helper module _ssl.
The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled
for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that
release.
Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* --
unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file.
Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file
chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine
and compiles don't give errors or warnings.
WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various
non-Unix build process files.
where their capabilities intersect. Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).
[ #510644 ] test_curses segfaults
If we use the *object* *allocator*, we should use the *object* *deallocator*,
not the *raw memory* deallocator (confused yet?).
I think this was what caused segfaults when pymalloc was enabled.
Even if it wasn't the cause, it's still wrong.
2.2.1 candidate.
[ #504284 ] Last build problems on AIX
I'm ignoring the suggestion that this should be an autoconf test in the
interests of having a fix today. Feel free to quibble.
new.instancemethod() -- the instancemethod object is now a perfectly
general container.
This fixes SF bug ##503091 (Pedro Rodriquez): new.instancemethod fails
for new classes
This is a 2.2.1 candidate.
Patch from Mark Hammond, plus code rearrangement and comments from me.
posix_do_stat(): Windows-specific code could try to free() stack
memory in some cases when a path ending with a forward or backward slash
was passed to os.stat().
metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose ob_type
is a subclass of PyType_Type, should be pickled the same as new-style
classes (objects whose ob_type is PyType_Type). This can't be done
through the existing dispatch switches, and the __reduce__ trick
doesn't work for these, since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for
instances of the class (inherited from PyBaseObject_Type). So check
explicitly using PyType_IsSubtype().
binascii_b2a_base64(): We didn't allocate enough buffer space for very
short inputs (e.g., a 1-byte input can produce a 5-byte output, but we
only allocated 2 bytes). I expect that malloc overheads absorbed the
overrun in practice, but computing a correct upper bound is a very simple
change.
got a barrage of compile errors that didn't make sense to the C++ brain:
MSVC does not allow C (but does allow C++) initializers to contain
data addresses supplied by other DLLs. So changed the initializers here
to use dummy nulls, and changed module init to plug in the foreign
addresses at runtime (manually simulating what C++ does by magic). Tested
on Windows, and Guido tested on Linux (thanks!). BTW, the *point* is that
people are going to use this module as a template for writing their own
subtypes, and it's unusual for extension authors to build their extensions
into Python directly (separate DLLs are the norm on Windows); so it's
better if we give them a template that works <wink>.
work with Mac OS X Aqua-Tk, all nicely within ifdefs.
The process is not for the faint of heart, though: you need to download
and install the (alfa) Aqua-Tk, obtain a few needed X11 headers from
somewhere else and then everything builds. To run scripts using Tkinter
you must build with --enable-framework, build Python.app in Mac/OSX
and run your Tkinter scripts with that. Then, about half the tests in
Demo/tkinter work (or at least do something).
Checking this in anyway because it shouldn't break anything, and newer
versions of Aqua-Tk will streamline the process.
backed out of broken minimal repeat patch from July
also fixed a couple of minor potential resource leaks in pattern_subx
(Guido had already fixed the big one)
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
The OSS Programmer's Reference (www.4front-tech.com)
states:
*Setting Sampling Parameters
There are three parameters which affect the sound
quality (and therefore memory and bandwidth
requirements) of sampled audio data. These are:
** sample format (sometimes called number of bits)
** number of channels (mono or stereo), and
** sampling rate (speed)
NOTE:
It is important to always set these parameters in the
above order. Setting sampling rate before the number
of channels doesn't work with all devices.

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.
