/*Hi folks!*/
I have installed clpython recently and encountered some problems while playing around with the provided interpreter modes.
Here is a sample SLIME session -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; SLIME 2011-01-28 *CL-USER> (ql:quickload :clpython)* To load "clpython": Load 1 ASDF system: clpython ; Loading "clpython" ......... CLPython quick start guide: Run a string of Python code: (CLPYTHON:RUN "for i in range(4): print i") Run a Python file: (CLPYTHON:RUN #p"~/example/foo.py") Start the Python "interpreter" (REPL): (CLPYTHON.APP.REPL:REPL) To start mixed Python/Lisp input mode: (CLPYTHON.PARSER:ENTER-MIXED-LISP-PYTHON-SYNTAX) Run the test suite: (ASDF:OPERATE 'ASDF:TEST-OP :CLPYTHON)
(:CLPYTHON)
*CL-USER> (CLPYTHON.PARSER:ENTER-MIXED-LISP-PYTHON-SYNTAX)* ;; The mixed Lisp/Python syntax mode is now active: custom *readtable* is set. ;; Python variables will be interned in the #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP-USER">. ;; To exit the mixed mode: (CLPYTHON.PARSER:EXIT-MIXED-LISP-PYTHON-SYNTAX) ; No value *CL-USER> (+ 2 3)*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point the SLIME doesn't return back! I tested it also using a python expression. The same behaviour! C-c C-c drops the session into dubugger which in turn is not responsive! To terminate it the whole process must be killed.
Tab completion also leads to a hanging emacs!

In a linux console it behaves differently but not exactly as described in the documentation. Here is a sample session:

The evaluation of "(double 4)" fails.

There is also a problem with python repl:

CLPython quick start guide: Run a string of Python code: (CLPYTHON:RUN "for i in range(4): print i") Run a Python file: (CLPYTHON:RUN #p"~/example/foo.py") Start the Python "interpreter" (REPL): (CLPYTHON.APP.REPL:REPL) To start mixed Python/Lisp input mode: (CLPYTHON.PARSER:ENTER-MIXED-LISP-PYTHON-SYNTAX) Run the test suite: (ASDF:OPERATE 'ASDF:TEST-OP :CLPYTHON)

Just for testing purpose I have commented the following code block in os.py
----------------------------------------------- /..... 742 if not _exists("urandom"): 743 def urandom(n): 744 """urandom(n) -> str 745 746 Return a string of n random bytes suitable for cryptographic use. 747 748 """ 749 try: 750 _urandomfd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY) 751 except (OSError, IOError): 752 raise NotImplementedError("/dev/urandom (or equivalent) not found") 753 try: 754 bs = b"" 755 while n > len(bs): 756 bs += read(_urandomfd, n - len(bs)) 757 finally: 758 close(_urandomfd) 759 return bs/ -------------------------------------------------
and tried the "import os" again and got the same error:
--- Debugger window ---------------------------------- UnexpectedEofError: Unexpected end of file. [Condition of type CLPYTHON.USER.BUILTIN.TYPE.EXCEPTION:|UnexpectedEofError|]

The situation under Clozure is even worse! The mixed interpreter doesn't work neither in SLIME nor directly in linux console.The python repl behaviour is similar to that of SBCL.
I'm using Clozure 1.6-r14468M and SBCL 1.0.47 on Linux 64bit. The installed version of clpython ist "clpython-20110219-git".
Are these known issues or am I missing something here?
Any feedback is very much appreciated!
Regards Nik
