added not finding Lib/test in the path indicated something was wrong,
but when running regtest using "python -m" Lib/test isn't typically in
the path, so this message is now more disturbing than it is helpful.
to stderr during the test run and it happened to get emitted after the
worker thread emitted the result JSON. Now we capture stdout and stderr
separately, which avoids that problem. It also means that _all_ stderr
output is after all stdout output when we print the test results, but
that seems acceptable, since output ordering is not guaranteed anyway.
The patch also moves the emit of the test name into the output block
generated after the test completes. Otherwise test names and test
output/errors were mixed in the terminal display, making it difficult
to determine which test generated the output.
code, adds checks for stdin/out/err, cwd, and sys.path, and adds a new
section in the summary for tests that modify the environment (thanks to
Ezio Melotti for that suggestion).
- Add tests for the module-level load() and dump() functions.
- Add tests for cPickle's internal data structures, stressing workloads
with many gets/puts.
- Add tests for the Pickler and Unpickler classes, in particular the
memo attribute.
- test_xpickle is extended to test backwards compatibility with Python
2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 by round-tripping pickled objects through a worker
process. This is guarded with a regrtest -u xpickle resource.
This adds a --randseed option, and makes regrtest.py -r indicate what random seed it's using so that that value can later be fed back to --randseed. This option is useful for tracking down test order-related issues found by make buildbottest, for example.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid
spurious warnings and ease later merging to py3k branch. Public
documentation remains intact.
When cls is an ABCMeta, every call to isinstance(x, cls)
records type(x) in the cls._abc_cache of cls_abc_negative_cache.
So we clear these caches at the end of the test.
inspect.isabstract() is not the correct test for all ABCs, because there is no @abstractmethod in io.py (why?)
isinstance(cls, ABCMeta) would be more exact, but it fails with an infinite recursion.
So I used a hack to determine whether a class is an ABCMeta.
The true correction would be to turn cls._abc_cache &co into a WeakSet, as py3k does.
But classic classes are not weak referenceable...
Of course, this change should not be merged into the py3k branch.
The patch adds wrappers for the Linux epoll syscalls and the BSD kqueue syscalls. Thanks to Thomas Herve and the Twisted people for their support and help.
TODO: Finish documentation documentation
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache
