Raymond Hettinger 6a5b027742 Added itertools.tee()
It works like the pure python verion except:
* it stops storing data after of the iterators gets deallocated
* the data queue is implemented with two stacks instead of one dictionary.

Guido van Rossum 16b9fa8db3 - The pwd module incorrectly advertised its struct type as

Brett Cannon 26b3a7b82c Modified the Py_RETURN_* macros by having the statements surrounded by {} in
order to prevent any unexpected surprises from someone using them in a

Jeremy Hylton d808279be3 Double-fix of crash in Unicode freelist handling.
If a length-1 Unicode string was in the freelist and it was
uninitialized or pointed to a very large (magnitude) negative number,
the check

	 unicode_latin1[unicode->str[0]] == unicode

could cause a segmentation violation, e.g. unicode->str[0] is 0xcbcbcbcb.

Fix this in two ways:

1. Change guard befor unicode_latin1[] to test against 256U.  If I
   understand correctly, the unsigned long used to store UCS4 on my
   box was getting converted to a signed long to compare with the
   signed constant 256.

2. Change _PyUnicode_New() to make sure the first element of str is
   always initialized to zero.  There are several places in the code
   where the caller can exit with an error before initializing any
   of str, which would leave junk in str[0].

Also, silence a compiler warning on pointer vs. int arithmetic.

Bug fix candidate.

Tim Peters f1827cfaab SF bug 801631: file.truncate fault on windows.
file_truncate():  C doesn't define what fflush(fp) does if fp is open
for update, and the preceding I/O operation on fp was input.  On Windows,
fflush() actually changes the current file position then.  Because
Windows doesn't support ftruncate() directly, this not only caused
Python's file.truncate() to change the file position (contra our docs),
it also caused the file not to change size.

Repaired by getting the initial file position at the start, restoring
it at the end, and tossing all the complicated micro-efficiency checks
trying to avoid "provably unnecessary" seeks.  file.truncate() can't
be a frequent operation, and seeking to the current file position has
got to be cheap anyway.

Bugfix candidate.

2003-08-18 23:52:09 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6a1801271a Improvements to set.py:
* Relaxed the argument restrictions for non-operator methods.  They now
  allow any iterable instead of requiring a set.  This makes the module
  a little easier to use and paves the way for an efficient C
  implementation which can take better advantage of iterable arguments
  while screening out immutables.

* Deprecated Set.update() because it now duplicates Set.union_update()

* Adapted the tests and docs to include the above changes.

* Added more test coverage including testing identities and checking
  to make sure non-restartable generators work as arguments.

Will backport to Py2.3.1 so that the interface remains consistent
across versions.  The deprecation of update() will be changed to
a FutureWarning.

Tim Peters 291f14e3d3 Windows fix: When PYTHONCASEOK is set, or for any other reason imports
are satisfied in a case-insensitive manner, the attempt to import (the
non-existent) fcntl gets satisfied by FCNTL.py instead, and the tempfile
module defines a Unix-specific _set_cloexec() function in that case.  As
a result, temp files can't be created then (blows up with an AttributeError
trying to reference fcntl.fcntl).  This just popped up in the spambayes
project, where there is no apparent workaround (which is why I'm pushing
this in now).

Raymond Hettinger 71adf7e9d8 Doctest now examines all docstrings by default. Previously, it would
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention).  The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently.  Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions.  The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester().  The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

Tim Peters e5e065b669 New function sys.getcheckinterval(), to complement setcheckinterval(). 2003-07-06 18:36:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 2e7e7df969 An Anonymous Coward on c.l.py posted a little program with bizarre
behavior, creating many threads very quickly.  A long debugging session
revealed that the Windows implementation of PyThread_start_new_thread()
was choked with "laziness" errors:

1. It checked MS _beginthread() for a failure return, but when that
   happened it returned heap trash as the function result, instead of
   an id of -1 (the proper error-return value).

2. It didn't consider that the Win32 CreateSemaphore() can fail.

3. When creating a great many threads very quickly, it's quite possible
   that any particular bootstrap call can take virtually any amount of
   time to return.  But the code waited for a maximum of 5 seconds, and
   didn't check to see whether the semaphore it was waiting for got
   signaled.  If it in fact timed out, the function could again return
   heap trash as the function result.  This is actually what confused
   the test program, as the heap trash usually turned out to be 0, and
   then multiple threads all got id 0 simultaneously, confusing the
   hell out of threading.py's _active dict (mapping id to thread
   object).  A variety of baffling behaviors followed from that.

WRT #1 and #2, error returns are checked now, and "thread.error: can't
start new thread" gets raised now if a new thread (or new semaphore)
can't be created.  WRT #3, we now wait for the semaphore without a
timeout.

Also removed useless local vrbls, folded long lines, and changed callobj
to a stack auto (it was going thru malloc/free instead, for no discernible
reason).

Bugfix candidate.

Barry Warsaw 883f22321a Added news about os.environ['PYTHONINSPECT'] = 'yes' 2003-06-29 17:10:11 +00:00
Tim Peters c98ccfd29f Typo repair. 2003-06-29 16:56:38 +00:00
Tim Peters 685e69739e Provide dummy (do-nothing) settrace() and setprofile() functions until
Jeremy can check in the real things.
2003-06-29 16:50:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 2740944361 Filled in release date; repaired grammar in a news item. 2003-06-29 16:18:08 +00:00
Tim Peters db3756dade Some nifty doctest extensions from Jim Fulton, currently used in Zope3.
I won't have time to write real docs, but spent a lot of time adding
comments to his code and fleshing out the exported functions' docstrings.
There's probably opportunity to consolidate how docstrings get extracted
too, and the new code for that is probably better than the old code for
that (which strained mightily to recover from 2.2's new class/type
gimmicks).

Raymond Hettinger 643bcecad0 SF patch #760257: add socket.timeout exception 2003-06-29 03:29:42 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger a4148c3cc8 Added Bob Halley for work on socket.timeout 2003-06-29 03:27:45 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 90a2041ffd Added Steven Taschuk for efforts fixing zipfile.py 2003-06-28 20:10:26 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c0fac96c29 SF patch #756996: Bare except in ZipFile.testzip()
(Contributed by Steven Taschuk)

Replaces a bare except that caused all errors to be mis-reported as
archive errors.

Added a related NEWS item.
2003-06-27 22:25:03 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 6f3eaa67e5 SF patch #761519: Fixes for bugs 760703 and 757821
SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.

Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.

Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.

Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).
2003-06-27 21:43:39 +00:00
Tim Peters 6ebe61fa80 A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0".  This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3.  I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten.  In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.

Note that this substitution is very simple-minded:  the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens.  No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0].  This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.
2003-06-27 20:48:05 +00:00
Tim Peters faa697a5c9 2.3b2 on Windows will ship with Tcl/Tk 8.4.3. Note: this still didn't
fix the hangs on Win98SE when starting IDLE via "python" from a DOS box,
but did appear to make them harder to provoke.  I closed that bug report
as being hopeless (and if someone wants to open it again, don't dare
assign it to me again <0.1 wink>).
2003-06-22 01:42:20 +00:00
Ken Manheimer 8e9b80fd56 Remove short-circuitying grubbing by using last grubbed buffer. It's
evil - if the last grubbed buffer didn't happen to be the right one,
you couldn't remedy.

Mainline emacs compat - don't use third arg to buffer-substring (which
was for explicitly identifying the buffer in which to seek the
substring, and which turns out to be unnecessary).
2003-06-17 19:18:57 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 364ca40c2a SF Patch 569574 - enhancements to cgitb for plain text display 2003-06-17 12:58:31 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger d05abdec7b SF #754014: list.index() should accept optional start, end arguments
Also, modified UserList.index() to match and expanded the related tests.
2003-06-17 05:05:49 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton e0c3112ae7 Add item about new threading module functions. 2003-06-16 20:38:15 +00:00
Jack Jansen f5e23ff3c6 Added two mac items (pimp auto-update and OSA property access). 2003-06-16 13:53:40 +00:00
Tim Peters cda32b7d1d mimetools.choose_boundary() news. 2003-06-15 23:13:35 +00:00

Martin v. Löwis ba8f5ff76c Copy builtin functions as atomic. Fixes #746304. Will backport to 2.2. 2003-06-14 07:10:06 +00:00
Brett Cannon 4e64d78bbb dummy_thread modified to have interrupt_main and to behave appropriately when
called.

Added announcement in Misc/NEWS for thread.interrupt_main and mention of
dummy_thread's change.
2003-06-13 23:44:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ce74f8ae96 News about the new IDLE (is more needed?). News about SF patch
751998.
2003-06-13 20:37:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 99d2c251df SF patch 707900, fixing bug 702858, by Steven Taschuk.
Copying a new-style class that had a reference to itself didn't work.
(The same thing worked fine for old-style classes.)
2003-06-13 19:28:47 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 4e3363e884 Warn about creating global variables by __setattr__ that shadow builtin
names.  Unfortunately, this is not bulletproof since the module
dictionary can be modified directly.
2003-06-09 18:42:19 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c4370d94e1 Add the IDLEFORK team. 2003-06-09 08:55:14 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 2f3c74a538 Added a command line interface for difflib.py 2003-06-08 23:10:15 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c24d767809 Announce difflib.context_diff() and difflib.unified_diff(). 2003-06-08 19:42:33 +00:00
Neal Norwitz f177bf22f9 The fix to use . was incorporated 2003-06-08 02:25:17 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 9556fba685 - urllib2.py now knows how to order proxy classes, so the user doesn't
have to insert it in front of other classes, nor do dirty tricks like
  inserting a "dummy" HTTPHandler after a ProxyHandler when building an
  opener with proxy support.
2003-06-07 17:53:08 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 816065f0f9 Remove -U from argument list. 2003-05-26 05:15:35 +00:00
Tim Peters 50d8b8b6ae Fleshed out WeakKeyDictionary.__delitem__ NEWS to cover issues raised on
Python-Dev.  Fixed typos in test comments.  Added some trivial new test
guts to show the parallelism (now) among __delitem__, __setitem__ and
__getitem__ wrt error conditions.

Still a bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 final, but waiting for Fred to get a
chance to chime in.
2003-05-25 17:44:31 +00:00
Tim Peters 886128f4f8 SF 742860: WeakKeyDictionary __delitem__ uses iterkeys
Someone review this, please!  Final releases are getting close, Fred
(the weakref guy) won't be around until Tuesday, and the pre-patch
code can indeed raise spurious RuntimeErrors in the presence of
threads or mutating comparison functions.

See the bug report for my confusions:  I can't see any reason for why
__delitem__ iterated over the keys.  The new one-liner implementation
is much faster, can't raise RuntimeError, and should be better-behaved
in all respects wrt threads.

New tests test_weak_keyed_bad_delitem and
test_weak_keyed_cascading_deletes fail before this patch.

Bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 too, if someone else agrees with this patch.
2003-05-25 01:45:11 +00:00
Tim Peters e87568dd9a SF bug 705231: Assertion failed, python aborts.
float_pow():  Don't let the platform pow() raise -1.0 to an integer power
anymore; at least glibc gets it wrong in some cases.  Note that
math.pow() will continue to deliver wrong (but platform-native) results
in such cases.
2003-05-24 20:18:24 +00:00
Tim Peters 3cfe75470d PyType_Ready(): Complain if the type is a base type, and gc'able, and
tp_free is NULL or PyObject_Del at the end.  Because it's a base type
it must call tp_free in its dealloc function, and because it's gc'able
it must not call PyObject_Del.

inherit_slots():  Don't inherit tp_free unless the type and its base
agree about whether they're gc'able.  If the type is gc'able and the
base is not, and the base uses the default PyObject_Del for its
tp_free, give the type PyObject_GC_Del for its tp_free (the appropriate
default for a gc'able type).

cPickle.c:  The Pickler and Unpickler types claim to be base classes
and gc'able, but their dealloc functions didn't call tp_free.
Repaired that.  Also call PyType_Ready() on these typeobjects, so
that the correct (PyObject_GC_Del) default memory-freeing function
gets plugged into these types' tp_free slots.
2003-05-21 21:29:48 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 22952a3efc SF bug 735293: Command line timeit.py sets sys.path badly
Paul Moore's patch to have timeit.py check the current directory for
imports (instead of the directory for Lib/timeit.py).
2003-05-20 04:59:56 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 9e46abed50 Fix array.array.insert(), so that it treats negative indices as
being relative to the end of the array, just like list.insert() does.
This closes SF bug #739313.
2003-05-18 03:15:10 +00:00
Tim Peters b0c854d6a7 datetime.timedelta is now subclassable in Python. The new test shows
one good use:  a subclass adding a method to express the duration as
a number of hours (or minutes, or whatever else you want to add).  The
native breakdown into days+seconds+us is often clumsy.  Incidentally
moved a large chunk of object-initialization code closer to the top of
the file, to avoid worse forward-reference trickery.
2003-05-17 15:57:00 +00:00
Tim Peters a98924a063 datetime.datetime and datetime.time can now be subclassed in Python. Brr. 2003-05-17 05:55:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa19f7c20d More fixes according to SF 549151:
- When redirecting, always use GET.  This is common practice and
  more-or-less sanctioned by the HTTP standard.

- Add a handler for 307 redirection, which becomes an error for POST,
  but a regular redirect for GET and HEAD.
2003-05-16 01:46:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bf1bef820c Add optional 'onerror' argument to os.walk(), to control error
handling.

Raymond Hettinger 71e0033200 Added a tool for making a rough check of LaTeX documents.
It checks for known commands, forward slashes, unbalanced or
mismatched delimters, and unbalanced or mismatched begin/end blocks.

Martin v. Löwis 28e9ce9df2 Patch #734118: Add {get|set}busywaitinterval. 2003-05-09 08:19:48 +00:00
Tim Peters c4607dadce Leading "C:" no longer hardcoded in the default installation directory.
After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.
2003-05-08 18:13:59 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 686b14d7ad SF bug #730296: Unexpected Changes in list Iterator
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.

This caused some usabilty and performance problems.  Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter.  Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.

2003-05-05 16:13:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 015dd82136 Somewhere along the way, the softspace attr of file objects became read-

Ken Manheimer 2448f1b655 Slightly more lenient pdbtrack prompt recognition, for people who use
eg "pdb>".
2003-05-01 21:07:32 +00:00
Ken Manheimer 595adce09b Allow for multiple parens around pdb prompt for (new) nested debugging
sessions (and some cosmetic wording changes).

(testing this sucker is a bitch!).
2003-04-25 07:11:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e7adda9035 Move socket news to 2.3b1 section! And mention has_ipv6. 2003-04-25 05:52:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 47dfa4a89a Patch by Jp Calderone:
- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
  for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
  See SF patch #658327.

This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).

Marc-André Lemburg 246d847475 New module platform.py, submitted by Marc-Andre Lemburg.
There's no separate documentation for this module yet - apart from the
doc-strings which explain the APIs.
2003-04-24 11:36:11 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger f4cf76dd5e Revert the previous enhancement to the bytecode optimizer.
The additional code complexity and new NOP opcode were not worth it.
2003-04-24 05:45:23 +00:00
Thomas Heller 5eccabc730 Mention the new getargs.c format codes. 2003-04-23 19:35:25 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 1d87786305 SF patch 557704: netrc module can't handle all passwords
Revised netrc.py to include the additional ascii punctuation
characters.  Omitted the other logic changes.  See
Lib/netrc.py 1.17.

Since this is more of a feature request than a bug,
including in Py2.3 but not recommending for backporting.
2003-04-23 19:06:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 11b2306960 Enable os.fsync() for Windows, mapping it to MS's _commit() there. The
docs here are best-guess:  the MS docs I could find weren't clear, and
some even claimed _commit() has no effect on Win32 systems (which is
easily shown to be false just by trying it).
2003-04-23 02:39:17 +00:00
Alex Martelli a70b19147f Adding new built-in function sum, with docs and tests. 2003-04-22 08:12:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 060641d511 Improved the bytecode optimizer.
* Can now test for basic blocks.
* Optimize inverted comparisions.
* Optimize unary_not followed by a conditional jump.
* Added a new opcode, NOP, to keep code size constant.
* Applied NOP to previous transformations where appropriate.

Note, the NOP would not be necessary if other functions were
added to re-target jump addresses and update the co_lnotab mapping.
That would yield slightly faster and cleaner bytecode at the
expense of optimizer simplicity and of keeping it decoupled
from the line-numbering structure.

Martin v. Löwis 153c9e493e Patch #553171: Add writeback parameter. Also add protocol parameter. 2003-04-19 20:59:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aa86e35c52 - bool() called without arguments now returns False rather than
raising an exception.  This is consistent with calling the
  constructors for the other builtin types -- called without argument
  they all return the false value of that type.  (SF patch #724135)
  Thanks to Alex Martelli.
2003-04-19 18:15:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a26854095b - Several methods of nntplib.NNTP have grown an optional file argument
which specifies a file where to divert the command's output
  (already supported by the body() method).  (SF patch #720468)
  Thanks to Terry Carroll.

Martin v. Löwis 2548c730c1 Implement IDNA (Internationalized Domain Names in Applications). 2003-04-18 10:39:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 21d7d4d5ca _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses(): also print the type name. In real use
I'm finding some pretty baffling output, like reprs consisting entirely
of three left parens.  At least this will let us know what type the object
is (it's not str -- there's no quote character in the repr).

New tool combinerefs.py, to combine the two output blocks produced via
PYTHONDUMPREFS.
2003-04-18 00:45:59 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 68d8cef89a Implemented posix-mode parsing support in shlex.py, as dicussed in

Guido van Rossum cf8d285ba3 Changes in support of PEP 269. 2003-04-17 16:53:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c1f6e8cbc1 - The repr() of a weakref object now shows the __name__ attribute of
the referenced object, if it has one.

Also use %p to format pointers consistently, and use <weakproxy ...>
in proxy_repr(), to match the type name.
2003-04-16 21:13:23 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis bfe175c190 For StringVar results to strings. Document that boolean things are of

Walter Dörwald 5688b7ac3e Add two dictionaries to htmlentitydefs: name2codepoint maps
HTML entity names to Unicode codepoints (as integers).
codepoint2name is the reverse mapping. From SF patch #722017.
2003-04-16 09:46:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
2003-04-15 15:12:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8b7a9a38c6 The date class is now properly subclassable. (SF bug #720908)
(This is only the tip of the iceberg; the time and datetime classes
need the same treatment.)
2003-04-14 22:01:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3a3cca5b82 - list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would be
interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the
  list.  This was the only place where such an interpretation was not
  placed on a list index.
2003-04-14 20:58:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 41c99e7f96 SF patch #720991 by Gary Herron:

eliminating recursion on simple uses of pattern '*?' on a
long string.
2003-04-14 17:59:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum efbbb1c602 Patch by Chad Netzer (with significant change):
- range() now works even if the arguments are longs with magnitude
  larger than sys.maxint, as long as the total length of the sequence

Tim Peters f6b8045ca5 Reworked has_finalizer() to use the new _PyObject_Lookup() instead
of PyObject_HasAttr(); the former promises never to execute
arbitrary Python code.  Undid many of the changes recently made to
worm around the worst consequences of that PyObject_HasAttr() could
execute arbitrary Python code.

Compatibility is hard to discuss, because the dangerous cases are
so perverse, and much of this appears to rely on implementation
accidents.

To start with, using hasattr() to check for __del__ wasn't only
dangerous, in some cases it was wrong:  if an instance of an old-
style class didn't have "__del__" in its instance dict or in any
base class dict, but a getattr hook said __del__ existed, then
hasattr() said "yes, this object has a __del__".  But
instance_dealloc() ignores the possibility of getattr hooks when
looking for a __del__, so while object.__del__ succeeds, no
__del__ method is called when the object is deleted.  gc was
therefore incorrect in believing that the object had a finalizer.

The new method doesn't suffer that problem (like instance_dealloc(),
_PyObject_Lookup() doesn't believe __del__ exists in that case), but
does suffer a somewhat opposite-- and even more obscure --oddity:
if an instance of an old-style class doesn't have "__del__" in its
instance dict, and a base class does have "__del__" in its dict,
and the first base class with a "__del__" associates it with a
descriptor (an object with a __get__ method), *and* if that
descriptor raises an exception when __get__ is called, then
(a) the current method believes the instance does have a __del__,
but (b) hasattr() does not believe the instance has a __del__.

While these disagree, I believe the new method is "more correct":
because the descriptor *will* be called when the object is
destructed, it can execute arbitrary Python code at the time the
object is destructed, and that's really what gc means by "has a
finalizer":  not specifically a __del__ method, but more generally
the possibility of executing arbitrary Python code at object
destruction time.  Code in a descriptor's __get__() executed at
destruction time can be just as problematic as code in a
__del__() executed then.

So I believe the new method is better on all counts.

Bugfix candidate, but it's unclear to me how all this differs in
the 2.2 branch (e.g., new-style and old-style classes already
took different gc paths in 2.3 before this last round of patches,
but don't in the 2.2 branch).

Tim Peters 78be7993b6 When Py_TRACE_REFS is defined, a list of all live objects is maintained in

sys.gettotalrefcount() keeps going up but where the reference leaks aren't
accounted for by anything in the list of all objects.

This patch helps a little:  if COUNT_ALLOCS is also defined, from now on
type objects will also appear in this list, provided at least one object
of a type has been allocated.

pack_float, pack_double, save_float:  All the routines for creating
IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored
that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of
1 bits.  At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with
the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor
of 2.  In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits
than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding.

Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2.

In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring.

Just van Rossum 96b1c903f5 Patch #683592 revisited, after discussions with MvL:
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
  will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
  argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
  default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
  os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
  can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
  the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.

This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.

Ken Manheimer e7aca521db Enhanced pdbtrack to provide for source code that's not findable by
the reported path.  (Eg, precompiled scripts with a file path suitable
for a different host, scripts actually running on a remote system or
with no valid path, like Zope through-the-web python scripts.)

On failing to find the code on the reported path, pdbtrack takes the
function name and looks through the buffers, from most to least
recent, seeking the first python-mode buffer that either is named for
the function or has a definition (def or class) for that function.  So
to get source tracking for code that's not located where the path
indicates, you put a copy of the script in a buffer, and pdbtrack will
find it.

Also, fixed a small bug so pdbtrack now properly presents the overlay
arrow when you run the pdb 'w'here command.

Tim Peters 44f14b0399 SF bug 693121: Set == non-Set is a TypeError.
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__.

Tim Peters 07534a607b Comparison for timedelta, time, date and datetime objects: __eq__ and
__ne__ no longer complain if they don't know how to compare to the other
thing.  If no meaningful way to compare is known, saying "not equal" is
sensible.  This allows things like

    if adatetime in some_sequence:
and
    somedict[adatetime] = whatever

to work as expected even if some_sequence contains non-datetime objects,
or somedict non-datetime keys, because they only call __eq__.

It still complains (raises TypeError) for mixed-type comparisons in
contexts that require a total ordering, such as list.sort(), use as a

Jeremy Hylton 985eba53f5 Small function call optimization and special build option for call stats.
-DCALL_PROFILE: Count the number of function calls executed.

When this symbol is defined, the ceval mainloop and helper functions
count the number of function calls made.  It keeps detailed statistics
about what kind of object was called and whether the call hit any of
the special fast paths in the code.

Optimization:

When we take the fast_function() path, which seems to be taken for
most function calls, and there is minimal frame setup to do, avoid
call PyEval_EvalCodeEx().  The eval code ex function does a lot of
work to handle keywords args and star args, free variables,
generators, etc.  The inlined version simply allocates the frame and
copies the arguments values into the frame.

The optimization gets a little help from compile.c which adds a
CO_NOFREE flag to code objects that don't have free variables or cell
variables.  This change allows fast_function() to get into the fast
path with fewer tests.

I measure a couple of percent speedup in pystone with this change, but
there's surely more that can be done.

Tim Peters b57f8f02ba There's no good reason for datetime objects to expose __getstate__()
anymore either, so don't.  This also allows to get rid of obscure code
making __getnewargs__ identical to __getstate__ (hmm ... hope there
wasn't more to this than I realize!).

Tim Peters 506be287aa The various datetime object __setstate__() methods are no longer public
(pickling no longer needs them, and immutable objects shouldn't have
visible __setstate__() methods regardless).  Rearranged the code to
put the internal setstate functions in the constructor sections.
Repaired the timedelta reduce() method, which was still producing
stuff that required a public timedelta.__setstate__() when unpickling.

Tim Peters 8d81a012ef date and datetime comparison: when we don't know how to
compare against "the other" argument, we raise TypeError,
in order to prevent comparison from falling back to the
default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison
by object address.

That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects.  For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.

Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here:  when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.

Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.

the test suite reflect it.  The Python datetime.py implementation and
test suite in the sandbox do match these doc changes.  The C
implementation probably won't catch up before Thursday (Wednesday is
a scheduled "black hole" day this week <0.4 wink>).

Tim Peters 0bf60bd67f Utterly minimal changes to collapse datetimetz into datetime, and timetz
into time.  This is little more than *exporting* the datetimetz object
under the name "datetime", and similarly for timetz.  A good implementation
of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you
don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named
"datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime").  The
docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.
