* Group functions into six new subsections
* Document the underlying Readline function or variable accessed
* get_history_length() returns the history file limit
* clear_history() is conditionally compiled in
* Clarify zero and one bases for history item indexes
* parse_and_bind() uses its argument directly as an init line
* Change "command line" to "line buffer" for consistency
* read_init_file() also executes the file
* read_history_file() replaces the previous history
* write_history_file() overwrites any existing file
* Differentiate history file lines from history list items, which could be
multi-line
* Add more information about completion, also addressing Issue #10796
* libedit (Editline) may be used on any platform; detection is OS X specific
On Python 3.3, use aliases:
* PyMem_RawMalloc = PyMem_Malloc
* PyMem_RawFree = PyMem_Free
These aliases are not need in Python 3.5, but this change makes synchronization
of code base simpler.
Issue #26588: Fix _tracemalloc start/stop: don't play with the reentrant flag.
set_reentrant(1) fails with an assertion error if tracemalloc_init() is called
first in a thread A and tracemalloc_start() is called second in a thread B. The
tracemalloc is imported in a thread A. Importing the module calls
tracemalloc_init(). tracemalloc.start() is called in a thread B.
Issue #26563: Replace PyMem_Malloc() with PyMem_RawFree() since
PostToQueueCallback() calls PyMem_RawFree() (previously PyMem_Free()) in a new
C thread which doesn't hold the GIL.
Fixed a crash when unpickle the functools.partial object with wrong state.
Fixed a leak in failed functools.partial constructor.
"args" and "keywords" attributes of functools.partial have now always types
tuple and dict correspondingly.
Issue #26227: On Windows, getnameinfo(), gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname_ex()
functions of the socket module now decode the hostname from the ANSI code page
rather than UTF-8.
Issue #26154: Add a new private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function which
gets the current thread state, but don't call Py_FatalError() if it is NULL.
Python 3.5.1 removed the _PyThreadState_Current symbol from the Python C API to
no more expose complex and private atomic types. Atomic types depends on the
compiler or can even depend on compiler options. The new function
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() allows to get the variable value without having
to care of the exact implementation of atomic types.
Changes:
* Replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable with a call to
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet().
* In pystate.c, replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable
with the PyThreadState_GET() macro for readability.
* Document also PyThreadState_Get() in pystate.h
Previously zipimport mistakenly limited namespace support to only the
top-level of the zipfile when it should have supported an arbitrary
depth.
Thanks to Phil Connel for the bug report and initial patch and Mike
Romberg for the final patch.
While no copyright violation occurred, the license which
'Numerical Recipes' operates under is not amenable to Python,
so to prevent confusion it's easier to simply remove its mention.
