find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them
into SystemError. The latter is definitely not the right thing to do,
so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to
simply propagate up if they occur.
[1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
objects to save in gc.garbage. This should be the last change needed to
fix SF bug 477059: "__del__ on new classes vs. GC".
Note that this change slightly changes the behavior of the collector.
Before, if a cycle was found that contained instances with __del__
methods then all instance objects in that cycle were saved in
gc.garbage. Now, only objects with __del__ methods are saved in
gc.garbage.
When moving objects with a __del__ attribute to a special list, look
for __del__ on new-style classes with the HEAPTYPE flag set as well.
(HEAPTYPE means the class was created by a class statement.)
to lists of values, giving the contents of all the ADD_INFO records
seen so far. This is initialized agressively when the log file is
opened, so that whoever is looking at the log reader can always see
the initial data loaded into the data stream. ADD_INFO events later
in the log file continue to be reported to the application layer as
before.
Add a new method, addinfo(), to the profiler. This can be used to
insert additional ADD_INFO records into the profiler log.
Fix the tp_flags and tp_name slots on the type objects.
"socket.socket" -- on Windows, "socket.socket" is the wrapper class.
Also added the module name to the SSL type (which is not a new-style
class -- I don't want to mess with it yet).
constructor acts just like socket() before. All three arguments have
a sensible default now; socket() is equivalent to
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM).
One minor issue: the socket() function and the SocketType had
different doc strings; socket.__doc__ gave the signature,
SocketType.__doc__ gave the methods. I've merged these for now, but
maybe the list of methods is no longer necessary since it can easily
be recovered through socket.__dict__.keys(). The problem with keeping
it is that the total doc string is a bit long (34 lines -- it scrolls
of a standard tty screen).
Another general issue with the socket module is that it's a big mess.
There's pages and pages of random platform #ifdefs, and the naming
conventions are totally wrong: it uses Py prefixes and CapWords for
static functions. That's a cleanup for another day... (Also I think
the big starting comment that summarizes the API can go -- it's a
repeat of the docstring.)
error occurs, and doesn't return a count. (This is my second patch
from SF patch #474307, with small change to the docstring for send().)
2.1.2 "bugfix" candidate.
Replace some tortuous code that was trying to be clever but forgot to
DECREF the key and value, by more longwinded but obviously correct
code.
(Inspired by but not copying the fix from SF patch #475033.)
STRICT_SYSV_CURSES when compiling curses module on HP/UX. Generalize
access to _flags on systems where WINDOW is opaque. Fixes bugs
#432497, #422265, and the curses parts of #467145 and #473150.
