retry the select() loop instead of bailing out. This is because select()
can incorrectly report a socket as ready for reading (for example, if it
received some data with an invalid checksum).
environment variable to set the filesystem encoding at Python startup.
sys.setfilesystemencoding() creates inconsistencies because it is unable to
reencode all filenames in all objects.
namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block. This limitation
of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF).
This sample was valid in 2.6, but fails to compile in 3.x without this change::
>>> def f():
... def print_error():
... print(e)
... try:
... something
... except Exception as e:
... print_error()
... # implicit "del e" here
This sample has always been invalid in Python, and now works::
>>> def outer(x):
... def inner():
... return x
... inner()
... del x
There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used
for code that did not compile before.
Database (Py_UNICODE_TOLOWER, Py_UNICODE_ISDECIMAL, and others) now accept
and return characters from the full Unicode range (Py_UCS4).
The differences from Python code are few:
- unicodedata.numeric(), unicodedata.decimal() and unicodedata.digit()
now return the correct value for large code points
- repr() may consider more characters as printable.
... to get the filename as a unicode object, instead of a byte string. Function
needed to support unencodable filenames. Deprecate PyModule_GetFilename() in
favor on the new function.
Call _wfopen() on Windows, or fopen() otherwise. Return the new file object on
success, or NULL if the file cannot be open or (if PyErr_Occurred()) on unicode
error.
It's a ParseTuple converter: decode bytes objects to unicode using
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize(); str objects are output as-is.
* Don't specify surrogateescape error handler in the comments nor the
documentation, but PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize() and
PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() because these functions use strict error handler
for the mbcs encoding (on Windows).
* Remove PyUnicode_FSConverter() comment in unicodeobject.c to avoid
inconsistency with unicodeobject.h.
signed/unsigned chars or on integers directly derived from those. In all
cases, it could be replaced by a simple cast to (unsigned char). Reasons
for the change:
a) Make the comment more explicit.
b) If char is unsigned, the cast is optimized away.
c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript
has type 'char'" warnings.
