In partial answer to the now-deleted XXX comment:
/* XXX(twouters) Why use 'et#' here at all? insize isn't used */
`insize` is an input parameter too, and it was left uninitialized,
leading to seemingly random failures.
non-32bit platforms. Will still only allow 32 bits in a timestamp on Win64,
but at least it won't crash, and it'll work right on platforms where longs
are big enough to contain time_t's.
(A better-working, although conceptually less-right fix would have been to
use Py_ssize_t here, but Martin and Tim won't let me.)
- New semantics for __exit__() -- it must re-raise the exception
if type is not None; the with-statement itself doesn't do this.
(See the updated PEP for motivation.)
- Added context managers to:
- file
- thread.LockType
- threading.{Lock,RLock,Condition,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore}
- decimal.Context
- Added contextlib.py, which defines @contextmanager, nested(), closing().
- Unit tests all around; bot no docs yet.
- IMPORT_NAME takes an extra argument from the stack: the relativeness of
the import. Only passed to __import__ when it's not -1.
- __import__() takes an optional 5th argument for the same thing; it
__defaults to -1 (old semantics: try relative, then absolute)
- 'from . import name' imports name (be it module or regular attribute)
from the current module's *package*. Likewise, 'from .module import name'
will import name from a sibling to the current module.
- Importing from outside a package is not allowed; 'from . import sys' in a
toplevel module will not work, nor will 'from .. import sys' in a
(single-level) package.
- 'from __future__ import absolute_import' will turn on the new semantics
for import and from-import: imports will be absolute, except for
from-import with dots.
Includes tests for regular imports and importhooks, parser changes and a
NEWS item, but no compiler-package changes or documentation changes.
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
On a box where sizeof(size_t) == 4, C doesn't define
what happens when a size_t value is shifted right by
32 bits, and this caused test_mmap to fail on Windows
in a debug build. So use different code to break
the size apart depending on how large size_t actually
is.
This looks like an illusion, since lots of code in this
module still appears to assume sizes can't be more
than 32 bits (e.g., the internal _GetMapSize() still
returns an int), but at least test_mmap passes again.
has been applied fairly arbitrarily in this module (nsmallest uses
Py_ssize_t, nlargest does not) and it probably deserves a more complete
review. Fixes heapq.nsmallest() always returning the empty list (on
platforms with 64-bit ssize_t/long)

History in svn repo: http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/misc/lsprof
* Module/_lsprof.c is the internal C module, Lib/cProfile.py a wrapper.
* pstats.py updated to display cProfile's caller/callee timings if available.
* setup.py and NEWS updated.
* documentation updates in the profiler section:
- explain the differences between the three profilers that we have now
- profile and cProfile can use a unified documentation, like (c)Pickle
- mention that hotshot is "for specialized usage" now
- removed references to the "old profiler" that no longer exists
* test updates:
- extended test_profile to cover delicate cases like recursion
- added tests for the caller/callee displays
- added test_cProfile, performing the same tests for cProfile
* TO-DO:
- cProfile gives a nicer name to built-in, particularly built-in methods,
which could be backported to profile.
- not tested on Windows recently!
is larger than FD_SETSIZE.
This can only be acheived with ulimit -n SOME_NUMBER_BIGGER_THAN_FD_SETSIZE
which is typically only available to root. Since this wouldn't normally
be run in a test (ie, run as root), it doesn't seem too worthwhile to
add a normal test. The bug report has one version of a test. I've
written another. Not sure what the best thing to do is.
Do the check before calling internal_select() because we can't set
an error in between Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS.
This seemed the clearest solution, ie handle before calling internal_select()
rather than inside. Plus there is at least one place outside
of internal_select() that needed to be handled.
Will backport.
on both Unix (SVR4 and BSD) and Windows. Restores behaviour of passing -1
for anonymous memory on Unix. Use MAP_ANONYMOUS instead of _ANON since
the latter is deprecated according to Linux (gentoo) man pages.
Should we continue to allow mmap.mmap(0, length) to work on Windows?
0 is a valid fd.
Will backport bugfix portions.
loses information:
OverflowError: regular expression code size limit exceeded
Otherwise the compiled code is gibberish, possibly leading at
least to wrong results or (as reported on c.l.py) internal
sre errors at match time.
I'm not sure how to test this. SRE_CODE is a 2-byte type on
my box, and it's easy to create a regexp that causes the new
exception to trigger here. But it may be a 4-byte type on
other boxes, and creating a regexp large enough to trigger
problems there would be pretty crazy.
Bugfix candidate.
cast first PyUnicode_Decode argument to proper type (why is
"char *" used for encoded byte streams, btw? shouldn't that
be "void *" or, if necessary, "unsigned char *"?)
Subversion revision number.
First, in an svn export, there will be no .svn directory, so use an in-file
$Revision$ keyword string with the keyword chrome stripped off.
Also, use $(srcdir) in the Makefile.pre.in to handle the case where Python is
build outside the source tree.
