in this section is new in 2.4, and that's all mentioned already in
versionadded{} thingies at the end of the section. It hurts readability
to have them after every line <wink>.
docstrings toward being a lot shorter, and telling the whole truth in
the manual instead. This change is an example: the manual has detailed
explanations of the option names now, so it's Bad to repeat them in
the docstring (two detailed descriptions are certain to get out of synch).
Just listing the names has memory-jogging benefits, though, so that's
still helpful in the docstring.
- Test filenames sometimes had trailing .pyc or .pyo sufixes
(when module __file__ did).
- Trailing spaces spaces in expected output were dropped.
New default failure format:
- Separation of examples from file info makes examples easier to see
- More vertical separation, improving readability
- Emacs-recognized file info (also closer to Python exception format)
a new file, don't raise a dialog. IDLEfork 954928.
2. Refactor EditorWindow.wakeup() to WindowList.ListedToplevel.wakeup() and
clarify that the Toplevel of an EditorWindow is a WindowList.ListedToplevel.
3. Make a number of improvements to keyboard focus binding. Improve window
raising, especially in the debugger. IDLEfork Bug 763524 (GvR list).
4. Bump idlever to 1.1a3

are non-obvious either way because the newline character "is invisible",
but it's still there all the same, and it's easier to explain/predict
if that reality is left alone.
'\037\014\n' (see http://quimby.gnus.org/notes/BABYL) so look for that as well,
so that applications won't get '\037' as the last line of the last message.
truncate() left the stream position unchanged, which meant the
"truncated" data didn't go away:
>>> io.write('abc')
>>> io.truncate(0)
>>> io.write('xyz')
>>> io.getvalue()
'abcxyz'

test_queue has failed occasionally for years, and there's more than one
cause.
The primary cause in the SF report appears to be that the test driver
really needs entirely different code for thread tests that expect to
raise exceptions than for thread tests that are testing non-exceptional
blocking semantics. So gave them entirely different code, and added a
ton of explanation.
Another cause is that the blocking thread tests relied in several places
on the difference between sleep(.1) and sleep(.2) being long enough for
the trigger thread to do its stuff sot that the blocking thread could make
progress. That's just not reliable on a loaded machine. Boosted the 0.2's
to 10.0's instead, which should be long enough under any non-catastrophic
system conditions. That doesn't make the test take longer to run, the 10.0
is just how long the blocking thread is *willing* to wait for the trigger
thread to do something. But if the Queue module is plain broken, such
tests will indeed take 10 seconds to fail now.
For similar (heavy load) reasons, changed threaded-test termination to
be willing to wait 10 seconds for the signal thread to end too.
* Check the found object for a None value during a contains/has_key
lookup. Perhaps it will help the OP who is likely suffering from an
occassional GC or threading object deletion after self.data is checked.
* Complete the previous patch by removing the unnecessary indirection
for weak dict iterators. Makes the code cleaner and more readable.
It's redundant, since no output is written anyway: DebugRunner doesn't
generate any output for failures and unexpected exceptions, and since
verbose=False, it won't generate any output for non-failures either.
appeared at the end of a line. Repaired that. Also noted that it's
too easy to provoke this implementation into requiring exponential
time, and especially when a test fails. I'll replace the implementation
with an always-efficient one later.
