* 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.
[ 1180995 ] binary formats for marshalling floats
Adds 2 new type codes for marshal (binary floats and binary complexes), a
new marshal version (2), updates MAGIC and fiddles the de-serializing of
code objects to be less likely to clobber the real reason for failing if
it fails.
[ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can
which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in
anyway if noone reviews it. Please read the diff on the checkin list,
at least!
The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if
the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so
_PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around.
The rest is hair for testing, and tests.
A problem regarding importing symlinked modules was recently reported on the
Cygwin mailing list:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00257.html
The following test case demonstrates the problem:
$ ls -l
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jt None 6 Apr 23 13:32 bar.py -> foo.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 jt None 24 Apr 18 20:13 foo.py
$ python -c 'import bar'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named bar
Since Cygwin's case_ok() uses a modified version of the Windows's version, the
symlinked bar module actually resolves to file foo.py instead of bar.py. This
obviously causes the matching code to fail (regardless of case).
The patch fixes this problem by making Cygwin use the Mac OS X case_ok()
instead of a modified Window's version.
crashing, and indirectly on the fact that hash codes in
random.randrange(1000000000) were very unlikely to exhibit collisions.
To see the problem, replace this number with 500 and observe the crash on
either del target[key] or del keys[i].
The fix prevents recursive mutation, just as in the key insertion case.
