The fix for bug #1119418 (xrange() builtin accepts keyword arg silently) included in Python 2.4.2c1+ breaks code that passes keyword argument(s) into classes derived from the built-in set class, even if those derived classes explictly accept those keyword arguments and avoid passing them down to the built-in base class. Simplified version of code in attached BuiltinSetKeywordArgumentsCheckBroken.py fails at (G) due to bug #1119418 if version < 2.4.2c1; if version >= 2.4.2c1 (G) passes thanks to that bug fix, but instead (H) incorrectly-in-my-view fails. [Presume similar cases would fail for xrange and the other classes mentioned in #1119418.] -- David Bruce (Tested on 2.4, 2.4.2, 2.5a2 on linux2, win32.)

Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Raymond, what to do in this case? Note that other built-in types, such as list(), do accept keyword arguments.

Logged In: YES user_id=1326842 This bug was introduced as part of the fix for bug #1119418. It also affects collections.deque. Can't the _PyArg_NoKeywords check simply be moved to set_init and deque_init as it was done for zipimport.zipimporter? array.array doesn't need to be changed, since it already does all of its initialization in its __new__ method. The rest of the types changed in that fix should not be affected, since they are immutable.

I prefer the approach used by list().

I'll do that, only in set_init, you have if (!PyArg_UnpackTuple(args, self->ob_type->tp_name, 0, 1, &iterable)) Changing this to use PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords would require a format string of "|O:" + self->ob_type->tp_name Is it worth constructing that string each time set_init() is called or should it just be " O:set" for sets and frozensets?

My proposed solution: - if(!PyArg_NoKeywords("set()", kwds) + if(type == &PySet_Type && !PyArg_NoKeywords("set()", kwds)

I fixed setobject.c in revisions 53380 and 53381. Please apply similar fixes to all the other places being bitten my the pervasive NoKeywords tests.

Attaching patch. File Added: nokeywordchecks.diff

That looks about right. Please add test cases that fail without the patch and succeed with the patch. Also, put a comment in Misc/NEWS. If the whole test suite passes, go ahead and check-in to Py2.5.1 and the head. Thanks, Raymond

Were these changes applied by Raymond? I don't think there were NEWS entries though.

I'll create the testcases and commit the patch (as well as NEWS entries :) when I find the time.

Committed as rev. 53509, 53510 (2.5).

There are more of these that need to be fixed: bufferobject.c:236: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("buffer()", kw)) classobject.c:2261: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("instancemethod", kw)) exceptions.c:57: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords(self->ob_type->tp_name, kwds)) funcobject.c:653: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("classmethod", kwds)) funcobject.c:810: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("staticmethod", kwds)) rangeobject.c:48: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("xrange()", kw)) sliceobject.c:197: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("slice()", kw)) typeobject.c:5773: if (!_PyArg_NoKeywords("super", kwds))

The exceptions.c one is in __init__, so it is not a problem when the derived class doesn't pass along kwargs to super.__init__. I deliberately left the others as they were since their type objects lack the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag.

Okay, it looks like this bug was already fixed.
