Andrew M. Kuchling 555ac45b20 Document PyErr_WarnEx. (Bad Neal! No biscuit!) 
Is the explanation of the 'stacklevel' parameter clear?  Please feel free
to edit it.

I don't have LaTeX installed on this machine, so haven't verified that the
markup is correct.  Will check tonight, or maybe the automatic doc build will
tell me.

Fred Drake 45540b0922 SF bug #1193966: Weakref types documentation misplaced

is moved to the Extending & Embedding manual.  Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS is
no longer mentioned since it is part of Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT.

Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred. 
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.

Fred Drake fbdeaad069 expunge the xmlcore changes: 
41667, 41668 - initial switch to xmlcore
  47044        - mention of xmlcore in What's New
  50687        - mention of xmlcore in the library reference

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props
  41677        - add cElementTree wrapper
  41678        - PSF licensing for etree
  41812        - whitespace normalization
  42724        - fix svn:eol-style settings
  43681, 43682 - remove Python version-compatibility cruft from minidom
  46773        - fix encoding of \r\n\t in attr values in saxutils
  47269        - added XMLParser alias for cElementTree compatibility

additional tests were added in Lib/test/test_sax.py that failed with
the xmlcore changes; these relate to SF bugs #1511497, #1513611

Andrew M. Kuchling e49741d412 [Bug #1528258] Mention that the 'data' argument can be None. 
The constructor docs referred the reader to the add_data() method's docs,
but they weren't very helpful.  I've simply copied an earlier explanation
of 'data' that's more useful.

Phillip J. Eby f7575d0cb7 Bug #1529871: The speed enhancement patch #921466 broke Python's compliance 
with PEP 302.  This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.

Tim Peters 750c4420a8 Live with that "the hardware address" is an ill-defined 
concept, and that different ways of trying to find "the
hardware address" may return different results.  Certainly
true on both of my Windows boxes, and in different ways
(see whining on python-dev).

Barry Warsaw 00decd7835 Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py, 
inspect.py, and pydoc.py.  Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.

This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType.  Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor().  The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.

The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.

I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:

1. Silence is assent.  The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
   people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".

2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
   forcing function. :)

Windows build patches will follow.

Barry Warsaw b110bad2d9 More RFC 2231 improvements for the email 4.0 package. As Mark Sapiro rightly 
points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this
RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded
parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the
same way and that isn't correct.

This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are
%-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are
any encoded params in the segments.  If there are no encoded params then the
RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts.

Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in
some cases.  For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param
continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method
(with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string.  I don't
believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the
documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is
possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate
between the two.  (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/
without breaking code.)

Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.

Brett Cannon caebe22038 Fix bug #1520914. Starting in 2.4, time.strftime() began to check the bounds 
of values in the time tuple passed in.  Unfortunately people came to rely on
undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was
within the valid range.  Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.

Andrew M. Kuchling 48a49f0c3b Fit Makefile for the Python doc environment better; this is a step toward 
including the howtos in the build process.

	* Put LaTeX output in ../paper-<whatever>/.
	* Put HTML output in ../html/
	* Explain some of the Makefile variables
	* Remove some cruft dating to my environment (e.g. the 'web' target)

This makefile isn't currently invoked by the documentation build process,
so these changes won't destabilize anything.

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".

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.

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 07cf0722b3 Mention SimpleXMLRPCServer change 2006-05-31 14:12:47 +00:00
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.

Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules
(both inherited from PyString_FromFormatV), it would be good if someone
with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other.
Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a
mass copy+paste to repair that.
