Patch # 1140 (my code, approved by Effbot).
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.

Backport abc.py and isinstance/issubclass overloading to 2.6.
I had to backport test_typechecks.py myself, and make one small change
to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

Add support for asyncore server-side SSL support. This requires
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.

|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * Anyone can add text to this document. Do not spend very much time
|
|
|
|
.. % on the wording of your changes, because your text will probably
|
|
|
|
.. % get rewritten to some degree.
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * The maintainer will go through Misc/NEWS periodically and add
|
|
|
|
.. % changes; it's therefore more important to add your changes to
|
|
|
|
.. % Misc/NEWS than to this file.
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
|
|
|
|
.. % is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. Some changes I consider too small
|
|
|
|
.. % or esoteric to include. If such a change is added to the text,
|
|
|
|
.. % I'll just remove it. (This is another reason you shouldn't spend
|
|
|
|
.. % too much time on writing your addition.)
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
|
|
|
|
.. % maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
|
|
|
|
.. % section.
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * It's OK to just add a fragmentary note about a change. For
|
|
|
|
.. % example: "XXX Describe the transmogrify() function added to the
|
|
|
|
.. % socket module." The maintainer will research the change and
|
|
|
|
.. % write the necessary text.
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
|
|
|
|
.. % necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix. Just the name is
|
|
|
|
.. % sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
|
|
|
|
.. %
|
|
|
|
.. % * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
.. % % Patch 12345
|
|
|
|

This article explains the new features in Python 2.6. No release date for
|
|
|
|
Python 2.6 has been set; it will probably be released in mid 2008.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This article doesn't attempt to provide a complete specification of the new
|
|
|
|
features, but instead provides a convenient overview. For full details, you
|
|
|
|
should refer to the documentation for Python 2.6. If you want to understand the
|
|
|
|
complete implementation and design rationale, refer to the PEP for a particular
|
|
|
|
new feature.
|

A new command-line switch, :option:`-3`, enables warnings

about features that will be removed in Python 3.0. You can run code

|
|
|
with this switch to see how much work will be necessary to port
|
|
|
|
code to 3.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|

|
The 3xxx series of PEPs, which describes the development process for
|
|
|

Python 3.0 and various features that have been accepted, rejected,
|
|
|
|
or are still under consideration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PEP 343: The 'with' statement
|
|
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The previous version, Python 2.5, added the ':keyword:`with`'
|
|
|
|
statement an optional feature, to be enabled by a ``from __future__
|
|
|
|
import generators`` directive. In 2.6 the statement no longer need to
|
|
|
|
be specially enabled; this means that :keyword:`with` is now always a
|
|
|
|
keyword. The rest of this section is a copy of the corresponding
|
|
|
|
section from "What's New in Python 2.5" document; if you read
|
|
|
|
it back when Python 2.5 came out, you can skip the rest of this
|
|
|
|
section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ':keyword:`with`' statement clarifies code that previously would use
|
|
|
|
``try...finally`` blocks to ensure that clean-up code is executed. In this
|
|
|
|
section, I'll discuss the statement as it will commonly be used. In the next
|
|
|
|
section, I'll examine the implementation details and show how to write objects
|
|
|
|
for use with this statement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ':keyword:`with`' statement is a new control-flow structure whose basic
|
|
|
|
structure is::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with expression [as variable]:
|
|
|
|
with-block
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The expression is evaluated, and it should result in an object that supports the
|
|
|
|
context management protocol (that is, has :meth:`__enter__` and :meth:`__exit__`
|
|
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The object's :meth:`__enter__` is called before *with-block* is executed and
|
|
|
|
therefore can run set-up code. It also may return a value that is bound to the
|
|
|
|
name *variable*, if given. (Note carefully that *variable* is *not* assigned
|
|
|
|
the result of *expression*.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After execution of the *with-block* is finished, the object's :meth:`__exit__`
|
|
|
|
method is called, even if the block raised an exception, and can therefore run
|
|
|
|
clean-up code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some standard Python objects now support the context management protocol and can
|
|
|
|
be used with the ':keyword:`with`' statement. File objects are one example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with open('/etc/passwd', 'r') as f:
|
|
|
|
for line in f:
|
|
|
|
print line
|
|
|
|
... more processing code ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After this statement has executed, the file object in *f* will have been
|
|
|
|
automatically closed, even if the :keyword:`for` loop raised an exception part-
|
|
|
|
way through the block.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this case, *f* is the same object created by :func:`open`, because
|
|
|
|
:meth:`file.__enter__` returns *self*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`threading` module's locks and condition variables also support the
|
|
|
|
':keyword:`with`' statement::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lock = threading.Lock()
|
|
|
|
with lock:
|
|
|
|
# Critical section of code
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The lock is acquired before the block is executed and always released once the
|
|
|
|
block is complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new :func:`localcontext` function in the :mod:`decimal` module makes it easy
|
|
|
|
to save and restore the current decimal context, which encapsulates the desired
|
|
|
|
precision and rounding characteristics for computations::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from decimal import Decimal, Context, localcontext
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Displays with default precision of 28 digits
|
|
|
|
v = Decimal('578')
|
|
|
|
print v.sqrt()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with localcontext(Context(prec=16)):
|
|
|
|
# All code in this block uses a precision of 16 digits.
|
|
|
|
# The original context is restored on exiting the block.
|
|
|
|
print v.sqrt()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
Writing Context Managers
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, the ':keyword:`with`' statement is fairly complicated. Most
|
|
|
|
people will only use ':keyword:`with`' in company with existing objects and
|
|
|
|
don't need to know these details, so you can skip the rest of this section if
|
|
|
|
you like. Authors of new objects will need to understand the details of the
|
|
|
|
underlying implementation and should keep reading.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A high-level explanation of the context management protocol is:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The expression is evaluated and should result in an object called a "context
|
|
|
|
manager". The context manager must have :meth:`__enter__` and :meth:`__exit__`
|
|
|
|
methods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The context manager's :meth:`__enter__` method is called. The value returned
|
|
|
|
is assigned to *VAR*. If no ``'as VAR'`` clause is present, the value is simply
|
|
|
|
discarded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The code in *BLOCK* is executed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If *BLOCK* raises an exception, the :meth:`__exit__(type, value, traceback)`
|
|
|
|
is called with the exception details, the same values returned by
|
|
|
|
:func:`sys.exc_info`. The method's return value controls whether the exception
|
|
|
|
is re-raised: any false value re-raises the exception, and ``True`` will result
|
|
|
|
in suppressing it. You'll only rarely want to suppress the exception, because
|
|
|
|
if you do the author of the code containing the ':keyword:`with`' statement will
|
|
|
|
never realize anything went wrong.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* If *BLOCK* didn't raise an exception, the :meth:`__exit__` method is still
|
|
|
|
called, but *type*, *value*, and *traceback* are all ``None``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's think through an example. I won't present detailed code but will only
|
|
|
|
sketch the methods necessary for a database that supports transactions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(For people unfamiliar with database terminology: a set of changes to the
|
|
|
|
database are grouped into a transaction. Transactions can be either committed,
|
|
|
|
meaning that all the changes are written into the database, or rolled back,
|
|
|
|
meaning that the changes are all discarded and the database is unchanged. See
|
|
|
|
any database textbook for more information.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's assume there's an object representing a database connection. Our goal will
|
|
|
|
be to let the user write code like this::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
db_connection = DatabaseConnection()
|
|
|
|
with db_connection as cursor:
|
|
|
|
cursor.execute('insert into ...')
|
|
|
|
cursor.execute('delete from ...')
|
|
|
|
# ... more operations ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The transaction should be committed if the code in the block runs flawlessly or
|
|
|
|
rolled back if there's an exception. Here's the basic interface for
|
|
|
|
:class:`DatabaseConnection` that I'll assume::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
class DatabaseConnection:
|
|
|
|
# Database interface
|
|
|
|
def cursor (self):
|
|
|
|
"Returns a cursor object and starts a new transaction"
|
|
|
|
def commit (self):
|
|
|
|
"Commits current transaction"
|
|
|
|
def rollback (self):
|
|
|
|
"Rolls back current transaction"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :meth:`__enter__` method is pretty easy, having only to start a new
|
|
|
|
transaction. For this application the resulting cursor object would be a useful
|
|
|
|
result, so the method will return it. The user can then add ``as cursor`` to
|
|
|
|
their ':keyword:`with`' statement to bind the cursor to a variable name. ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
class DatabaseConnection:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
def __enter__ (self):
|
|
|
|
# Code to start a new transaction
|
|
|
|
cursor = self.cursor()
|
|
|
|
return cursor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :meth:`__exit__` method is the most complicated because it's where most of
|
|
|
|
the work has to be done. The method has to check if an exception occurred. If
|
|
|
|
there was no exception, the transaction is committed. The transaction is rolled
|
|
|
|
back if there was an exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the code below, execution will just fall off the end of the function,
|
|
|
|
returning the default value of ``None``. ``None`` is false, so the exception
|
|
|
|
will be re-raised automatically. If you wished, you could be more explicit and
|
|
|
|
add a :keyword:`return` statement at the marked location. ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
class DatabaseConnection:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
def __exit__ (self, type, value, tb):
|
|
|
|
if tb is None:
|
|
|
|
# No exception, so commit
|
|
|
|
self.commit()
|
|
|
|
else:
|
|
|
|
# Exception occurred, so rollback.
|
|
|
|
self.rollback()
|
|
|
|
# return False
|
|
|
|
|
|

.. _module-contextlib:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The contextlib module
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new :mod:`contextlib` module provides some functions and a decorator that
|
|
|
|
are useful for writing objects for use with the ':keyword:`with`' statement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The decorator is called :func:`contextmanager`, and lets you write a single
|
|
|
|
generator function instead of defining a new class. The generator should yield
|
|
|
|
exactly one value. The code up to the :keyword:`yield` will be executed as the
|
|
|
|
:meth:`__enter__` method, and the value yielded will be the method's return
|
|
|
|
value that will get bound to the variable in the ':keyword:`with`' statement's
|
|
|
|
:keyword:`as` clause, if any. The code after the :keyword:`yield` will be
|
|
|
|
executed in the :meth:`__exit__` method. Any exception raised in the block will
|
|
|
|
be raised by the :keyword:`yield` statement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our database example from the previous section could be written using this
|
|
|
|
decorator as::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from contextlib import contextmanager
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@contextmanager
|
|
|
|
def db_transaction (connection):
|
|
|
|
cursor = connection.cursor()
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
|
|
yield cursor
|
|
|
|
except:
|
|
|
|
connection.rollback()
|
|
|
|
raise
|
|
|
|
else:
|
|
|
|
connection.commit()
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
db = DatabaseConnection()
|
|
|
|
with db_transaction(db) as cursor:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :mod:`contextlib` module also has a :func:`nested(mgr1, mgr2, ...)` function
|
|
|
|
that combines a number of context managers so you don't need to write nested
|
|
|
|
':keyword:`with`' statements. In this example, the single ':keyword:`with`'
|
|
|
|
statement both starts a database transaction and acquires a thread lock::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lock = threading.Lock()
|
|
|
|
with nested (db_transaction(db), lock) as (cursor, locked):
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, the :func:`closing(object)` function returns *object* so that it can be
|
|
|
|
bound to a variable, and calls ``object.close`` at the end of the block. ::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
import urllib, sys
|
|
|
|
from contextlib import closing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with closing(urllib.urlopen('http://www.yahoo.com')) as f:
|
|
|
|
for line in f:
|
|
|
|
sys.stdout.write(line)

PEP 3110: Exception-Handling Changes
|
|
|
|
=====================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One error that Python programmers occasionally make
|
|
|
|
is the following::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
except TypeError, ValueError:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The author is probably trying to catch both
|
|
|
|
:exc:`TypeError` and :exc:`ValueError` exceptions, but this code
|
|
|
|
actually does something different: it will catch
|
|
|
|
:exc:`TypeError` and bind the resulting exception object
|
|
|
|
to the local name ``"ValueError"``. The correct code
|
|
|
|
would have specified a tuple::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
try:
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
except (TypeError, ValueError):
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This error is possible because the use of the comma here is ambiguous:
|
|
|
|
does it indicate two different nodes in the parse tree, or a single
|
|
|
|
node that's a tuple.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Python 3.0 changes the syntax to make this unambiguous by replacing
|
|
|
|
the comma with the word "as". To catch an exception and store the
|
|
|
|
exception object in the variable ``exc``, you must write::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
try:

Python 3.0 will only support the use of "as", and therefore interprets
|
|
|
|
the first example as catching two different exceptions. Python 2.6
|
|
|
|
supports both the comma and "as", so existing code will continue to
|
|
|
|
work.

Patch # 1140 (my code, approved by Effbot).
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.

Backport abc.py and isinstance/issubclass overloading to 2.6.
I had to backport test_typechecks.py myself, and make one small change
to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

Add support for asyncore server-side SSL support. This requires
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.

* Changes to the :class:`Exception` interface
|
|
|
|
as dictated by :pep:`352` continue to be made. For 2.6,
|
|
|
|
the :attr:`message` attribute is being deprecated in favor of the
|
|
|
|
:attr:`args` attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When calling a function using the ``**`` syntax to provide keyword
|
|
|
|
arguments, you are no longer required to use a Python dictionary;
|
|
|
|
any mapping will now work::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> def f(**kw):
|
|
|
|
... print sorted(kw)
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
>>> ud=UserDict.UserDict()
|
|
|
|
>>> ud['a'] = 1
|
|
|
|
>>> ud['b'] = 'string'
|
|
|
|
>>> f(**ud)
|
|
|
|
['a', 'b']
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. % Patch 1686487
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The :func:`compile` built-in function now accepts keyword arguments
|
|
|
|
as well as positional parameters. (Contributed by XXX.)

Fix a crasher where Python code managed to infinitely recurse in C code without
ever going back out to Python code in PyObject_Call(). Required introducing a

reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the
recursion check itself.

Patch # 1140 (my code, approved by Effbot).
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.

* The built-in :func:`dir` function now checks for a :meth:`__dir__`
|
|
|
|
method on the objects it receives. This method must return a list
|
|
|
|
of strings containing the names of valid attributes for the object,
|
|
|
|
and lets the object control the value that :func:`dir` produces.
|

* An obscure change: when you use the the :func:`locals` function inside a
|
|
|
|
:keyword:`class` statement, the resulting dictionary no longer returns free

* Internally, a bit is now set in type objects to indicate some of the standard

built-in types. This speeds up checking if an object is a subclass of one of
|
|
|
|
these types. (Contributed by Neal Norwitz.)

The net result of the 2.6 optimizations is that Python 2.6 runs the pystone

* A new data type in the :mod:`collections` module: :class:`NamedTuple(typename,
|
|
|
|
fieldnames)` is a factory function that creates subclasses of the standard tuple
|
|
|
|
whose fields are accessible by name as well as index. For example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
var_type = collections.NamedTuple('variable',
|
|
|
|
'id name type size')
|
|

var = var_type(1, 'frequency', 'int', 4)
|

* A new function in the :mod:`itertools` module: ``izip_longest(iter1, iter2,

:mod:`macfs` module.

to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

* The :func:`os.walk` function now has a "followlinks" parameter. If
|
|
|
|
set to True, it will follow symlinks pointing to directories and
|
|
|
|
visit the directory's contents. For backward compatibility, the
|
|
|
|
parameter's default value is false. Note that the function can fall
|
|
|
|
into an infinite recursion if there's a symlink that points to a
|
|
|
|
parent directory.

* In the :mod:`os.path` module, the :func:`splitext` function
|
|
|
|
has been changed to not split on leading period characters.
|
|
|
|
This produces better results when operating on Unix's dot-files.
|
|
|
|
For example, ``os.path.splitext('.ipython')``
|
|
|
|
now returns ``('.ipython', '')`` instead of ``('', '.ipython')``.

Patch # 1140 (my code, approved by Effbot).
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.

Patch # 1026 by Benjamin Aranguren (with Alex Martelli):
Backport abc.py and isinstance/issubclass overloading to 2.6.
I had to backport test_typechecks.py myself, and make one small change
to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

* The :mod:`smtplib` module now supports SMTP over SSL thanks to the
|
|
|
|
addition of the :class:`SMTP_SSL` class. This class supports an
|
|
|
|
interface identical to the existing :class:`SMTP` class. Both
|
|
|
|
class constructors also have an optional ``timeout`` parameter
|
|
|
|
that specifies a timeout for the initial connection attempt, measured in
|
|
|
|
seconds.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An implementation of the LMTP protocol (:rfc:`2033`) was also added to
|
|
|
|
the module. LMTP is used in place of SMTP when transferring e-mail
|
|
|
|
between agents that don't manage a mail queue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(SMTP over SSL contributed by Monty Taylor; timeout parameter
|
|
|
|
added by Facundo Batista; LMTP implemented by Leif
|
|
|
|
Hedstrom.)

Patch # 1140 (my code, approved by Effbot).
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.

Patch # 1026 by Benjamin Aranguren (with Alex Martelli):
Backport abc.py and isinstance/issubclass overloading to 2.6.
I had to backport test_typechecks.py myself, and make one small change
to abc.py to avoid duplicate work when x.__class__ and type(x) are the
same.

Add support for asyncore server-side SSL support. This requires
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.

* The :mod:`tarfile` module now supports POSIX.1-2001 (pax) and
|
|
|
|
POSIX.1-1988 (ustar) format tarfiles, in addition to the GNU tar
|
|
|
|
format that was already supported. The default format
|
|
|
|
is GNU tar; specify the ``format`` parameter to open a file
|
|
|
|
using a different format::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tar = tarfile.open("output.tar", "w", format=tarfile.PAX_FORMAT)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The new ``errors`` parameter lets you specify an error handling
|
|
|
|
scheme for character conversions: the three standard ways Python can
|
|
|
|
handle errors ``'strict'``, ``'ignore'``, ``'replace'`` , or the
|
|
|
|
special value ``'utf-8'``, which replaces bad characters with their
|
|
|
|
UTF-8 representation. Character conversions occur because the PAX
|
|
|
|
format supports Unicode filenames, defaulting to UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The :meth:`TarFile.add` method now accepts a ``exclude`` argument that's
|
|
|
|
a function that can be used to exclude certain filenames from
|
|
|
|
an archive.
|
|
|
|
The function must take a filename and return true if the file
|
|
|
|
should be excluded or false if it should be archived.
|
|
|
|
The function is applied to both the name initially passed to :meth:`add`
|
|
|
|
and to the names of files in recursively-added directories.
|

Add support for asyncore server-side SSL support. This requires
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.

* An optional ``timeout`` parameter was added to the
|
|
|
|
:func:`urllib.urlopen` function and the
|
|
|
|
:class:`urllib.ftpwrapper` class constructor, as well as the
|
|
|
|
:func:`urllib2.urlopen` function. The parameter specifies a timeout
|
|
|
|
measured in seconds. For example::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> u = urllib2.urlopen("http://slow.example.com", timeout=3)
|
|
|
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error timed out>

Other Changes and Fixes

=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As usual, there were a bunch of other improvements and bugfixes scattered
|
|
|
|
throughout the source tree. A search through the change logs finds there were
|
|
|
|
XXX patches applied and YYY bugs fixed between Python 2.5 and 2.6. Both figures
|
|
|
|
are likely to be underestimates.
|
|
