a representation of the configuration state in .ini format that can be read
back in by a future read() call. Thus this class is now a back end
for .ini editors as well as parsers.
This patch is complete and tested, but exposes a bug in the ConfigParser
implementation which I have not yet fixed. Because case information is
discarded during parsing, the output of write() has its case smashed.
I wrote this for a SourceForge interface script called forgetool.
Documentation for the new entry points included.
There is a silly bug in the fall-back dumbdbm.py database package in
the Python 1.5.2 standard distro. This bug causes any changes to an
existing item to generate a new key, even when the key already
exists. After many updates, the .dir file used by dumbdbm grows to
a huge size, and can cause filesystem problems.
an attribute value was not escaped, you could get two syntax errors:
one about a missing semicolon and one about an unknown entity. Now
you get only one about a bogus ampersand.
windows.
- added optional mode argument to popen2/popen3
for unix; if the second argument is an integer,
it's assumed to be the buffer size.
- changed nt.popen2/popen3/popen4 return values
to match the popen2 module (stdout first, not
stdin).
function is overridden by a python version which accepts
*either* a string (old behaviour) or a locale tuple.
- renamed a few methods (for consistency):
get_locale => getlocale
get_default_locale => getdefaultlocale
set_to_default => resetlocale (!)
- the _locale implementation module can now implement
an optional _getdefaultlocale function. if that function
isn't available, a POSIX-based approach is used (checking
LANG and other environment variables, as usual).
(patch #100765)
- reorganized some code to get rid of -Wall and -W4
warnings
- fixed default argument handling for sub/subn/split
methods (reported by Peter Schneider-Kamp).
- Actually count the linefeeds in a the CDATA content.
- Don't call the endtag handler for an unmatched endtag (this makes
the base class simpler since it doesn't have to deal with unopened
endtags).
- If the __init__ method is called with keyword argument
translate_attribute_references=0, don't attempt to translate
character and entity references in attribute values.
the pattern must have a fixed width.
- got rid of array-module dependencies; the match pro-
gram is now stored inside the pattern object, rather
than in an extra string buffer.
- cleaned up a various of potential leaks, api abuses,
and other minors in the engine module.
- use mal's new isalnum macro, rather than my own work-
around.
- untabified test_sre.py. seems like I removed a couple
of trailing spaces in the process...
openpty(): Fallback code when os.openpty() does not exist attempted to
call _slave_open(), which should have been slave_open().
This bug only showed on platforms which do not provide a working openpty()
in the C library.
This patch implements relative-path semantics for the "source" facility resembling
those of cpp(1), documents the change, and improves the shlex test main to
make it easier to test this feature. Along the way, it fixes a name error
in the existing docs.
[Additional documentation markup changes for consistency by FLD.]
This patch delegates more string functions to string object methods,
uses the varargs delegation syntax, and stops using stringold.
Closes SourceForge patch #100712.
"lastgroup" is the name of the last matched capturing group,
"lastindex" is the index of the same group. if no group was
matched, both attributes are set to None.
the (?P#) feature will be removed in the next relase.

- changed max repeat value in engine (to match earlier array fix)
- added experimental "which part matched?" mechanism to sre; see

or python-dev for details.
speedup for some tests, including the python tokenizer.
-- added support for an optional charset anchor to the engine
(currently unused by the code generator).
-- removed workaround for array module bug.
