[SOLVED] Python 2.7 is broken

Postby RMJ » Fri May 05, 2017 9:50 pm

Since this week softwares like offlineimaps and other python2 based have not been working because something is broken with the "random" python2.7 built-in.

The broken package is: python2-2.7.13-2-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
Downgrading back to python2-2.7.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz did the trick, but I'm still waiting the FIX.


Edit (11.2017): solved with python2-2.7.14-1 update.

What device, and what kernel package are you using?

I'm using a Samsung Chromebook (the first one, snow something...)

I can reproduce this on the cubox-i4.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ uname -r
3.14.79-1-ARCH

$ python2 -c "import random"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 885, in <module>
_inst = Random()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 97, in __init__
self.seed(x)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 113, in seed
a = long(_hexlify(_urandom(2500)), 16)
OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
')

Falling back to python2-2.7.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz fixes the issue but raises another. Maybe this is off-topic but here's the error.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

I can't get a debug build of python2 (due to the issue), so I can't find the specific cause with any certainty, but ultimately the problem is that /usr/lib/python2.7/random.py relies solely on NotImplementedError to select alternative implementations while low-level code somewhere else assumes the user will check for ENOSYS via OSError. As such, a quick-and-dirty workaround is to replace both instances of
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'except NotImplementedError:')
in random.py with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'except (NotImplementedError, OSError):')

The same error on Odroid C1 (3.10.104-11-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 23 20:57:50 MDT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux)
And here is another thread about this error (with no fixes :( ) viewtopic.php?f=15&t=11647


Tried dirty hack suggested in previous post, but after applying it mopidy still fails with following error:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 309, in __init__
self._authkey = AuthenticationString(os.urandom(32))
OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
')

Having delved into the actual cpython source, the issue seems to stem from the fact that getentropy() is not implemented, yet configure thinks it is and defines PY_GETENTROPY anyway. The proper fix at this point would be to patch configure.ac in the cpython source to use something like
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
char buf;
return getentropy(&buf,1);
}
')
instead of trusting the defintion as it does now.

Great.

So... how does the package mantainer knows about what we're discussing?


EDIT:
I downgraded it and am currently ignoring it's upgrade with:

As a general follow up here's why I did until waiting the fix:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
$ cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
$ sudo pacman -U python2-2.7.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz
$ sudo pacman -Syu --ignore python2
')

Downgrading to python2-2.7.13-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz works. I can run my programs but i get lots of error messages:
