the 2005 Summer of Code).
The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding
and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and
default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message.
The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility.
The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module
and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface
is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing
code.
(The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different
news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)
compatibility classes in the new mailbox.py that I'll be committing in
a few minutes.
One change has been made: the tests use len(mbox) instead of len(mbox.boxes).
The 'boxes' attribute was never documented and contains some internal state
that seems unlikely to have been useful.
Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import
inside the function. As a result, due to Python's
import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows
(directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile)
hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a
side effect of importing a module.
This is a depressingly frequent problem, and
deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for
a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts
for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows,
and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin
with (ntpath needs a different implementation
depending on whether we're actually running on
Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that
is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_
the function).
Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind
get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py
is a convenient place to add tests for them.
and provide a substitute if the import fails, because pyclbr sees the
class definition. Changed to ignore such cases' base classes and methods,
since they will not match.
'python.org' when deciding what server to use for the timeout tests; getting
tired of seeing the test fail on all my boxes ;P This'll still allow the
test to fail for hosts in the XS4ALL network that don't have an 'xs4all'
hostname, so maybe it should use a fallback scheme instead.
exceptions that can't be raised any further, because (for instance) they
occur in __del__ methods. The coroutine tests in test_generators was
triggering this leak. Remove the leakers' testcase, and add a simpler
testcase that explicitly tests this leak to test_generators.
test_generators now no longer leaks at all, on my machine. This fix may also
solve other leaks, but my full refleakhunting run is still busy, so who
knows?
not be tracked by GC. This fixes 254 of test_generators' refleaks on my
machine, but I'm sure something else will make them come back :>
Not adding a separate test for this kind of cycle, since the existing
fib/m235 already test them in more extensive ways than any 'minimal' test
has been able to manage.
examples no longer require any explicit closing to avoid
leaking.
That the tee-based examples still do is (I think) still a
mystery. Part of the mystery is that gc.garbage remains
empty: if it were the case that some generator in a trash
cycle said it needed finalization, suppressing collection
of that cycle, that generator _would_ show up in gc.garbage.
So this is acting more like, e.g., some tp_traverse slot
isn't visiting all the pointers it should (in which case
the skipped pointer(s) would act like an external root,
silently suppressing collection of everything reachable
from it(them)).
problems: first, PyGen_NeedsFinalizing() had an off-by-one bug that
prevented it from ever saying a generator didn't need finalizing, and
second, frame objects cleared themselves in a way that caused their
owning generator to think they were still executable, causing a double
deallocation of objects on the value stack if there was still a loop
on the block stack. This revision also removes some unnecessary
close() operations from test_generators that are now appropriately
handled by the cycle collector.
an incremental encoder that must retain part of the data between calls
to the encode() method.
Fix the incremental encoder and decoder for the IDNA encoding.
This closes SF patch #1453235.
The test case came from test_generators, not test_itertools.
Ensure there's no cyclic garbage we are counting.
This is weird because it leaks, then reaches a limit:
python.exe -i test_tee.py
>>> leak()
0
[26633 refs]
>>> leak()
0
[26658 refs]
>>> leak()
0
[26683 refs]
>>> leak()
0
[26708 refs]
>>> leak()
0
[26708 refs]
>>> leak()
0
[26708 refs]
>>> leak()
0
appear. Get rid of them by nuking doctest's default DocTestRunner
instance as part of cleanup(). Also cleanup() before running the
first test repetition (the test was run once before we get into
the -R branch).
This may be causing the debian sparc buildbot to fail.
Print a little message to let the user ^w buildbot know it's still thinking.
We may want to adjust the time period which is currently 5 minutes.
Will backport.
prepends the exception's module name to non-builtin exceptions, like
the interpreter itself does.
broke a number of doctests. should be discussed before checking in (see
discussion on python-dev).
bsddb.*open() methods cachesize parameter wouldn't work (raised an
internal bsddb.db exception when it was given). The set_cachesize
call needed to be moved from the DB object to the DBEnv since the env
was introduced to allow for threading.
(will backport to 2.4)
Using None for a filename with the 'n' flag when calling bsddb.btopen
would cause an error while checking if the file None existed. error
not likely to be seen as anyone using None for a filename would likely
use the 'c' flag in the first place.
tests. Alas, because only the "x86 OpenBSD trunk" buildbot fails
these tests, and test_descr stops after the first failure, there's
no sane way for me to fix these short of fixing one and then
waiting for the buildbot to reveal the next one.
