The syntax of replacement fields in format strings
by Serhiy Storchaka Oct. 31, 2017

Oct. 31, 2017

According to the specification of format string syntax [1] (I meant str.format(), not f-strings), both argument name and attribute name must be Python identifiers. But the current implementation is more lenient and allow arbitrary sequences of characters while they don't contain '.', '[', ']', '{', '}', ':', '!'. >>> '{#}'.format_map({'#': 42}) '42' >>> import types >>> '{0.#}'.format(types.SimpleNamespace(**{'#': 42})) '42' This can be confusing due to similarity with the format string syntaxes in str.format() and f-strings. >> name = 'abc' >>> f'{name.upper()}' 'ABC' >>> '{name.upper()}'.format(name='abc') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'upper()' If accept only identifiers, we could produce more specific error message. Is there a bug in the documentation or in the implementation? [1] https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax

The type of the result of the copy() method
by Serhiy Storchaka Oct. 31, 2017

Oct. 31, 2017

The copy() methods of list, dict, bytearray, set, frozenset, WeakValueDictionary, WeakKeyDictionary return an instance of the base type containing the content of the original collection. The copy() methods of deque, defaultdict, OrderedDict, Counter, ChainMap, UserDict, UserList, WeakSet, ElementTree.Element return an instance of the same type as the original collection. The copy() method of mappingproxy returns a copy of the underlying mapping (using its copy() method). os.environ.copy() returns a dict. Shouldn't it be more consistent?

If aligned_alloc() is missing on your platform, please let us know.
by Stefan Krah Oct. 30, 2017

Oct. 30, 2017

Hello, we want to add aligned versions of allocation functions to 3.7: https://bugs.python.org/issue18835 C11 has aligned_alloc(). Linux, BSD, OSX, MSVC, Android all have either posix_memalign() or _aligned_malloc(). Cygwin apparently has posix_memalign(). MinGW has: https://github.com/Alexpux/mingw-w64/blob/master/mingw-w64-crt/misc/mingw-a… Victor wrote a patch and would like to avoid adding a (probably unnecessary) emulation function. I agree with that. So if any platform does not have some form of aligned_alloc(), please speak up. Stefan Krah

PEP 561: Distributing and Packaging Type Information
by Ethan Smith Oct. 30, 2017

Oct. 30, 2017

Hello all, I have completed an implementation for PEP 561, and believe it is time to share the PEP and implementation with python-dev Python-ideas threads: * PEP 561: Distributing and Packaging Type Information * PEP 561 v2 - Packaging Static Type Information * PEP 561: Distributing Type Information V3 The live version is here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0561/ As always, duplicated below. Ethan Smith --------------------------------------------------- PEP: 561 Title: Distributing and Packaging Type Information Author: Ethan Smith <ethan(a)ethanhs.me> Status: Draft Type: Standards Track Content-Type: text/x-rst Created: 09-Sep-2017 Python-Version: 3.7 Post-History: Abstract ======== PEP 484 introduced type hinting to Python, with goals of making typing gradual and easy to adopt. Currently, typing information must be distributed manually. This PEP provides a standardized means to package and distribute type information and an ordering for type checkers to resolve modules and collect this information for type checking using existing packaging architecture. Rationale ========= Currently, package authors wish to distribute code that has inline type information. However, there is no standard method to distribute packages with inline type annotations or syntax that can simultaneously be used at runtime and in type checking. Additionally, if one wished to ship typing information privately the only method would be via setting ``MYPYPATH`` or the equivalent to manually point to stubs. If the package can be released publicly, it can be added to typeshed [1]_. However, this does not scale and becomes a burden on the maintainers of typeshed. Additionally, it ties bugfixes to releases of the tool using typeshed. PEP 484 has a brief section on distributing typing information. In this section [2]_ the PEP recommends using ``shared/typehints/pythonX.Y/`` for shipping stub files. However, manually adding a path to stub files for each third party library does not scale. The simplest approach people have taken is to add ``site-packages`` to their ``MYPYPATH``, but this causes type checkers to fail on packages that are highly dynamic (e.g. sqlalchemy and Django). Specification ============= There are several motivations and methods of supporting typing in a package. This PEP recognizes three (3) types of packages that may be created: 1. The package maintainer would like to add type information inline. 2. The package maintainer would like to add type information via stubs. 3. A third party would like to share stub files for a package, but the maintainer does not want to include them in the source of the package. This PEP aims to support these scenarios and make them simple to add to packaging and deployment. The two major parts of this specification are the packaging specifications and the resolution order for resolving module type information. The packaging spec is based on and extends PEP 345 metadata. The type checking spec is meant to replace the ``shared/typehints/pythonX.Y/`` spec of PEP 484 [2]_. New third party stub libraries are encouraged to distribute stubs via the third party packaging proposed in this PEP in place of being added to typeshed. Typeshed will remain in use, but if maintainers are found, third party stubs in typeshed are encouraged to be split into their own package. Packaging Type Information -------------------------- In order to make packaging and distributing type information as simple and easy as possible, the distribution of type information, and typed Python code is done through existing packaging frameworks. This PEP adds a new item to the ``*.distinfo/METADATA`` file to contain metadata about a package's support for typing. The new item is optional, but must have a name of ``Typed`` and have a value of either ``inline`` or ``stubs``, if present. Metadata Examples:: Typed: inline Typed: stubs Stub Only Packages '''''''''''''''''' For package maintainers wishing to ship stub files containing all of their type information, it is prefered that the ``*.pyi`` stubs are alongside the corresponding ``*.py`` files. However, the stubs may be put in a sub-folder of the Python sources, with the same name the ``*.py`` files are in. For example, the ``flyingcircus`` package would have its stubs in the folder ``flyingcircus/flyingcircus/``. This path is chosen so that if stubs are not found in ``flyingcircus/`` the type checker may treat the subdirectory as a normal package. The normal resolution order of checking ``*.pyi`` before ``*.py`` will be maintained. Third Party Stub Packages ''''''''''''''''''''''''' Third parties seeking to distribute stub files are encouraged to contact the maintainer of the package about distribution alongside the package. If the maintainer does not wish to maintain or package stub files or type information inline, then a "third party stub package" should be created. The structure is similar, but slightly different from that of stub only packages. If the stubs are for the library ``flyingcircus`` then the package should be named ``flyingcircus-stubs`` and the stub files should be put in a sub-directory named ``flyingcircus``. This allows the stubs to be checked as if they were in a regular package. In addition, the third party stub package should indicate which version(s) of the runtime package are supported by indicating the runtime package's version(s) through the normal dependency data. For example, if there was a stub package ``flyingcircus-stubs``, it can indicate the versions of the runtime ``flyingcircus`` package supported through ``install_requires`` in distutils based tools, or the equivalent in other packaging tools. Type Checker Module Resolution Order ------------------------------------ The following is the order that type checkers supporting this PEP should resolve modules containing type information: 1. User code - the files the type checker is running on. 2. Stubs or Python source manually put in the beginning of the path. Type checkers should provide this to allow the user complete control of which stubs to use, and patch broken stubs/inline types from packages. 3. Third party stub packages - these packages can supersede the installed untyped packages. They can be found at ``pkg-stubs`` for package ``pkg``, however it is encouraged to check the package's metadata using packaging query APIs such as ``pkg_resources`` to assure that the package is meant for type checking, and is compatible with the installed version. 4. Inline packages - finally, if there is nothing overriding the installed package, and it opts into type checking. 5. Typeshed (if used) - Provides the stdlib types and several third party libraries Type checkers that check a different Python version than the version they run on must find the type information in the ``site-packages``/``dist-packages`` of that Python version. This can be queried e.g. ``pythonX.Y -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages())'``. It is also recommended that the type checker allow for the user to point to a particular Python binary, in case it is not in the path. To check if a package has opted into type checking, type checkers are recommended to use the ``pkg_resources`` module to query the package metadata. If the ``typed`` package metadata has ``None`` as its value, the package has not opted into type checking, and the type checker should skip that package. Implementation ============== A CPython branch with a modified distutils supporting the ``typed`` setup keyword lives here: [impl]_. In addition, a sample package with inline types is available [typed_pkg]_, as well as a sample package [pkg_checker]_ which reads the metadata of installed packages and reports on their status as either not typed, inline typed, or a stub package. Acknowledgements ================ This PEP would not have been possible without the ideas, feedback, and support of Ivan Levkivskyi, Jelle Zijlstra, Nick Coghlan, Daniel F Moisset, and Guido van Rossum. Version History =============== * 2017-10-26 * Added implementation references. * Added acknowledgements and version history. * 2017-10-06 * Rewritten to use .distinfo/METADATA over a distutils specific command. * Clarify versioning of third party stub packages. * 2017-09-11 * Added information about current solutions and typeshed. * Clarify rationale.

\G (match last position) regex operator non-existant in python?
by Ed Peschko Oct. 29, 2017

Oct. 29, 2017

All, perl has a regex assertion (\G) that allows multiple-match regular expressions to be able to use the position of the last match. Perl's documentation puts it this way: \G Match only at pos() (e.g. at the end-of-match position of prior m//g) Anyways, this is exceedingly powerful for matching regularly structured free-form records, and I was really surprised when I found out that python did not have it. For example, if findall supported this, it would be possible to write things like this (a quick and dirty ifconfig parser): pat = re.compile(r'\G(\S+)(.*?\n)(?=\S+|\Z)', re.S) val = """ eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx inet addr: xx.xx.xx.xx Bcast:xx.xx.xx.xx Mask:xx.xx.xx.xx ... lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 """ matches = re.findall(pat, val) So - why doesn't python have this? is it something that simply was overlooked, or is there another method of doing the same thing with arbitrarily complex freeform records? thanks much..

PEP Post-History
by Barry Warsaw Oct. 27, 2017

Oct. 27, 2017

We’ve made a small change to the PEP process which may affect readers of python-list and python-ideas, so I’d like to inform you of it. This change was made to PEP 1 and PEP 12. PEPs must have a Post-History header which records the dates at which the PEP is posted to mailing lists, in order to keep the general Python community in the loop as a PEP moves to final status. Until now, PEPs in development were supposed to be posted at least to python-dev and optionally to python-list[1]. This guideline predated the creation of the python-ideas mailing list. We’ve now changed this guideline so that Post-History will record the dates at which the PEP is posted to python-dev and optionally python-ideas. python-list is dropped from this requirement. python-dev is always the primary mailing list of record for Python development, and PEPs under development should be posted to python-dev as appropriate. python-ideas is the list for discussion of more speculative changes to Python, and it’s often where more complex PEPs, and even proto-PEPs are first raised and their concepts are hashed out. As such, it makes more sense to change the guideline to include python-ideas and/or python-dev. In the effort to keep the forums of record to a manageable number, python-list is dropped. If you have been watching for new PEPs to be posted to python-list, you are invited to follow either python-dev or python-ideas. Cheers, -Barry (on behalf of the Python development community) https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Both python-dev and python-ideas are available via Gmane. [1] PEPs may have a Discussions-To header which changes the list of forums where the PEP is discussed. In that case, Post-History records the dates that the PEP is posted to those forums. See PEP 1 for details.

MHonarc output is nice, practically the same as pipermail: https://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2010/12/threads.html If it is possible to enable (and maintain!) a MHonarc archive with just blue links along with the new interface, everyone should be happy.

[OT] Early PyCon Pictures, anyone?
by Steve Holden Oct. 23, 2017

Oct. 23, 2017

Hi all, I've giving a talk on the history of PyCon at PyCon UK this weekend. I'd love to include some photos from the early conferences but alas most of the links I've found on the web are stale and broken. If anyone has pictures, or valid links to such pictures, I'd be delighted to hear about them. Thanks Steve Holden
