Python is a mature programming language which has established a reputation for
|
|
|
|
|
stability. In order to maintain this reputation, the developers would like to
|
|
|
|
|
know of any deficiencies you find in Python.

Using the Python issue tracker
|
|
|
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bug reports for Python itself should be submitted via the Python Bug Tracker
|
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
|
|
|
(http://bugs.python.org/). The bug tracker offers a Web form which allows
|
|
|
|
|
pertinent information to be entered and submitted to the developers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first step in filing a report is to determine whether the problem has
|
|
|
|
|
already been reported. The advantage in doing so, aside from saving the
|
|
|
|
|
developers time, is that you learn what has been done to fix it; it may be that
|
|
|
|
|
the problem has already been fixed for the next release, or additional
|
|
|
|
|
information is needed (in which case you are welcome to provide it if you can!).
|
|
|
|
|
To do this, search the bug database using the search box on the top of the page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

If the problem you're reporting is not already in the bug tracker, go back to

test_math and test_cmath are failing on the FreeBSD 6.2 trunk buildbot,
apparently because tanh(-0.) loses the sign of zero on that platform.
If true, this is a bug in FreeBSD.
Added a configure test to verify this. I still need to figure out
how best to deal with this failure.

Issue 2665: On Windows, sys.stderr does not contain a valid file when running without a console.
It seems to work, but will fail at the first flush.
This causes IDLE to crash when too many warnings are printed.
Will backport.

Major improvements:
* Default to using /dev/tty for the password prompt and input before
falling back to sys.stdin and sys.stderr.
* Use sys.stderr instead of sys.stdout.
* print the 'password may be echoed' warning to stream used to display
the prompt rather than always sys.stderr.
* warn() with GetPassWarning when input may be echoed.

Fix a backwards-compatibility mistake where a new optional argument for
warnings.showwarning() was being used. This broke pre-existing replacements for
the function since they didn't support the extra argument.
Closes issue 2705.

This should fix issue2632. A long description of the two competing
problems is in the bug report (one old, one recently introduced trying
to fix the old one). In short:
buffer data during socket._fileobject.read() and readlines() within a
cStringIO object instead of a [] of str()s returned from the recv()
call.
This prevents excessive memory use due to the size parameter being
passed to recv() being grossly larger than the actual size of the data
returned *and* prevents excessive cpu usage due to looping in python
calling recv() with a very tiny size value if min() is used as the
previous memory-use bug "fix" did.
It also documents what the socket._fileobject._rbufsize member is
actually used for.
This is a candidate for back porting to 2.5.

Fix for issue #2573: Can't change the framework name on OS X builds
This introduces a new configure option: --with-framework-name=NAME

of the Python framework with different names (such as a normal build
and a debug build).

In test_io, StatefulIncrementalDecoderTest was not part of the test suite.
And of course, the test failed:
a bytearray was used without reason in io.TextIOWrapper.tell().
The difference is that iterating over bytes (i.e. str in python2.6) returns 1-char bytes,
whereas bytearrays yield integers.
This code should still work with python3.0

Issue 705836: Fix struct.pack(">f", 1e40) to behave consistently

referencing it.
