Tim Peters 43898b4f64 SequenceMatcher.get_matching_blocks(): This now guarantees that
adjacent triples in the result list describe non-adjacent matching
blocks.  That's _nice_ to have, and Guido said he wanted it.

Not a bugfix candidate:  Guido or not ;-), this changes visible
endcase semantics (note that some tests had to change), and
nothing about this was documented before.  Since it was working
as designed, and behavior was consistent with the docs, it wasn't
"a bug".

Tim Peters 28eeefe566 Revert revisions:
46640 Patch #1454481:  Make thread stack size runtime tunable.
46647 Markup fix

The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
repairing them.  See python-dev discussion.

Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
problems, like

svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH

followed by merging rev 46647 to the new branch.

Andrew M. Kuchling 29d530b3ef [Bug #1472084] Fix description of do_tag 2006-06-03 18:09:41 +00:00
Tim Peters d609b1a20e pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if
the output required more than one line.  "Small" dicts got
displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order
produced by dict.__repr__).  None of this was documented.
Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs
promise it.

This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core
sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.

Andrew M. Kuchling 622f144175 [Bug #1473048]
SimpleXMLRPCServer and DocXMLRPCServer don't look at
the path of the HTTP request at all; you can POST or
GET from / or /RPC2 or /blahblahblah with the same results.
Security scanners that look for /cgi-bin/phf will therefore report
lots of vulnerabilities.

Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class,
and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list.

Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only
'/' and '/RPC2' legal.  Maybe this will break people's applications
(though I doubt it).  We could just set the default to an empty tuple,
which would exactly match the current behaviour.
2006-05-31 14:08:48 +00:00
Brett Cannon 14a0952a1f Clarify wording on default values for strptime(); defaults are used when better

spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew
usually likes to change himself.

Nick Coghlan e708cf5d0f Fix latex typo 2006-04-25 11:05:56 +00:00
Nick Coghlan a7e820a408 Move the PEP 343 documentation and implementation closer to the
terminology in the alpha 1 documentation.

 - "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition
 - the term "context specifier" goes away entirely
 - contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext

There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1:

  - the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the
    "context expression" in the language reference
  - the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with
    statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare
    'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the
    runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context
    objects that already exist in various application domains (such as
    decimal.Context)
  - contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory
    This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the
    use of that decorator
  - decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext
    Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the
    fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something
    different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable.

A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit:
contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a
generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular
context manager directly.
