I'm running into a problem with large POST data (>16384 bytes) when using Django 1.2.3, PyISAPIe v1.1.0-rc4, and IIS 7.5. For example, when submitting approx. 60kB of form data using POST, the following happens: The first 16kB block of POST data are correct The next 16kB block is a repeat of the first block The next 16kB is another repeat of the first block The rest (<16kB) is correct again The interesting part is that when using content-type="multipart/form-data" , it works fine. Using this information I tracked down the likely location of the bug to WSGIRequest._get_raw_post_data in django

I'm working on a python c-extension and want to create an instance of python datetime object with a unix timestamp. On the documentation site ( http://docs.python.org/c-api/datetime.html ) I found the function PyDateTime_FromTimestamp() which returns a new reference based on an input parameter. The description is as follows: Create and return a new datetime.datetime object given an argument tuple suitable for passing to datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(). I tried out to call the function with a PyFloat_Object but the function always returns NULL (even if I simply put in 0). Does somebody have

Given a file /myfiles/file_with_invalid_encoding.txt with invalid UTF8 as: parse this correctly Føö»BÃ¥r also parse this correctly I am using the builtin Python open function from the C API as follows the minimal example (excluding C Python setup boilerplate): const char* filepath = "/myfiles/file_with_invalid_encoding.txt"; PyObject* iomodule = PyImport_ImportModule( "builtins" ); if( iomodule == NULL ) { PyErr_PrintEx(100); return; } PyObject* openfunction = PyObject_GetAttrString( iomodule, "open" ); if( openfunction == NULL ) { PyErr_PrintEx(100); return; } PyObject* openfile = PyObject

I am trying to learn the intern mechanism of python using in the implementation of string object. But in both PyObject *PyString_FromString(const char *str) and PyObject *PyString_FromStringAndSize(const char *str, Py_ssize_t size) python interned strings only when its size is 0 or 1. PyObject * PyString_FromString(const char *str) { fprintf(stdout, "creating %s\n", str);------------[1] //... //creating... /* share short strings */ if (size == 0) { PyObject *t = (PyObject *)op; PyString_InternInPlace(&t); op = (PyStringObject *)t; nullstring = op; Py_INCREF(op); } else if (size == 1) {

How can I get a char* from a PyObject which points to a string. For example, this is the python script, Test.Connect("272.22.20.65", 1234) and this is the C++ code, static PyObject* Connect(PyObject *self, PyObject *args) { PyObject* pIP; PyObject* pPort; if (!PyArg_UnpackTuple(args, "Connect", 2, 2, &pIP, &pPort)) { return NULL; } const char* zIP = GetAsString(pIP); long iPort = PyLong_AsLong(pPort); I want to get that IP address as a char* (GetAsString is a dummy function :D ). Please note that I'm using Python 3.1. P.S. I don't think this question got the correct answer , since there is no
