inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.
When a node number disagrees, keep track of all sources & the
node numbers they reported, and stick all that in the error message.
Changed all callers to supply a non-empty "source" argument; made
the "source" argument non-optional.
On my box, test_uuid still fails, but with the less confusing output:
AssertionError: different sources disagree on node:
from source 'getnode1', node was 00038a000015
from source 'getnode2', node was 00038a000015
from source 'ipconfig', node was 001111b2b7bf
Only the last one appears to be correct; e.g.,
C:\Code\python\PCbuild>getmac

I can't find anything on my box with MAC 00-03-8a-00-00-15, and am
not clear on where that comes from.
Fix the DllGetClassObject and DllCanUnloadNow so that they forward the
call to the comtypes.server.inprocserver module.
The latter was never documented, never used by published code, and
didn't work anyway, so I think it does not deserve a NEWS entry (but I
might be wrong).
to kill a cygwin instance. build\\python.exe was matching a normal windows
instance. Prefix that with a \\ to ensure build is a directory and not
PCbuild. As discussed on python-dev.
In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when
an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol()
did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed
longs. Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now,
and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then.
Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me
that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN
and/or LONG_MAX now. For that reason, I don't recommend backporting
this.
Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference --
can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything
on my boxes.
Silent change: PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff
in case of overflow. Now it returns LONG_MAX. They're the same only on
32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).
it into email 4.0. Specifically, in Message.get_content_charset(), handle RFC
2231 headers that contain an encoding not known to Python, or a character in
the data that isn't in the charset encoding. Also forward port the
appropriate unit tests.
This adds a new key definition for OSX, which is slightly different from the
classic mac definition.
Also add NEWS item for a couple of bugfixes I added recently.
without causing problems for anyone that is on a case-insensitive filesystem).
Setup.py tries to compile the MacOS extension from MacOSmodule.c, while the
actual file is named macosmodule.c. This is no problem on the (default)
case-insensitive filesystem, but doesn't work on case-sensitive filesystems.
