* Detect source file encoding.
* Use the "replace" error handler even for UTF-8 (default) encoding.
* Remove the BOM.
* Fix detection of too long lines if they contain NUL.
* Return the head rather than the tail for truncated long lines.
* Move get_signal_name() from test.libregrtest to test.support.
* Use get_signal_name() in support.script_helper.
* support.script_helper now decodes stdout and stderr from UTF-8,
instead of ASCII, if a command failed.
Regression test that vfork is used when expected by subprocess.
This is written integration test style, it uses strace if it is present and appears to work to find out what system call actually gets used in different scenarios.
Test coverage is added for the default behavior and that of each of the specific arguments that must disable the use of vfork. obviously not an entire test matrix, but it covers the most important aspects.
If there are ever issues with this test being flaky or failing on new platforms, rather than try and adapt it for all possible platforms, feel free to narrow the range it gets tested on when appropriate. That is not likely to reduce coverage.
* Add run_test_script() function to test.support.script_helper.
* Rename Lib/test/eintrdata/eintr_tester.py to
Lib/test/_test_eintr.py.
* test_eintr.py uses run_test_script().
Historically, -m added the empty string as sys.path
zero, meaning it resolved imports against the current
working directory, the same way -c and the interactive
prompt do.
This changes the sys.path initialisation to add the
*starting* working directory as sys.path[0] instead,
such that changes to the working directory while the
program is running will have no effect on imports
when using the -m switch.
- new PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE config setting
- coerces legacy C locale to C.UTF-8, C.utf8 or UTF-8 by default
- always uses C.UTF-8 on Android
- uses `surrogateescape` on stdin and stdout in the coercion
target locales
- configure option to disable locale coercion at build time
- configure option to disable C locale warning at build time
Windows requires at least the SYSTEMROOT environment variable to start Python.
If run_python_until_end() doesn't copy SYSTEMROOT, the function always fail on
Windows.
If Popen.communicate() raises an exception, kill the child process to not leave
a running child process in background and maybe create a zombi process.
This change fixes a ResourceWarning in Python 3.6 when unit tests are
interrupted by CTRL+c.
parameter to "enable" the always on sys.flags.hash_randomization
in _args_from_interpreter_flags() used by multiprocessing and
some unittests. This simplifies the code.
* assert_python_ok docstring typo fix.
* Fix test_cmd_line not to fail if PYTHONHASHSEED is set to a fixed seed.
