the output required more than one line. "Small" dicts got
displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order
produced by dict.__repr__). None of this was documented.
Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs
promise it.
This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core
sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.
but disabled then because str and unicode strings gave different
results. The implementations were repaired later during the
sprint, but the new test remained disabled.
SimpleXMLRPCServer and DocXMLRPCServer don't look at
the path of the HTTP request at all; you can POST or
GET from / or /RPC2 or /blahblahblah with the same results.
Security scanners that look for /cgi-bin/phf will therefore report
lots of vulnerabilities.
Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class,
and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list.
Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only
'/' and '/RPC2' legal. Maybe this will break people's applications
(though I doubt it). We could just set the default to an empty tuple,
which would exactly match the current behaviour.
are run in the order:
test_genexps (or any other doctest-based test)

The `warnings` module needs an advertised way to save/restore
its internal filter list.
Renames functional extension module to _functools and adds a Python
functools module so that utility functions like update_wrapper can be
added easily.
Remove various dependencies on dictionary order in the standard library
tests, and one (clearly an oversight, potentially critical) in the
standard library itself - base64.py.
Remaining open issues:
* test_extcall is an output test, messy to make robust
* tarfile.py has a potential bug here, but I'm not familiar
enough with this code. Filed in as SF bug #1496501.
* urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgr() returns a random result if there is more
than one matching root path. I'm asking python-dev for
clarification...
invalid file paths for the built-in import machinery which leads to
fewer open calls on startup.
Also fix issue with PEP 302 style import hooks which lead to more open()
calls than necessary.
failures on Windows buildbots, but it's hard to know how since the regrtest
failure output is useless here, and it never fails when a buildbot slave runs
test_tarfile the second time in verbose mode.
The new split functions use a preallocated list. Added tests which exceed
the preallocation size, to exercise list appends/resizes.
Also added more edge case tests.
* Added socket.recv_buf() and socket.recvfrom_buf() methods, that use the buffer
protocol (send and sendto already did).
* Added struct.pack_to(), that is the corresponding buffer compatible method to
unpack_from().
* Fixed minor typos in arraymodule.
the Need For Speed sprint coding. Includes commented out overflow tests
which will be uncommented once the code is fixed.
This test will break the 8-bit string tests because
"".replace("", "A") == "" when it should == "A"
We have a fix for it, which should be added tomorrow.
In rare cases of strings specifying true values near sys.maxint,
and oddball bases (not decimal or a power of 2), int(string, base)
could deliver insane answers. This repairs all such problems, and
also speeds string->int significantly. On my box, here are %
speedups for decimal strings of various lengths:
length speedup
------ -------
1 12.4%
2 15.7%
3 20.6%
4 28.1%
5 33.2%
6 37.5%
7 41.9%
8 46.3%
9 51.2%
10 19.5%
11 19.9%
12 23.9%
13 23.7%
14 23.3%
15 24.9%
16 25.3%
17 28.3%
18 27.9%
19 35.7%
Note that the difference between 9 and 10 is the difference between
short and long Python ints on a 32-bit box. The patch doesn't
actually do anything to speed conversion to long: the speedup is
due to detecting "unsigned long" overflow more quickly.
This is a bugfix candidate, but it's a non-trivial patch and it
would be painful to separate the "bug fix" from the "speed up" parts.
This patchs makes it possible to create a universal build on OSX 10.4 and use
the result to build extensions on 10.3. It also makes it possible to override
the '-arch' and '-isysroot' compiler arguments for specific extensions.
the file object in binary mode.
The Windows buildbot slaves shouldn't swap themselves to death
anymore. However, test_tarfile may still fail because of a
temp directory left behind from a previous failing run.
Windows buildbot owners may need to remove that directory
by hand.
* Don't use xcodebuild for building PythonLauncher, but use a normal unix
makefile. This makes it a lot easier to use the same build flags as for the
rest of python (e.g. make a universal version of python launcher)
* Convert the mac makefile-s to makefile.in-s and use configure to set makefile
variables instead of forwarding them as command-line arguments
* Add a C version of pythonw, that we you can use '#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw'
* Build IDLE.app using bundlebuilder instead of BuildApplet, that will allow
easier modification of the bundle contents later on.

There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__:

spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew

Patch #1464708 from William McVey: fixed handling of nested comments in mail
addresses. E.g.
"Foo ((Foo Bar)) <foo@example.com>"
Fixes for both rfc822.py and email package. This patch needs to be back
ported to Python 2.3 for email 2.5.
Printing to stdout, doesn't mean the data was actually written.
It depends on the buffering, so we need to flush. This will hopefully
really fix the buildbots getting killed due to no output on the slow bots.
- Warn-raise ImportWarning when importing would have picked up a directory
as package, if only it'd had an __init__.py. This swaps two tests (for
case-ness and __init__-ness), but case-test is not really more expensive,
and it's not in a speed-critical section.
- Test for the new warning by importing a common non-package directory on
sys.path: site-packages
- In regrtest.py, silence warnings generated by the build-environment
because Modules/ (which is added to sys.path for Setup-created modules)
has 'zlib' and '_ctypes' directories without __init__.py's.

something to play with in 2.5 alpha 2, and hopefully get more people to
write these tests.

not a test failure -- you have to pay attention to the

It's likely that more renaming in test_with.py would be desirable.
The new char-array used in ioctl calls wasn't explicitly NUL-terminated;
quite probably the cause for the test_pty failures on Solaris that we
circumvented earlier. (I wasn't able to reproduce it with this patch, but it
has been somewhat elusive to start with.)
terminology in the alpha 1 documentation.
- "context manager" reverts to its alpha 1 definition
- the term "context specifier" goes away entirely
- contextlib.GeneratorContextManager is renamed GeneratorContext
There are still a number of changes relative to alpha 1:
- the expression in the with statement is explicitly called the
"context expression" in the language reference
- the terms 'with statement context', 'context object' or 'with
statement context' are used in several places instead of a bare
'context'. The aim of this is to avoid ambiguity in relation to the
runtime context set up when the block is executed, and the context
objects that already exist in various application domains (such as
decimal.Context)
- contextlib.contextmanager is renamed to contextfactory
This best reflects the nature of the function resulting from the
use of that decorator
- decimal.ContextManager is renamed to WithStatementContext
Simple dropping the 'Manager' part wasn't possible due to the
fact that decimal.Context already exists and means something
different. WithStatementContext is ugly but workable.
A technically unrelated change snuck into this commit:
contextlib.closing now avoids the overhead of creating a
generator, since it's trivial to implement that particular
context manager directly.
the 2005 Summer of Code).
The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding
and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and
default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message.
The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility.
The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module
and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface
is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing
code.
(The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different
news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)
compatibility classes in the new mailbox.py that I'll be committing in
a few minutes.
One change has been made: the tests use len(mbox) instead of len(mbox.boxes).
The 'boxes' attribute was never documented and contains some internal state
that seems unlikely to have been useful.
Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import
inside the function. As a result, due to Python's
import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows
(directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile)
hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a
side effect of importing a module.
This is a depressingly frequent problem, and
deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for
a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts
for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows,
and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin
with (ntpath needs a different implementation
depending on whether we're actually running on
Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that
is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_
the function).
Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind
get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py
is a convenient place to add tests for them.
bottom of the file. Restored that, and added a comment
explaining why this is necessary. Hint: on my box, and
yours, it's not :-(
Also added an __all__ list.
and provide a substitute if the import fails, because pyclbr sees the
class definition. Changed to ignore such cases' base classes and methods,
since they will not match.
to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html
pydoc now supports PEP 302 importers, by way of utility functions in
pkgutil, such as 'walk_packages()'. It will properly document
modules that are in zip files, and is backward compatible to Python
2.3 (setuptools installs for Python <2.5 will bundle it so pydoc
doesn't break when used with eggs.)
What has not changed is that pydoc command line options do not support
zip paths or other importer paths, and the webserver index does not
support sys.meta_path. Those are probably okay as limitations.
Tasks remaining: write docs and Misc/NEWS for pkgutil/pydoc changes,
and update setuptools to use pkgutil wherever possible, then add it
to the stdlib.
much convolution <0.5 wink>. Simplified to the point that it works,
and test_threading_local no longer reports leaks under -R. Thanks
to Thomas Wouters for initial analysis.
to share common PEP 302 support code, as described here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/063724.html
This revision strips all the PEP 302 emulation code from runpy,
replacing it with published API classes and functions in pkgutil,
mostly using setuptools' implementation of common functionality,
but adding features from runpy, and doing some refactoring to make
the layer pydoc needs easier to implement on top of this.
One step down, four to go, although step #4 (adding C versions of
the new APIs to 'imp') may not be able to make it in time for
alpha 2. We'll see how that goes.
configure time. The current check is too strict and doesn't allow building
extensions that can only run on newer versions of the OS than the version
python was build for, that is python build for 10.3 or later and an extension
for 10.4. This patch relaxes this check.
This turned out to be a reimplementation of patch 1193190.
/path/to/uninstalled/python setup.py build_ext

the above command did not look for pyconfig.h, but the
bug is really in the look-up code: expecting to find it
in os.curdir is a rather fragile idea.
'python.org' when deciding what server to use for the timeout tests; getting
tired of seeing the test fail on all my boxes ;P This'll still allow the
test to fail for hosts in the XS4ALL network that don't have an 'xs4all'
hostname, so maybe it should use a fallback scheme instead.
exceptions that can't be raised any further, because (for instance) they
occur in __del__ methods. The coroutine tests in test_generators was
triggering this leak. Remove the leakers' testcase, and add a simpler
testcase that explicitly tests this leak to test_generators.
test_generators now no longer leaks at all, on my machine. This fix may also
solve other leaks, but my full refleakhunting run is still busy, so who
knows?
not be tracked by GC. This fixes 254 of test_generators' refleaks on my
machine, but I'm sure something else will make them come back :>
Not adding a separate test for this kind of cycle, since the existing
fib/m235 already test them in more extensive ways than any 'minimal' test
has been able to manage.
examples no longer require any explicit closing to avoid
leaking.
That the tee-based examples still do is (I think) still a
mystery. Part of the mystery is that gc.garbage remains
empty: if it were the case that some generator in a trash
cycle said it needed finalization, suppressing collection
of that cycle, that generator _would_ show up in gc.garbage.
So this is acting more like, e.g., some tp_traverse slot
isn't visiting all the pointers it should (in which case
the skipped pointer(s) would act like an external root,
silently suppressing collection of everything reachable
from it(them)).
problems: first, PyGen_NeedsFinalizing() had an off-by-one bug that
prevented it from ever saying a generator didn't need finalizing, and
second, frame objects cleared themselves in a way that caused their
owning generator to think they were still executable, causing a double
deallocation of objects on the value stack if there was still a loop
on the block stack. This revision also removes some unnecessary
close() operations from test_generators that are now appropriately
handled by the cycle collector.
an incremental encoder that must retain part of the data between calls
to the encode() method.
Fix the incremental encoder and decoder for the IDNA encoding.
This closes SF patch #1453235.
The test case came from test_generators, not test_itertools.
Ensure there's no cyclic garbage we are counting.

This may be causing the debian sparc buildbot to fail.
Print a little message to let the user ^w buildbot know it's still thinking.
We may want to adjust the time period which is currently 5 minutes.
