Remove automatic handling of datetime.date and datetime.time.
This breaks backward compatibility, but python-dev discussion was strongly
against this automatic conversion; see the bug for a link.
global to determine when the server is ready to be used. This slows the test
down, but should make it correct. There was a race condition before where the
server could have assigned a port, yet it wasn't ready to serve requests. If
the client sent a request before the server was completely ready, it would get
an exception. There was machinery to try to handle this condition. All of
that should be unnecessary and removed if this change works. A NOTE was
added as a comment about what needs to be fixed.
The buildbots will tell us if there are more errors or
if this test is now stable.
exceptions raised in the test server thread, since SimpleXMLRPCServer
does not gracefully handle them. Changed number of requests handled
by tests server thread to one (was 2) because no tests require more
than one request. [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]
that allows sending back exception/stack trace information about
internal server errors (this flag defaults to False to avoid sending
such information unless explicitly enabled). Added tests to verify
behavior of this new feature (these tests are skipped on win32 because
of problems with WSAEWOULDBLOCK). Renamed HTTPTestCase to
SimpleServerTestCase. [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]
against a SimpleXMLRPCServer in a separate thread. Because of
problems with WSAEWOULDBLOCK (error 10035) being raised by the server
on Windows, these new tests are skipped on win32. [GSoC - Alan McIntyre]
test_site often failed under "regrtest.py -r", because this xmlrpc test
left sys with a setdefaultencoding attribute, but loading site.py removes
that attribute and test_site.py verifies the attribute is gone. Changed
this test to get rid of sys.setdefaultencoding if it didn't exist when
this test started.
Don't know whether this is a bugfix (backport) candidate.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
