| ajmitch | hads: I'd like to go, maybe I'll have to see if I can stay at my sister's place :) | 03:23 |
|---|---|---|
| * ibeardslee just had the word from above .. it'd have to be under my own steam | 03:24 | |
| ajmitch | shame | 03:24 |
| ibeardslee | aye | 03:25 |
| ajmitch | ticket+accomodation+travel+days off work tends to add up a bit | 03:25 |
| * ibeardslee really needs to find more interesting things to talk about | 03:26 | |
| ojwb | possible tip - osdc last year was in canberra and from wellington i found it was much cheaper (and actually quicker) to fly to sydney and get the bus which runs from sydney airport to central canberra | 03:28 |
| ojwb | i saw something suggesting there might be direct flights by lca though | 03:28 |
| ojwb | which would at least make that a slower option | 03:29 |
| ajmitch | ojwb: yeah I've taken the bus from sydney airport before, it often works out pretty cheap | 03:32 |
| ojwb | the one annoying feature is it's cheaper if you say exactly which bus you'll be on, which is a bit hard to predict with customs, etc | 03:33 |
| ajmitch | unless you want to wait around for some time | 03:33 |
| * ajmitch has always found australian customs to be fairly quick | 03:33 | |
| ojwb | yeah, usually isn't bad, but it'd be annoying to have to buy a whole new ticket | 03:34 |
| ajmitch | do you have a NZ passport? | 03:35 |
| ajmitch | in the last few years it's been made quicker with the automation, you don't really need to talk to a customs person | 03:36 |
| ojwb | no, uk one | 03:36 |
| ojwb | not quite been here long enough to get an nz one | 03:36 |
| hads | It does add up, ticket price is only a moderate percentage. | 03:45 |
| hads | I've missed the last two though so wasn't missing a third. | 03:45 |
| G | ajmitch: Customs is only quicker etc, if you have absolutely nothing to declare, living rurally throws that out of the water so to speak | 05:35 |
| G | 30-60 minutes in customs hall at Brisbane last time (includes the queue when I arrived in school holidays morning), vs straight through the MAF checkpoint at Auckland at 11:30pm with quite a few others | 05:37 |
| ojwb | MAF seemed very slack coming in a few months back | 05:59 |
| ojwb | no interest in walking boots at all | 05:59 |
| G | ojwb: I have my entry to Australia routine down good "yeah, I live on a farm, but nothing I've got in my bag has been on the farmland, only the driveway" they umm and ahhh for a minute then decide to just put me through the dog queue | 08:39 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 19:13 |
| Atamira | morning | 19:20 |
| Atamira | raining up here | 19:20 |
| ibeardslee | supposed to be raining here this morning | 19:24 |
| ibeardslee | haven't seen it yet | 19:24 |
| ojwb | morning | 19:28 |
| mwhudson | morning | 19:39 |
| ajmitch | morning | 19:48 |
| chilts | morning | 20:25 |
| ojwb | every time I go to report a bug in ubuntu I find it harder to find the link | 20:27 |
| ojwb | aha - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/?no-redirect | 20:28 |
| thomi | lifeless: you around? Got a minute to answer some questions about testtools & unicode? | 23:19 |
| thomi | I'm trying to figure out what I have to do to make testtools work with an assertion message that contains unicode characters, currently I get this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1259064/ | 23:21 |
| lifeless | thomi: ok, so thats not testools thats blowing up :) | 23:22 |
| lifeless | UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 425: ordinal not in range(128) | 23:22 |
| lifeless | note that its a *decode* error, | 23:23 |
| lifeless | but the line of code referenced is doing an *encode* operation. | 23:23 |
| thomi | ... huh | 23:23 |
| lifeless | thomi: you have a bytestring (type(foo) is str), which is non-ascii, and is being passed in to a thing that is expecting a string (type(foo) is unicode)) | 23:24 |
| thomi | hmmm | 23:24 |
| lifeless | thomi: I bet you that if you put a debug statement there, or run under pdb or something | 23:24 |
| lifeless | you'll find text is a str, not unicode | 23:24 |
| thomi | hmmmm | 23:25 |
| lifeless | thomi: now, testtools can deal with arbitrary binary data, but you're in the text attachment codepath | 23:25 |
| thomi | ahhhh | 23:25 |
| lifeless | because backtraces are strings, not bytestrings (normally) | 23:25 |
| thomi | the penny drops! | 23:25 |
| lifeless | thomi: note that if you do this: raise MyException(u"foo\x8") | 23:25 |
| lifeless | under python2.x | 23:25 |
| lifeless | you'll fuck things up royally | 23:26 |
| thomi | yeah, I'm attaching content using text_content | 23:26 |
| thomi | ...which, n this test, will have odd unicode characters in it, and I'm using bytestrings :( | 23:26 |
| lifeless | because python2 's __unicode__ and __str__ for Exception is broken. | 23:26 |
| lifeless | thomi: so, either attach them as non-text | 23:26 |
| lifeless | thomi: or attach them as text_content with actual strings, not bytestrings | 23:27 |
| thomi | this is python 2, so my understanding is that there's just str and unicode, right? | 23:27 |
| lifeless | effectively | 23:28 |
| lifeless | there is a bytes type in 2.7, but its just an alias to str | 23:29 |
| lifeless | so its not terribly useful in catching confused types early. | 23:29 |
| lifeless | thomi: can you paste the attaching code? | 23:29 |
| thomi | sure, I was using this: | 23:30 |
| thomi | stdout, stderr = process.communicate() | 23:30 |
| thomi | self.addDetail('stdout', text_content(stdout)) | 23:30 |
| thomi | where 'process' is a subprocess.Popen object | 23:30 |
| lifeless | ah yes, so thats not going to work so well :) | 23:47 |
| lifeless | as it could be anything ;> | 23:47 |
| lifeless | you can either decode stdout | 23:48 |
| lifeless | if you know, for instance, that its utf8 | 23:48 |
| lifeless | stdout = stdout.decode('utf8') | 23:48 |
| lifeless | then it will be text that you're adding | 23:48 |
| lifeless | or you can use the lower level layers to add what you've got with a more conservative encoding (e.g. cp1280 or whatever it is that accepts 256 bytes as legitimate, never crashes. | 23:49 |
| lifeless | thomi: e.g. | 23:50 |
| lifeless | self.addDetail('stdout', Content(ContentType('text', 'plain', {'charset': 'iso-8859-1'}), lambda:[stdout])) | 23:52 |
| thomi | lifeless: cool, that works - thanks :) | 23:55 |
| lifeless | thomi: np | 23:56 |
