There is a small chance of backward incompatibility here, but only for
non-SimpleCookie applications reading SimpleCookie generated cookies. Even
then, any such ap is likely to be handling escaped values already, and it would
take a fairly perverse implementation of unescaping to fail to unescape these
newly escaped chars, so the risk seems minimal.
* Replace "bytes" by "bytes object" in struct error messages
* Document the API change in What's new in Python 3.2
* Fix test_wave
* Remove also ugly implicit conversions in test_struct
If a .pth file contained an error, it could cause a traceback in site.py,
terminating its processing. In 2.7 and 3.2, the interpreter will then not
start. Previously, a message would print saying to use -v to get the
traceback. In either case, the traceback generated for a failed .pth file did
not include the .pth filename, making it difficult to debug the problem. Now
site.py reports not only the .pth filename but also the line number causing the
error, and just skips the remainder of the file.
The RFC is bit hard to understand on this point, but the examples
clearly show that parameter values that are encoded according
to its charset/language rules don't have surrounding quotes, and
the ABNF does not allow for quotes. So when we produce such
encoded values, we no longer add quotes.
Previously passing a string in as the password would fail either with
an assertion error or a TypeError with a confusing error message.
Note that a string can't be accepted since zipfile has no way to
guess what encoding should be used to turn it into bytes.
Patch by Victor Stinner.
Such addresses are not RFC compliant except under the 'obsolete syntax'
rules, but before this fix the whitespace was dropped from the input,
concatenating the pieces. That breaks one of the principles of the
email package, that of preserving the input as much as possible.
It also denies the application program the opportunity to apply its
own heuristics to interpretation of such non-compliant addresses.
It is possible users of the email package were depending on the local
part always being a single token, so this fix will not be backported.
This provides access to the context menus where they previously could
not be accessed due to the way OSX Tk binds buttons. It also
improves platform consistency.
Patch by Ned Deily.
editline rl_initialize apparently discards any mappings done before it
is called, which makes tab revert to file completion instead of inserting
a tab. So now on OSX we call rl_initialize first if we are using
readline, and then re-read the users .editrc (if any) afterward so they
can still override our defaults.
Patch by Ned Deily, modified by Ronald Oussoren.
Passing the port as a string value works fine in regular mode, but
if you turned debug on it would throw an error trying to print the
port number, which is surprising and confusing.
Issue #7213: Change the close_fds default on Windows to better match the new
default on POSIX. True when possible (False if stdin/stdout/stderr are
supplied).
Update the documentation to reflect all of the above.
types. Added a new API function, PyUnicode_TransformDecimalToASCII(),
which transforms non-ASCII decimal digits in a Unicode string to their
ASCII equivalents.
* A -b option to start an enhanced browsing session.
* Allow -b and -p options to be used together.
* Specifying port 0 will pick an arbitrary unused socket port.
* A new browse() function to start the new server and browser.
* Show Python version information in the header.
* A *Get* field which takes the same input as the help() function.
* A *Search* field which replaces the Tkinter search box.
* Links to *Module Index*, *Topics*, and *Keywords*.
* Improved source file viewing.
* An HTMLDoc.filelink() method.
* The -g option and the gui() and serve() functions are deprecated.
The motivation for adding this option is that the the functionality it
provides used to be provided by sgmllib in Python2, and was used by,
for example, BeautifulSoup. Without this option, the Python3 version
of BeautifulSoup and the many programs that use it are crippled.
The original patch was by 'kxroberto'. I modified it heavily but kept his
heuristics and test. I also added additional heuristics to fix#975556,
#1046092, and part of #6191. This patch should be completely backward
compatible: the behavior with the default strict=True is unchanged.
Added a few common Popen uses to the tests like we've done for a few other
instances of adding context managers. Eventually the entire test suite
could be converted to use the context manager format.
In order to create symlinks on Windows, SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege
is an account privilege that is required to be held by the user. Not only
must the privilege be enabled for the account, the activated privileges for
the currently running application must be adjusted to enable the requested
privilege.
Rather than exposing an additional function to be called prior to the user's
first os.symlink call, we handle the AdjustTokenPrivileges Windows API call
internally and only expose os.symlink when the privilege escalation was
successful.
Due to the change of only exposing os.symlink when it's available, we can
go back to the original test skipping methods of checking via `hasattr`.
