Fred Drake f9d580346b Add change notes where im_class is discussed, since the exact meaning changes
with Python 2.2.
2001-12-07 23:13:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b62f0e1a7b Correct the description of im_class. (Fred, this is changed in 2.2.
Should this be labeled as changed?  How?)
2001-12-07 22:03:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 7961930595 Revise description of dumbdbm.open() to reflect that the flag argument is
ignored and that mode was ignored before Python 2.2.
This closes SF bug #490098.
2001-12-07 21:56:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 2c8373bc23 Honor the mode argument to dumbdbm.open(); there is not good reason not to,
especially since the documentation described it in detail.
This partially closes SF bug #490098.
2001-12-07 21:54:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 301d0f89bb PyMethodObject(): Update the comment about im_class based upon a
conversation with Robin Dunn in SF patch #490402.

Fred Drake 8b7bb7a0f2 Describe the behavior of the read() method when the list of filenames
includes files that do not exist, explain the intended use of the interface,
and show how to ensure an expected file really exists.
This closes SF bug #490399.

Tim Peters cbfc0343fc SF patch 490393: test___all__ and Jython; from Finn Bock.
Don't even try to import _socket when running under Jython.
2001-12-07 21:35:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 78f0dd3397 I found that when run as a script, this test suite ran its tests
twice!  Fixed this by avoiding the import of test_email, which loads
the module a second time in that situation, and fiddled the __main__
section to resemble other test suites using unittest.

Tim Peters 25059d30c3 SF patch #489173: Make os.spawnv not block the interpreter, from
Anthony Roach.
Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls.
Bugfix candidate?  Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix".
These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no
other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system().  But it's
possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn
function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their
threads until the spawned program completes.  I think it's very unlikely
anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.
2001-12-07 20:35:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2f09812efa O_cwrite(): rewrote for clarity, replacing all the (Oobject *)self
casts with a variable oself that has the proper type.  A smart
compiler may put this thing into a register.

(I'm not sure what good this does except satisfy my desire to
understand this function; I got a report about an uninitialized read
from Insure++ about this function and it hurt my eyes to even look at
it.  I gotta run away or I'll get tempted to reformat the entire
file...)
2001-12-07 20:20:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f70590f990 _PyTuple_Resize(): this dumped core on tuple(globals()) for me. Turns
out the for loop at the end intended to zero out new items wasn't
doing anything, because sv->ob_size was already equal to newsize.  The
fix slightly refactors the function, introducing a variable oldsize
and doing away with sizediff (which was used only once), and using
oldsize and newsize consistently.  I also added comments explaining
what the two for loops do.  (Looking at the CVS annotation of this
function, it's no miracle a bug crept in -- this has been patched by
many different folks! :-)

detector.

Jack Jansen 2a42c3a8d3 Not being able to copy PythonCore to the system-folder is not a fatal error, on OSX the user may not have permission to do so. Also give a more informative message in this case.

Jeremy Hylton 0702858d73 Missing DECREFs when exception is raised in sys.excepthook.
Bug fix candidate for 2.1 branch.

(I imagine the other recent leak patches are bug fix candidates, too,
but I forgot to mark mine as such.)

Guido van Rossum 4e173846c8 Fix for #489672 (Neil Norwitz): memory leak in test_sre.
(At least for the repeatable test case that Tim produced.)

pattern_subx(): Add missing DECREF(filter) in both exit branches
(normal and error return).  Also fix a DECREF(args) that should
certainly be a DECREF(match) -- because it's inside if (!args) and
right after allocation of match.

Guido van Rossum 202dd1ef42 In unconditional except clauses, don't catch KeyboardInterrupt -- it's
annoying that often you have to hit ^C numerous times before it
works.  The solution: before the "except:" clause, insert "except
KeyboardInterrupt: raise".  This propagates KeyboardInterrupt out,
stopping the test in its tracks.

Tim Peters eb4b7bad33 audioop_ratecv() again: settle for a sloppier upper bound that's less

Tim Peters c7cb69263d For ratecv, document that None should be the initial state argument (when
I was squashing spurious overflows in the implementation, I got hung up
on this point).

Fred Drake 9028d0a525 Visious hackery to solve a build-control problem related to our use of
distutils for the library modules built as shared objects.  A better solution
appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").
This closes SF bug #458343.

Jack Jansen e3d7622fb3 Don't fail on importing things with undefined references. Unfortunately we
still fail on importing modules that link with libraries that fail
their initialization code (such as windowing libraries when we don't have
access to the window server) and that is what I really wanted to fix.

Guido van Rossum 35974fbf31 Fix for SF bug #489671 (Neil Norwitz): memory leak in test_richcmp.
Had nothing to do with rich comparisons -- some stack cleanup code was
lost as a result of merging in Neil Schemenauer's generators patch.
Reinserted the stack cleanup code, skipping it when yielding.

Thomas Heller bcd8975740 Use a version number of 0.0.0 instead of ???. The latter leads to
invalid filenames on Windows when building without specifying a
version number in the setup script.

Fred Drake 32a3587345 Document that PyString_FromString() cannot take NULL as a parameter.

2001-12-06 20:38:15 +00:00
Tim Peters 62de65b25e PyString_FromString: this requires its argument be non-NULL, but doesn't
check it.  Added an assert() to that effect.

Guido van Rossum 604ddf80d8 Fix for #489669 (Neil Norwitz): memory leak in test_descr (unicode).
This is best reproduced by

  while 1:
      class U(unicode):
          pass
      U(u"xxxxxx")

The unicode_dealloc() code wasn't properly freeing the str and defenc
fields of the Unicode object when freeing a subtype instance.  Fixed
this by a subtle refactoring that actually reduces the amount of code
slightly.

properly set.  This fixes that.

Fred Drake 6b04ffe9e5 Be more careful about accessing attributes of the parent: if Tk has not been
initialized, this will be None, but the functions will still work (there will
simply be a bogus parent on the screen).  Allowing the parent to be None
is useful when testing the functions from an interactive interpreter.

Add an optional keyword paramter "show" to the _QueryString class; when given
it is used to set the -show option to the entry widget.  This allows passing
show="*" or the like to askstring(), making it useful for requesting
passwords/passphrases from the user.
This closes SF bug #438517.

Changed a docstring to be less font-lock-hostile.

Jeremy Hylton 1a48ca8c53 Fix memory leak in dict_to_map(), SF bug [ #485152 ] memory leak in test_scope.
PyCell_Set() incremenets the reference count, so the earlier XINCREF
causes a leak.

Also make a number of small performance improvements to the code on
the assumption that most of the time variables are not rebound across
a FastToLocals() / LocalsToFast() pair.

Replace uses of PyCell_Set() and PyCell_Get() with PyCell_SET() and
PyCell_GET(), since the frame is guaranteed to contain cells.
2001-12-06 15:48:16 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 7802a53e38 Little stuff.
Add a missing DECREF in an obscure corner.  If the str() or repr() of
an object passed to a string interpolation -- e.g. "%s" % obj --
returns a non-string, the returned object was leaked.

Repair an indentation glitch.

Replace a bunch of PyString_AsString() calls (and their ilk) with
macros.
