merge the io-c branch: C implementation of the io module The main io module now uses the C implementation. The Python one still exists in Lib/_pyio.py for ease of testing new features and usefulness to other implementers. The rewrite was done by Antoine Pitrou and Amaury Forgeot d'Arc. I was slightly helpful at the end. :) Following are the log messages from the io-c branch: Merged revisions 68683-68685,68687-68689,68693,68704,68741-68743,68745,68747,68752-68754,68756,68758,68812,68816-68817,68820-68822,68824-68825,68828,68876-68877,69037,69044,69104,69115,69194,69626-69629,69636,69638,69641-69642,69644-69654,69656-69661,69671,69677,69812-69815,69817,69827-69830,69839,69841-69845,69848,69850,69852,69854,69860,69865-69866,69868,69872-69873,69885,69888,69891-69893,69911,69913-69916,69963,70033,70035,70038,70041-70048,70067-70070,70075,70112,70133,70135,70140 via svnmerge from svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/branches/io-c ........ r68683 | antoine.pitrou | 2009-01-17 17:13:48 -0600 (Sat, 17 Jan 2009) | 3 lines Merge in changes from the io-c sandbox.

2009-03-03 20:14:51 -04:00
- The io module has been reimplemented in C for speed.
2009-03-03 06:52:49 -04:00
- Give dict views an informative __repr__.
- Issue #5247: Improve error message when unknown format codes are
used when using str.format() with str, int, and float arguments.
- Issue #5249: time.strftime returned malformed string when format string
contained non ascii character on windows.
- Issue #4626: compile(), exec(), and eval() ignore the coding cookie if the
source has already been decoded into str.
- Issue #5186: Reduce hash collisions for objects with no __hash__ method by
rotating the object pointer by 4 bits to the right.
- Issue #4575: Fix Py_IS_INFINITY macro to work correctly on x87 FPUs:
it now forces its argument to double before testing for infinity.
- Issue #5137: Make len() correctly raise a TypeError when a __len__ method
returns a non-number type.
2009-02-08 11:00:52 -04:00
- Issue #5182: Removed memoryview.__str__.
- Issue #1717: Removed builtin cmp() function, dropped tp_compare
slot, the C API functions PyObject_Compare and PyUnicode_Compare and
the type definition cmpfunc. The tp_compare slot has been renamed
to tp_reserved, and is reserved for future usage.
- Issue 1242657: the __len__() and __length_hint__() calls in several tools
were suppressing all exceptions. These include list() and bytearray().
- Issue #4707: round(x, n) now returns an integer if x is an integer.
Previously it returned a float.
- Issue #4753: By enabling a configure option named '--with-computed-gotos'
on compilers that support it (notably: gcc, SunPro, icc), the bytecode
evaluation loop is compiled with a new dispatch mechanism which gives
speedups of up to 20%, depending on the system, on various benchmarks.
- Issue #4874: Most builtin decoders now reject unicode input.
- Issue #4842: Don't allow trailing 'L' when constructing an integer
from a string.
- Issue #4991: os.fdopen now raises an OSError for invalid file descriptors.
- Issue #4838: When a module is deallocated, free the memory backing the
optional module state data.
- Issue #4910: Rename nb_long slot to nb_reserved, and change its
type to (void *).
- Issue #4935: The overflow checking code in the expandtabs() method common
to str, bytes and bytearray could be optimized away by the compiler, letting
the interpreter segfault instead of raising an error.
- Issue #3720: Fix a crash when an iterator modifies its class and removes its
__next__ method.
- Issue #4910: Builtin int() function and PyNumber_Long/PyNumber_Int API
function no longer attempt to call the __long__ slot to convert an object
to an integer. Only the __int__ and __trunc__ slots are examined.
- Issue #4893: Use NT threading on CE.
- Issue #4915: Port sysmodule to Windows CE.
- Issue #4868: utf-8, utf-16 and latin1 decoding are now 2x to 4x faster. The
common cases are optimized thanks to a dedicated fast path and a moderate
amount of loop unrolling.
- Issue #4074: Change the criteria for doing a full garbage collection (i.e.
collecting the oldest generation) so that allocating lots of objects without
destroying them does not show quadratic performance. Based on a proposal by
Martin von Löwis at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/080579.html.
- Issue #4604: Some objects of the I/O library could still be used after
having been closed (for instance, a read() call could return some
previously buffered data). Patch by Dmitry Vasiliev.
- Issue #4705: Fix the -u ("unbuffered binary stdout and stderr") command-line
flag to work properly. Furthermore, when specifying -u, the text stdout
and stderr streams have line-by-line buffering enabled (the default being
to buffer arbitrary chunks of data).
- The internal table, _PyLong_DigitValue, is now an array of unsigned chars
instead of ints (reducing its size from 4 to 8 times thereby reducing
Python's overall memory).
- Issue #1180193: When importing a module from a .pyc (or .pyo) file with
an existing .py counterpart, override the co_filename attributes of all
code objects if the original filename is obsolete (which can happen if the
file has been renamed, moved, or if it is accessed through different paths).
Patch by Ziga Seilnacht and Jean-Paul Calderone.
- Issue #4580: Fix slicing of memoryviews when the item size is greater than
one byte. Also fixes the meaning of len() so that it returns the number of
items, rather than the size in bytes.
- Issue #4075: Use OutputDebugStringW in Py_FatalError.
- Issue #4747: When the terminal does not use utf-8, executing a script with
non-ascii characters in its name could fail with a "SyntaxError: None" error.
- Issue #4797: IOError.filename was not set when _fileio.FileIO failed to open
file with `bytes' filename on Windows.
- Issue #3680: Reference cycles created through a dict, set or deque iterator
did not get collected.
- Issue #4701: PyObject_Hash now implicitly calls PyType_Ready on types
where the tp_hash and tp_dict slots are both NULL.
- Issue #4759: None is now allowed as the first argument of
bytearray.translate(). It was always allowed for bytes.translate().
- Added test case to ensure attempts to read from a file opened for writing
fail.
- Issue #3106: Speedup some comparisons (str/str and int/int).
- Issue #2183: Simplify and optimize bytecode for list, dict and set
comprehensions. Original patch for list comprehensions by Neal Norwitz.
- Issue #2467: gc.DEBUG_STATS reported invalid elapsed times. Also, always
print elapsed times, not only when some objects are uncollectable /
unreachable. Original patch by Neil Schemenauer.
- Issue #3439: Add a bit_length method to int.
- Issue #2173: When getting device encoding, check that return value of
nl_langinfo is not the empty string. This was causing silent build
failures on OS X.
- Issue #4597: Fixed several opcodes that weren't always propagating
exceptions.
- Issue #4589: Fixed exception handling when the __exit__ function of a
context manager returns a value that cannot be converted to a bool.
- Issue #4445: Replace "sizeof(PyBytesObject)" with
"offsetof(PyBytesObject, ob_sval) + 1" when allocating memory for
bytes instances. On a typical machine this saves 3 bytes of memory
(on average) per allocation of a bytes instance.
- Issue #4533: File read operation was dreadfully slow due to a slowly
growing read buffer. Fixed by using the same growth rate algorithm as
Python 2.x.
- Issue #4509: Various issues surrounding resize of bytearray objects to
which there are buffer exports (e.g. memoryview instances).
- 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``.
- Issue #4569: Interpreter crash when mutating a memoryview with an item size
larger than 1.
- Issue #4748: Lambda generators no longer return a value.
- The re.sub(), re.subn() and re.split() functions now accept a flags parameter.

--without-threads argument. When this occurs, _multiprocessing will
be disabled, and not compiled.
- Issue #5008: When a file is opened in append mode with the new IO library,
do an explicit seek to the end of file (so that e.g. tell() returns the

traditional 2.x file object.
- Issue #5013: Fixed a bug in FileHandler which occurred when the delay
parameter was set.
- Issue #4842: Always append a trailing 'L' when pickling longs using

function. Original patch by Thomas Heller.
- Issue #3767: Convert Tk object to string in tkColorChooser.
- Issue #3248: Allow placing ScrolledText in a PanedWindow.
- Issue #4444: Allow assertRaises() to be used as a context handler, so that
the code under test can be written inline if more practical.
- Issue #4739: Add pydoc help topics for symbols, so that e.g. help('@')
works as expected in the interactive environment.
- Issue #4756: zipfile.is_zipfile() now supports file-like objects. Patch by
Gabriel Genellina.
- Issue #4574: reading an UTF16-encoded text file crashes if \r on 64-char
boundary.
- Issue #4223: inspect.getsource() will now correctly display source code
for packages loaded via zipimport (or any other conformant PEP 302
loader). Original patch by Alexander Belopolsky.
- Issue #4201: pdb can now access and display source code loaded via
zipimport (or any other conformant PEP 302 loader). Original patch by
Alexander Belopolsky.
- Issue #4197: doctests in modules loaded via zipimport (or any other PEP
302 conformant loader) will now work correctly in most cases (they
are still subject to the constraints that exist for all code running
from inside a module loaded via a PEP 302 loader and attempting to
perform IO operations based on __file__). Original patch by
Alexander Belopolsky.
- Issues #4082 and #4512: Add runpy support to zipimport in a manner that
allows backporting to maintenance branches. Original patch by

support unusual filenames (such as those containing semi-colons) in
Content-Disposition headers.
- Issue #4384: Added logging integration with warnings module using
captureWarnings(). This change includes a NullHandler which does nothing;
it will be of use to library developers who want to avoid the "No handlers
could be found for logger XXX" message which can appear if the library user
doesn't configure logging.
