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
extension implemented flush() was fixed. Scott also rewrite the
zlib test suite using the unittest module. (SF bug #640230 and
patch #678531.)
Backport candidate I think.
port the tests to PyUnit and add many tests for error
cases. This increases code coverage in Python/bltinmodule.c
from 75% to 92%. (From SF patch #662807, with
assert_(not fcmp(x, y)) replaced with assertAlmostEqual(x, y)
where possible)
sys.getwindowsversion() on Windows (new enahanced Tim-proof <wink>
version), and fix test_pep277.py in a few minor ways.
Including doc and NEWS entries.
the tokenize module by test_tokenize.py. The FutureWarnings only
appeared during installation, and I've figured out a way to suppress
those in a different way.
existed at the time atexit first got imported. That's a bug, and this
fixes it.
Also reworked test_atexit.py to test for this too, and to stop using
an "expected output" file, and to test what actually happens at exit
instead of just simulating what it thinks atexit will do at exit.
Bugfix candidate, but it's messy so I'll backport to 2.2 myself.
If multiple header fields with the same name occur, they are combined
according to the rules in RFC 2616 sec 4.2:
Appending each subsequent field-value to the first, each separated by
a comma. The order in which header fields with the same field-name are
received is significant to the interpretation of the combined field
value.
Also add a test that Python doesn't die with SIGXFSZ if it exceeds the
file rlimit. (Assuming this will also test the behavior when the 2GB
limit is exceed on a platform that doesn't have large file support.)
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python
226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang
Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)
There were never tests for the fact that list() always returns a *new*
list object, even when the argument is a list, while tuple() may
return a reference to the argument when it is a tuple. Now there are.
Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.
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.
