* In asctime and ctime, properly remove the newline if the year has more than four digits
* Consistent error message for both functions
* Fix the test comments and add a check for the removed newline
* Replace "bytes" by "bytes object" in struct error messages
* Document the API change in What's new in Python 3.2
* Fix test_wave
* Remove also ugly implicit conversions in test_struct
editline rl_initialize apparently discards any mappings done before it
is called, which makes tab revert to file completion instead of inserting
a tab. So now on OSX we call rl_initialize first if we are using
readline, and then re-read the users .editrc (if any) afterward so they
can still override our defaults.
Patch by Ned Deily, modified by Ronald Oussoren.
Issue #7213: Change the close_fds default on Windows to better match the new
default on POSIX. True when possible (False if stdin/stdout/stderr are
supplied).
Update the documentation to reflect all of the above.
In order to create symlinks on Windows, SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
is an account privilege that is required to be held by the user. Not only
must the privilege be enabled for the account, the activated privileges for
the currently running application must be adjusted to enable the requested
privilege.
Rather than exposing an additional function to be called prior to the user's
first os.symlink call, we handle the AdjustTokenPrivileges Windows API call
internally and only expose os.symlink when the privilege escalation was
successful.
Due to the change of only exposing os.symlink when it's available, we can
go back to the original test skipping methods of checking via `hasattr`.
Amaury noticed that this was originally written in a way that would fail on
names that can't be encoded with the mbcs codec. Restructured the function
to work with wide names first then narrow names second, to fall in line
with the way other functions are written in posixmodule.c.
Additionally, the st_ino attribute of stat structures was not being filled
in. This was left out of the fix to #10027 and was noticed due to
test_tarfile failing when applying the patch for this issue. An earlier
version of the fix to #10027 included st_ino, but that attribute got lost
in the shuffle of a few review/fix cycles. All tests pass.
Note: This patch has no tests because as of now there is no way to create
links. #8879 adds that and the tests will go in there. I've manually observed
that existing links on my system function properly with this.
