Issue #7622: Improve the split(), rsplit(), splitlines() and replace()
methods of bytes, bytearray and unicode objects by using a common
implementation based on stringlib's fast search. Patch by Florent Xicluna.
........
- Add special-cases for list and tuple objects.
- Use _PyObject_LengthHint() instead of an arbitrary value for the
size of the initial buffer of the returned object.
Addresses the float -> string conversion, using David Gay's code which
was added in Mark Dickinson's checkin r71663.
Also addresses these, which are intertwined with the short repr
changes:
- Issue #5772: format(1e100, '<') produces '1e+100', not '1.0e+100'
- Issue #5515: 'n' formatting with commas no longer works poorly
with leading zeros.
- PEP 378 Format Specifier for Thousands Separator: implemented
for floats.
This is incomplete, but I want to get some version into the next alpha. I am still working on:
Documentation.
More tests.
Implement for floats.
In addition, there's an existing bug with 'n' formatting that carries forward to thousands grouping (issue 5515).

PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize -> _PyUnicode_AsStringAndSize to mark
them for interpreter internal use only.
We'll have to rework these APIs or create new ones for the
purpose of accessing the UTF-8 representation of Unicode objects
for 3.1.
Use faster PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() for bytes/bytearray.decode().
Add new PyCodec_KnownEncoding() API.
Add new PyUnicode_AsDecodedUnicode() and PyUnicode_AsEncodedUnicode() APIs.
Add missing PyUnicode_AsDecodedObject() to unicodeobject.h
Fix punicode codec to also work on memoryviews.
Before this change, the following example would output:
>>> b = bytearray(b"hello")
>>> b += "world"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C. This allows for usage of the
'warnings' code in places where it was previously not possible (e.g., the

Python version in key places.

No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.
Add a bytes iterator (copied from stringobject.c and reindented :-).
I (Guido) added a small change to _abcoll.py to remove the registration
of bytes as a virtual subtype of Iterator -- the presence of __iter__
will handle that now.
Additional patch by Christian Heimes to deal more cleanly with the
FILE* vs file-descriptor issues.
I cleaned up his code a bit, and moved the lseek() call into import.c.
to be called a buffer). Shares code with stringobject when possible.
Adds unit tests with common code that should be usable to test the PEPs
mutable buffer() and immutable bytes() types.
http://bugs.python.org/issue1261
Support bytes.split() and bytes.strip() -- these split/strip using ASCII
whitespace (tab, space, CR, LF, FF, VT) like their str counterparts.
Also for rsplit(), lstrip() and rstrip().
And change all these functions to accept arbitrary buffer-API-supporting
arguments.
With unit tests.
From now on, trying to write str to a binary stream
is an error (I'm still working on the reverse).
There are still (at least) two failing tests:
- test_asynchat
- test_urllib2_localnet
but I'm sure these will be fixed by someone.
be answered with the comments removed.
There are many places that require checks when doing arithmetic for memory
sizes when allocating memory. Otherwise, overflow is possible with
a subsequent crash.
Fix SF #1777057 which was a result of not initializing the new BufferError
properly. Had to update the test for exceptions for BufferError too.
strings, in Latin-1. Bytes are once more pickled through bytes.__reduce__,
but now it returns "latin-1" as the second parameter.
Unfortunately this breaks datetime pickling. I'll have to investigate
further; reverting Martin's changes doesn't seem to help.
's' and 'c' codes.
Change pickle to dump bytes objects using the 'S'
code, and to load the 'S' code as byte objects.
Change datetime and array to generate and expect
bytes objects in reduce/unreduce.
This affects the parser, various object implementations,
and all places that put identifiers into C string literals.
In testing, a number of crashes occurred as code would
fail when the recursion limit was reached (such as the
Unicode interning dictionary having key/value pairs where
key is not value). To solve these, I added an overflowed
flag, which allows for 50 more recursions after the
limit was reached and the exception was raised, and
a recursion_critical flag, which indicates that recursion
absolutely must be allowed, i.e. that a certain call
must not cause a stack overflow exception.
There are still some places where both str and str8 are
accepted as identifiers; these should eventually be
removed.
PyString_Concat() and PyString_ConcatAndDel() (the name PyUnicode_Concat()
was already taken).
Change PyObject_Repr() to always return a unicode object.
Update all repr implementations to return unicode objects.
Add a function PyObject_ReprStr8() that calls PyObject_Repr() and converts
the result to an 8bit string.
Use PyObject_ReprStr8() where using PyObject_Repr() can't be done
straightforward.
which unfortunately means the errors from the bytes type change somewhat:
bytes([300]) still raises a ValueError, but bytes([10**100]) now raises a
TypeError (either that, or bytes(1.0) also raises a ValueError --
PyNumber_AsSsize_t() can only raise one type of exception.)

Even though _Py_Mangle() isn't truly public anyone can call it and
there was no verification that privateobj was a PyString. If it wasn't
a string, this could have allowed a NULL pointer to creep in below and crash.
I wonder if this should be PyString_CheckExact? Must identifiers be strings
or can they be subclasses?

test_signal: Signal handling on the Tru64 buildbot
appears to be utterly insane. Plug some theoretical
insecurities in the test script:
- Verify that the SIGALRM handler was actually installed.
- Don't call alarm() before the handler is installed.
- Move everything that can fail inside the try/finally,
so the test cleans up after itself more often.
- Try sending all the expected signals in
force_test_exit(), not just SIGALRM. Since that was
fixed to actually send SIGALRM (instead of invisibly
dying with an AttributeError), we've seen that sending
SIGALRM alone does not stop this from hanging.
- Move the "kill the child" business into the finally
clause, so the child doesn't survive test failure
to send SIGALRM to other tests later (there are also
baffling SIGALRM-related failures in test_socket).
- Cancel the alarm in the finally clause -- if the
test dies early, we again don't want SIGALRM showing
up to confuse a later test.
Alas, this still relies on timing luck wrt the spawned
script that sends the test signals, but it's hard to see
how waiting for seconds can so often be so unlucky.
test_threadedsignals: curiously, this test never fails
on Tru64, but doesn't normally signal SIGALRM. Anyway,
fixed an obvious (but probably inconsequential) logic
error.

Ah, fudge. One of the prints here actually "shouldn't be"
protected by "if verbose:", which caused the test to fail on
all non-Windows boxes.
Note that I deliberately didn't convert this to unittest yet,
because I expect it would be even harder to debug this on Tru64
after conversion.

Fix a couple of bugs exposed by the new __index__ code. The 64-bit buildbots
were failing due to inappropriate clipping of numbers larger than 2**31
with new-style classes. (typeobject.c) In reviewing the code for classic
classes, there were 2 problems. Any negative value return could be returned.
Always return -1 if there was an error. Also make the checks similar
with the new-style classes. I believe this is correct for 32 and 64 bit
boxes, including Windows64.
Add a test of classic classes too.

Apply the patch #1532975 plus ideas from the patch #1533481.
ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented
'_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign
function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in
the type's stgdict.
In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if
other conversions are not possible.
This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended.
Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.

Tutorial:
Clarify somewhat how parameters are passed to functions
(especially explain what integer means).
Correct the table - Python integers and longs can both be used.
Further clarification to the table comparing ctypes types, Python
types, and C types.
Reference:
Replace integer by C ``int`` where it makes sense.

Add asserts to check for 'impossible' NULL values, with comments.
In one place where I'n not 1000% sure about the non-NULL, raise
a RuntimeError for safety.
This should fix the klocwork issues that Neal sent me. If so,
it should be applied to the release25-maint branch also.

(classobject.[ch] aren't empty yet because they also define PyMethod.)
This breaks lots of stuff, notably cPickle. But it's a step in the right
direction. I'll clean it up later.
(Also a few unrelated changes, e.g. T_NONE to define a "struct member"
that is always None, and simplification of __hash__ -- these are unfinished.)
variations of the type struct and its attachments. In Py3k, all type
structs have to have all fields -- no binary backwards compatibility.
Had to change the complex object to a new-style number!
