Give meaning to the oparg for BUILD_MAP: estimated size of the dictionary.
Allows dictionaries to be pre-sized (upto 255 elements) saving time lost
to re-sizes with their attendant mallocs and re-insertions.
Has zero effect on small dictionaries (5 elements or fewer), a slight
benefit for dicts upto 22 elements (because they had to resize once
anyway), and more benefit for dicts upto 255 elements (saving multiple
resizes during the build-up and reducing the number of collisions on
the first insertions). Beyond 255 elements, there is no addional benefit.

Also added docs for sys.maxsize.

Multiple reinitializations of Python 3.0 failed on a system without a hardcoded default fs encoding. The patch makes sure that the default fs encoding is freed and reset to NULL on e.g. Linux.

Now in find, rfind, index, and rindex, you can use None as defaults,
as usual with slicing (both with str and unicode strings). This
fixes issue 1259.
For str only the stringobject.c file was modified. But for unicode,
I needed to repeat in the four functions a lot of code, so created
a new function that does part of the job for them (and placed it in
find.h, following a suggestion of Barry).
Also added tests for this behaviour.

Fix for stupid error (I need to remember to do a full 'make clean + make'
cycle before the tests...). Sorry.

Patch #1739468: Directories and zipfiles containing __main__.py are now executable
........
After a long discussion about the problem with Windows GUI apps Guido decided that sys.stdin, stdout and stderr should be None when the C runtime library returns invalid file descriptors for the standard streams.
So far the only known cases are Windows GUI apps and scripts started with pythonw on Windows. The OS restrictions are tight enough to catch the problem on other OSes.
When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx
is called with a GeneratorExit exception set. This leads to funny results
if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators.
A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None.
Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called.
It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace
function.
This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs
def __instancecheck__(cls, instance):
"""Override for isinstance(instance, cls)."""
return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c)
for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)})
which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True.
Seems a backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.
raw string literals. I added a whole bunch of tests but am still not sure
I am testing all paths through the code. I really think the code could be
simplified quite a bit.
The patch doesn't do the whole name mangling mambo jambo on purpose. MS sure does some weird things and I don't feel like reimplementing ntpath.normpath in C. If the user does deliberately something stupid he is on his own.
TODO: Backport to 2.6 (maybe 2.5?) and document that users should only do sys.path.append(os.path.normpath(somepath)) if they want to be on the safe side.
No detailed change log; just check out the change log for the py3k-pep3137
branch. The most obvious changes:
- str8 renamed to bytes (PyString at the C level);
- bytes renamed to buffer (PyBytes at the C level);
- PyString and PyUnicode are no longer compatible.
I.e. we now have an immutable bytes type and a mutable bytes type.
The behavior of PyString was modified quite a bit, to make it more
bytes-like. Some changes are still on the to-do list.
Added PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize
Fixed a problem with the sys.path code that caused a segfault on Windows when the path contains non ASCII chars. The code for sys.executable, exec_prefix and prefix should be fixed, too.
