Andrew M. Kuchling | ecdad8575e | [Bug #1172763] dumbdbm uses eval() on lines, so it chokes if there's an extra \r on the end of a line; fixed by stripping off trailing whitespace. | |
Tim Peters | 7a6c733c3b |
Make close() identical to __del__() for a dumbdbm database. Make
closing idempotent (it used to raise a nuisance exception on the 2nd close attempt). Bugfix candidate? Probably, but arguable. |

Massive changes from SF 589982 (tempfile.py rewrite, by Zack
Weinberg). This changes all uses of deprecated tempfile functions to the recommended ones. |
|
Barry Warsaw | 04f357cffe |
Get rid of relative imports in all unittests. Now anything that
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. :) |
