Andrew M. Kuchling 2dd7c8c41e [Bug #1619680] in_dll() arguments are documented in the wrong order 2006-12-20 20:20:42 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling a490d59fbb Some other built-in functions are described with 'sequence' arguments
that should really be 'iterable'; this commit changes them.

Did I miss any?  Did I introduce any errors?

Andrew M. Kuchling eca4c31267 [Apply length-checking.diff from bug #1599254]
Add length checking to single-file mailbox formats: before doing a
flush() on a mailbox, seek to the end and verify its length is
unchanged, raising ExternalClashError if the file's length has
changed.

This fix avoids potential data loss if some other process appends to
the mailbox file after the table of contents has been generated;
instead of overwriting the modified file, you'll get the exception.

I also noticed that the self._lookup() call in self.flush() wasn't
necessary (everything that sets self._pending to True also calls
self.lookup()), and replaced it by an assertion.

2.5 backport candidate.

Andrew M. Kuchling 64df22bdb5 [Bug #1613651] Document socket.recv_into, socket.recvfrom_into
Also, the text for recvfrom told you to read recv() for an explanation of the
'flags' argument, but recv() just pointed you at the man page.  Copied the
man-page text to recvfrom(), recvfrom_into, recv_into to avoid the pointless
redirection.

I don't have LaTeX on this machine; hope my markup is OK.

Andrew M. Kuchling 8fe2d2015d [Patch #1618455 by Ben Maurer] Improve speed of HMAC by using str.translate()
instead of a more general XOR that has to construct a list.

Slightly modified from Maurer's patch: the _strxor() function is no longer
necessary at all.
