of the change, Random pickles created by Python 2.6 cannot be loaded

The new msvc9compiler module supports VS 2005 and VS 2008. I've also fixed build_ext to support PCbuild8 and PCbuild9 and backported my fix for xxmodule.c from py3k. The old code msvccompiler is still in place in case somebody likes to build an extension with VS 2003 or earlier.
I've also updated the cygwin compiler module for VS 2005 and VS 2008. It works with VS 2005 but I'm unable to test it with VS 2008. We have to wait for a new version of cygwin.
Georg Brandl has added fchmod() and fchown(). I've contributed lchown but I'm not able to test it on Linux. However it should be available on Mac and some other flavors of Unix.
I've made a quick test of fchmod() and fchown() on my system. They are working as expected.
I've finished the last task for the PCbuild9 directory today. I don't think there is much left to do. Now you can all play around with the shiny new VS 2008 and try the PGO builds. I was able to get a speed improvement of about 10% on py3k.
Have fun! :)
Currently on Windows set_error() make use of a large array which maps
socket error numbers to error messages.
This patch removes that array and just lets PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr()
generate the message by using the Win32 function FormatMessage().

string key (and probably a few other situations with string keys).
This was reported with a patch as pybsddb sourceforge bug 1708868 by

This code was broken if save() returned a negative number since i contained
a boolean value and then we compared i < 0 which should never be true.
Will backport (assuming it's necessary)
Add maxlen support to deque() and fixup docs.
Partially fix __reduce__(). The None as a third arg was no longer supported.
Still needs work on __reduce__() to handle recursive inputs.
adding the 'makefile' method to ssl.SSLSocket, and importing the
requisite fakefile class from socket.py, and making the appropriate
changes to it to make it use the SSL connection.
Added sample HTTPS server to test_ssl.py, and test that uses it.
Change SSL tests to use https://svn.python.org/, instead of
www.sf.net and pop.gmail.com.
Added utility function to ssl module, get_server_certificate,
to wrap up the several things to be done to pull a certificate
from a remote server.
Make sure the type of the return value of re.sub(x, y, z) is the type
of y+x (i.e. unicode if either is unicode, str if they are both str)
even if there are no substitutions or if x==z (which triggered various
special cases in join_list()).
Could be backported to 2.5; no need to port to 3.0.
* Much expanded test suite:
All protocols tested against all other protocols.
All protocols tested with all certificate options.
Tests for bad key and bad cert.
Test of STARTTLS functionality.
Test of RAND_* functions.
* Fixes for threading/malloc bug.
* Issue 1065 fixed:
sslsocket class renamed to SSLSocket.
sslerror class renamed to SSLError.
Function "wrap_socket" now used to wrap an existing socket.
* Issue 1583946 finally fixed:
Support for subjectAltName added.
Subject name now returned as proper DN list of RDNs.
* SSLError exported from socket as "sslerror".
* RAND_* functions properly exported from ssl.py.
* Documentation improved:
Example of how to create a self-signed certificate.

python-dev discussion here:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2007-July/073749.html
I chose IOError rather than EnvironmentError as the base class since
socket objects are often used as transparent duck typed file objects
in code already prepared to deal with IOError exceptions.
also a minor fix:
urllib2 - fix a couple places where IOError was raised rather than URLError.
for better or worse, URLError already inherits from IOError so
this won't break any existing code.
test_urllib2net - replace bad ftp urls.
The exact behaviour of omitted and negative indices for the Pointer type may
need a closer look (especially as it's subtly different from simple slices)
but there's time yet before 2.6, and not enough before 3.0a1 :-)
- Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.
- Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
involved types.
- For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)
- Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
UserString.UserString.
- Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
UserString.MutableString.
- Add tests for all new functionality.

Here's a patch which addresses this. It also fixes the indentation in
PySSL_SetError, bringing it into line with PEP 7, fixes a compile warning
about one of the OpenSSL macros, and makes the namespace a bit more
consistent. I've tested it on FC 7 and OS X 10.4.

Different versions of Berkeley DB handle this differently.
The comments and bug report should have the details. Memory is allocated
in 4.4 (and presumably earlier), but not in 4.5. Thus
4.5 has the free error, but not earlier versions.
Mostly update comments, plus make the free conditional.
This fix was already applied to the 2.5 branch.
- Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
- Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows. There is only Itanium and x64. Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
- Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
- Fixed thread_nt.h. The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn´t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier. Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
- Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
- PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
- PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.
With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.

Python would crash instead of raising an error.
The crash was caused by a section of code that should have been
removed long ago, at that time ctypes had other ways to pass
parameters to function calls.

merged into the 2.5 maintenance branch:
- self->statement was not checked while fetching data, which could
lead to crashes if you used the pysqlite API in unusual ways.
Closing the cursor and continuing to fetch data was enough.
- Converters are stored in a converters dictionary. The converter name
is uppercased first. The old upper-casing algorithm was wrong and
was replaced by a simple call to the Python string's upper() method
instead.
-Applied patch by Glyph Lefkowitz that fixes the problem with
subsequent SQLITE_SCHEMA errors.
- Improvement to the row type: rows can now be iterated over and have a keys()
method. This improves compatibility with both tuple and dict a lot.
- A bugfix for the subsecond resolution in timestamps.
- Corrected the way the flags PARSE_DECLTYPES and PARSE_COLNAMES are
checked for. Now they work as documented.
- gcc on Linux sucks. It exports all symbols by default in shared
libraries, so if symbols are not unique it can lead to problems with
symbol lookup. pysqlite used to crash under Apache when mod_cache
was enabled because both modules had the symbol cache_init. I fixed
this by applying the prefix pysqlite_ almost everywhere. Sigh.
The problem is that _DB_get_type() can't be called without the GIL
because it calls a bunch of PyErr_* APIs when an error occurs.
There were no other cases in this file that it was called without the GIL.
Removing the BEGIN/END THREAD around _DB_get_type() made everything work.
Will backport.
some warnings from Klokwork. They verify the assumptions of the format
of svn version output.
The assert in the thread module helped debug a problem on HP-UX.
Check this and raise an error when something else is used - before
this change ctypes would hang or crash when such a callback was
called. This is a partial fix for #1574584.

* unified the way intobject, longobject and mystrtoul handle
values around -sys.maxint-1.
* in general, trying to entierely avoid overflows in any computation
involving signed ints or longs is extremely involved. Fixed a few
simple cases where a compiler might be too clever (but that's all
guesswork).
* more overflow checks against bad data in marshal.c.
* 2.5 specific: fixed a number of places that were still confusing int
and Py_ssize_t. Some of them could potentially have caused
"real-world" breakage.
* list.pop(x): fixing overflow issues on x was messy. I just reverted
to PyArg_ParseTuple("n"), which does the right thing. (An obscure
test was trying to give a Decimal to list.pop()... doesn't make
sense any more IMHO)

This should fix the klocwork issues that Neal sent me. If so,
it should be applied to the release25-maint branch also.
of the Python part of a callback function to C. If it cannot be
converted, call PyErr_WriteUnraisable with the exception we got.
Before, arbitrary data has been passed to the calling C code in this
case.
(I'm not really sure the NEWS entry is understandable, but I cannot
find better words)
PyObject_stgdict() and PyType_stgdict() calls are non-NULL before
dereferencing the result. Hopefully this fixes what klocwork is
complaining about.
Fix a few other nits as well.
ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented
'_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign
function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in
the type's stgdict.
In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if
other conversions are not possible.
This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended.
Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.
This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.

This provides the proper warning for struct.pack().
PyErr_Warn() is now deprecated in favor of PyErr_WarnEx().
As mentioned by Tim Peters on python-dev.
We didn't notice these before because test_defaultdict didn't
actually do anything before Georg fixed that earlier today.
Neal's next refleak run then showed test_defaultdict leaking
9 references on each run. That's repaired by this checkin.
inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.

undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was

- Added version checks in test suite so that we don't execute tests that we
know will fail with older (buggy) SQLite versions.
Now, all tests should run against all SQLite versions from 3.0.8 until 3.3.6
(latest one now). The sqlite3 module can be built against all these SQLite
versions and the sqlite3 module does its best to not trigger bugs in SQLite,
but using SQLite 3.3.3 or later is recommended.

* pack_to -> pack_into
* recv_buf -> recv_into
* recvfrom_buf -> recvfrom_into
- Made fixes to _struct.c according to Neal Norwitz comments on the checkins
list.
- Converted some ints into the appropriate -- I hope -- ssize_t and size_t.
Fix by renaming the variable.
In a different module, Neal fixed it by renaming _self to self. There's
already a variable named 'self' here, so I used selfptr.
(I'm committing this on a Mac without Tk, but it's a simple search-and-replace.
<crosses fingers>, so I'll watch the buildbots and see what happens.)
Renames functional extension module to _functools and adds a Python
functools module so that utility functions like update_wrapper can be
added easily.
* Added socket.recv_buf() and socket.recvfrom_buf() methods, that use the buffer
protocol (send and sendto already did).
* Added struct.pack_to(), that is the corresponding buffer compatible method to
unpack_from().
* Fixed minor typos in arraymodule.

_csv.c: I'm not sure if lineterminator could have been anything other than
a string. However, other string method calls are checked, so check this
one too.

The problem was that pyconfig.h was being included before some system headers
which caused redefinitions and other breakage. This moves system headers

After the patch (45590) to add extra debug stats to the gc module, Python
was crashing on OpenBSD due to:
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
This seems to occur due to calling collect() when initialized (in pythonrun.c)

shouldn't suffer this problem.
MAXPATHLEN-sized buffers for various output-buffers (like to realpath()),
and that's correct on BSD platforms, but not Linux (which uses PATH_MAX, and
does not define MAXPATHLEN.) Cursory googling suggests Linux is following a
newer standard than BSD, but in cases like this, who knows. Using the
greater of PATH_MAX and 1024 as a fallback for MAXPATHLEN seems to be the
most portable solution.
AF_PACKET cases in getsockaddrarg were missing their own checks for

of SQLite3 from 3.2.2 to 3.0.8, by providing an alternative to
sqlite3_transfer_bindings. setup.py also handles the common (in debian
and ubuntu, at least) case of a buggy sqlite3.h SQLITE_VERSION_NUMBER.
This is based on pysqlite2.1.3, and provides a DB-API interface in
the standard library. You'll need sqlite 3.2.2 or later to build
this - if you have an earlier version, the C extension module will
not be built.
glibc, for example, does this already on its own, but it seems that
the solaris libc doesn't. This leads to Python code being able to over-
write file contents even though having specified "a" mode.
objimpl.h, pymem.h: Stop mapping PyMem_{Del, DEL} and PyMem_{Free, FREE}
to PyObject_{Free, FREE} in a release build. They're aliases for the
system free() now.
_subprocess.c/sp_handle_dealloc(): Since the memory was originally
obtained via PyObject_NEW, it must be released via PyObject_FREE (or
_DEL).
pythonrun.c, tokenizer.c, parsermodule.c: I lost count of the number of
PyObject vs PyMem mismatches in these -- it's like the specific
function called at each site was picked at random, sometimes even with
memory obtained via PyMem getting released via PyObject. Changed most
to use PyObject uniformly, since the blobs allocated are predictably
small in most cases, and obmalloc is generally faster than system
mallocs then.
If extension modules in real life prove as sloppy as Python's front
end, we'll have to revert the objimpl.h + pymem.h part of this patch.
Note that no problems will show up in a debug build (all calls still go
thru obmalloc then). Problems will show up only in a release build, most
likely segfaults.
