- throw out many mentions of "old-style/new-style"
- add memoryview() though I somebody has to fill in the details
- throw out str.decode()
- throw out classobj and instanceobj
1/ getargs.diff adds the 'Z' and 'Z#' format specifiers for
PyArg_ParseTuple. They mimic z and z# for unicode strings, by accepting
a Unicode or None (in which case the Py_UNICODE* pointer is set to
NULL). With doc and tests.
2/ subprocess.diff converts file PC/_subprocess.c to unicode. We use the
Unicode version of the win32 api (and Z conversion from previous patch)
3/ stdout.diff: sys.stdout must not convert the line endings, Windows
already does it.
Without this patch, when redirecting the output of python, the file
contains \r\r\n for each line. (test_subprocess did catch this)
However, I (GvR) removed the change to _fileio.c (included in the
patches) that prevents closing file descripors < 3 from being closed;
I think that needs to be solved in a different way.
ut-32-be). On narrow builds the codecs combine surrogate pairs in the unicode
object into one codepoint on encoding and create surrogate pairs for
codepoints outside the BMP on decoding. Lone surrogates are passed through
unchanged in all cases.
Backport to the trunk will follow.
