loops. Renamed DATA and BINDATA to DATA0 and DATA1. Included
disassemblies, but noted why we can't test them. Added XXX comment to
cPickle about a mysterious comment, where pickle and cPickle diverge
in how they number PUT indices.
Assorted code cleanups; e.g., sizeof(char) is 1 by definition, so there's
no need to do things like multiply by sizeof(char) in hairy malloc
arguments. Fixed an undetected-overflow bug in readline_file().
longobject.c: Fixed a really stupid bug in the new _PyLong_NumBits.
pickle.py: Fixed stupid bug in save_long(): When proto is 2, it
wrote LONG1 or LONG4, but forgot to return then -- it went on to
append the proto 1 LONG opcode too.
Fixed equally stupid cancelling bugs in load_long1() and
load_long4(): they *returned* the unpickled long instead of pushing
it on the stack. The return values were ignored. Tests passed
before only because save_long() pickled the long twice.
Fixed bugs in encode_long().
Noted that decode_long() is quadratic-time despite our hopes,
because long(string, 16) is still quadratic-time in len(string).
It's hex() that's linear-time. I don't know a way to make decode_long()
linear-time in Python, short of maybe transforming the 256's-complement
bytes into marshal's funky internal format, and letting marshal decode
that. It would be more valuable to make long(string, 16) linear time.
pickletester.py: Added a global "protocols" vector so tests can try
all the protocols in a sane way. Changed test_ints() and test_unicode()
to do so. Added a new test_long(), but the tail end of it is disabled
because it "takes forever" under pickle.py (but runs very quickly under
cPickle: cPickle proto 2 for longs is linear-time).
functions. Reworked {time,datetime}_new() to do what their corresponding
setstates used to do in their state-tuple-input paths, but directly,
without constructing an object with throwaway state first. Tightened
the "is this a state tuple input?" paths to check the presumed state
string-length too, and to raise an exception if the optional second state
element isn't a tzinfo instance (IOW, check these paths for type errors
as carefully as the normal paths).
anymore either, so don't. This also allows to get rid of obscure code
making __getnewargs__ identical to __getstate__ (hmm ... hope there
wasn't more to this than I realize!).
(pickling no longer needs them, and immutable objects shouldn't have
visible __setstate__() methods regardless). Rearranged the code to
put the internal setstate functions in the constructor sections.
Repaired the timedelta reduce() method, which was still producing
stuff that required a public timedelta.__setstate__() when unpickling.
longer needs to be public, and shoudn't be public because all datetime
objects are immutable. The Python implementation has changed
accordingly, but still need to change the C implementation.
The 4th item can be None or an iterator yielding list items, which are
used to append() or extend() the object. The 5th item can be None or
an iterator yielding a dict's (key, value) pairs, which are stuffed
into the object using __setitem__.
Also (as a separate, though related, feature) add "batching" for list
and dict items. If you pickled a dict or list with a million items in
the past, it would push a million items onto the stack. It now pushes
only 1000 items at a time on the stack, using repeated APPENDS or
SETITEMS opcodes. (For lists, I hope that using many short extend()
calls doesn't exhibit quadratic behavior.)
__module__ is the string name of the module the function was defined
in, just like __module__ of classes. In some cases, particularly for
C functions, the __module__ may be None.
Change PyCFunction_New() from a function to a macro, but keep an
unused copy of the function around so that we don't change the binary
API.
Change pickle's save_global() to use whichmodule() if __module__ is
None, but add the __module__ logic to whichmodule() since it might be
used outside of pickle.

This is yet another patch to _ssl.c that sets the
underlying BIO to non-blocking if the socket being
wrapped is non-blocking. It also correctly loops when
SSL_connect, SSL_write, or SSL_read indicates that it
needs to read or write more bytes.
This seems to fix bug #673797 which was not fixed by my
previous patch.
error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of
the input and out of bounds positions result in an
IndexError.
Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.
Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position
from the callback is negative *add* it to the size
instead of substracting it.
From SF patch #677429.
needs of pickling longs. Backed off to a definition that's much easier
to understand. The pickler will have to work a little harder, but other
uses are more likely to be correct <0.5 wink>.
_PyLong_Sign(): New teensy function to characterize a long, as to <0, ==0,
or >0.
