Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.
This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)
Add optional arg to string methods strip(), lstrip(), rstrip().
The optional arg specifies characters to delete.
Also for UserString.
Still to do:
- Misc/NEWS
- LaTeX docs (I did the docstrings though)
- Unicode methods, and Unicode support in the string methods.
The test function's signature should be
test(methodname, input, output, *args)
but the output argument was omitted. This caused all tests to fail,
because the expected output was passed as the initial argument to the
method call. But because of the way the test works (it compares the
results for a regular string to the results for a UserString instance
with the same value, and it's OK if both raise the same exception) the
test never failed!
I've fixed this, and also cleaned up a few warts in the verbose
output. Finally, I've made it possible to run the test stand-alone in
verbose mode by passing -v as a command line argument.
Now, the test will report failure related to zfill. That's not my
fault, that's a legitimate problem: the string_tests.py file contains
a test for the zfill() method (just added) but this method is not
implemented. The responsible party will surely fix this soon now.
non-us-ascii character sets in headers and bodies. Some API changes
(with DeprecationWarnings for the old APIs). Better RFC-compliant
implementations of base64 and quoted-printable.
Updated test cases. Documentation updates to follow (after I finish
writing them ;).
Change pickling format for bools to use a backwards compatible
encoding. This means you can pickle True or False on Python 2.3
and Python 2.2 or before will read it back as 1 or 0. The code
used for pickling bools before would create pickles that could
not be read in previous Python versions.
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python
226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang
Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)
This fixes the symptom, but PRINT_ITEM has no way to know what (if
anything) PyFile_WriteObject() writes unless the object being printed
is a string. When the object isn't a string, this fix retains the
guess that softspace should be set after PyFile_WriteObject().
We might want to say that it's the job of filelike-object write methods
to leave the file's softspace in the correct state. That would probably
be better -- but everyone relies on PRINT_ITEM to guess for them now.
One more time on this turkey, but duller instead of cleverer.
Curious: The docs say __getslice__ has been deprecated since 2.0, but
list.__getitem__ still doesn't work if you pass it a slice. This makes
it a lot clearer to emulate a list by *being* a list <wink>.
Bugfix candidate. Michael, just pile this patch on top of the others
that went by -- no need to try to pick these apart.
The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps
later.
I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.
I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.
As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__. This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.
Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.
Beef up the file.truncate() docs.
Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone. Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.
libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.
test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.
CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The
truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.
Adapter from SF patch 528038; fixes SF bug 527816.
The wrapper for __nonzero__ should be wrap_inquiry rather than
wrap_unaryfunc, since the slot returns an int, not a PyObject *.
mmap_find_method(): this obtained the string to find via s#, but it
ignored its length, acting as if it were \0-terminated instead.
Someone please run on Linux too (the extended test_mmap works on Windows).
Bugfix candidate.
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on. Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.
This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.
- Use substring search, not re search for user-agent and paths.
- Consider * entry last. Unquote, then requote URLs.
- Treat empty Disallow as "allow everything".
Add test cases. Fixes#523041
There were never tests for the fact that list() always returns a *new*
list object, even when the argument is a list, while tuple() may
return a reference to the argument when it is a tuple. Now there are.
Fix exit races in test_thread.py and test_threaded_import.py.
I suspect the bug is provokable only under Linux (where child threads
seem to get lots of cycles before they get killed after the main thread
exits), or on multi-processor machines running other OSes.
Bugfix candidate.
Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.
