The zipfile module now does all I/O in binary mode using bytes.
(Maybe we should support wrapping a TextIOWrapper around it
when text mode reading is requested?)
Even the password is a bytes array now.
Had to fix py_compile.py to use bytes while I was at it.
The _struct needed a patch to support bytes, str8 and str
for the 's' and 'p' formats.
recv()) now return bytes, not str or str8. The socket.py code is
redone; it now subclasses _socket.socket and instead of having its own
_fileobject for makefile(), it uses io.SocketIO. Some stuff in io.py
was moved around to make this work. (I really need to rethink my
policy regarding readline() and read(-1) on raw files; and readline()
on buffered files ought to use peeking(). Later.)
the result of a call to PyObject_Repr() into the string. This makes
it possible to simplify many repr implementations.
PyUnicode_FromFormat() uses two steps to create the final string: A first
pass through the format string determines the size of the final string and
a second pass creates the string. To avoid calling PyObject_Repr() twice
for each %R specifier, PyObject_Repr() is called during the size
calculation step and the results are stored in an array (whose size is
determined at the start by counting %R specifiers).
PyString_Concat() and PyString_ConcatAndDel() (the name PyUnicode_Concat()
was already taken).
Change PyObject_Repr() to always return a unicode object.
Update all repr implementations to return unicode objects.
Add a function PyObject_ReprStr8() that calls PyObject_Repr() and converts
the result to an 8bit string.
Use PyObject_ReprStr8() where using PyObject_Repr() can't be done
straightforward.
to PyObject_CallFunction()) that take a char * (and a size
in the case of 'U#') and create a unicode object out of it.
Add functions PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyUnicode_FromFormatV()
that work similar to PyString_FromFormat(), but create a unicode
object (also a %U format character has been added, that takes
a PyObject *, which must point to a unicode object).
Change the encoding and reason attributes of UnicodeEncodeError,
UnicodeDecodeError and UnicodeTranslateError to be unicode
objects.
Changes to io.py, necessary to make this work:
- Redid io.StringIO as a TextIOWrapper on top of a BytesIO instance.
- Got rid of _MemoryIOMixin, folding it into BytesIO instead.
- The read() functions that take -1 to mean "eveything" now also take None.
- Added readline() support to BufferedIOBase. :-(
encoding) which makes the buffer mutable. Strings are encoded on the way in
and decoded on the way out.
Use io.StringIO in test_codecs.py.
Fix the base64_codec test in test_codecs.py.
