was done because we were previously performing validation of the dialect
from python, but this is now down within the C module. Also, the method
we were using to detect classes did not work with new-style classes.
regrtest.py: skip rgbimg and imageop as they are not built on 64-bit systems.
_tkinter.c: replace %.8x with %p for printing pointers.
setup.py: add lib64 into the library directories.
memset() wrote one past the end of the buffer, which was likely to be unused padding or a yet-to-be-initialized local variable. This routine is already tested by test_socket.
nothing in gc currently cares, the original coding could screw up if,
e.g., you tried to move a node to the list it's already in, and the node
was already the last in its list.
Introduced gc_list_move(), which captures the common gc_list_remove() +
gc_list_append() sequence. In fact, no uses of gc_list_append() remained
(they were all in a gc_list_move() sequence), so commented that one out.
gc_list_merge(): assert that `from` != `to`; that was an implicit
precondition, now verified in a debug build.
Others: added comments about their purpose.
In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
deque_item(): a performance bug: the linked list of blocks was followed
from the left in most cases, because the test (i < (deque->len >> 1)) was
after "i %= BLOCKLEN".
deque_clear(): replaced a call to deque_len() with deque->len; not sure what
this call was here for, nor if all compilers under the sun would inline it.
deque_traverse(): I belive that it could be called by the GC when the deque
has leftblock==rightblock==NULL, because it is tracked before the first block
is allocated (though closely before). Still, a C extension module subclassing
deque could provide its own tp_alloc that could trigger a GC collection after
the PyObject_GC_Track()...
deque_richcompare(): rewrote to cleanly check for end-of-iterations instead of
relying on deque.__iter__().next() to succeed exactly len(deque) times -- an
assumption which can break if deques are subclassed. Added a test.
I wonder if the length should be explicitely bounded to INT_MAX, with
OverflowErrors, as in listobject.c. On 64-bit machines, adding more than
INT_MAX in the deque will result in trouble. (Note to anyone/me fixing
this: carefully check for overflows if len is close to INT_MAX in the
following functions: deque_rotate(), deque_item(), deque_ass_item())
The previous approach was too easily fooled (a rotate() sufficed).
* Use it->counter to determine when iteration is complete. The
previous approach was too complex.
* Strengthen an assertion and add a comment here or there.
* Change the centering by one to make it possible to test the module
with BLOCKLEN's as low as two. Testing small blocks makes end-point
errors surface more readily.
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
Several functions adopted the strategy of altering a full lengthed
string copy and resizing afterwards. That would fail if the initial
string was short enough (0 or 1) to be interned. Interning precluded
the subsequent resizing operation.
The solution was to make sure the initial string was at least two
characters long.
Added tests to verify that all binascii functions do not crater when
given an empty string argument.
truncate() left the stream position unchanged, which meant the
"truncated" data didn't go away:
>>> io.write('abc')
>>> io.truncate(0)
>>> io.write('xyz')
>>> io.getvalue()
'abcxyz'

[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order
From the description:
Changes in this patch:
- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.
- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers
- Add better order of evaluation check

Used Brett's evaluation order (see

That's the title of the report, but the hole was probably plugged since
Python 2.0. See corresponding checkin to PC/getpathp.c: a crucial
precondition for joinpath() was neither documented nor verified, and there
are so many callers with so many conditional paths that no "eyeball
analysis" is satisfactory. Now Python dies with a fatal error if the
precondition isn't satisfied, instead of allowing a buffer overrun.
NOT TESTED! The Windows version of the patch was, but not this one. I
don't feel like waiting for someone to notice the patch I attached to the

- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each

- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
dictionary could be avoided without this change)
- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added
- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref
This closes SF patch #983019.
Fix memory leaks revealed by valgrind and ensuing code inspection.
In the existing test suite valgrind revealed two memory leaks (DB_get
and DBC_set_range). Code inspection revealed that there were many other
potential similar leaks (many on odd code error paths such as passing
something other than a DBTxn object for a txn= parameter or in the face
of an out of memory error). The most common case that would cause a
leak was when using recno or queue format databases with integer keys,
sometimes only with an exception exit.

If the seconds are different, we still need to calculate the differences

Also, on a Gentoo Linux (2.6.5) dual Athlon MP box with glibc 2.3,
time can go backwards. This probably happens when the process switches
the CPU it's running on. Time can also go backwards when running NTP.
If we detect a negative time delta (ie, time went backwards), return
a delta of 0. This prevents an illegal array access elsewhere.
I think it's safest to *not* update prev_timeofday in this case, so we
return without updating.

as "This is the same format as used by gl.lrectwrite() and the imgfile
module." This implies a certain byte order in multi-byte pixel
formats. However, the code was originally written on an SGI
(big-endian) and *uses* the fact that bytes are stored in a particular
order in ints. This means that the code uses and produces different
byte order on little-endian systems.
This fix adds a module-level flag "backward_compatible" (default not

The trace function must be called for exceptions, too. So we had

stack usage on FreeBSD, requiring the recursion limit to be lowered

The underlying issue is that FreeBSD's pthreads implementation has a
hard-coded 1MB stack size for the initial (or "primary") thread, which
can not be changed without rebuilding libc_r. Exhausting this stack
results in a bus error.
Building without pthreads (configure --without-threads), or linking
with the port of the Linux pthreads library (aka Linuxthreads) instead
of libc_r, avoids this limitation.
On OS/2, only gcc 3.2 is affected and the stack size is controllable,

- Cleaned up LASTMARK_SAVE()/LASTMARK_RESTORE() usage, based on the

- Moved the upper part of the just commited patch (relative to bug #725106)
to outside the for() loop of BRANCH OP. There's no need to mark_save()

This problem is related to a wrong behavior from mark_save/restore(),
which don't restore the mark_stack_base before restoring the marks.
Greg's suggestion was to change the asserts, which happen to be
the only recursive ops that can continue the loop, but the problem would
happen to any operation with the same behavior. So, rather than
hardcoding this into asserts, I have changed mark_save/restore() to
always restore the stackbase before restoring the marks.
Both solutions should fix these two cases, presented by Greg:
>>> re.match('(a)(?:(?=(b)*)c)*', 'abb').groups()
('b', None)
>>> re.match('(a)((?!(b)*))*', 'abb').groups()
('b', None, None)

(contributed by logistix; substantially reworked by rhettinger).
To create a representation of non-string arrays, array_repr() was
starting with a base Python string object and repeatedly using +=
to concatenate the representation of individual objects.
Logistix had the idea to convert to an intermediate tuple form and
then join it all at once. I took advantage of existing tools and
formed a list with array_tolist() and got its representation through
PyObject_Repr(v) which already has a fast implementation for lists.

addition of op code SRE_OP_MIN_REPEAT_ONE for

long string.
of PyObject_HasAttr(); the former promises never to execute
arbitrary Python code. Undid many of the changes recently made to
worm around the worst consequences of that PyObject_HasAttr() could
execute arbitrary Python code.
Compatibility is hard to discuss, because the dangerous cases are
so perverse, and much of this appears to rely on implementation
accidents.
To start with, using hasattr() to check for __del__ wasn't only
dangerous, in some cases it was wrong: if an instance of an old-
style class didn't have "__del__" in its instance dict or in any
base class dict, but a getattr hook said __del__ existed, then
hasattr() said "yes, this object has a __del__". But
instance_dealloc() ignores the possibility of getattr hooks when
looking for a __del__, so while object.__del__ succeeds, no
__del__ method is called when the object is deleted. gc was
therefore incorrect in believing that the object had a finalizer.
The new method doesn't suffer that problem (like instance_dealloc(),
_PyObject_Lookup() doesn't believe __del__ exists in that case), but
does suffer a somewhat opposite-- and even more obscure --oddity:
if an instance of an old-style class doesn't have "__del__" in its
instance dict, and a base class does have "__del__" in its dict,
and the first base class with a "__del__" associates it with a
descriptor (an object with a __get__ method), *and* if that
descriptor raises an exception when __get__ is called, then
(a) the current method believes the instance does have a __del__,
but (b) hasattr() does not believe the instance has a __del__.
While these disagree, I believe the new method is "more correct":
because the descriptor *will* be called when the object is
destructed, it can execute arbitrary Python code at the time the
object is destructed, and that's really what gc means by "has a
finalizer": not specifically a __del__ method, but more generally
the possibility of executing arbitrary Python code at object
destruction time. Code in a descriptor's __get__() executed at
destruction time can be just as problematic as code in a
__del__() executed then.
So I believe the new method is better on all counts.
Bugfix candidate, but it's unclear to me how all this differs in
the 2.2 branch (e.g., new-style and old-style classes already
took different gc paths in 2.3 before this last round of patches,
but don't in the 2.2 branch).

externally unreachable objects with finalizers, and externally unreachable
objects without finalizers reachable from such objects. This allows us
to call has_finalizer() at most once per object, and so limit the pain of
nasty getattr hooks. This fixes the failing "boom 2" example Jeremy
posted (a non-printing variant of which is now part of test_gc), via never
triggering the nasty part of its __getattr__ method.
to special-case classic classes, or to worry about refcounts;
has_finalizer() deleted the current object iff the first entry in
the unreachable list has changed. I don't believe it was correct
to check for ob_refcnt == 1, either: the dealloc routine would get
called by Py_DECREF then, but there's nothing to stop the dealloc
routine from ressurecting the object, and then gc would remain at
the head of the unreachable list despite that its refcount temporarily
fell to 0 (and that would lead to an infinite loop in move_finalizers()).
I'm still worried about has_finalizer() resurrecting other objects
in the unreachable list: what's to stop them from getting collected?
delstr from initgc() into collect(). initgc() isn't called unless the
user explicitly imports gc, so can be used only for initialization of
user-visible module features; delstr needs to be initialized for proper
internal operation, whether or not gc is explicitly imported.
Bugfix candidate? I don't know whether the new bug was backported to
2.2 already.
pack_float, pack_double, save_float: All the routines for creating
IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored
that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of
1 bits. At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with
the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor
of 2. In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits
than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding.

pickle.py: Fixed stupid bug in save_long(): When proto is 2, it

append the proto 1 LONG opcode too.
Fixed equally stupid cancelling bugs in load_long1() and
load_long4(): they *returned* the unpickled long instead of pushing
it on the stack. The return values were ignored. Tests passed
before only because save_long() pickled the long twice.
Fixed bugs in encode_long().
Noted that decode_long() is quadratic-time despite our hopes,
because long(string, 16) is still quadratic-time in len(string).
It's hex() that's linear-time. I don't know a way to make decode_long()
linear-time in Python, short of maybe transforming the 256's-complement
bytes into marshal's funky internal format, and letting marshal decode
that. It would be more valuable to make long(string, 16) linear time.
pickletester.py: Added a global "protocols" vector so tests can try
all the protocols in a sane way. Changed test_ints() and test_unicode()
to do so. Added a new test_long(), but the tail end of it is disabled
because it "takes forever" under pickle.py (but runs very quickly under
cPickle: cPickle proto 2 for longs is linear-time).

setstates used to do in their state-tuple-input paths, but directly,
without constructing an object with throwaway state first. Tightened
the "is this a state tuple input?" paths to check the presumed state
string-length too, and to raise an exception if the optional second state
element isn't a tzinfo instance (IOW, check these paths for type errors
as carefully as the normal paths).

making __getnewargs__ identical to __getstate__ (hmm ... hope there
wasn't more to this than I realize!).
(pickling no longer needs them, and immutable objects shouldn't have
visible __setstate__() methods regardless). Rearranged the code to
put the internal setstate functions in the constructor sections.
Repaired the timedelta reduce() method, which was still producing
stuff that required a public timedelta.__setstate__() when unpickling.

default (and worse than useless, in this case) comparison

That's fine so far as it goes, but leaves no way for
another date/datetime object to make itself comparable
to our objects. For example, it leaves Marc-Andre no way
to teach mxDateTime dates how to compare against Python
dates.
Discussion on Python-Dev raised a number of impractical
ideas, and the simple one implemented here: when we don't
know how to compare against "the other" argument, we raise
TypeError *unless* the other object has a timetuple attr.
In that case, we return NotImplemented instead, and Python
will give the other object a shot at handling the
comparison then.
Note that comparisons of time and timedelta objects still
suffer the original problem, though.

checked in two days agao:
Refactoring of, and new rules for, dt.astimezone(tz).
dt must be aware now, and tz.utcoffset() and tz.dst() must not return None.
The old dt.astimezone(None) no longer works to change an aware datetime
into a naive datetime; use dt.replace(tzinfo=None) instead.
The tzinfo base class now supplies a new fromutc(self, dt) method, and
datetime.astimezone(tz) invokes tz.fromutc(). The default implementation
of fromutc() reproduces the same results as the old astimezone()
implementation, but tzinfo subclasses can override fromutc() if the
default implementation isn't strong enough to get the correct results
in all cases (for example, this may be necessary if a tzinfo subclass
models a time zone whose "standard offset" (wrt UTC) changed in some
year(s), or in some variations of double-daylight time -- the creativity
of time zone politics can't be captured in a single default implementation).

When daylight time ends, an hour repeats on the local clock (for example,
in US Eastern, the clock jumps from 1:59 back to 1:00 again). Times in
the repeated hour are ambiguous. A tzinfo subclass that wants to play
with astimezone() needs to treat times in the repeated hour as being
standard time. astimezone() previously required that such times be
treated as daylight time. There seems no killer argument either way,
but Guido wants the standard-time version, and it does seem easier the
new way to code both American (local-time based) and European (UTC-based)
switch rules, and the astimezone() implementation is simpler.

of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you
don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named
"datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime"). The
docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.
The attached patch enables shared extension

the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).
Lesson learned: kids should not be allowed to use API's starting
with an underscore :-/
zipimport in 2.3a1 is even more broken than I thought: I attemped
to _PyString_Resize a string created by PyString_FromStringAndSize,
which fails for strings with length 0 or 1 since the latter returns
an interned string in those cases. This would cause a SystemError
with empty source files (and no matching pyc) in the zip archive.
I rewrote the offending code to simply allocate a new buffer and
avoid _PyString_Resize altogether.
Added a test that would've caught the problem.

they couldn't return a timedelta. TOOWTDI.
On Windows, it was very common to get microsecond values (out of
.today() and .now()) of the form 480999, i.e. with three trailing
nines. The platform precision is .001 seconds, and fp rounding
errors account for the rest. Under the covers, that 480999 started
life as the fractional part of a timestamp, like .4809999978.
Rounding that times 1e6 cures the irritation.
Confession: the platform precision isn't really .001 seconds. It's
usually worse. What actually happens is that MS rounds a cruder value
to a multiple of .001, and that suffers its own rounding errors.
A tiny bit of refactoring added a new internal utility to round
doubles.

suggestion from Guido, along with a formal correctness proof of the
trickiest bit. The intricacy of the proof reveals how delicate this
is, but also how robust the conclusion: correctness doesn't rely on
dst() returning +- one hour (not all real time zones do!), it only
relies on:
1. That dst() returns a (any) non-zero value if and only if daylight
time is in effect.
and
2. That the tzinfo subclass implements a consistent notion of time zone.
The meaning of "consistent" was a hidden assumption, which is now an
explicit requirement in the docs. Alas, it's an unverifiable (by the
datetime implementation) requirement, but so it goes.
find a more elegant algorithm (OTOH, the hairy new implementation allows
user-written tzinfo classes to be elegant, so it's a big win even if
astimezone() remains hairy).
Darn! I've only got 10 minutes left to get falling-down drunk! I suppose
I'll have to smoke crack instead now.
The attached patch enables Cygwin Python to
build cleanly against the latest Cygwin Tcl/Tk
which is based on Tcl/Tk 8.3. It also prevents
building against the real X headers, if installed.
A variety of changes from Michael Hudson to get the compiler working
with 2.3. The primary change is the handling of SET_LINENO:
# The set_lineno() function and the explicit emit() calls for
# SET_LINENO below are only used to generate the line number table.
# As of Python 2.3, the interpreter does not have a SET_LINENO
# instruction. pyassem treats SET_LINENO opcodes as a special case.
A few other small changes:
- Remove unused code from pycodegen and pyassem.
- Fix error handling in parsermodule. When PyParser_SimplerParseString()
fails, it sets an exception with detailed info. The parsermodule
was clobbering that exception and replacing it was a generic
"could not parse string" exception. Keep the original exception.
an idea from Guido. This restores that the datetime implementation
never passes a datetime d to a tzinfo method unless d.tzinfo is the
tzinfo instance whose method is being called. That in turn allows
enormous simplifications in user-written tzinfo classes (see the Python
sandbox US.py and EU.py for fully fleshed-out examples).
d.astimezone(tz) also raises ValueError now if d lands in the one hour
of the year that can't be expressed in tz (this can happen iff tz models
both standard and daylight time). That it used to return a nonsense
result always ate at me, and it turned out that it seemed impossible to
force a consistent nonsense result under the new implementation (which
doesn't know anything about how tzinfo classes implement their methods --
it can only infer properties indirectly). Guido doesn't like this --
expect it to change.
New tests of conversion between adjacent DST-aware timezones don't pass
yet, and are commented out.
Running the datetime tests in a loop under a debug build leaks 9
references per test run, but I don't believe the datetime code is the
cause (it didn't leak the last time I changed the C code, and the leak
is the same if I disable all the tests that invoke the only function
that changed here). I'll pursue that next.

- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files
I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...
Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.
make the callers figure out the right tzinfo arguments to pass, instead of
making the callees guess. The code is uglier this way, but it's less
brittle (when the callee guesses, the caller can get surprised).
of the timetz case. A tzinfo method will always see a datetimetz arg,
or None, now. In the former case, it's still possible that it will get
a datetimetz argument belonging to a different timezone. That will get
fixed next.
Check for readline 2.2 features. This should make it possible to
compile readline.c again with GNU readline versions 2.0 or 2.1; this
ability was removed in readline.c rev. 2.49. Apparently the older
versions are still in widespread deployment on older Solaris
installations. With an older readline, completion behavior is subtly
different (a space is always added).
* channels() -> devices()
* stereochannels() -> stereodevices()
* recchannels() -> recdevices()
* getvol() -> get()
* setvol() -> set()
This is for (slightly) more consistency with the OSS ioctl names
(READ_DEVMASK, READ_RECMASK, READ_STEREODEVS).
Also make sure the C function names correspond more closely to the
Python method names for mixer methods.
Obtain cleaner coding and a system wide
performance boost by using the fast, pre-parsed
PyArg_Unpack function instead of PyArg_ParseTuple
function which is driven by a format string.
This can cause core dumps when Python runs. Python relies on the 754-
(and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions. This
patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at
Python startup time.
operands have identical tzinfo members (meaning object identity -- "is").
I misunderstood the intent here, reading wrong conclusion into
conflicting clues.
be trusted with years before 1900, so now we raise ValueError if a date or
datetime or datetimetz .strftime() method is called with a year before
1900.
such that the datetime tests failed if the envar PYTHON2K was set.
This is an utter mess, and the datetime module's strftime functions
inherit it. I suspect that, regardless of the PYTHON2K setting, and
regardless of platform limitations, the datetime strftime wrappers
will end up delivering nonsense results (or bogus exceptions) for
any year before 1900. I should probably just refuse to accept years
earlier than that -- else we'll have to implement strftime() by hand.
{timetz,datetimetz}.{utcoffset,dst}() now return a timedelta (or None)
instead of an int (or None).
tzinfo.{utcoffset,dst)() can now return a timedelta (or an int, or None).
Curiously, this was much easier to do in the C implementation than in the
Python implementation (which lives in the Zope3 code tree) -- the C code
already had lots of hair to extract C ints from offset objects, and used
C ints internally.
used that.
wrap_strftime(): Removed the most irritating uses of buf.
TestDate.test_ordinal_conversions(): The C implementation is fast enough
that we can afford to check the endpoints of every year. Also added
tm_yday tests at the endpoints.
PyMapping_Check() doesn't guarantee that PyMapping_Size() won't raise
an exception, nor that keys and values are lists.
Also folded some long lines and did a little whitespace normalization.
Probably a 2.2 backport candidate.
* rename oss_t to lad_t, Ladtype to OSSType,
* rename lad_*() methods to oss_*()
* rename lad_methods list to oss_methods
Patch and impetus supplied by Nicholas FitzRoy-Dale <wzdd@lardcave.net>.
Use OSSAudioError much less frequently -- all real I/O errors (ie. any
time open(), read(), write(), ioctl(), or select() return an error)
become IOError. OSSAudioError is only used now for bad open() mode.
Added _EXPORT_INT macro to export an integer constant to Python-space.
Use it for all the AFMT_* constants, and update the list of AFMT_*
constants to match what's in Linux 2.4: add AFMT_{QUERY,IMA_ADPCM,
MPEG,AC3}. This should probably be tested with older versions of OSS,
eg. with Linux 2.2 and 2.0.
Export all SNDCTL_* ioctl numbers (where "all" is the set found in
/usr/include/linux/soundcard.h on my Debian 3.0 system -- again
Linux 2.4). Again needs to be tested with older OSS versions.
it impossible to access blocking mode!
* Rename write() to writeall(), and add a write() method that just
does one write().
* Rearrange/simplify writeall(): in particular, don't supply a timeout
to select(). Let it block forever if it has to.
* Add a bunch of simple ioctl() wrappers: nonblock(), setfmt(),
getfmts(), channels(), speed(), sync(), reset(), post(). These
wrap, respectively, SNDCTL_DSP_NONBLOCK, SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT,
SNDCTL_DSP_GETFMTS, etc.
* Reduce flush() (which was a wrapper for the SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl) to
an alias for sync().
* Rearrange the lad_methods list to reflect the order in which the
methods are defined, and add some grouping comments.
This module is a replacement for linuxaudiodev, which will eventually
be deprecated.
Initial revision is rev 2.20 of linuxaudiodev.c, with a rewritten
header comment.
consistency with the built-in open() (and every other sane open()
function, for that matter). The two valid ways to call this open() are
now open(mode) and open(device, mode).
For backwards compatibility, retain the old open(mode) calling syntax --
this makes the error message when you call open(device) a bit confusing,
but oh well.
This is the first half of SF patch #644977.
This bug happened because: 1) the scanner_search and scanner_match methods
were not checking the buffer limits before increasing the current pointer;
and 2) SRE_SEARCH was using "if (ptr == end)" as a loop break, instead of
"if (ptr >= end)".
* Modules/_sre.c
(SRE_SEARCH): Check for "ptr >= end" to break loops, so that we don't
hang forever if a pointer passing the buffer limit is used.
(scanner_search,scanner_match): Don't increment the current pointer
if we're going to pass the buffer limit.
* Misc/NEWS
Mention the fix.
Make keyname raise ValueError if passed -1, avoiding a segfault
Make getkey() match the docs and raise an exception in nodelay mode
The return type of getch() is int, not chtype
from Greg Chapman.
* Modules/_sre.c
(lastmark_restore): New function, implementing algorithm to restore
a state to a given lastmark. In addition to the similar algorithm used
in a few places of SRE_MATCH, restore lastindex when restoring lastmark.
(SRE_MATCH): Replace lastmark inline restoring by lastmark_restore(),
function. Also include it where missing. In SRE_OP_MARK, set lastindex
only if i > lastmark.
* Lib/test/re_tests.py
* Lib/test/test_sre.py
Included regression tests for the fixed bugs.
* Misc/NEWS
Mention fixes.
On HPUX, Solaris, Tru64 (Dec UNIX), and IRIX (I think),
O_NONBLOCK is the POSIX version of non-blocking I/O
which is what we want.
On Linux and FreeBSD (at least), O_NONBLOCK and O_NDELAY are the same.
So this change should have no negative effect on those platforms.
Tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX.
Thanks to Anders Qvist for diagnosing this problem.
XML_Parser, which happens to be a pointer type, not an XML_Parser*.
This generated warnings when compiled with Expat 1.95.5, which no
longer defines XML_Parser to be void*.
64bit, big endian (issue 2 only).
This adds a bunch of memcpy calls via a temporary variable to avoid
alignment errors. That's needed for some platforms.
the "safety" parentheses since some older compilers refuse to compile
the module then, claiming that static initializers are non-constant.
This doesn't actually make any difference for Python, since these
definitions are not used when compiling with a version of Python that
already defines the PyDoc_* macros.
-- replace then with slightly faster PyObject_Call(o,a,NULL). (The
difference is that the latter requires a to be a tuple; the former
allows other values and wraps them in a tuple if necessary; it
involves two more levels of C function calls to accomplish all that.)
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer
Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.
Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
value; others were inconsistent in what to name the argument or return
value; a few module-global functions had "socket." in front of their
name, against convention.
WSAEWOULDBLOCK, the second connect() attempt appears to yield WSAEISCONN
on Win98 but WSAEINVAL on Win2K. So accept either as meaning "yawn,
fine". This allows test_socket to succeed on my Win2K box (which it
already did on my Win98SE box).
setup.py (indirectly) script to build the standard dynamically loaded

Closes SF bug #591205 (needed on trunk only).
actual script to run in case we are running from an applet. If we are indeed
running an applet we skip the normal option processing leaving it all to the
applet code.
This allows us to get use the normal python binary in the Python.app bundle,
giving us all the normal command line options through PythonLauncher while
still allowing Python.app to be used as the template for building applets.
Consequently, pythonforbundle is gone, and Mac/Python/macmain.c isn't used
on OSX anymore.
us to completely decouple the framework from the executable, so we
can use a two-level namespace.
- Do framework builds with a twolevel namespace.
- Reorganized the code that creates the minimal framework in the build
directory, to make it more robust against incomplete frameworks (from
earlier aborted builds, or builds of previous Python versions).
C implementation. See SF patch 474274, by Brett Cannon.
(As an experiment, I'm adding a line that #undefs HAVE_STRPTIME,
so that you'll always get the Python version. This is so that it
gets some good exercise. We should eventually delete that line.)
- The log reader now provides a "closed" attribute similar to the
profiler.
- Both the profiler and log reader now provide a fileno() method.
- Use METH_NOARGS where possible, allowing simpler code in the method
implementations.
write_header(): When we encounter a non-string object in sys.path, record
a fairly mindless placeholder rather than dying. Possibly could record
the repr of the object found, but not clear whether that matters.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
