the "Download as text" link. Previously, it could map multiple source files
to a single name since all files end up with the same extension.
This closes SF bug #558279.
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).
- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).
- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).
- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
errors. This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
next. It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
retrying a connect does; I need help with this.
- Get rid of the retry logic in accept(). I don't think it was needed
at all. But I may be wrong.
[ 400998 ] experimental support for extended slicing on lists
somewhat spruced up and better tested than it was when I wrote it.
Includes docs & tests. The whatsnew section needs expanding, and arrays
should support extended slices -- later.
the semantics and presentation used in the library reference.
Added an explanation of the use of [...] to denote optional arguments, since
this is the only use of this in a signature line.
Closes SF bug #567127.
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.
I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this. Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.
No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)
BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.
The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.

Rewrote the subsection on coercion rules (and made it a proper
subsection, with a label). The new section is much less precise,
because precise rules would be too hard to give (== I don't know what
they are any more :-). OTOH, the new section gives much more
up-to-date information.
Also noted that __coerce__ may return NotImplemented, with the same
meaning as None.
I beg Fred forgiveness: my use of \code{} is probably naive. Please
fix this and other markup nits. An index entry would be nice.
This could be a 2.2 bugfix candidate, if we bother about old docs
(Fred?)
If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode. Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).
I'll apply this to 2.2 and 2.1 too.
[ 559250 ] more POSIX signal stuff
Adds support (and docs and tests and autoconfery) for posix signal
mask handling -- sigpending, sigprocmask and sigsuspend.
This patch adds Milan Zamazal's conversion script and
modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files
from the LaTeX sources. Currently, the mac, doc and
inst TeX files are not handled.
Explicitly checks for GNU Emacs 21.
to do the inplace-edit with a backup file. A quick test leads me to
believe this is sufficient to allow building the documentation on Cygwin;
a full test is in progress.
(reported by François Pinard).
Added some missing "_" characters in the same cluster of productions.
Added missing floor division operator in m_expr production, and mention
floor division in the relevant portion of the text.
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise. The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements. In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.
While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental. Please give it a try!
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
Py_DECREF(s);
s = NULL;
goto outtahere;
}
The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already
NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
goto outtahere;
Bugfix candidate.

can now pass 'None' as the filename for the bsddb.*open functions,
and you'll get an in-memory temporary store.
docs are ripped out of the bsddb dbopen man page. Fred may want to
clean them up.
Considering this for 2.2, but not 2.1.

to call str.strip with a unicode argument

pretty much destroyed for now; if you need it pretty-printed, just make
the Help Compiler save the files (it's got its own idea of pretty-
printing anyway).
Glitch: The title of Ref Man "2.1.6 Blank lines" shows up as a blank
for now. This is because the relevant entry in ref/index.html contains
nested anchors, and pychm really has no idea what to do with that. I
hacked it for now to avoid any error messages or worse insanity, and
filed a bug report against the docs.
methods to squash code duplication. Simplified several overly complex
chunks of logic. Built output strings more with string interpolation
instead of infix '+'. Added comments. Exploited recent Python features
(chiefly bool and augmented assignment).

This turned up one case where the wrong little integer was being used,
in informative progress output. Fixed that too.
+ Increased size of the window the user sees the first time.
+ Arranged for the display to remember its last size and position.
+ Added a Favorites (bookmarks) tab.
+ Added the "Advanced Search" decorations.
