[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
assertRaises. Fixed a repeated subtle bug in the inplace tests by
removing the possibilty that a self.fail() call could raise a
TypeError that the test catches by mistake.
Allow mixed-type __eq__ and __ne__ for Set objects. This is messier than
I'd like because Set *also* implements __cmp__. I know of one glitch now:
cmp(s, t) returns 0 now when s and t are both Sets and s == t, despite
that Set.__cmp__ unconditionally raises TypeError (and by intent). The
rub is that __eq__ gets tried first, and the x.__eq__(y) True result
convinces Python that cmp(x, y) is 0 without even calling Set.__cmp__.
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2]. (SF patch
#693195.) Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!
The problem is in sre_compile.py: the call to
_compile_charset near the end of _compile_info forgets to
pass in the flags, so that the info charset is not compiled
with re.U. (The info charset is used when searching to find
the first character at which a match could start; it is not
generated for patterns beginning with a repeat like '\w{1}'.)
test_nonrecursive_deep(): Reduced nesting depth to 60.
Not a bugfix candidate. 2.3 increased the number of stack frames
needed to pickle a list (in order to get implement the "list
batching" unpickling memory optimization new in 2.3).
between str, unicode, UserString and the string module
as possible. This increases code coverage in stringobject.c
from 83% to 86% and should help keep the string classes
in sync in the future. From SF patch #662807
time.sleep(1) sometimes delays for fractionally less than a second
resulting in too short of an interval for C's time.time() function
to create a distinct seed.
Fix off-by-1 error in normalize_line_endings():
when *p == '\0' the NUL was copied into q and q was auto-incremented,
the loop was broken out of,
then a newline was appended followed by a NUL.
So the function, in effect, was strcpy() but added two extra chars
which was caught by obmalloc in debug mode, since there was only
room for 1 additional newline.
Get test working under regrtest (added test_main).
the optional proto 2 slot state.
pickle.py, load_build(): CAUTION: Noted that cPickle's
load_build and pickle's load_build really don't do the same
things with the state, and didn't before this patch either.
cPickle never tries to do .update(), and has no backoff if
instance.__dict__ can't be retrieved. There are no tests
that can tell the difference, and part of what cPickle's
load_build() did looked accidental to me, so I don't know
what the true intent is here.
pickletester.py, test_pickle.py: Got rid of the hack for
exempting cPickle from running some of the proto 2 tests.
dictobject.c, PyDict_Next(): documented intended use.
test_linuxaudiodev.py) are no longer run by default. This is
because they don't always work, depending on your hardware and
software. To run these tests, you must use an invocation like
./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -u audio test_ossaudiodev
