The message ID is returned lowercased and there is no way to access

This avoids recompiling files that haven't changed; it adds a -f
option to force recompilation.
- Fixed a bug where a syntax error was reported when a document
started with white space. (White space at the start of a document
is valid if there is no XML declaration.)
- Improved the speed quite a bit for documents that don't make use of
namespaces.
Here is my current version of xmllib.py and the documentation. This
version has some API changes with respect to the version currently in
Python (also the one in 1.5.2a).
This version supports XML namespaces.
File names with "funny" characters get translated wrong by
pathname2url (any variety). E.g. the (Unix) file "/ufs/sjoerd/#tmp"
gets translated into "/ufs/sjoerd/#tmp" which, when interpreted as a
URL is file "/ufs/sjoerd/" with fragment ID "tmp".
Here's an easy fix. (An alternative fix would be to change the
various implementations of pathname2url and url2pathname to include
calls to quote and unquote.
[The main problem is with the normal use of URLs:
url = url2pathname(file)
transmit url
url, tag = splittag(url)
urlopen(url)
]
In addition, this patch fixes some uses of unquote:
- the host part of URLs should be unquoted
- the file path in the FTP URL should be unquoted before it is split
into components.
- because of the latter, I removed all unquoting from ftpwrapper,
and moved it to the caller, but that is not essential
when we create a recursive instance, by setting the class variable
'FieldStorageClass' to the desired class. By default, this is set to
None, in which case we use self.__class__ (as before).
When literal mode is entered it should exit automatically when the
matching close tag of the last unclosed open tag is encountered. This
patch fixes this.
In SimpleHTTPServer.py, the server specified in test() should
be BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer, in case the request handler should
want to reference the two attributes added by
BaseHTTPServer.server_bind:
self.server_name = hostname
self.server_port = port
There was some Bobo CGI code that wanted access to those attributes.
In CGIHTTPServer.py, the list of acceptable formats is -split-
on spaces but -joined- on commas, resulting in double commas
in the joined text. It appears harmless to my browser but
ought to be fixed anyway.
'A, B, C' -> 'A,', 'B,', 'C,' -> 'A,,B,,C'
Because it might be a common mistake to pass a single string, this
situation is treated separately.
Since we were making a copy of the longopts list anyway, we now use
the list() function -- this made it necessary to change all uses of
the local variable (and argument) 'list' to something more meaningful,
i.e., 'opts'.
Also added docstrings (copied from the library manual) and removed the
(now redundant) module comments.
filenames generated are easily predictable, it is possible to trick an
unsuspecting program into overwriting another file by creating a
symbolic link with the predicted name. Fix this by using the
low-level os.open() function with the O_EXCL flag and mode 0700. On
non-Unix platforms, presumably there are no symbolic links so the
problem doesn't exist. The explicit test for Unix (posix, actually)
makes it possible to change the non-Unix logic to work without a
try-except clause.
The mktemp() file is as unsafe as ever.

"""
The FieldStorage constructor calls the read_multi method. The read_multi
method creates new FieldStorage objects, re-invoking the constructor
(on the new objects). The problem is that the 'environ', 'keep_blank_values',
and 'strict_parsing' arguments originally passed to the constructor are not
propigated to the new object constructors. This causes os.environ to be used,
leading to a miss-handling of the parts.
I fixed this by passing these arguments to read_multi and then on to the
constructor. See the context diff below.

InteractiveInterpreter, which handles parsing and interpreter state

blank lines or comments always succeeds immediately, and note the fact
that apart from SyntaxError it can also raise OverflowError.

there's an __getinitargs__() method), if a TypeError occurs, catch and

and without a message number argument: the argument was called 'msg'
but the code expected it to be called 'which'. In line with the other
methods, I've renamed the argument to 'which', and adapted the doc
string not to refer to 'msg'.
pdb.py Uses the Breakpoint class so one can enable/disable breakpoints,
set temporary ones, set ignore counts, and conditions. The last
can be set using the 'b' command
b 243 , i>4 ( b 243,i>4 if you are space adverse)
or with the condition command so conditions can be changed
for a particular breakpoint.
Breakpoints are numbered from 1 on, and if a breakpoint is deleted,
the number is not reused. All the breakpoint handling commands
refer to breakpoints by number. To be consistent, the clear command
does so as well, which is the one change from the original pdb that
is not transparent. Thus only the breakpoint command 'b' uses a
line number or file:line or method. You can also give
b whrandom.random and the method will be searched for along
sys.path. This is implemented with an 'egrep' command and so
is not as portable as it might be. [ see lineinfo() and
lineinfoCmd ]
Breakpoints cannot be set at a line that is blank or a '#' comment
or starts a triply quoted comment. This is because I would like
this behavior in my DDD interface and think it reasonable for
pdb as well. It can be removed readily, however as it is all
incorporated in the routine checkline(). If one attempts to
set a breakpoint at a 'def' line, the breakpoint is automatically
moved to the first executable line after the 'def'. This too is
in checkline().
do_EOF() returns zero so typing an end-of-file character as a command
does nothing. 'quit' does the quitting.
The routine defaultFile() is present so as to preserve the current
pdb behavior and yet allow me to override it in pydb.
There's some code in lineinfo() that is probably mainly useful only
for pydb and if you prefer, much up to the comment "Best first guess"
could be removed.
Keith Davidson provided the code for handling $HOME/.pdbrc and
./.pdbrc, and it has been incorporated. He also provided the
alias handling routine. I modified it a bit so it could live
nicely in precmd(). He and I have been in contact; he has the
new pdb (and pydb) with his code incorporated. He also asked
about the possibility of allowing multiple commands on one
line, such as step;step or s;s or with an alias such as
alias ct tbreak %1 ; continue
and since it was so easy, that's in place as well. It's a simple
'split the line at the first ";"' operation and puts the second
half in the command queue (self.cmdqueue). This has the unfortunate
effect of destroying a line like print "i: "+i+"; j: "+j
but either there's a simple way to deal with this, or my attitude
will remain that pdb is a debugger, not a compiler/parser/etc.
An alias like alias 4s s;;s;
will work because the adjacent and trailing ";" act like a <cr> which
repeats the last command. Of course, either s;s;s;s or s;;; would be
a bit more sensible.
The help commands have been updated.
bdb.py now has a class definition called Breakpoint along with
associated methods. There's no reason why this class has to
be there; if you prefer it elsewhere, 'tis easily done.
(Minor reformatting by GvR; e.g. moved Breakpoint's doc string to
proper point.)
cmd.py has incorporated the changes we discussed a couple of weeks ago
(a command queue, returning line from precmd, and stop from postcmd)
and some changes to help that were occasioned because I wanted to
inherit from pdb which inherits from cmd.py and the help routine
didn't look for commands or the associated help deeply enough.
1. use dict.get instead of try/except KeyError
2. if the url scheme is 'http' then avoid the series of
'if var in [someseq]:'. instead, inline all of the code.
3. find = string.find
1) I added a command queue which is helpful to me (at least so far) and
would also allow syntax like 's;s' (step; step) in conjunction with precmd
2) doc_leader allows the derived class to print a message before the help
output. Defaults to current practise of a blank line
3) nohelp allows one to override the 'No help on' message. I need
'Undefined command: "%s". Try "help".'
4) Pass line to self.precmd to allow one to do some parsing: change first
word to lower case, strip out a leading number, whatever.
5) Pass the result of onecmd and the input line to postcmd. This allows
one to ponder the stop result before it is effective.
6) emptyline() requires a if self.lastcmd: conditional because if the
first command is null (<cr>), you get an infinite recursion with the
code as it stands.

instead of a list, turn it into a list containing that string. This

string for the destination and have it treated as a sequence of

clearly (one of my pet peeves in error messages). Also only suppress
the filename if it is None; display it if it is '', since that would
be a genuine (illegal) filename passed in!
how to exit (in a platform dependent way!). We use os.sep to

DOS (as well as OS/2). I presume that making a call to putenv() with
a lowercase key will actually do the right thing. I know this is so
on Windows/DOS, and I expect it is so OS/2 -- but the old OS/2 code
didn't assume this. (I don't know if the person who provided the OS/2
patch was clueless or just didn't care about DOS and Windows.)
Also ripped out the support for pickling -- as of 1.5, this is no
longer needed to make pickling work.
I did some bugfixes, and fixed a major problem with the esmtp suport (I
think the person who did that part misunderstood RFC1869) Some of the
interface fer esmtp-related things has changed as a result.
I also added some documentation to the SMTP class' docstring.
choice(range(start, stop, step)) but faster. This addresses the
problem that randint() was accidentally defined as taking an inclusive
range (how unpythonic).
The code is longish because Tim Peters insisted that it reject
non-integral arguments while I insisted that it be not much slower
than randint(); the compromise satisfies both but is somewhat
convoluted.
Also changed randint() to be implemented through randrange(). This is
a semantic change because old randint() didn't test its arguments for
validity. (It also makes randrange() win any contest with randint()
:-)
involve a filesystem path. To that end:
- Changed IOError to EnvironmentError and added a hack which checks
for arg of len 3. When constructed with a 3-tuple, the third item
is the filename and this is squirreled away in the `filename'
attribute. However, for in-place unpacking backwards
compatibility, self.args still only gets the first two items. Added
a __str__() which prints the filename if it is given.
- IOError now inherits from EnvironmentError
- New class OSError which also inherits from EnvironmentError and is
used by the posix module.
Fix the implementation of quote_plus(). (It wouldn't treat '+' in the
original data right.)
Add urlencode(dict) which is handy to create the data for sending a
POST request with urlopen().
according to an idea by Harri Pasanen (but with different syntax).
This affects the 'break' and 'clear' commands and their help
functions. Also added a helper method lookupmodule().
Also:
- Try to import readline (important when pdb is used from/as a script).
- Get rid of reference to ancient __privileged__ magic variable.
- Moved all import out of functions to the top.
- When used as a script, check that the script file exists.
not calling self.search(); instead, call self.code.match() directly
and interpret the list of registers it returns directly. This saves
the overhead of instantiating a MatchObject for each hit, basically
inlining search() as well as group(). When a MatchObject is still
needed, one is allocated and reused for the duration of the scan.
In the bbox method of Group (Canvas.py file), you should read
return self.canvas._getints(self._do('bbox'))
instead of
return self._getints(self._do('bbox'))
(2) Made the test script a bit fancier -- you can now use it to run
arbitrary scripts in restricted mode, and it will do the right thing.
(The interactive mode is still pretty lame; should integrate this with
code.interact().)
1. Convert to using re module
2. Added two new exception classes
a. MissingSectionHeaderError which signals an early parsing
exception when options appear in the file before any section
header. Previously a bogus TypeError was thrown deeper down.
b. ParsingError which collates any non-fatal parsing errors.
ConfigParser.read() will raise this after the entire file was
parsed if any errors occurred during parsing (client could just
catch the exception and continue, because the ConfigParser
instance would still be initialized with the valid data).
(small note: Error.__msg => Error._msg)
3. ConfigParser.__read() now uses re which has the following minor
semantic change: underscore is now allowed in section header and
option name. Also, because of the old regexps, theoretically.
Fixed continuation line bug reported by F. Lundh.
4. It seemed that the old ConfigParser automatically added the option
`name' to every section, which contained the name of the section.
This seemed bogus to me so I took it out.
string. Added groupdict() to MatchObject -- return the named groups
as a dict. Added default argument to groups() to specify what to
return for unmatching groups; groupdict() also has this.

In the windows version, recognize ^C and raise KeyboardInterrupt (not

should only be set to application/x-www-form-urlencoded when the
method is POST. E.g. for PUT, an empty default (defaulting to
text/plain later) makes more sense.
- explain seekable
- when seekable==1, test fp.tell() and set it to 0 if that fails
- support overridable method iscomment(line) to weed out comments
- check for unread() method on file object before trying to seek
And one of my own:
- Add a get() method which behaves like a dictionary's get(); this is
actually implemented by giving getheader() an optional second argument
to specify the default, and aliasing get to getheader.
The 1.5.1 tabnanny.py suffers an assert error if fed a script whose last
line is both indented and lacks a newline:
if 1:
print 'oh fudge' # no newline here:
The attached version repairs that.
- Handle <? processing instructions >.
- Allow . and - in entity names.
Also fixed an oversight in the previous fix (in one place, [ \t\r\n]
was used instead of string.whitespace).

I think I found a bug in CGIHTTPServer.py. (Does anyone care? :-)
I was trying to use it as the web server for uploading files.
Python CGI scripts (using the CGI module) that worked for other
servers (e.g., Netscape Enterprise server) hang when run from
CGIHTTPServer. The problem is that the content type parameters,
in particular the boundary parameter, were not passed through to
the CGI scripts, thus making the MIME parsing code choke.
My simple-minded fix is:
