PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
457466: popenx() argument mangling hangs python
226766: popen('python -c"...."') tends to hang
Fixes argument quoting in w9xpopen.exe for Windows 9x. w9xpopen.exe
also never attempts to display a MessageBox when not executed
interactively.
Added test_popen() test. This test currently just executes
"python -c ..." as a child process, and checks that the expected
arguments were all recieved correctly by the child process. This
test succeeds for me on Win9x, win2k and Linux, and I hope it does
for other popen supported platforms too :)
I really can't test this, but from reading the discussion in that bug
report, it's likely that this works. It may also close a whole bunch
of other bug reports related to urllib and proxies on Windows, but who
knows.
Walter Doerwald provided a patch, which I've modified in two ways:
1) (Uncontroversial) Removed code to make module work in earlier versions of
Python without the unicode() built-in
2) (Poss. controversial) Instead of making string.zfill take the repr()
of non-string objects, take the str().
Should a warning be added to this branch of the code so that the automatic
str() can be deprecated?
2.2.2 bugfix candidate, assuming the repr()->str() change is deemed OK.
It appears that getcomments() can get called for classes defined in
C. Since these don't have source code, it can't do anything useful.
A function buried many levels deep was raising a TypeError that was
not caught.
Who knows why this broke...
better local_hostname default. According to RFC 2821, it is
recommended that the fqdn hostname be provided in the EHLO/HELO verb
and if that can't be calculated, to use a domain literal.
The rationale for this change is documented in SF patch #497736 which
also had privacy concerns about leaking the fqdn in the EHLO/HELO. We
decided this wasn't a big concern because no user data is leaked, and
the IP will always be leaked. The local_hostname argument is provided
for those clients that are super paranoid.
Using localhost.localdomain may break some strict smtp servers so we
decided against using it as the default.
This fixes the symptom, but PRINT_ITEM has no way to know what (if
anything) PyFile_WriteObject() writes unless the object being printed
is a string. When the object isn't a string, this fix retains the
guess that softspace should be set after PyFile_WriteObject().
We might want to say that it's the job of filelike-object write methods
to leave the file's softspace in the correct state. That would probably
be better -- but everyone relies on PRINT_ITEM to guess for them now.
One more time on this turkey, but duller instead of cleverer.
Curious: The docs say __getslice__ has been deprecated since 2.0, but
list.__getitem__ still doesn't work if you pass it a slice. This makes
it a lot clearer to emulate a list by *being* a list <wink>.
Bugfix candidate. Michael, just pile this patch on top of the others
that went by -- no need to try to pick these apart.
* 'macdef' (macro definition) wasn't parsed correctly
* account value not reset for a subsequent 'default' line
* typo: 'whitepace' -> 'whitespace'
Bugfix candidate.
This patch makes it possible to pass Warning instances as the first
argument to warnings.warn. In this case the category argument
will be ignored. The message text used will be str(warninginstance).
FakeSocket class. Without it, the sendall() call got the method on
the underlying socket object, and that messed up SSL.
Does httplib use other methods of sockets that FakeSocket doesn't support?
Someone should take a look... (I'll try to give it a once-over.)
2.2.1 bugfix candidate.
The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps
later.
I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.
I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.
(as it is often not on Windows). The code was always designed so that it
would raise an IOError if there was no .netrc. But if there was no $HOME
it would return a KeyError which would be somewhat unexpected for code
that didn't know the algorithm it used to find .netrc. The particular
code that triggered this problem for me was ftpmirror.py which handled
the IOError gracefully, but not the KeyError.
particular, negative indexes work and they are limited by the actual length
of the names they represent (weekday and month names). This closes bug
#503202.
As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__. This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.
Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.
Beef up the file.truncate() docs.
Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone. Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.
libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.
test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.
CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The
truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.
Adapter from SF patch 528038; fixes SF bug 527816.
The wrapper for __nonzero__ should be wrap_inquiry rather than
wrap_unaryfunc, since the slot returns an int, not a PyObject *.
In August, Greg said this looked good, so I'm going ahead with it.
The fix is different from the one in the bug report. Instead of using
a regular expression to extract the host from the url, I use
urlparse.urlsplit.
Martin commented that the patch doesn't address URLs that have basic
authentication username and password in the header. I don't see any
code anywhere in httplib that supports this feature, so I'm not going
to address it for this fix.
Bug fix candidate.
asyncore.poll, the select fails with EINTR, which the
code catches. However, the code fails to clear the
r/w/e arrays (like poll3 does), which means it acts as
if every descriptor had received all possible events.
Bug report and patch by Cesar Eduardo Barros
mmap_find_method(): this obtained the string to find via s#, but it
ignored its length, acting as if it were \0-terminated instead.
Someone please run on Linux too (the extended test_mmap works on Windows).
Bugfix candidate.
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on. Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.
This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.
rexec.
When using a restricted environment, imports of copy will fail with an
AttributeError when trying to access types.CodeType.
Bugfix candidate (all the way back to 1.5.3, but at least 2.1.3 and
2.2.1).
- Use substring search, not re search for user-agent and paths.
- Consider * entry last. Unquote, then requote URLs.
- Treat empty Disallow as "allow everything".
Add test cases. Fixes#523041
There were never tests for the fact that list() always returns a *new*
list object, even when the argument is a list, while tuple() may
return a reference to the argument when it is a tuple. Now there are.
Windows: apply normcase() as well as abspath(). (Note: this isn't
needed to make IDLE work, but it's a good idea anyway.)
Bugfix candidate -- both 2.2.1 and 2.1.3.
--install-script ... command line option to bdist_wininst) at the end
of the installation and at the start of deinstallation. Output
(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last
screen at installation, or in a simple message box at deinstallation.
sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.
The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the
bdist_wininst runtime) where an additional function is available as
builtin:
create_shortcut(path, description, filename,

Recreated this file after source changes.
SSL support. test_socket.py passes again on Windows.
Added an XXX about adding _ssl exports to the __all__ list (it doesn't
appear to be doing anything about that now, but since I don't have SSL
on this box I can't really tell).
helper module _ssl.
The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled
for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that
release.
Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* --
unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file.
Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file
chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine
and compiles don't give errors or warnings.
WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various
non-Unix build process files.
Fix exit races in test_thread.py and test_threaded_import.py.
I suspect the bug is provokable only under Linux (where child threads
seem to get lots of cycles before they get killed after the main thread
exits), or on multi-processor machines running other OSes.
Bugfix candidate.
Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.
installations are present, by always unlinking the destination file
before copying to it. Without the unlink(), the copied file remains
owned by its previous UID, causing the subsequent chmod() to fail.
Bugfix candidate, though it may cause changes on platforms where
file ownership behaves differently.
contain the type of the file (regular file, socket, link, &c.).
This means that install_scripts will now print
"changing mode of <file> to 775" instead of "... to 100775".
2.2 bugfix candidate, I suppose, though this isn't actually fixing a bug.
TemproraryFileWrapper wrapper anymore, and should be immune from the
problem that a temp file inherited by a spawned process caused an
attempt to close the temp file in the spawning process to blow
up (the unlink in TemporaryFileWrapper.close() blew up with a
"Permission denied" error because, despite that the temp file got
closed in the spawning process, the spawned process still had it open
by virtue of C-level file descriptor inheritance). In context,
that bug took days to figure out <wink/sigh>.
This is an ancient race when multiple threads call gettempdir() (or
anything relying on it) for the first time.
Fixed x-platform via the Big Hammer of rearranging the code to serialize
the first calls. Subsequent calls are as fast as before.
Note that the Python test suite can't provoke this bug: it requires
setting up multiple threads making the very first calls into tempfile,
but the test suite uses tempfile several times before getting to
test_threadedtempfile.
Bugfix candidate.
present - at least the swigged file should be named <name>_wrap.c as
this is also SWIG's default. (Even better would be to generate the
wrapped sources in a different location, but I'll leave this for
later).
Newer versions of SWIG don't accept the -dnone flag any more.
Since virtually nobody uses SWIG with distutils, this should do no
harm.
