PyRun_FileEx(). These are the same as their non-Ex counterparts but
have an extra argument, a flag telling them to close the file when
done.
Then this is used by Py_Main() and execfile() to close the file after
it is parsed but before it is executed.
Adding APIs seems strange given the feature freeze but it's the only
way I see to close the bug report without incompatible changes.
[ Bug #110616 ] source file stays open after parsing is done (PR#209)
Add the EXTENDED_ARG opcode to the virtual machine, allowing 32-bit
arguments to opcodes instead of being forced to stick to the 16-bit
limit. This is especially useful for machine-generated code, which
can be too long for the SET_LINENO parameter to fit into 16 bits.
This closes the implementation portion of SourceForge patch #100893.
by the following.
typedef in a portable way the Python name for the C9X uintptr_t type.
This latter is the most portable way to spell an integral type to
which a void* can be cast to and back again without losing
information. Parallel checkin hacks configure to check if the
platform/compiler supports the C9X name.
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
This was a misleading bug -- the true "bug" was that hash(x) gave an error
return when x is an infinity. Fixed that. Added new Py_IS_INFINITY macro to
pyport.h. Rearranged code to reduce growing duplication in hashing of float and
complex numbers, pushing Trent's earlier stab at that to a logical conclusion.
Fixed exceedingly rare bug where hashing of floats could return -1 even if there
wasn't an error (didn't waste time trying to construct a test case, it was simply
obvious from the code that it *could* happen). Improved complex hash so that
hash(complex(x, y)) doesn't systematically equal hash(complex(y, x)) anymore.
did the same anyway.
I'm not sure what to do with Tools/compiler/compiler/* -- that isn't part of
distutils, is it ? Should it try to be compatible with old bytecode version ?
the Python Unicode implementation.
The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).
Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.
(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
of the CVS tree.)
This doesn't change the copyright status for these files -- just the

(The gethostname() one, for instance, breaks on several systems, because
some define it as (char *, size_t) and some as (char *, int).)
I purposely decided not to include the summary of used #defines like Tim did
in the first section of pyport.h. In my opinion, the number of #defines
likedly to be used by this section would make such an overview unwieldy. I
would suggest documenting the non-obvious ones, though.
handlers "return void", according to ANSI C.
Removed the new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro.
Left RETSIGTYPE in the config stuff, because it's not clear to
me that others aren't relying on it (e.g., extension modules).
good C practice hasn't been available to everything all along.
Added Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST(VALUE, WIDE, NARROW) macro to pyport.h; this
just casts VALUE from type WIDE to type NARROW, but assert-fails if
Py_DEBUG is defined and info is lost due to casting.
Replaced a line in Fredrik's fix to marshal.c to use the new macro.
#if RETSIGTYPE != void
That isn't C, and MSVC properly refuses to compile it.
Introduced new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro in pyport.h
to expand to the correct thing based on RETSIGTYPE. However,
only void is ANSI! Do we still have platforms that return int?
The Unix config mess appears to #define RETSIGTYPE by magic
without being asked to, so I assume it's "a problem" across
Unices still.

test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)

This was a convenient excuse to create the pyport.h file recently
discussed!
Please use new Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT when right-shifting a
signed int and you *need* sign-extension. This is #define'd in
pyport.h, keying off new config symbol SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS.
If you're running on a platform that needs that symbol #define'd,
the std tests never would have worked for you (in particular,
at least test_long would have failed).
The autoconfig stuff got added to Python after my Unix days, so
I don't know how that works. Would someone please look into doing
& testing an auto-config of the SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS
symbol? It needs to be defined if & only if, e.g., (-1) >> 3 is
not -1.

from object.h, as they prevented my editor from magically finding
the definitions of the "coercion", "cmpfunc" and "reprfunc"

errors in some of the hash algorithms. For exmaple, in float_hash and
complex_hash a certain part of the value is not included in the hash
calculation. See Tim's, Guido's, and my discussion of this on
python-dev in May under the title "fix float_hash and complex_hash for
64-bit *nix"
(2) The hash algorithms that use pointers (e.g. func_hash, code_hash)
are universally not correct on Win64 (they assume that sizeof(long) ==
sizeof(void*))
As well, this patch significantly cleans up the hash code. It adds the
two function _Py_HashDouble and _PyHash_VoidPtr that the various
hashing routine are changed to use.
These help maintain the hash function invariant: (a==b) =>
(hash(a)==hash(b))) I have added Lib/test/test_hash.py and
Lib/test/output/test_hash to test this for some cases.
This patch modifies the type structures of objects that
participate in GC. The object's tp_basicsize is increased when
GC is enabled. GC information is prefixed to the object to
maintain binary compatibility. GC objects also define the
tp_flag Py_TPFLAGS_GC.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
Improvements:
- does no longer need any extra memory
- has no relationship to tstate
- works in debug mode
- can easily be modified for free threading (hi Greg:)
Side effects:
Trashcan does change the order of object destruction.
Prevending that would be quite an immense effort, as
my attempts have shown. This version works always
the same, with debug mode or not. The slightly
changed destruction order should therefore be no problem.
Algorithm:
While the old idea of delaying the destruction of some
obejcts at a certain recursion level was kept, we now
no longer aloocate an object to hold these objects.
The delayed objects are instead chained together
via their ob_type field. The type is encoded via
ob_refcnt. When it comes to the destruction of the
chain of waiting objects, the topmost object is popped
off the chain and revived with type and refcount 1,
then it gets a normal Py_DECREF.
I am confident that this solution is near optimum
for minimizing side effects and code bloat.
Changed PyUnicode_Splitlines() maxsplit argument to keepends.
The maxsplit functionality was replaced by the keepends
functionality which allows keeping the line end markers together
with the string.
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent). Checkin messages:
New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().
- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above
Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through
Better testing support for the standard codecs.
Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.
Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
the type still remains the same. These functions are now
ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
still does)
Followed by:
Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).
I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).
