Docs still need some updating to make getopt and optparse match the wording promised in the PEP.
There are also probably a number of :class:ArgumentParser etc. links that could be added to the argparse documentation.
MutableMapping, and thereby lost functionality because the replacement
functionality was implemented incorrectly or incompletely). Since bsddb
isn't in py3k, this patch just goes back to using DictMixin in order to
correct the regression.
Noted by Joseph Armbruster; patch by Jessica McKellar.
The original code was 'for (;;) {...}', where ... ended
with a 'return -2' statement and did not contain a 'break' or 'continue'
statement. Therefore, the body of the loop is always executed once.
Once upon a time there was a 'continue' in the loop, but it was removed in
rev36346, committed by mwh on Wed Jul 7 17:44:12 2004.
message/rfc822 it turns it into an object whose body consists of
a list containing a single Message object. HeaderParser, on the
other hand, just copies the body as a string. Generator.flatten
has a special handler for the message mime type that expected the
body to be the one item list. This fails if the message was parsed
by HeaderParser. So we now check to see if the body is a string
first, and if so just we just emit it.
of the 'canonical' and 'is_canonical' methods) now consistently accept
integer arguments wherever a Decimal instance is accepted. Thanks
Juan José Conti for the patch.
writeback=True values are written to the backing store when assigned to
the shelf. Add test to confirm that this happens. Doc patch and added
test by Robert Lehmann. I also fixed the cross references to the sync
and close methods.
close method refers to an identifier in the global module namespace.
This means that when __del__ is called during interpreter shutdown (if,
for example, the calling program still has a pointer to the shelf),
sometimes that global identifier would wind up being None, causing
mysterious 'ignored' exceptions. This patch checks for the possible None
value first before using the global, thus avoiding the error messages.
in XML processing instructions and comments. These raw characters are
allowed by the XML specification, and are necessary when outputting e.g.
PHP code in a processing instruction. Patch by Neil Muller.
and read operations on write-only file objects. On Windows, the system C
library would return a bogus result; on Solaris, it was possible to crash
the interpreter. Patch by Stefan Krah.
In Python 2.x, exceptions in finally blocks are not normalized. Since with
statements are implemented using finally blocks, ceval.c had to be tweaked to
distinguish between with finally blocks and normal ones.
A test for the finalization of generators containing with statements was also
added.
