0d0131.json.gz -G --min-speed=5 Slower (40): - python_startup: 7.74 ms +- 0.28 ms -> 26.9 ms +- 0.6 ms: 3.47x slower - python_startup_no_site: 4.43 ms +- 0.08 ms -> 10.4 ms +- 0.4 ms: 2.36x slower - unpickle_pure_python: 417 us +- 3 us -> 918 us +- 14 us: 2.20x slower - call_method: 16.3 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 28.6 ms +- 0.8 ms: 1.76x slower - call_method_slots: 16.2 ms +- 0.4 ms -> 28.3 ms +- 0.7 ms: 1.75x slower - call_method_unknown: 18.4 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 30.8 ms +- 0.8 ms: 1.67x slower - crypto_pyaes: 161 ms +- 2 ms -> 249 ms +- 2 ms: 1.54x slower - xml_etree_parse: 201 ms +- 5 ms -> 298 ms +- 8 ms: 1.49x slower - logging_simple: 26.4 us +- 0.3 us -> 38.4 us +- 0.7 us: 1.46x slower - logging_format: 31.3 us +- 0.4 us -> 45.5 us +- 0.8 us: 1.45x slower - pickle_pure_python: 986 us +- 9 us -> 1.41 ms +- 0.03 ms: 1.43x slower - spectral_norm: 208 ms +- 2 ms -> 287 ms +- 2 ms: 1.38x slower - logging_silent: 660 ns +- 7 ns -> 865 ns +- 31 ns: 1.31x slower - chaos: 240 ms +- 2 ms -> 314 ms +- 4 ms: 1.31x slower - go: 490 ms +- 2 ms -> 640 ms +- 26 ms: 1.31x slower - xml_etree_iterparse: 178 ms +- 2 ms -> 230 ms +- 5 ms: 1.29x slower - sqlite_synth: 8.29 us +- 0.16 us -> 10.6 us +- 0.2 us: 1.28x slower - xml_etree_process: 210 ms +- 6 ms -> 268 ms +- 14 ms: 1.28x slower - django_template: 387 ms +- 4 ms -> 484 ms +- 5 ms: 1.25x slower - fannkuch: 830 ms +- 32 ms -> 1.04 sec +- 0.03 sec: 1.25x slower - hexiom: 20.2 ms +- 0.1 ms -> 24.7 ms +- 0.2 ms: 1.22x slower - chameleon: 26.1 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 31.9 ms +- 0.4 ms: 1.22x slower - regex_compile: 395 ms +- 2 ms -> 482 ms +- 6 ms: 1.22x slower - json_dumps: 25.8 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 31.0 ms +- 0.5 ms: 1.20x slower - nqueens: 229 ms +- 2 ms -> 274 ms +- 2 ms: 1.20x slower - genshi_text: 81.9 ms +- 0.6 ms -> 97.8 ms +- 1.1 ms: 1.19x slower - raytrace: 1.17 sec +- 0.03 sec -> 1.39 sec +- 0.03 sec: 1.19x slower - scimark_monte_carlo: 240 ms +- 7 ms -> 282 ms +- 10 ms: 1.17x slower - scimark_sor: 441 ms +- 8 ms -> 517 ms +- 12 ms: 1.17x slower - deltablue: 17.4 ms +- 0.1 ms -> 20.1 ms +- 0.6 ms: 1.16x slower - sqlalchemy_declarative: 310 ms +- 3 ms -> 354 ms +- 6 ms: 1.14x slower - call_simple: 12.2 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 13.9 ms +- 0.2 ms: 1.14x slower - scimark_fft: 613 ms +- 19 ms -> 694 ms +- 23 ms: 1.13x slower - meteor_contest: 191 ms +- 1 ms -> 215 ms +- 2 ms: 1.13x slower - pathlib: 46.9 ms +- 0.4 ms -> 52.6 ms +- 0.9 ms: 1.12x slower - richards: 181 ms +- 1 ms -> 201 ms +- 6 ms: 1.11x slower - genshi_xml: 191 ms +- 2 ms -> 209 ms +- 2 ms: 1.10x slower - float: 290 ms +- 5 ms -> 310 ms +- 7 ms: 1.07x slower - scimark_sparse_mat_mult: 8.19 ms +- 0.22 ms -> 8.74 ms +- 0.15 ms: 1.07x slower - xml_etree_generate: 302 ms +- 3 ms -> 320 ms +- 8 ms: 1.06x slower Faster (15): - telco: 707 ms +- 22 ms -> 22.1 ms +- 0.4 ms: 32.04x faster - unpickle_list: 15.0 us +- 0.3 us -> 7.86 us +- 0.16 us: 1.90x faster - pickle_list: 14.7 us +- 0.2 us -> 9.12 us +- 0.38 us: 1.61x faster - json_loads: 98.7 us +- 2.3 us -> 62.3 us +- 0.7 us: 1.58x faster - pickle: 40.4 us +- 0.6 us -> 27.1 us +- 0.5 us: 1.49x faster - sympy_sum: 361 ms +- 10 ms -> 244 ms +- 7 ms: 1.48x faster - sympy_expand: 1.68 sec +- 0.02 sec -> 1.15 sec +- 0.03 sec: 1.47x faster - regex_v8: 62.0 ms +- 0.5 ms -> 47.2 ms +- 0.6 ms: 1.31x faster - sympy_str: 699 ms +- 22 ms -> 537 ms +- 15 ms: 1.30x faster - regex_effbot: 6.67 ms +- 0.04 ms -> 5.23 ms +- 0.05 ms: 1.28x faster - mako: 61.5 ms +- 0.7 ms -> 49.7 ms +- 2.5 ms: 1.24x faster - html5lib: 298 ms +- 7 ms -> 261 ms +- 6 ms: 1.14x faster - sympy_integrate: 55.9 ms +- 0.3 ms -> 51.8 ms +- 1.0 ms: 1.08x faster - pickle_dict: 69.4 us +- 0.9 us -> 65.2 us +- 3.2 us: 1.06x faster - scimark_lu: 551 ms +- 26 ms -> 523 ms +- 18 ms: 1.05x faster Benchmark hidden because not significant (8): 2to3, dulwich_log, nbody, pidigits, regex_dna, tornado_http, unpack_sequence, unpickle Ignored benchmarks (3) of 2016-11-03_15-36-2.7-91f024fc9b3a.json: hg_startup, pyflate, spambayes ------------------- Please ignore call_method, call_method_slots, call_method_unknown benchmarks: it seems like I had an issue on the benchmark server.

Installing Python on Windows
by Steve Dower 07 Nov '16

07 Nov '16

Hi all Those of you who follow me on Twitter (@zooba) may have noticed that I posted one of my rare blog posts over the weekend about the increasing range of Python installers available for Windows. I figured I'd draw some attention here in case others are interested in my rationale for why the main installer is how it is, and why I'm also experimenting with other forms of installer or package: http://stevedower.id.au/blog/why-so-many-python-installers/ Arguably this would make a good section in the docs or a PEP, though it's very point-in-time content, so a blog seems fine for now. There's also not really anything in the docs about how Linux distributors package up CPython, so maybe it's best as entirely standalone content. Cheers, Steve (In case anyone is suspicious, I earn no income from my blog and there are no ads. So I hope I'm not promoting the link for selfish reasons :) )

For me, it's a dummy benchmark: it doesn't make sense to use Python for AES: modern CPUs have an *hardware* implemention which is super fast. Well, I didn't have time to analyze in depth individual benchmarks. If you want to help me, here is the source code of benchmarks: https://github.com/python/performance/blob/master/performance/benchmarks/ Raw results of Python 3.6 compared to Python 2.7: ------------------- $ python3 -m perf compare_to 2016-11-03_15-36-2.7-91f024fc9b3a.json.gz 2016-11-03_15-38-3.6-c4319c0d0131.json.gz -G --min-speed=5 Slower (40): - python_startup: 7.74 ms +- 0.28 ms -> 26.9 ms +- 0.6 ms: 3.47x slower - python_startup_no_site: 4.43 ms +- 0.08 ms -> 10.4 ms +- 0.4 ms: 2.36x slower - unpickle_pure_python: 417 us +- 3 us -> 918 us +- 14 us: 2.20x slower - call_method: 16.3 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 28.6 ms +- 0.8 ms: 1.76x slower - call_method_slots: 16.2 ms +- 0.4 ms -> 28.3 ms +- 0.7 ms: 1.75x slower - call_method_unknown: 18.4 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 30.8 ms +- 0.8 ms: 1.67x slower - crypto_pyaes: 161 ms +- 2 ms -> 249 ms +- 2 ms: 1.54x slower - xml_etree_parse: 201 ms +- 5 ms -> 298 ms +- 8 ms: 1.49x slower - logging_simple: 26.4 us +- 0.3 us -> 38.4 us +- 0.7 us: 1.46x slower - logging_format: 31.3 us +- 0.4 us -> 45.5 us +- 0.8 us: 1.45x slower - pickle_pure_python: 986 us +- 9 us -> 1.41 ms +- 0.03 ms: 1.43x slower - spectral_norm: 208 ms +- 2 ms -> 287 ms +- 2 ms: 1.38x slower - logging_silent: 660 ns +- 7 ns -> 865 ns +- 31 ns: 1.31x slower - chaos: 240 ms +- 2 ms -> 314 ms +- 4 ms: 1.31x slower - go: 490 ms +- 2 ms -> 640 ms +- 26 ms: 1.31x slower - xml_etree_iterparse: 178 ms +- 2 ms -> 230 ms +- 5 ms: 1.29x slower - sqlite_synth: 8.29 us +- 0.16 us -> 10.6 us +- 0.2 us: 1.28x slower - xml_etree_process: 210 ms +- 6 ms -> 268 ms +- 14 ms: 1.28x slower - django_template: 387 ms +- 4 ms -> 484 ms +- 5 ms: 1.25x slower - fannkuch: 830 ms +- 32 ms -> 1.04 sec +- 0.03 sec: 1.25x slower - hexiom: 20.2 ms +- 0.1 ms -> 24.7 ms +- 0.2 ms: 1.22x slower - chameleon: 26.1 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 31.9 ms +- 0.4 ms: 1.22x slower - regex_compile: 395 ms +- 2 ms -> 482 ms +- 6 ms: 1.22x slower - json_dumps: 25.8 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 31.0 ms +- 0.5 ms: 1.20x slower - nqueens: 229 ms +- 2 ms -> 274 ms +- 2 ms: 1.20x slower - genshi_text: 81.9 ms +- 0.6 ms -> 97.8 ms +- 1.1 ms: 1.19x slower - raytrace: 1.17 sec +- 0.03 sec -> 1.39 sec +- 0.03 sec: 1.19x slower - scimark_monte_carlo: 240 ms +- 7 ms -> 282 ms +- 10 ms: 1.17x slower - scimark_sor: 441 ms +- 8 ms -> 517 ms +- 12 ms: 1.17x slower - deltablue: 17.4 ms +- 0.1 ms -> 20.1 ms +- 0.6 ms: 1.16x slower - sqlalchemy_declarative: 310 ms +- 3 ms -> 354 ms +- 6 ms: 1.14x slower - call_simple: 12.2 ms +- 0.2 ms -> 13.9 ms +- 0.2 ms: 1.14x slower - scimark_fft: 613 ms +- 19 ms -> 694 ms +- 23 ms: 1.13x slower - meteor_contest: 191 ms +- 1 ms -> 215 ms +- 2 ms: 1.13x slower - pathlib: 46.9 ms +- 0.4 ms -> 52.6 ms +- 0.9 ms: 1.12x slower - richards: 181 ms +- 1 ms -> 201 ms +- 6 ms: 1.11x slower - genshi_xml: 191 ms +- 2 ms -> 209 ms +- 2 ms: 1.10x slower - float: 290 ms +- 5 ms -> 310 ms +- 7 ms: 1.07x slower - scimark_sparse_mat_mult: 8.19 ms +- 0.22 ms -> 8.74 ms +- 0.15 ms: 1.07x slower - xml_etree_generate: 302 ms +- 3 ms -> 320 ms +- 8 ms: 1.06x slower Faster (15): - telco: 707 ms +- 22 ms -> 22.1 ms +- 0.4 ms: 32.04x faster - unpickle_list: 15.0 us +- 0.3 us -> 7.86 us +- 0.16 us: 1.90x faster - pickle_list: 14.7 us +- 0.2 us -> 9.12 us +- 0.38 us: 1.61x faster - json_loads: 98.7 us +- 2.3 us -> 62.3 us +- 0.7 us: 1.58x faster - pickle: 40.4 us +- 0.6 us -> 27.1 us +- 0.5 us: 1.49x faster - sympy_sum: 361 ms +- 10 ms -> 244 ms +- 7 ms: 1.48x faster - sympy_expand: 1.68 sec +- 0.02 sec -> 1.15 sec +- 0.03 sec: 1.47x faster - regex_v8: 62.0 ms +- 0.5 ms -> 47.2 ms +- 0.6 ms: 1.31x faster - sympy_str: 699 ms +- 22 ms -> 537 ms +- 15 ms: 1.30x faster - regex_effbot: 6.67 ms +- 0.04 ms -> 5.23 ms +- 0.05 ms: 1.28x faster - mako: 61.5 ms +- 0.7 ms -> 49.7 ms +- 2.5 ms: 1.24x faster - html5lib: 298 ms +- 7 ms -> 261 ms +- 6 ms: 1.14x faster - sympy_integrate: 55.9 ms +- 0.3 ms -> 51.8 ms +- 1.0 ms: 1.08x faster - pickle_dict: 69.4 us +- 0.9 us -> 65.2 us +- 3.2 us: 1.06x faster - scimark_lu: 551 ms +- 26 ms -> 523 ms +- 18 ms: 1.05x faster Benchmark hidden because not significant (8): 2to3, dulwich_log, nbody, pidigits, regex_dna, tornado_http, unpack_sequence, unpickle Ignored benchmarks (3) of 2016-11-03_15-36-2.7-91f024fc9b3a.json: hg_startup, pyflate, spambayes ------------------- Please ignore call_method, call_method_slots, call_method_unknown benchmarks: it seems like I had an issue on the benchmark server. I was unable to reproduce he 70% slowdown on my laptop. I attached the two compressed JSON files to this email if you want to analyze them yourself. I hope that my work on benchmarks will motive some developers to look closer at Python 3 performance to find interesting optimizations ;-) Victor
