about illegal code points. The codec now supports PEP 293 style error handlers.
(This is a variant of the Nik Haldimann's patch that detects truncated data)
VC++6 doesn't accept them.
This *will* result in tons of the following warning from gcc 3.x:
(gcc "2.96ish" doesn't issue this warning)
warning: integer constant is too large for "long" type
the code compiles fine regardless. squashing the gcc warnings
is the next task.
Would someone on windows please confirm that this does or does not
compile and if it does or does not pass the test_hashlib.py unit
tests.
A new hashlib module to replace the md5 and sha modules. It adds
support for additional secure hashes such as SHA-256 and SHA-512. The
hashlib module uses OpenSSL for fast platform optimized
implementations of algorithms when available. The old md5 and sha
modules still exist as wrappers around hashlib to preserve backwards
compatibility.
[ 1232517 ] OverflowError in time.utime() causes strange traceback
A needed error check was missing.
(Actually, this error check may only have become necessary in fairly
recent Python, not sure).
Backport candidate.
* the has_key() method was not raising a DBError when a database error
had occurred. [SF patch id 1212590]
* added a wrapper for the DBEnv.set_lg_regionmax method [SF patch id 1212590]
* DBKeyEmptyError now derives from KeyError just like DBNotFoundError.
* internally everywhere DB_NOTFOUND was checked for has been updated
to also check for DB_KEYEMPTY. This fixes the semantics of a couple
operations on recno and queue databases to be more intuitive and results
in less unexpected DBKeyEmptyError exceptions being raised.
because (essentially) I didn't realise that PY_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS
actually expanded to nothing under a no-threads build, so if you somehow
NULLed out the threadstate (e.g. by calling PyThread_SaveThread) it would
stay NULLed when you return to Python. Argh!
Backport candidate.
[ 1166660 ] The readline module can cause python to segfault
It seems to me that the code I'm rewriting here attempted to call any
user-supplied hook functions using the thread state of the thread that
called the hook-setting function, as opposed to that of the thread
that is currently executing. This doesn't work, in general.
Fix this by using the PyGILState API (It wouldn't be that hard to
define a dummy version of said API when #ifndef WITH_THREAD, would
it?).
Also, check the conversion to integer of the return value of a hook
function for errors (this problem was mentioned in the ipython bug
report linked to in the above bug).
