deque_item(): a performance bug: the linked list of blocks was followed
from the left in most cases, because the test (i < (deque->len >> 1)) was
after "i %= BLOCKLEN".
deque_clear(): replaced a call to deque_len() with deque->len; not sure what
this call was here for, nor if all compilers under the sun would inline it.
deque_traverse(): I belive that it could be called by the GC when the deque
has leftblock==rightblock==NULL, because it is tracked before the first block
is allocated (though closely before). Still, a C extension module subclassing
deque could provide its own tp_alloc that could trigger a GC collection after
the PyObject_GC_Track()...
deque_richcompare(): rewrote to cleanly check for end-of-iterations instead of
relying on deque.__iter__().next() to succeed exactly len(deque) times -- an
assumption which can break if deques are subclassed. Added a test.
I wonder if the length should be explicitely bounded to INT_MAX, with
OverflowErrors, as in listobject.c. On 64-bit machines, adding more than
INT_MAX in the deque will result in trouble. (Note to anyone/me fixing
this: carefully check for overflows if len is close to INT_MAX in the
following functions: deque_rotate(), deque_item(), deque_ass_item())
The previous approach was too easily fooled (a rotate() sufficed).
* Use it->counter to determine when iteration is complete. The
previous approach was too complex.
* Strengthen an assertion and add a comment here or there.
* Change the centering by one to make it possible to test the module
with BLOCKLEN's as low as two. Testing small blocks makes end-point
errors surface more readily.
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
Several functions adopted the strategy of altering a full lengthed
string copy and resizing afterwards. That would fail if the initial
string was short enough (0 or 1) to be interned. Interning precluded
the subsequent resizing operation.
The solution was to make sure the initial string was at least two
characters long.
Added tests to verify that all binascii functions do not crater when
given an empty string argument.
truncate() left the stream position unchanged, which meant the
"truncated" data didn't go away:
>>> io.write('abc')
>>> io.truncate(0)
>>> io.write('xyz')
>>> io.getvalue()
'abcxyz'

[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order
From the description:
Changes in this patch:
- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.
- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers
- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)
- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)
and the comment:
Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html)
(I'm checking this in for Anthony who was having problems getting SF to
talk to him)
That's the title of the report, but the hole was probably plugged since
Python 2.0. See corresponding checkin to PC/getpathp.c: a crucial
precondition for joinpath() was neither documented nor verified, and there
are so many callers with so many conditional paths that no "eyeball
analysis" is satisfactory. Now Python dies with a fatal error if the
precondition isn't satisfied, instead of allowing a buffer overrun.
NOT TESTED! The Windows version of the patch was, but not this one. I
don't feel like waiting for someone to notice the patch I attached to the
bug report. If it doesn't compile, sorry, but fix it <wink>. If it
does compile, it's "obviously correct".
unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1
return w
discussed recently in python-dev:
In _locale module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding
In gettext module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
which return translated strings encoded in
preferred system encoding, if
bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
function and catalog classes.
Every change was also documented.
and installed layouts to make maintenance simple and easy. And it
also adds four new codecs; big5hkscs, euc-jis-2004, shift-jis-2004
and iso2022-jp-2004.
incorrect declaration for ypall_callback in /usr/include/rpcsvc/ypcInt.h .
Shouldn't hurt any code since the differences are unsigned long instead of int and
void * instead of char *. Removes warning about improper function pointer
assignment during compilation.
[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads
although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
other
- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
and __init__ methods
- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
dictionary could be avoided without this change)
- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added
- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref
This closes SF patch #983019.
Fix memory leaks revealed by valgrind and ensuing code inspection.
In the existing test suite valgrind revealed two memory leaks (DB_get
and DBC_set_range). Code inspection revealed that there were many other
potential similar leaks (many on odd code error paths such as passing
something other than a DBTxn object for a txn= parameter or in the face
of an out of memory error). The most common case that would cause a
leak was when using recno or queue format databases with integer keys,
sometimes only with an exception exit.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.
If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.
New include file timefuncs.h exports private API function
_PyTime_DoubleToTimet() from timemodule.c. timemodule should export
some other functions too (look for painful bits in datetimemodule.c).
Added insane-argument checking to datetime's assorted fromtimestamp()
and utcfromtimestamp() methods. Added insane-argument tests of these
to test_datetime, and insane-argument tests for ctime(), localtime()
and gmtime() to test_time.
more than a second of precision. Primarily affects ctime, localtime, and
gmtime.
Closes bug #919012 thanks to Tim Peters' code.
Tim suggests that the new funciton being introduced, _PyTime_DoubletoTimet(),
should be added to the internal C API and then used in datetime where
appropriate. Not being done now for lack of time.
Beardsley.
If the seconds are different, we still need to calculate the differences
between milliseconds.
Also, on a Gentoo Linux (2.6.5) dual Athlon MP box with glibc 2.3,
time can go backwards. This probably happens when the process switches
the CPU it's running on. Time can also go backwards when running NTP.
If we detect a negative time delta (ie, time went backwards), return
a delta of 0. This prevents an illegal array access elsewhere.
I think it's safest to *not* update prev_timeofday in this case, so we
return without updating.
Backport candidate.
This fixes the problem and the test passes. I'm not sure
the test is really correct though. It seems like it would
be better to raise an exception. I think that wasn't done
for backwards compatability.
Bugfix candidate.
#!-scripts, only the filename part, and this can lead to incorrect
initialization of sys.path and sys.executable if there is another python
on $PATH before the one used in #!.
The fix was picked up from the darwinports crowd, thanks!
Added setbdaddr and makebdaddr.
Extended makesockaddr to understand Bluetooth addresses.
Changed getsockaddr to expect the Bluetooth addresses as a string,
not a six element tuple.
Reformatted some of the Bluetooth code to be more consistent with PEP 7.
