Issue #5635: Fix running test_sys with tracing enabled.

Python News
ReST-ification of the NEWS file. While the total number of changes are fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection headings. The changes fall into the following categories: * reformatted section and subsection headers. * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)"). * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't (e.g. ``PyCmp_``). * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'"). * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code. * created one table (search for "New codecs").

Issue #7143: get_payload used to strip any trailing newline from a base64 transfer-encoded payload *after* decoding it; it no longer does. email had a special method in utils, _bdecode, specifically to do this, so it must have served a purpose at some point, yet it is clearly wrong per RFC. Fixed with Barry's approval, but no backport. Email package minor version number is bumped, now version 4.0.1. Patch by Joaquin Cuenca Abela.

- Issue #7143: get_payload used to strip any trailing newline from a
base64 transfer-encoded payload *after* decoding it; it no longer does.
This is a behavior change, so email's minor version number is now
bumped, to version 4.0.2, for the 2.7 release.
Issue #1530559: When packing a non-integer with any integer conversion code using struct.pack, attempt to convert to an integer first using the argument's __int__ method (if present). Also raise a DeprecationWarning for any such usage of __int__. This fixes a regression from 2.6, where some (but not all) integer conversion codes already used __int__.

Extension Modules
-----------------
- Issue #1530559: When passing a non-integer argument to struct.pack
with *any* integer format code (one of 'bBhHiIlLqQ'), struct.pack
attempts to use the argument's __int__ method to convert to an
integer before packing. It also produces a DeprecationWarning in
this case. (In Python 2.6, the behaviour was inconsistent: __int__
was used for some integer codes but not for others, and the set of
integer codes for which it was used differed between native packing
and standard packing.)

#2560: remove an unnecessary 'for' loop from my_fgets() in Parser/myreadline.c. Noted by Joseph Armbruster; patch by Jessica McKellar. The original code was 'for (;;) {...}', where ... ended with a 'return -2' statement and did not contain a 'break' or 'continue' statement. Therefore, the body of the loop is always executed once. Once upon a time there was a 'continue' in the loop, but it was removed in rev36346, committed by mwh on Wed Jul 7 17:44:12 2004.

Issue 7970: When email.Parser.Parser parses a MIME message of type message/rfc822 it turns it into an object whose body consists of a list containing a single Message object. HeaderParser, on the other hand, just copies the body as a string. Generator.flatten has a special handler for the message mime type that expected the body to be the one item list. This fails if the message was parsed by HeaderParser. So we now check to see if the body is a string first, and if so just we just emit it.

The silencing of DeprecationWarning was not taking -3 into consideration. Since Py3K warnings are DeprecationWarning by default this was causing -3 to essentially be a no-op. Now DeprecationWarning is only silenced if -3 is not used. Closes issue #7700. Thanks Ezio Melotti and Florent Xicluna for patch help.
2010-01-14 16:00:28 -04:00
- Issue #7319, #7770: Silence DeprecationWarning by default when -3 is not
used.
DeprecationWarning is now silent by default. This was originally suggested by Guido, discussed on the stdlib-sig mailing list, and given the OK by Guido directly to me. What this change essentially means is that Python has taken a policy of silencing warnings that are only of interest to developers by default. This should prevent users from seeing warnings which are triggered by an application being run against a new interpreter before the app developer has a chance to update their code. Closes issue #7319. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou, Ezio Melotti, and Brian Curtin for helping with the issue.

Issue 7835: Shelve's __del__ method calls its close method, and its close method refers to an identifier in the global module namespace. This means that when __del__ is called during interpreter shutdown (if, for example, the calling program still has a pointer to the shelf), sometimes that global identifier would wind up being None, causing mysterious 'ignored' exceptions. This patch checks for the possible None value first before using the global, thus avoiding the error messages.

The majority of the effects of this change are in the extension
modules, but some core functions and methods are affected: notably
the 'chr', 'range' and 'xrange' builtins, and many unicode/str
methods.

- Issue #6108: unicode(exception) and str(exception) should return the same
message when only __str__ (and not __unicode__) is overridden in the subclass.
Issue #6834: replace the implementation for the 'python' and 'pythonw' executables on OSX. The previous implementation used execv(2) to run the real interpreter, which means that you cannot use the arch(1) tool to select the architecture you want to use for a universal build because that only affects the python/pythonw wrapper and not the actual interpreter. The new version uses posix_spawnv with a number of OSX-specific options that ensure that the real interpreter is started using the same CPU architecture as the wrapper, and that means that 'arch -ppc python' now actually works. I've also changed the way that the wrapper looks for the framework: it is now linked to the framework rather than hardcoding the framework path. This should make it easier to provide pythonw support in tools like virtualenv.
2009-12-24 09:30:58 -04:00
- Issue #6834: replace the implementation for the 'python' and 'pythonw'
executables on OSX.
These executables now work properly with the arch(1) command:
``arch -ppc python`` will start a universal binary version of python
in PPC mode (unlike previous releases).
Issue #1680159: unicode coercion during an 'in' operation was masking any errors that might occur during coercion of the left operand and turning them into a TypeError with a message text that was confusing in the given context.

There are three possible levels 0, 1 and 2. If errorlevel is set to 1 or 2 fatal errors (e.g. a full filesystem) are raised as exceptions. If it is set to 0, which is the default value, extraction errors are suppressed, and error messages are written to the debug log instead. But, if the debug log is not activated, which is the default as well, all these errors go unnoticed. The original intention was to imitate GNU tar which tries to extract as many members as possible instead of stopping on the first error. It turns out that this is no good default behaviour for a tar library. This patch simply changes the default value for the errorlevel argument from 0 to 1, so that fatal extraction errors are raised as EnvironmentError exceptions.

Issue #7376: When called with no arguments doctest was running a self-test. Because of a change to the way tracebacks are printed, this self-test was failing.

Fix for issue #7085 On MacOSX 10.6 the CoreFoundation framework must be initialized on the main thread, the constructor function in that framework will cause an SIGABRT when it is called on any other thread. Because a number of extension link (indirectly) to CoreFoundation and the Python core itself didn't the interpreter crashed when importing some extensions, such as _locale, on a secondary thread. This fix ensures that Python is linked to CoreFoundation on OSX, which results in the CoreFoundation constructor being called when Python is loaded. This does not require code changes.

Misc/NEWS entries for issue 7117.
2009-11-19 14:41:49 -04:00
- Issue #7117: repr(x) for a float x returns a result based on the
shortest decimal string that's guaranteed to round back to x under
correct rounding (with round-half-to-even rounding mode).
Previously it gave a string based on rounding x to 17 decimal digits.
repr(x) for a complex number behaves similarly. On platforms where
the correctly-rounded strtod and dtoa code is not supported (see below),
repr is unchanged.
- Issue #7117: On almost all platforms: float-to-string and
string-to-float conversions within Python are now correctly rounded.
Places these conversions occur include: str for floats and complex
numbers; the float and complex constructors; old-style and new-style
numeric formatting; serialization and deserialization of floats and
complex numbers using marshal, pickle and json; parsing of float and
imaginary literals in Python code; Decimal-to-float conversion.
The conversions use a Python-adapted version of David Gay's
well-known dtoa.c, providing correctly-rounded strtod and dtoa C
functions. This code is supported on Windows, and on Unix-like
platforms using gcc, icc or suncc as the C compiler. There may be a
small number of platforms on which correct operation of this code
cannot be guaranteed, so the code is not used: notably, this applies
to platforms where the C double format is not IEEE 754 binary64, and
to platforms on x86 hardware where the x87 FPU is set to 64-bit
precision and Python's configure script is unable to determine how
to change the FPU precision. On these platforms conversions use the
platform strtod and dtoa, as before.
Issue #7117, continued: Change round implementation to use the correctly-rounded string <-> float conversions; this makes sure that the result of the round operation is correctly rounded, and hence displays nicely using the new float repr.

Deprecate contextlib.nested(). The with-statement now provides this functionality directly.
2009-05-28 22:46:48 -03:00
- Added support for multiple context managers in the same with-statement.
Deprecated contextlib.nested() which is no longer needed.
Allow multiple context managers in one with statement, as proposed in http://codereview.appspot.com/53094 and accepted by Guido. The construct is transformed into multiple With AST nodes so that there should be no problems with the semantics.

2009-05-11 12:33:08 -03:00
- Issue #5981: Fix three minor inf/nan issues in float.fromhex:
(1) inf and nan strings with trailing whitespace were incorrectly
rejected; (2) parsing of strings representing infinities and nans
was locale aware; and (3) the interpretation of fromhex('-nan')
didn't match that of float('-nan').
Issue #5920: Changed format.__float__ and complex.__float__ to use a precision of 12 when using the empty presentation type. This more closely matches str()'s behavior and reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to an empty format string. Patch by Mark Dickinson.
2009-05-05 15:26:08 -03:00
- Issue #5920: For float.__format__, change the behavior with the
empty presentation type (that is, not one of 'e', 'f', 'g', or 'n')
to be like 'g' but with at least one decimal point and with a
default precision of 12. Previously, the behavior the same but with
a default precision of 6. This more closely matches str(), and
reduces surprises when adding alignment flags to the empty
presentation type. This also affects the new complex.__format__ in
the same way.
Fix issue 5890: (property subclass shadows __doc__ string) by inserting the __doc__ into the subclass instance __dict__. The fix refactors property_copy to call property_init in such a way that the __doc__ logic is re-executed correctly when getter_doc is 1, thus simplifying property_copy.

2009-04-24 09:46:53 -03:00
- Issue #5816: complex(repr(z)) now recovers z exactly, even when
z involves nans, infs or negative zeros.
Backport of some of the work in r71665 to trunk. This reworks much of int, long, and float __format__(), and it keeps their implementation in sync with py3k. Also added PyOS_double_to_string. This is the "fallback" version that's also available in trunk, and should be kept in sync with that code. I'll add an issue to document PyOS_double_to_string in the C API. There are many internal cleanups. Externally visible changes include: - Implement PEP 378, Format Specifier for Thousands Separator, for floats, ints, and longs. - Issue #5515: 'n' formatting for ints, longs, and floats handles leading zero formatting poorly. - Issue #5772: For float.__format__, don't add a trailing ".0" if we're using no type code and we have an exponent.

Issue #5512: speed up the long division algorithm for Python longs. The basic algorithm remains the same; the most significant speedups come from the following three changes: (1) normalize by shifting instead of multiplying and dividing (2) the old algorithm usually did an unnecessary extra iteration of the outer loop; remove this. As a special case, this means that long divisions with a single-digit result run twice as fast as before. (3) make inner loop much tighter. Various benchmarks show speedups of between 50% and 150% for long integer divisions and modulo operations.

default. Add sys.long_info structseq to provide information about
the internal format.

Issue 5237, Allow auto-numbered replacement fields in str.format() strings. For simple uses for str.format(), this makes the typing easier. Hopfully this will help in the adoption of str.format(). For example: 'The {} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue') You can mix and matcth auto-numbering and named replacement fields: 'The {} is {color}'.format('sky', color='blue') But you can't mix and match auto-numbering and specified numbering: 'The {0} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue') ValueError: cannot switch from manual field specification to automatic field numbering Will port to 3.1.

- Issue #4233: Changed semantic of ``_fileio.FileIO``'s ``close()``
Fixed issue #4233. Changed semantic of _fileio.FileIO's close() method on file objects with closefd=False. The file descriptor is still kept open but the file object behaves like a closed file. The FileIO object also got a new readonly attribute closefd. Approved by Barry Backport of r67106 from the py3k branch

Issue #6123: Fix opening empty archives and files. (Note that an empty archive is not the same as an empty file. An empty archive contains no members and is correctly terminated with an EOF block full of zeros. An empty file contains no data at all.) The problem was that although tarfile was able to create empty archives, it failed to open them raising a ReadError. On the other hand, tarfile opened empty files without error in most read modes and presented them as empty archives. (However, some modes still raised errors: "r|gz" raised ReadError, but "r:gz" worked, "r:bz2" even raised EOFError.) In order to get a more fine-grained control over the various internal error conditions I now split up the HeaderError exception into a number of meaningful sub-exceptions. This makes it easier in the TarFile.next() method to react to the different conditions in the correct way. The visible change in its behaviour now is that tarfile will open empty archives correctly and raise ReadError consistently for empty files.

Took Nick Coghlan's advice about importing warnings globally in logging, to avoid the possibility of race conditions: "This could deadlock if a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module happens to trigger a warning. warnings is pulled into sys.modules as part of the interpreter startup - having a global 'import warnings' shouldn't have any real effect on logging's import time."

captureWarnings(). This change includes a NullHandler which does nothing;
it will be of use to library developers who want to avoid the "No handlers

Issue 5954, PyFrame_GetLineNumber: Most uses of PyCode_Addr2Line (http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=PyCode_Addr2Line) are just trying to get the line number of a specified frame, but there's no way to do that directly. Forcing people to go through the code object makes them know more about the guts of the interpreter than they should need. The remaining uses of PyCode_Addr2Line seem to be getting the line from a traceback (for example, http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#u_9_nDrchrw/pygame-1.7.1release/src/base.c&q=PyCode_Addr2Line), which is replaced by the tb_lineno field. So we may be able to deprecate PyCode_Addr2Line entirely for external use.

PyCode_NewEmpty: Most uses of PyCode_New found by http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=PyCode_New are trying to build an empty code object, usually to put it in a dummy frame object.

When range checking was added to time.strftime() a check was placed on tm_isdst to make sure it fell within [-1, 1] just in case someone implementing strftime() in libc was stupid enough to assume this. Turns out, though, some OSs (e.g. zOS) are stupid enough to use values outside of this range for time structs created by the system itself. So instead of throwing a ValueError, tm_isdst is now normalized before being passed to strftime(). Fixes issue #6823. Thanks Robert Shapiro for diagnosing the problem and contributing an initial patch.

,'*i', '*l', and an x with a __long__ method could be packed by
'q', 'Q', '*q', '*Q'; for x with neither __int__ nor __long__,

Issue #7151: regrtest would generate a JSON failure if there was output to stderr during the test run and it happened to get emitted after the worker thread emitted the result JSON. Now we capture stdout and stderr separately, which avoids that problem. It also means that _all_ stderr output is after all stdout output when we print the test results, but that seems acceptable, since output ordering is not guaranteed anyway. The patch also moves the emit of the test name into the output block generated after the test completes. Otherwise test names and test output/errors were mixed in the terminal display, making it difficult to determine which test generated the output.

thread-safe.
Silence the DeprecationWarning of rfc822 triggered by its importation in mimetools. This has an unfortunate side-effect of potentially not letting any warning about rfc822's deprecation be seen by user-visible code if rfc822 is not imported before mimetools. This is because modules are cached in sys.modules and thus do not have their deprecation triggered more than once. But this silencing would have happened by other code that silences the use of mimetools or rfc822 anyway in the stdlib or user code, and thus seems justified to be done here.
2008-08-14 02:00:03 -03:00
- Silence the DeprecationWarning of rfc822 when it is imported by mimetools
since mimetools itself is deprecated. Because modules are cached, all
subsequent imports of rfc822 will not raise a visible DeprecationWarning.

its methods now allow for items objects that can be converted to
an integer using operator.index().
Issue #3360: Fix incorrect parsing of "020000000000.0".
2008-07-16 06:40:03 -03:00

collections.Hashable to remain meaningful in the presence of the
default hash implementation (object.__hash__), it is now possible
to explicit block inheritance of hash by setting __hash__=None at
the Python level, or tp_hash=PyObject_HashNotImplemented at the C
level.
Fix issue 3221 by emitting a RuntimeWarning instead of raising SystemError when the parent module can't be found during an absolute import (likely due to non-PEP 361 aware code which sets a module level __package__ attribute)
2008-07-13 11:52:36 -03:00
- Issue #3221: Issue a RuntimeWarning instead of raising SystemError if
the parent module cannot be found while performing an absolute import.
This means that an incorrectly defined __package__ attribute will
now only prevent relative imports in that module rather than causing
all imports from that module to fail.

set to a custom object whose write() method happens to install
another file in sys.stdout.
#Issue3088 in-progress: Race condition with instances of classes derived from threading.local: When a thread touches such an object for the first time, a new thread-local __dict__ is created, and the __init__ method is run. But a thread switch can occur here; if the other thread touches the same object, it installs another __dict__; when the first thread resumes, it updates the dictionary of the second... This is the deep cause of the failures in test_multiprocessing involving "managers" objects. Also a 2.5 backport candidate.
2008-06-30 19:42:40 -03:00
- Issue #3088: Corrected a race condition in classes derived from
threading.local: the first member set by a thread could be saved in
another thread's dictionary.
Issue #3004: Minor fix to slice.indices(). slice(-10).indices(9) now returns (0, 0, 1) instead of (0, -1, 1), and slice(None, 10, -1).indices(10) returns (9, 9, -1) instead of (9, 10, -1).
2008-06-20 11:53:43 -03:00
- Issue #3004: Minor change to slice.indices(): the start and stop
arguments are now treated identically, making the behaviour easier
to describe and understand. For example, slice(None, -10,
1).indices(9) now returns (0, 0, 1) instead of (0, -1, 1), and
slice(None, 10, -1).indices(10) returns (9, 9, -1) instead of (9,
10, -1).

Core and Builtins
-----------------
warnings.warn_explicit() did not have the proper TypeErrors in place to prevent bus errors or SystemError being raised. As a side effect of fixing this, a bad DECREF that could be triggered when 'message' and 'category' were both None was fixed. Closes issue 3211. Thanks JP Calderone for the bug report.
2008-06-26 21:31:13 -03:00
- Issue #3211: warnings.warn_explicit() did not guard against its 'registry'
argument being anything other than a dict or None. Also fixed a bug in error
handling when 'message' and 'category' were both set to None, triggering a
bus error.
Issue 3110: Crash with weakref subclass, seen after a "import multiprocessing.reduction" An instance of a weakref subclass can have attributes. If such a weakref holds the only strong reference to the object, deleting the weakref will delete the object. In this case, the callback must not be called, because the ref object is being deleted!

Issue #1798: Add ctypes calling convention that allows safe access of errno. ctypes maintains thread-local storage that has space for two error numbers: private copies of the system 'errno' value and, on Windows, the system error code accessed by the GetLastError() and SetLastError() api functions. Foreign functions created with CDLL(..., use_errno=True), when called, swap the system 'errno' value with the private copy just before the actual function call, and swapped again immediately afterwards. The 'use_errno' parameter defaults to False, in this case 'ctypes_errno' is not touched. On Windows, foreign functions created with CDLL(..., use_last_error=True) or WinDLL(..., use_last_error=True) swap the system LastError value with the ctypes private copy. The values are also swapped immeditately before and after ctypes callback functions are called, if the callbacks are constructed using the new optional use_errno parameter set to True: CFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=TRUE) or WINFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=True). New ctypes functions are provided to access the ctypes private copies from Python: - ctypes.set_errno(value) and ctypes.set_last_error(value) store 'value' in the private copy and returns the previous value. - ctypes.get_errno() and ctypes.get_last_error() returns the current ctypes private copies value.

The default is 32-bit, meaning i386 and ppc. The most useful alternative is 'all', which includes all 4 CPU architectures supported by MacOS X (i386, ppc, x86_64 and ppc64). This includes limited support for the Carbon bindings in 64-bit mode as well, limited because (a) I haven't done extensive testing and (b) a large portion of the Carbon API's aren't available in 64-bit mode anyway.

This is controlled by the configure argument ``--with-universal-archs``:
- ``--with-universal-archs=all``: install 4-way universal

- Issue #1631171: Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C (the
original Python code has been kept as backup). This will allow for
using the 'warning's machinery in such places as the parser where
use of pure Python code is not possible. Both the ``showarning()``
and ``formatwarning()`` gain an optional 'line' argument which is
not called by default for backwards-compatibility reasons. Setting
``warnings.showwarning()`` to an implementation that lacks support
for the ``line`` argument will raise a DeprecationWarning.
Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C. This allows for usage of the 'warnings' code in places where it was previously not possible (e.g., the parser). It could also potentially lead to a speed-up in interpreter start-up if the C version of the code (_warnings) is imported over the use of the Python version in key places. Closes issue #1631171.

update the getpass entry
2008-04-22 05:11:33 -03:00
- The getpass module has been improved on Unix. It now uses /dev/tty
by default and uses stderr instead of stdout. A GetPassWarning is
issued when input echo cannot be controlled.
If sys.stdin is not a tty, fall back to default_getpass after printing a warning instead of failing with a termios.error.

- Issue #2550: The approach used by client/server code for obtaining
ports to listen on in network-oriented tests has been refined in an
effort to facilitate running multiple instances of the entire
regression test suite in parallel without issue.
test_support.bind_port() has been fixed such that it will always
return a unique port -- which wasn't always the case with the
previous implementation, especially if socket options had been set
that affected address reuse (i.e. SO_REUSEADDR, SO_REUSEPORT). The
new implementation of bind_port() will actually raise an exception
if it is passed an AF_INET/SOCK_STREAM socket with either the
SO_REUSEADDR or SO_REUSEPORT socket option set. Furthermore, if
available, bind_port() will set the SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE option on
the socket it's been passed. This currently only applies to
Windows. This option prevents any other sockets from binding to the
host/port we've bound to, thus removing the possibility of the
'non-deterministic' behaviour, as Microsoft puts it, that occurs
when a second SOCK_STREAM socket binds and accepts to a host/port
that's already been bound by another socket. The optional preferred

- Added implementation of copysign, acosh, asinh, atanh and log1p to
the new files Include/pymath.h and Python/pymath.h for platforms
which provide the functions through their libm. The files also
contains several helpers and constants for math.
I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math. The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

#1733757: the interpreter would hang on shutdown, if the function set by sys.settrace calls threading.currentThread. The correction somewhat improves the code, but it was close. Many thanks to the "with" construct, which turns python code into C calls. I wonder if it is not better to sys.settrace(None) just after running the __main__ module and before finalization.

Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.

2008-02-22 23:09:44 -04:00
- Added the future_builtins module, which contains hex() and oct().
These are the PEP 3127 version of these functions, designed to be
compatible with the hex() and oct() builtins from Python 3.0. They
differ slightly in their output formats from the existing, unchanged
Python 2.6 builtins. The expected usage of the future_builtins
module is:
from future_builtins import hex, oct
Trim leading zeros from a floating point exponent, per C99. See issue 1600. As far as I know, this only affects Windows. Add float type 'n' to PyOS_ascii_formatd (see PEP 3101 for 'n' description).
2008-02-20 19:34:22 -04:00
- Issue #1600: Modifed PyOS_ascii_formatd to use at most 2 digit
exponents for exponents with absolute value < 100. Follows C99
standard. This is a change on Windows, which would use 3 digits.
Also, added 'n' to the formats that PyOS_ascii_formatd understands,
so that any alterations it does to the resulting string will be
available in stringlib/formatter.h (for float.__format__).
Added PEP 3101.
2008-02-19 09:21:56 -04:00
- Implemented PEP 3101, Advanced String Formatting. This adds a new
builtin format(); a format() method for str and unicode; a
__format__() method to object, str, unicode, int, long, float, and
datetime; the class string.Formatter; and the C API
PyObject_Format().

- Patch #1953: Added ``sys._compact_freelists()`` and the C API
functions ``PyInt_CompactFreeList`` and ``PyFloat_CompactFreeList``
Patch #1953 I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers. The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache

Partial port of r59682 from py3k. On Windows, when import fails to load a dll module, the message says "error code 193" instead of a more informative text. It turns out that FormatMessage needs additional parameters for some error codes. For example: 193 means "%1 is not a valid Win32 application". Since it is impossible to know which parameter to pass, we use FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS to get the raw message, which is still better than the number.

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.

- Issue #1265: Fix a problem with sys.settrace, if the tracing
function uses a generator expression when at the same time the
executed code is closing a paused generator.
Merge from py3k branch: Correction for issue1265 (pdb bug with "with" statement). 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. Backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.

from C code. Nor did object's tp_str consider that a type's tp_str
could do something that could lead to an inifinite recursion.
Py_ReprEnter() and Py_EnterRecursiveCall(), respectively, fixed the
issues.
tuple.__repr__ did not consider a reference loop as it is not possible from Python code; but it is possible from C. object.__str__ had the issue of not expecting a type to doing something within it's tp_str implementation that could trigger an infinite recursion, but it could in C code.. Both found thanks to BaseException and how it handles its repr. Closes issue #1686386. Thanks to Thomas Herve for taking an initial stab at coming up with a solution.

Forward-port of r52136,52138: a review of overflow-detecting code. * 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...

"Conceptual" merge of rev 51711 from the 2.5 branch. i_divmod(): As discussed on Python-Dev, changed the overflow checking to live happily with recent gcc optimizations that assume signed integer arithmetic never overflows. This differs from the corresponding change on the 2.5 and 2.4 branches, using a less obscure approach, but one that /may/ tickle platform idiocies in their definitions of LONG_MIN. The 2.4 + 2.5 change avoided introducing a dependence on LONG_MIN, at the cost of substantially goofier code.
2006-09-04 23:18:09 -03:00
- Overflow checking code in integer division ran afoul of new gcc
optimizations. Changed to be more standard-conforming.
Patch #1542451: disallow continue anywhere under a finally I'm undecided if this should be backported to 2.5 or 2.5.1. Armin suggested to wait (I'm of the same opinion). Thomas W thinks it's fine to go in 2.5.

Bug #1520864 (again): unpacking singleton tuples in list comprehensions and generator expressions (x for x, in ... ) works again. Sigh, I only fixed for loops the first time, not list comps and genexprs too. I couldn't find any more unpacking cases where there is a similar bug lurking. This code should be refactored to eliminate the duplication. I'm sure the listcomp/genexpr code can be refactored. I'm not sure if the for loop can re-use any of the same code though. Will backport to 2.5 (the only place it matters).

#1750076: Debugger did not step on every iteration of a while statement. The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain an entry for the beginning of the loop. Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger: in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries. However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only one 'line' event. The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.

- Bug #1290505: time.strptime's internal cache of locale information
is now properly recreated when the locale is changed.
time.strptime's caching of its locale object was being recreated when the locale changed but not used during the function call it was recreated during. The test in this checkin is untested (OS X does not have the proper locale support for me to test), although the fix for the bug this deals with was tested by the OP (#1290505). Once the buildbots verify the test at least doesn't fail it becomes a backport candidate.

- Patch #1685563: remove (don't add) duplicate paths in
distutils.MSVCCompiler.
SF #1685563, MSVCCompiler creates redundant and long PATH strings If MSVCCompiler.initialize() was called multiple times, the path would get duplicated. On Windows, this is a problem because the path is limited to 4k. There's no benefit in adding a path multiple times, so prevent that from occuring. We also normalize the path before checking for duplicates so things like /a and /a/ won't both be stored. Will backport.

- Added support for the POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format to
tarfile.py. Extended and cleaned up the test suite. Added a new
testtar.tar.
This is the implementation of POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format read/write support. The TarInfo class now contains all necessary logic to process and create tar header data which has been moved there from the TarFile class. The fromtarfile() method was added. The new path and linkpath properties are aliases for the name and linkname attributes in correspondence to the pax naming scheme. The TarFile constructor and classmethods now accept a number of keyword arguments which could only be set as attributes before (e.g. dereference, ignore_zeros). The encoding and pax_headers arguments were added for pax support. There is a new tarinfo keyword argument that allows using subclassed TarInfo objects in TarFile. The boolean TarFile.posix attribute is deprecated, because now three tar formats are supported. Instead, the desired format for writing is specified using the constants USTAR_FORMAT, GNU_FORMAT and PAX_FORMAT as the format keyword argument. This change affects TarInfo.tobuf() as well. The test suite has been heavily reorganized and partially rewritten. A new testtar.tar was added that contains sample data in many formats from 4 different tar programs. Some bugs and quirks that also have been fixed: Directory names do no longer have a trailing slash in TarInfo.name or TarFile.getnames(). Adding the same file twice does not create a hardlink file member. The TarFile constructor does no longer need a name argument. The TarFile._mode attribute was renamed to mode and contains either 'r', 'w' or 'a'.

- Have the encoding package's search function dynamically import using
absolute import semantics.
Update the encoding package's search function to use absolute imports when calling __import__. This helps make the expected search locations for encoding modules be more explicit. One could use an explicit value for __path__ when making the call to __import__ to force the exact location searched for encodings. This would give the most strict search path possible if one is worried about malicious code being imported. The unfortunate side-effect of that is that if __path__ was modified on 'encodings' on purpose in a safe way it would not be picked up in future __import__ calls.

Backport of several functions from Python 3.0 to 2.6 including PyUnicode_FromString, PyUnicode_Format and PyLong_From/AsSsize_t. The functions are partly required for the backport of the bytearray type and _fileio module. They should also make it easier to port C to 3.0. First chapter of the Python 3.0 io framework back port: _fileio The next step depends on a working bytearray type which itself depends on a backport of the nwe buffer API.

Patch #1019808 from Federico Schwindt: Return correct socket error when a default timeout has been set, by using getsockopt() to get the error condition (instead of trying another connect() call, which seems to be a Linuxism). 2.5 bugfix candidate, assuming no one reports any problems with this change.

Bug #1599782: Fix segfault on bsddb.db.DB().type(). 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.

- Added test.test_support.TransientResource which is a context manager
to surround calls to resources that are not guaranteed to work even
if test.test_support.requires says that the resource should exist.
Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource. It's a context manager to surround calls to resources that may or may not be available. Specifying the expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available prevents overly broad catching of exceptions. This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches. It would probably be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

ReST-ification of the NEWS file. While the total number of changes are fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection headings. The changes fall into the following categories: * reformatted section and subsection headers. * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)"). * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't (e.g. ``PyCmp_``). * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'"). * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code. * created one table (search for "New codecs").
