It's possible to create insane datetime objects by using the constructor
"backdoor" inserted for fast unpickling. Doing extensive range checking
would eliminate the backdoor's purpose (speed), but at least a little
checking can stop honest mistakes.
Bugfix candidate.
* The default __reversed__ performed badly, so reintroduced a custom
reverse iterator.
* Added length transparency to improve speed with map(), list(), etc.
array.extend() now accepts iterable arguments implements as a series
of appends. Besides being a user convenience and matching the behavior
for lists, this the saves memory and cycles that would be used to
create a temporary array object.
lists. Speeds append() operations and reduces memory requirements
(because of more conservative overallocation).
Paves the way for the feature request for array.extend() to support
arbitrary iterable arguments.
The writelines() method now accepts any iterable argument and writes
the lines one at a time rather than using ''.join(lines) followed by
a single write. Results in considerable memory savings and makes
the method suitable for use with generator expressions.

This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)

day of year).

Simplifies the API, reduces the code size, adds flexibility, and makes
deques work with bisect.bisect(), random.shuffle(), and random.sample().
* Add doctests for the examples in the library reference.
* Add two methods, left() and right(), modeled after deques in C++ STL.
* Apply the new method to asynchat.py.
* Add comparison operators to make deques more substitutable for lists.
* Replace the LookupErrors with IndexErrors to more closely match lists.
* Fixed a bug in the compatibility interface set_location() method
where it would not properly search to the next nearest key when
used on BTree databases. [SF bug id 788421]
* Fixed a bug in the compatibility interface set_location() method
where it could crash when looking up keys in a hash or recno
format database due to an incorrect free().
Allow the user to create Tkinter.Tcl objects which are
just like Tkinter.Tk objects except that they do not
initialize Tk. This is useful in circumstances where the
script is being run on machines that do not have an X
server running -- in those cases, Tk initialization fails,
even if no window is ever created.
Includes documentation change and tests.
Tested on Linux, Solaris and Windows.

as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module." This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats. However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints. This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.
This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not
set, and if not set, behaves as if set to 1--i.e. backward compatible)
that can be used on a little-endian system to use the same byte order
as the SGI. Using this flag it is then possible to prepare
SGI-compatible images on a little-endian system.

have been there since weakrefs were introduced.

Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The
new queue is a series of singly-linked fixed length lists.
The new implementation runs much faster, supports multi-way tees, and
allows tees of tees without additional memory costs.
The root ideas for this structure were contributed by Andrew Koenig
and Guido van Rossum.

* tee object is no longer subclassable
* independent iterators renamed to "itertools.tee_iterator"
* fixed doc string typo and added entry in the module doc string
* Add error checking code to PyList_Append() call.
* Replace PyObject_CallMethod(to->outbasket, "pop", NULL) with equivalent
in-line code. Inlining is important here because the search for the
pop method will occur for every element returned by the iterator.
* Make tee's dealloc() a little smarter. If the trailing iterator is
being deallocated, then the queue data is no longer needed and can
be freed.
It works like the pure python verion except:
* it stops storing data after of the iterators gets deallocated
* the data queue is implemented with two stacks instead of one dictionary.

Adds support for building and installing bsddb3 in python2.3 that has

The embed2.diff patch solves the user's problem by exporting the missing

New Plan (releases to be made off the head, ongoing random 2.4 stuff
to be done on a short-lived branch, provided anyone is motivated enough
to create one).
I don't think the fix here is very good, but I'm not sure what would
be better. In particular, we should not be defining _SGIAPI, but lots
of things break if we remove it.
* Extended DB & DBEnv set_get_returns_none functionality to take a
"level" instead of a boolean flag. The boolean 0 and 1 values still
have the same effect. A value of 2 extends the "return None instead
of raising an exception" behaviour to the DBCursor set methods.
This will become the default behaviour in pybsddb 4.2.
* Fixed a typo in DBCursor.join_item method that made it crash instead
of returning a value. Obviously nobody uses it. Wrote a test case
for join and join_item.

Added a new exception, socket.timeout so that timeouts can be differentiated
from other socket exceptions.
Docs, more tests, and newsitem to follow.
If the callback raised an exception but did not set curexc_traceback,
the trace function was called with PyTrace_RETURN. That is, the trace
function was called with an exception set. The main loop detected the
exception when the trace function returned; it complained and disabled
tracing.
Fix the logic error so that PyTrace_RETURN only occurs if the callback
returned normally.
The trace function must be called for exceptions, too. So we had
to add new functionality to call with PyTrace_EXCEPTION. (Leads to a
rather ugly ifdef / else block that contains only a '}'.)
Reverse the logic and name of NOFIX_TRACE to FIX_TRACE.
Joint work with Fred.
The interning of short strings violates the refcnt==1 assumption for
_PyString_Resize().
A simple fix is to boost the initial value of "totalnew" by 1.
Combined with an NULL argument to PyString_FromStringAndSize(),
this assures that resulting format string is not interned.
This will remain true even if the implementation of
PyString_FromStringAndSize() changes because only the uninitialized
strings that can be interned are those of zero length.
Added a test case.

SF bug [ 751276 ] cPickle doesn't raise error, pickle does (recursiondepth)
Most of the calls to PyErr_Clear() were intended to catch & clear an
attribute error and try something different. Guard all those cases
with a PyErr_ExceptionMatches() and fail if some other error
occurred. The other error is likely a bug in the user code.
This is basically the C equivalent of changing "except:" to

stack usage on FreeBSD, requiring the recursion limit to be lowered
further. Building with gcc 2.95 (the standard compiler on FreeBSD 4.x)
is now also affected.
The underlying issue is that FreeBSD's pthreads implementation has a
hard-coded 1MB stack size for the initial (or "primary") thread, which
can not be changed without rebuilding libc_r. Exhausting this stack
results in a bus error.
Building without pthreads (configure --without-threads), or linking
with the port of the Linux pthreads library (aka Linuxthreads) instead
of libc_r, avoids this limitation.
On OS/2, only gcc 3.2 is affected and the stack size is controllable,
so the special handling has been removed.

inherit_slots(): Don't inherit tp_free unless the type and its base
agree about whether they're gc'able. If the type is gc'able and the
base is not, and the base uses the default PyObject_Del for its

cPickle.c: The Pickler and Unpickler types claim to be base classes

Repaired that. Also call PyType_Ready() on these typeobjects, so
that the correct (PyObject_GC_Del) default memory-freeing function
gets plugged into these types' tp_free slots.
one good use: a subclass adding a method to express the duration as
a number of hours (or minutes, or whatever else you want to add). The
native breakdown into days+seconds+us is often clumsy. Incidentally
moved a large chunk of object-initialization code closer to the top of
the file, to avoid worse forward-reference trickery.
