they occur on a single line, as opposed to the previous behavior of
quoting dots if they are the second character of any line.
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.
Will backport to release25-maint.
* 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)
* trying to write a few tests...

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.

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

Currently, only MSVC supports SEH.
Fix the test so that it doesn't crash when run with MingW compiled

(the later does not affect Python).
Moved the crasher test to the tests for xml.parsers.expat.
This backs out the test changes in 46962 which prevented crashes
by not running the tests via a version check. All the version checks
added in that rev were removed from the tests.
Code was added to the error handler in connection.c that seems
to work with older versions of sqlite including 3.1.3.
SQLite versions.
- 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.

- support for anonymous structure/union fields
- fix severe bug with certain arrays or structures containing more than 256 fields
the char buffer was requested. Now it actually returns the char buffer if
available or raises a TypeError if it isn't (as is raised for the other buffer
types if they are not present but requested).

* 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.

Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a

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 expat_config.h which includes pyconfig.h.
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
tuple-ness of the address argument, which means a confusing SystemError was
raised by PyArg_ParseTuple instead.
The new char-array used in ioctl calls wasn't explicitly NUL-terminated;
quite probably the cause for the test_pty failures on Solaris that we

This patch checks if poll is broken when the select module is loaded instead
of doing so at configure-time. This functionality is only active on Mac OS X.
This patch causes several symbols in the socket and posix module to be weakly
linked on OSX and disables usage of ftime on OSX. These changes make it possible
to use a binary build on OSX 10.4 on a 10.3 system.
I tested this with valgrind on amd64.
The man pages I found for diff architectures are inconsistent on this.
I'm not entirely sure this change is correct for all architectures either.

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.
Don't use SEH when compiling wth mingw.
Use IS_INTRESOURCE to determine function name from function ordinal.

as diagnosed by Nick Coghlan.
test_capi.py: A test module should never spawn a thread as
a side effect of being imported. Because this one did, the
segfault one of its thread tests caused didn't occur until
a few tests after test_regrtest.py thought test_capi was
finished. Repair that. Also join() the thread spawned
at the end, so that test_capi is truly finished when
regrtest reports that it's done.
_testcapimodule.c test_thread_state(): this spawns a
couple of non-threading.py threads, passing them a PyObject*
argument, but did nothing to ensure that those threads
finished before returning. As a result, the PyObject*
_could_ (although this was unlikely) get decref'ed out of
existence before the threads got around to using it.
Added explicit synchronization (via a Python mutex) so
that test_thread_state can reliably wait for its spawned
threads to finish.
This was a fair amount of rework of the patch. Refactored test_fork1 so it
could be reused by the new tests for wait3/4. Also made them into new style
unittests (derive from unittest.TestCase).
This patch adds a-LAW encoding to audioop and replaces the old
u-LAW encoding/decoding code with the current code from sox.
Possible issues: the code from sox uses int16_t.

This will hopefully get rid of some Coverity warnings, be a hint to
developers, and be marginally faster.
Some asserts were added when the type is currently known, but depends

The attached patch fixes all the ctypes tests so they pass on amd64.
It also fixes several warnings. I'm not sure what else to do with the

sq_{item,slice,ass_item,ass_slice} all need to use Py_ssize_t. The

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

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.

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!

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.

Subversion revision number.

Also, use $(srcdir) in the Makefile.pre.in to handle the case where Python is

Add C API function Py_GetBuildNumber(), add it to the interactive prompt
