Constants from stat module were imported using "import *";
	don't access them via stat.ST_*!

	Reported by that other vR.  ;-)

Fred Drake 06c5a8b52e Make the default target xml instead of sgml. 1999-07-22 13:57:12 +00:00
Fred Drake 7dbde51f97 Make the default target xml instead of sgml.
Use a temporary file to pass results from latex2esis.py to
docfixer.py; this makes for better error detection by make (if the
first pipeline stage fails, make wasn't catching it).

Guido van Rossum ba508a21e0 Add test case for bug just fixed by Stephen Turner. 1999-07-13 15:23:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2f80d96c04 Patch by Stephen Turner, who writes:
"""
It fixes a memory corruption error resulting from BadPickleGet
exceptions in load_get, load_binget and load_long_binget.  This was
initially reported on c.l.py as a problem with Cookie.py; see the thread
titled "python core dump (SIGBUS) on Solaris" for more details.

If PyDict_GetItem(self->memo, py_key) call failed, then py_key was being
Py_DECREF'd out of existence before call was made to
PyErr_SetObject(BadPickleGet, py_key).

The bug can be duplicated as follows:

import cPickle
cPickle.loads('garyp')

This raises a BadPickleGet exception whose value is a freed object.  A
core dump will soon follow.
"""

Jim Fulton approves of the patch.

Guido van Rossum 0eb55ac912 Mark Favas was quick to note that the last checkin divides by zero
when n == 0...  So divide by a->ob_size instead which was already
tested for 0.

Guido van Rossum 5bc51f2f27 Appropriate overflow checks so that things like sys.maxint*(1,) can't
dump core.

Barry Warsaw 96e9bf45e8 AddrlistClass.getaddress(): when parsing `:'s, in the loop, watch out
for gotonext() pushing self.pos past the end of the string.  This can
happen if the message has a To field like "To: :" and you call
msg.getaddrlist('to').

Guido van Rossum 6ebb387a08 Patch by Jeffrey Chang to add docstrings everywhere.
The text is condensed from the library manual.

Guido van Rossum 7c85ab829d Marc-Andre Lemburg discovered that the switch from .pyc to .pyo files,
done by _PyImport_Init(), comes to late to affect the import of
exceptions.py by _PyBuiltin_Init_2().  Move  _PyImport_Init() up few lines.

Fred Drake 3a4ceb707d Several methods return tuples, not lists. 1999-07-07 14:04:38 +00:00
Fred Drake 363d67c2e6 Move some misc. comments from the example section to the main section.
Use the lowercase versions of the method names in the example, since
that's what's documented (Greg Stein's suggestion).  Add a blank line
after the import line for clarity.

name and digging out the module.

time finding the bindings.

Guido van Rossum 9068da4b6d Milton L. Hankin reports that on Windows it is possible to have two
different values in the environ dict with the same key (although he
couldn't explain exactly how this came to be).  Since getenv() uses
the first one, Python should do too. (Some doubts about case
sensitivity, but for now this at least seems the right thing to do
regardless of platform.)

Guido van Rossum 3427c1f71b Sjoerd Mullender:
In splithost, accept empty host part in URLs.  This is required for
file URLs that can have an empty host part.  For such URLs, we should
not return the initial 2 slashes as part of the file name.

Fred Drake 859dc53a52 Per Frank Stajano's suggestion, state explicitly that the functions
described in the sub-sections are directly available at the module
level.  He found this confusing.
