to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an effort to
facilitate running multiple instances of the entire regression test suite
in parallel without issue. test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such
that it will always return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case
with the previous implementation, especially if socket options had been
set that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT). The
new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception if it
is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the SO_REUSEADDR or
SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if available, bind_port()
will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on the socket it's been passed.
This currently only applies to Windows. This option prevents any other
sockets from binding to the host/port we've bound to, thus removing the
possibility of the 'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it,
that occurs when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a
host/port that's already been bound by another socket. The optional
preferred port parameter to bind_port() has been removed. Under no
circumstances should tests be hard coding ports!
test_support.find_unused_port() has also been introduced, which will pass
a temporary socket object to bind_port() in order to obtain an unused port.
The temporary socket object is then closed and deleted, and the port is
returned. This method should only be used for obtaining an unused port
in order to pass to an external program (i.e. the -accept [port] argument
to openssl's s_server mode) or as a parameter to a server-oriented class
that doesn't give you direct access to the underlying socket used.
Finally, test_support.HOST has been introduced, which should be used for
the host argument of any relevant socket calls (i.e. bind and connect).
The following tests were updated to following the new conventions:
test_socket, test_smtplib, test_asyncore, test_ssl, test_httplib,
test_poplib, test_ftplib, test_telnetlib, test_socketserver,
test_asynchat and test_socket_ssl.
It is now possible for multiple instances of the regression test suite to
run in parallel without issue.
close() will now raise an IOError if any operations on the file object
are currently in progress in other threads.
Most code was written by Antoine Pitrou (pitrou). Additional testing,
documentation and test suite cleanup done by me (gregory.p.smith).
Fixes issue 815646 and 595601 (as well as many other bugs and
references to this problem dating back to the dawn of Python).
calls threading.currentThread.
The correction somewhat improves the code, but it was close.
Many thanks to the "with" construct, which turns python code into C calls.
I wonder if it is not better to sys.settrace(None) just after
running the __main__ module and before finalization.
The new PyParser_*Ex() functions are based on Neal's suggestion and initial patch. The new __future__ feature makes all '' and r'' unicode strings. b'' and br'' stay (byte) strings.
The patch adds wrappers for the Linux epoll syscalls and the BSD kqueue syscalls. Thanks to Thomas Herve and the Twisted people for their support and help.
TODO: Finish documentation documentation
This work is substantially Anthony Baxter's, from issue
1633807. I just freshened it, made a few minor tweaks,
and added the test cases. I also created issue 2412,
which is to check for 2to3's behavior with the print
function. I also added myself to ACKS.
regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.
This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.
Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6
-no-cpp-precomp, and -mno-fused-madd from configure.
* r22183 added -no-cpp-precomp, which
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-12/msg00368.html claims hasn't been
needed since gcc-3.1.
* r25607 added -Wno-long-double to avoid a warning in
Include/objimpl.h (issue 525481). The long double is still there,
but OSX 10.4's gcc no longer warns about it.
* r33666 fixed issue 775892 on OSX 10.3 by adding -mno-fused-madd,
which changed the sign of some float 0s. Tim Peters said it wasn't
a real issue anyway, and it no longer causes test failures.
Fixes issue #1779871.
assert (0, 'message')
An empty tuple does not create a warning. While questionable usage:
assert (), 'message'
should not display a warning. Tested manually.
The warning message could be improved. Feel free to update it.
across platforms: it should now raise OverflowError on all
platforms. (Previously it raised OverflowError only on
non IEEE 754 platforms.)
Also fix the (already existing) test for this behaviour
so that it actually raises TestFailed instead of just
referencing it.
SocketServers. The core of the patch was written by Pedro Werneck, but any bugs
are mine. I've also rearranged the code for timeouts in order to avoid
interfering with the shutdown poll.

callable() from copy_reg.py, so the interpreter now starts up
without warnings when '-3' is given. More work like this needs to
be done in the rest of the stdlib.
Added Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULES macro to set WINVER and NTDDI_VERSION to Windows 2000 for core modules, too
Added -d option to build.bat (same as -c Debug) and fixed warning about /build option
Updated Windows related readme.txt files
in Object/ are named ``free_list``, the counter ``numfree`` and the upper
limit is a macro ``PyName_MAXFREELIST`` inside an #ifndef block.
The chances should make it easier to adjust Python for platforms with
less memory, e.g. mobile phones.
* Convert both to unittest.
* Use the same unit testing code.
* Include the expected output in both test files.
* Make it possible to regenerate the expected output by running
the file as a script with an '-r' argument.
The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain
an entry for the beginning of the loop.
Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger:
in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries.
However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only
one 'line' event.
The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache
Add PyFrozenSet_Check(), which was not needed before; The list of Py*Set_Check* macros seems to be complete now.
Add missing NEWS entries about all this.
