Brett Cannon d75f043c33 Remove the gopherlib module. It has been raising a DeprecationWarning since
Python 2.5.

Also remove gopher support from urllib/urllib2.  As both imported gopherlib the
usage of the support would have raised a DeprecationWarning.

Gregory P. Smith 90fd76a2b4 Its time to stop listing (Unix, Windows) when we really mean "everything but Mac OS 9"
now that nobody is likely to use Python on Mac OS 9 and most of the (Mac) platform
items are all OS X special API specific since OS X is unixy enough for these modules
to be available out of the box.

2007-03-13 18:15:41 +00:00
Lars Gustäbel c64e40215d This is the implementation of POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format read/write
support.

The TarInfo class now contains all necessary logic to process and
create tar header data which has been moved there from the TarFile
class. The fromtarfile() method was added. The new path and linkpath
properties are aliases for the name and linkname attributes in
correspondence to the pax naming scheme.

The TarFile constructor and classmethods now accept a number of
keyword arguments which could only be set as attributes before (e.g.
dereference, ignore_zeros). The encoding and pax_headers arguments
were added for pax support. There is a new tarinfo keyword argument
that allows using subclassed TarInfo objects in TarFile.

The boolean TarFile.posix attribute is deprecated, because now three
tar formats are supported. Instead, the desired format for writing is
specified using the constants USTAR_FORMAT, GNU_FORMAT and PAX_FORMAT
as the format keyword argument. This change affects TarInfo.tobuf()
as well.

The test suite has been heavily reorganized and partially rewritten.
A new testtar.tar was added that contains sample data in many formats
from 4 different tar programs.

Some bugs and quirks that also have been fixed:
Directory names do no longer have a trailing slash in TarInfo.name or
TarFile.getnames().
Adding the same file twice does not create a hardlink file member.
The TarFile constructor does no longer need a name argument.
The TarFile._mode attribute was renamed to mode and contains either
'r', 'w' or 'a'.

Brett Cannon a30fcb4dae Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource. It's a context manager to
surround calls to resources that may or may not be available.  Specifying the
expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.

This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches.  It would probably
be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

Jeremy Hylton 759410b372 Do not copy free variables to locals in class namespaces.
Fixes bug 1569356, but at the cost of a minor incompatibility in
locals().  Add test that verifies that the class namespace is not
polluted.  Also clarify the behavior in the library docs.

Along the way, cleaned up the dict_to_map and map_to_dict
implementations and added some comments that explain what they do.

Brett Cannon 129bd52146 No more raising of string exceptions!
The next step of PEP 352 (for 2.6) causes raising a string exception to trigger
a TypeError.  Trying to catch a string exception raises a DeprecationWarning.
References to string exceptions has been removed from the docs since they are
now just an error.
