PEP 484 update proposal: annotating decorated declarations
by Guido van Rossum 03 Jun '17

03 Jun '17

There's a PR to the peps proposal here: https://github.com/python/peps/pull/242 The full text of the current proposal is below. The motivation for this is that for complex decorators, even if the type checker can figure out what's going on (by taking the signature of the decorator into account), it's sometimes helpful to the human reader of the code to be reminded of the type after applying the decorators (or a stack thereof). Much discussion can be found in the PR. Note that we ended up having `Callable` in the type because there's no rule that says a decorator returns a function type (e.g. `property` doesn't). This is a small thing but I'd like to run it by a larger audience than the core mypy devs who have commented so far. There was a brief discussion on python-ideas (my original <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-April/045548.html>, favorable reply <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-May/045550.html> by Nick, my response <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2017-May/045557.html>). Credit for the proposal goes to Naomi Seyfer, with discussion by Ivan Levkivskyi and Jukka Lehtosalo. If there's no further debate here I'll merge it into the PEP and an implementation will hopefully appear in the next version of the typing module (also hopefully to be included in CPython 3.6.2 and 3.5.4). Here's the proposed text (wordsmithing suggestions in the PR please): +Decorators +---------- + +Decorators can modify the types of the functions or classes they +decorate. Use the ``decorated_type`` decorator to declare the type of +the resulting item after all other decorators have been applied:: + + from typing import ContextManager, Iterator, decorated_type + from contextlib import contextmanager + + class DatabaseSession: ... + + @decorated_type(Callable[[str], ContextManager[DatabaseSession]]) + @contextmanager + def session(url: str) -> Iterator[DatabaseSession]: + s = DatabaseSession(url) + try: + yield s + finally: + s.close() + +The argument of ``decorated_type`` is a type annotation on the name +being declared (``session``, in the example above). If you have +multiple decorators, ``decorated_type`` must be topmost. The +``decorated_type`` decorator is invalid on a function declaration that +is also decorated with ``overload``, but you can annotate the +implementation of the overload series with ``decorated_type``. + -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido <http://python.org/%7Eguido>)

Aligning the packaging.python.org theme with the rest of the docs
by Nick Coghlan 02 Jun '17

02 Jun '17

Hi folks, Over on https://github.com/pypa/python-packaging-user-guide/pull/305#issuecomment-3… we're looking to update the theming of packaging.python.org to match that of the language documentation at docs.python.org. Doing that would also entail updating the documentation of the individual tools and services (pip, pypi, setuptools, wheel, etc) to maintain consistency with the main packaging user guide, so Jon has tentatively broken the theme out as a (not yet published anywhere) "pypa-theme" package to make it easier to re-use across multiple projects. The question that occurred to me is whether or not it might make more sense to instead call that package "psf-docs-theme", to reflect that it's intended specifically for projects that are legally backed by the PSF, and that general Python projects looking for a nice, high-contrast, theme should consider using an org independent one like Alabaster instead. Thoughts? Should we stick with pypa-theme as the name? Switch to psf-docs-theme? Publish both, with pypa-theme adding PyPA specific elements to a more general psf-docs-theme? Cheers, Nick. P.S. In case folks aren't aware of the full legal arrangements here: in addition to the informal "Python Packaging Authority" designation, there's also a formally constituted PSF Packaging Working Group that provides the legal connection back to the PSF. That means the relationship between PyPA and the PSF ends up being pretty similar to the one between python-dev and the PSF, where there's no direct PSF involvement in day to day development activities, but the PSF provides the legal and financial backing needed to sustainably maintain popular community-supported software and services. Part of my rationale for suggesting the inclusion of "psf" in the package name is to make it clear that the intent would be to create a clear and distinctive "trade dress" for the documentation of directly PSF backed projects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_dress#Protection_for_electronic_interfa… Future requests to use the theme (beyond CPython and the PyPA) could then be run through the PSF Trademarks committee, as with requests to use the registered marks. Whereas if we go with pypa-theme, then that would just be a non-precedent-setting agreement between PyPA and CPython to share a documentation theme, without trying to define any form of documentation trade dress for the PSF in general. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan(a)gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

Put token information in one place
by Serhiy Storchaka 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Currently when you add a new token you need to change a couple of files: * Include/token.h * _PyParser_TokenNames in Parser/tokenizer.c * PyToken_OneChar(), PyToken_TwoChars() or PyToken_ThreeChars() in Parser/tokenizer.c * Lib/token.py (generated from Include/token.h) * EXACT_TOKEN_TYPES in Lib/tokenize.py * Operator, Bracket or Special in Lib/tokenize.py * Doc/library/token.rst It is possible to generate all this information from a single source. Proposed in [1] patch uses Lib/token.py as an initial source. But maybe Lib/token.py also should be generated from some file in general format? Some information can be derived from Grammar/Grammar, but not all. Needed also a mapping between token strings ('(' or '>=') and names (LPAR, GREATEREQUAL). Can this be added in Grammar/Grammar or a new file? There is a related problem, the tokenize module uses three additional tokens not used by the C tokenizer. It modifies the content of the token module after importing it, that is not good. [2] One of solutions is making a copy of tok_names in tokenize before modifying it, but this doesn't work, because third-party code search tokenize constants in token.tok_names. Other solution is adding tokenize specific constants to the token module. Is this good to expose in the token module tokens not used in the C tokenizer? Non-terminal symbols are generated automatically, Lib/symbol.py from Include/graminit.h, and Include/graminit.h and Python/graminit.c from Grammar/Grammar by Parser/pgen. Is it worth to generate Lib/symbol.py by pgen too? Can pgen be implemented in Python? See also similar issue for opcodes.

Backport ssl.MemoryBIO on Python 2.7?
by Victor Stinner 30 May '17

30 May '17

Hi, Would you be ok to backport ssl.MemoryBIO and ssl.SSLObject on Python 2.7? I can do the backport. https://docs.python.org/dev/library/ssl.html#ssl.MemoryBIO Cory Benfield told me that it's a blocking issue for him to implement his PEP 543 -- A Unified TLS API for Python 2.7: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0543/ And I expect that if a new cool TLS API happens, people will want to use it on Python 2.7-3.6, not only on Python 3.7. Security evolves more quickly that the current Python release process, and people wants to keep their application secure. >From what I understood, he wants to first implement an abstract MemoryBIO API (http://sans-io.readthedocs.io/ like API? I'm not sure about that), and then implement a socket/FD based on top of that. Maybe later, some implementations might have a fast-path using socket/FD directly. He described me his PEP and I strongly support it (sorry, I missed it when he posted it on python-dev), but we decided (Guido van Rossum, Christian Heimes, Cory Benfield and me, see the tweet below) to not put this in the stdlib right now, but spend more time on testing it on Twisted, asyncio, requests, etc. So publishing an implementation on PyPI was proposed instead. It seems like we agreed on a smooth plan (or am I wrong, Cory?). https://twitter.com/VictorStinner/status/865467388141027329 I'm quite sure that Twisted will love MemoryBIO on Python 2.7 as well, to implement TLS, especially on Windows using IOCP. Currently, external libraries (C extensions) are required. I'm not sure if the PEP 466 should be amended for that? Is a new PEP really needed? MemoryBIO/SSLObject are tiny. Nick (Coghlan): what do you think? https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0466/ Victor

Re: [Python-Dev] Aligning the packaging.python.org theme with the rest of the docs
by David Mertz 30 May '17

This is a side issue, do I don't want to go too long with it. But *NO* we can't always give permission. The problem isn't how permissive PSF might like to be in the abstract, but trademark law itself. Trademark is "enforce it or lose it" ... Even passively allowing dilutive derivatives would cause us to lose control of the mark, i.e. we would not have legal authority to prohibit the misleading uses we actually care about preventing.

Deprecate invalid ctypes call protection on Windows
by Steve Dower 27 May '17

27 May '17

One of the main reasons we are stuck with an old libffi fork in CPython is because the newer versions do not support protection from calling functions with too few/many arguments: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ctypes.html?highlight=ctypes#calling-func… There are a number of caveats here, including "this only works on Windows", but since it is documented we cannot just remove the behaviour without a deprecation period. I'd like to propose a highly-accelerated deprecation period for this specific feature, starting in CPython 3.6.2 and being "completed" in 3.7.0, when we will hopefully move onto a newer libffi. In general, the "feature" is a misfeature anyway, since calling a native function with incorrect arguments is unsupported and a very easy way to cause information leakage or code execution vulnerabilities. There may be an argument for removing the functionality immediately, but honestly I think changing libffi in a point release is higher risk. Once the special protection is removed, most of these cases will become OSError due to the general protection against segmentation faults. Some will undoubtedly fall through the cracks and crash the entire interpreter, but these are unavoidable (and really ought to crash to avoid potential exploits). Does anyone have any reasons to oppose this? It already has votes from another Windows expert and the 3.6/3.7 Release Manager, but we wanted to see if anyone has a concern we haven't thought of. Cheers, Steve

2017 Python Language Summit coverage
by Jake Edge 26 May '17

26 May '17

Hola python-dev, Thanks to Larry and Barry, I was able to sit in on the Python Language Summit again this year. The start of the coverage for that is now available. The starting point is the overview article, here: https://lwn.net/Articles/723251/ (for non-subscribers, this link will get around the paywall: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/723251/2d2cbb3329dd87f8/ ) It will be updated as I add more sessions over the next week or so. LWN subscribers can see the content right away, but one week after they are published in the weekly edition, they become freely available for everyone. Until then, though, feel free to share the SubscriberLinks I am posting here. Python 3.6.x, 3.7.0, and beyond: https://lwn.net/Articles/723252/ or https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/723252/c5bfea8533558bab/ New CPython workflow issues: https://lwn.net/Articles/723418/ or https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/723418/62487f893b324500/ The state of bugs.python.org: https://lwn.net/Articles/723513/ or https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/723513/7e4e2e626fc93606/ Progress on the Gilectomy: https://lwn.net/Articles/723514/ or https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/723514/70df37b92c746d62/ Hopefully I captured things reasonably well -- if you have corrections or clarifications (or just comments :) , I would recommend posting them as comments on the article. I will post an update next week with the next round (with luck, all of the rest of them). enjoy! jake -- Jake Edge - LWN - jake(a)lwn.net - http://lwn.net

Snap Python for simple distribution across multiple Linux distros
by Martin Wimpress 25 May '17

25 May '17

Hi all, I work at Canonical as part of the engineering team developing Ubuntu and Snapcraft [1] and I'm a long time Python fan :-) We've created snaps, a platform that enables projects to directly control delivery of software updates to users. This video of a lightning talk by dlang developers at DConf2017 [2] shows how they've made good use of snaps to distribute their compiler. They found the release channels particularly useful so their users can track a specific release. Is there someone here who'd be interested in doing the same for Python? [1] https://snapcraft.io/ [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-bDzr4gYUU [3] https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install [4] https://build.snapcraft.io/ -- Regards, Martin.
