- Bug #1683368: The object.__init__() and object.__new__() methods are now stricter in rejecting excess arguments. The only time when either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the other one is. For backwards compatibility, when both are overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k warning later). When merging this into 3.0, the warnings should become errors. Note: without the change to string.py, lots of spurious warnings happen. What's going on there?

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").

__float__() method. Therefore, the functions in the cmath module now
can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method.
Patch #1623563: allow __class__ assignment for classes with __slots__. The old and the new class are still required to have the same slot names, but the order in which they are specified is not relevant.
2007-03-16 08:59:38 -03:00
- Patch #1623563: allow __class__ assignment for classes with __slots__.

Patch #1462488: prevent a segfault in object_reduce_ex() by splitting the implementation for __reduce__ and __reduce_ex__ into two separate functions. Fixes bug #931877. Will backport.
2007-03-15 08:44:55 -03:00
- Patch #1462488: Python no longer segfaults when ``object.__reduce_ex__()``
is called with an object that is faking its type.
Patch #1680015: Don't modify __slots__ tuple if it contains an unicode name. Remove a reference leak that happened if the name could not be converted to string. Will backport.

- Bug #1678647: write a newline after printing an exception in any
case, even when converting the value to a string failed.
Backport from Py3k branch: Patch #1591665: implement the __dir__() special function lookup in PyObject_Dir. Had to change a few bits of the patch because classobjs and __methods__ are still in Py2.6.
2007-03-12 10:17:36 -03:00
- The dir() function has been extended to call the __dir__() method on
its argument, if it exists. If not, it will work like before. This allows
customizing the output of dir() in the presence of a __getattr__().

- Bug #1653736: Properly discard third argument to slot_nb_inplace_power.
No more raising of string exceptions! The next step of PEP 352 (for 2.6) causes raising a string exception to trigger a TypeError. Trying to catch a string exception raises a DeprecationWarning. References to string exceptions has been removed from the docs since they are now just an error.
2007-01-30 17:34:36 -04:00
- PEP 352: Raising a string exception now triggers a TypeError. Attempting to
catch a string exception raises DeprecationWarning.
Fix crasher for when an object's __del__ creates a new weakref to itself. Patch only fixes new-style classes; classic classes still buggy. Closes bug #1377858. Already backported.

- Bug #1576657: when setting a KeyError for a tuple key, make sure that
the tuple isn't used as the "exception arguments tuple".
Fix bug #1565514, SystemError not raised on too many nested blocks. It seems like this should be a different error than SystemError, but I don't have any great ideas and SystemError was raised in 2.4 and earlier. Will backport.
2006-10-28 18:19:07 -03:00
- Bug #1565514, SystemError not raised on too many nested blocks.
WindowsError.str should display the windows error code, not the posix error code; with test. Fixes #1576174. Will backport to release25-maint.

2006-10-08 04:11:54 -03:00
- Bug #1569998: break inside a try statement (outside a loop) is now
recognized and rejected.
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...
2006-10-04 09:17:45 -03:00
- list.pop(x) accepts any object x following the __index__ protocol.
- Fix some leftovers from the conversion from int to Py_ssize_t
(relevant to strings and sequences of more than 2**31 items).
- A number of places, including integer negation and absolute value,
were fixed to not rely on undefined behaviour of the C compiler
anymore.
Fix integer negation and absolute value to not rely on undefined behaviour of the C compiler anymore. Will backport to 2.5 and 2.4.

Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)). These tests should be improved. Hopefully this fixes variations when flipping back and forth between fpdef and fplist. Backport candidate.
2006-09-22 05:18:10 -03:00
- Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)).
Fix %zd string formatting on Mac OS X so it prints negative numbers. In addition to testing positive numbers, verify negative numbers work in configure. In order to avoid compiler warnings on OS X 10.4, also change the order of the check for the format character to use (PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T) in the sprintf format for Py_ssize_t. This patch changes PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T from "" to "l" if it wasn't defined at configure time. Need to verify the buildbot results. Backport candidate (if everyone thinks this patch can't be improved).
2006-09-22 05:16:26 -03:00
- Fix %zd string formatting on Mac OS X so it prints negative numbers.
Allow exceptions to be directly sliced again (e.g., ``BaseException(1,2,3)[0:2]``). Discovered in Python 2.5.0 by Thomas Heller and reported to python-dev. This should be backported to 2.5 .
2006-09-20 15:43:13 -03:00
- Allow exception instances to be directly sliced again.
Accidentally didn't commit Misc/NEWS entry on when __unicode__() was removed from exceptions.
2006-09-20 15:34:28 -03:00
- Bug #1551432: Exceptions do not define an explicit __unicode__ method. This
allows calling unicode() on exceptions classes directly to succeed.
Forward-port of rev. 51857: Building with HP's cc on HP-UX turned up a couple of problems. _PyGILState_NoteThreadState was declared as static inconsistently. Make it static as it's not necessary outside of this module. Some tests failed because errno was reset to 0. (I think the tests that failed were at least: test_fcntl and test_mailbox). Ensure that errno doesn't change after a call to Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS. This only affected debug builds.
2006-09-11 06:38:35 -03:00
- Make _PyGILState_NoteThreadState() static, it was not used anywhere
outside of pystate.c and should not be necessary.
Fix missing import of the types module in logging.config.
2006-09-06 17:05:58 -03:00
- Bug #1542051: Exceptions now correctly call PyObject_GC_UnTrack.

2006-09-06 03:09:31 -03:00
- Bug #1550983: emit better error messages for erroneous relative
imports (if not in package and if beyond toplevel package).
"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.

- The return tuple from str.rpartition(sep) is (tail, sep, head) where
head is the original string if sep was not found.
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).

- Bug #1520864: unpacking singleton tuples in list comprehensions and

Fix crash in exec when unicode filename can't be decoded. I can't think of an easy way to test this behavior. It only occurs when the file system default encoding and the interpreter default encoding are different, such that you can open the file but not decode its name.

Add news about changes to metaclasses and __bases__ error checking.
2007-02-27 14:33:31 -04:00
- Add new requirements for metaclasses. 1) If type or a subclass of type
occurs in __bases__, it must occur before any non-type bases, e.g.
before regular classes. 2) If you assign to __bases__, you may not
change the metaclass. Many more illegal assignments to __bases__
are now checked and raise TypeErrors. This changed fixed at least
one known crash.

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'.
2007-03-13 07:47:19 -03:00
- Added support for the POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format to tarfile.py. Extended
and cleaned up the test suite. Added a new testtar.tar.

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.
2007-02-15 18:54:39 -04:00
- Have the encoding package's search function dynamically import using absolute
import semantics.

Fix time.strptime's %U support. Basically rewrote the algorithm to be more generic so that one only has to shift certain values based on whether the week was specified to start on Monday or Sunday.

- Patch #1559413: Fix test_cmd_line if sys.executable contains a space.
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).
2007-03-08 19:58:11 -04:00
- 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.

Slightly revised version of patch #1538956: Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and != compares of Unicode and other objects with a new UnicodeWarning. All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions. Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left untouched.
2006-08-14 07:55:19 -03:00
Instead, the equal (==) and unequal (!=) comparison operators will
now issue a UnicodeWarning and interpret the two objects as
unequal. The UnicodeWarning can be filtered as desired using
the warning framework, e.g. silenced completely, turned into an
exception, logged, etc.
Note that compare operators other than equal and unequal will still
raise UnicodeDecodeError exceptions as they've always done.
Patch #1538606, Patch to fix __index__() clipping. I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected. I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.

Bug #1191458: tracing over for loops now produces a line event on each iteration. I'm not positive this is the best way to handle this. I'm also not sure that there aren't other cases where the lnotab is generated incorrectly. It would be great if people that use pdb or tracing could test heavily. Also: * Remove dead/duplicated code that wasn't used/necessary because we already handled the docstring prior to entering the loop. * add some debugging code into the compiler (#if 0'd out).

"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.

Apply the patch #1532975 plus ideas from the patch #1533481. ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented '_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in the type's stgdict. In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if other conversions are not possible. This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended. Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.

Bug #1521947: possible bug in mystrtol.c with recent gcc. In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol() did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed longs. Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now, and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then. Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN and/or LONG_MAX now. For that reason, I don't recommend backporting this. Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference -- can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything on my boxes. Silent change: PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff in case of overflow. Now it returns LONG_MAX. They're the same only on 32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).

"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.

tuple pre-2.4.

- Patch #1220874: Update the binhex module for Mach-O.
More RFC 2231 improvements for the email 4.0 package. As Mark Sapiro rightly points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the same way and that isn't correct. This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are %-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are any encoded params in the segments. If there are no encoded params then the RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts. Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in some cases. For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method (with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string. I don't believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate between the two. (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/ without breaking code.) Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.
2006-07-21 11:51:07 -03:00
- The email package has improved RFC 2231 support, specifically for
recognizing the difference between encoded (name*0*=<blah>) and non-encoded
(name*0=<blah>) parameter continuations. This may change the types of
values returned from email.message.Message.get_param() and friends.
Specifically in some cases where non-encoded continuations were used,
get_param() used to return a 3-tuple of (None, None, string) whereas now it
will just return the string (since non-encoded continuations don't have
charset and language parts).
Also, whereas % values were decoded in all parameter continuations, they are
now only decoded in encoded parameter parts.

Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py, inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function. This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module. These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types. The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates. I commit these changes now under these guiding principles: 1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0". 2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. 3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a forcing function. :) Windows build patches will follow.

Fix #1521375. When running with root priviledges, 'gcc -o /dev/null' did overwrite /dev/null. Use a temporary file instead of /dev/null.
2006-07-13 14:01:14 -03:00
/dev/null in certain cases; this is now fixed.
Fix #1467450: ctypes now uses RTLD_GLOBAL by default on OSX 10.3 to load shared libraries.
2006-07-12 05:43:47 -03:00
- Bug #1467450: On Mac OS X 10.3, RTLD_GLOBAL is now used as the

A misspelled preprocessor symbol caused ctypes to be always compiled without thread support. Replaced WITH_THREADS with WITH_THREAD.
2006-07-13 06:53:47 -03:00
- Because of a misspelled preprocessor symbol, ctypes was always
compiled without thread support; this is now fixed.

Patch #1529686: also run test_email_codecs with regrtest.py.
2006-07-28 15:31:39 -03:00
- Patch #1529686: The standard tests ``test_defaultdict``, ``test_iterlen``,

2006-07-08 02:31:37 -03:00
- Bug #1519018: 'as' is now validated properly in import statements.
On 64 bit systems, int literals that use less than 64 bits are now ints rather than longs. This also fixes the test for eval(-sys.maxint - 1).
2006-07-09 19:14:42 -03:00
- On 64 bit systems, int literals that use less than 64 bits are

After approval from Anthony, merge the tim-current_frames branch into the trunk. This adds a new sys._current_frames() function, which returns a dict mapping thread id to topmost thread stack frame.
2006-07-10 18:08:24 -03:00
- New function ``sys._current_frames()`` returns a dict mapping thread
id to topmost thread stack frame. This is for expert use, and is
especially useful for debugging application deadlocks. The functionality
was previously available in Fazal Majid's ``threadframe`` extension
module, but it wasn't possible to do this in a wholly threadsafe way from
an extension.

Add NEWS entries for the ImportWarning change and documentation update
2006-07-06 10:47:18 -03:00
- warnings.py now ignores ImportWarning by default
Fix bug in passing tuples to string.Template. All other values (with working str() or repr()) would work, just not multi-value tuples. Probably not a backport candidate, since it changes the behaviour of passing a single-element tuple: >>> string.Template("$foo").substitute(dict(foo=(1,))) '(1,)' versus '1'
2006-07-05 08:03:49 -03:00
- string.Template() now correctly handles tuple-values. Previously,
multi-value tuples would raise an exception and single-value tuples would
be treated as the value they contain, instead.
Patch #825417: Fix timeout processing in expect, read_until. Will backport to 2.4.
2006-07-03 10:01:35 -03:00

document recent bugfixes in sgmllib
2006-06-28 23:57:48 -03:00
- Bug #1504333: Make sgmllib support angle brackets in quoted
attribute values.
- Bug #853506: Fix IPv6 address parsing in unquoted attributes in
sgmllib ('[' and ']' were not accepted).

- Fix a bug in the turtle module's end_fill function.
'warning's was improperly requiring that a command-line Warning category be both a subclass of Warning and a subclass of types.ClassType. The latter is no longer true thanks to new-style exceptions. Closes bug #1510580. Thanks to AMK for the test.
2006-06-22 13:49:14 -03:00
- Bug #1510580: The 'warnings' module improperly required that a Warning
category be either a types.ClassType and a subclass of Warning. The proper
check is just that it is a subclass with Warning as the documentation states.
fix [ 1509132 ] compiler module builds incorrect AST for TryExceptFinally
2006-06-21 14:45:17 -03:00
- The compiler module now correctly compiles the new try-except-finally
statement (bug #1509132).
Copy the wsgiref package during make install.
2006-06-22 03:30:50 -03:00

Fix bug #1512695: cPickle.loads could crash if it was interrupted with a KeyboardInterrupt since PyTuple_Pack was passed a NULL. Will backport.
2006-06-28 03:28:31 -03:00
Extension Modules
-----------------
SF bug 1524317: configure --without-threads fails to build Moved the code for _PyThread_CurrentFrames() up, so it's no longer in a huge "#ifdef WITH_THREAD" block (I didn't realize it /was/ in one). Changed test_sys's test_current_frames() so it passes with or without thread supported compiled in. Note that test_sys fails when Python is compiled without threads, but for an unrelated reason (the old test_exit() fails with an indirect ImportError on the `thread` module). There are also other unrelated compilation failures without threads, in extension modules (like ctypes); at least the core compiles again. Do we really support --without-threads? If so, there are several problems remaining.
2006-07-18 21:03:19 -03:00
- #1494314: Fix a regression with high-numbered sockets in 2.4.3. This
means that select() on sockets > FD_SETSIZE (typically 1024) work again.
The patch makes sockets use poll() internally where available.

2006-07-10 23:04:09 -03:00
Moved the ctypes news entries from the 'Library' section into the 'Extension Modules' section where they belong, probably. This destroyes the original order of the news entries, don't know if that is important or not.
2006-07-10 08:17:37 -03:00
- Assigning None to pointer type fields in ctypes structures possible
overwrote the wrong fields, this is fixed now.
- Fixed a segfault in _ctypes when ctypes.wintypes were imported
on non-Windows platforms.
- Bug #1518190: The ctypes.c_void_p constructor now accepts any
integer or long, without range checking.
- Patch #1517790: It is now possible to use custom objects in the ctypes
foreign function argtypes sequence as long as they provide a from_param
method, no longer is it required that the object is a ctypes type.
- The '_ctypes' extension module now works when Python is configured
with the --without-threads option.
Correct arithmetic in access on Win32. Fixes #1513646.
2006-07-02 15:44:00 -03:00
- Bug #1513646: os.access on Windows now correctly determines write
access, again.
Fix bug #1512695: cPickle.loads could crash if it was interrupted with a KeyboardInterrupt since PyTuple_Pack was passed a NULL. Will backport.
2006-06-28 03:28:31 -03:00
- Bug #1512695: cPickle.loads could crash if it was interrupted with

Add a NEWS entry for a recent pyexpat fix
2006-07-06 03:45:08 -03:00
- Bug #1296433: parsing XML with a non-default encoding and
a CharacterDataHandler could crash the interpreter in pyexpat.

2006-07-10 18:08:24 -03:00
- 'configure' now detects the zlib library the same way as distutils.
NEWS entry for r47267: fixing configure's zlib probing.
2006-07-06 07:48:28 -03:00
Previously, the slight difference could cause compilation errors of the
'zlib' module on systems with more than one version of zlib.
Properly quote compileall and Lib paths in case TARGETDIR has a space.
2006-07-06 04:05:21 -03:00
- The MSI compileall step was fixed to also support a TARGETDIR
with spaces in it.
Add sqlite3.dll to the DLLs component, not to the TkDLLs component. Fixes #1517388.
2006-07-06 03:55:58 -03:00
- Bug #1517388: sqlite3.dll is now installed on Windows independent
of Tcl/Tk.

fix [ 1509132 ] compiler module builds incorrect AST for TryExceptFinally
2006-06-21 14:45:17 -03:00
Add new utility function, reap_children(), to test_support. This should be called at the end of each test that spawns children (perhaps it should be called from regrtest instead?). This will hopefully prevent some of the unexplained failures in the buildbots (hppa and alpha) during tests that spawn children. The problems were not reproducible. There were many zombies that remained at the end of several tests. In the worst case, this shouldn't cause any more problems, though it may not help either. Time will tell.
2006-06-29 01:10:08 -03:00
Tests
-----
- Call os.waitpid() at the end of tests that spawn child processes in order
to minimize resources (zombies).

Core and builtins
-----------------
Add news entry about error msg improvement.
2006-06-19 03:35:54 -03:00
- Patch #1507676: Error messages returned by invalid abstract object operations
(such as iterating over an integer) have been improved and now include the
type of the offending object to help with debugging.
If a classic class defined a __coerce__() method that just returned its two arguments in reverse, the interpreter would infinitely recourse trying to get a coercion that worked. So put in a recursion check after a coercion is made and the next call to attempt to use the coerced values. Fixes bug #992017 and closes crashers/coerce.py .
2006-06-13 18:46:41 -03:00
- Bug #992017: A classic class that defined a __coerce__() method that returned
its arguments swapped would infinitely recurse and segfault the interpreter.
Fix the socket tests so they can be run concurrently. Backport candidate
2006-06-11 23:13:21 -03:00
- Fix the socket tests so they can be run concurrently.
Get rid of f_restricted too. Doc the other 4 ints that were already removed at the NeedForSpeed sprint.
2006-06-11 23:11:18 -03:00
- Removed 5 integers from C frame objects (PyFrameObject).
Added entry for fileConfig() bugfix.
2006-07-01 07:45:20 -03:00
f_nlocals, f_ncells, f_nfreevars, f_stack_size, f_restricted.
Get rid of f_restricted too. Doc the other 4 ints that were already removed at the NeedForSpeed sprint.
2006-06-11 23:11:18 -03:00
An object with __call__ as an attribute, when called, will have that attribute checked for __call__ itself, and will continue to look until it finds an object without the attribute. This can lead to an infinite recursion. Closes bug #532646, again. Will be backported.
2006-06-09 19:31:23 -03:00
- Bug #532646: object.__call__() will continue looking for the __call__
attribute on objects until one without one is found. This leads to recursion
when you take a class and set its __call__ attribute to an instance of the
class. Originally fixed for classic classes, but this fix is for new-style.
Removes the infinite_rec_3 crasher.
RFE #1491485: str/unicode.endswith()/startswith() now accept a tuple as first argument.
2006-06-09 15:45:48 -03:00
- The string and unicode methods startswith() and endswith() now accept
a tuple of prefixes/suffixes to look for. Implements RFE #1491485.
Buffer objects would return the read or write buffer for a wrapped object when the char buffer was requested. Now it actually returns the char buffer if available or raises a TypeError if it isn't (as is raised for the other buffer types if they are not present but requested). Not a backport candidate since it does change semantics of the buffer object (although it could be argued this is enough of a bug to bother backporting).
2006-06-08 14:00:45 -03:00
- Buffer objects, at the C level, never used the char buffer
implementation even when the char buffer for the wrapped object was
explicitly requested (originally returned the read or write buffer).
Now a TypeError is raised if the char buffer is not present but is
requested.
Patch #1346214: correctly optimize away "if 0"-style stmts (thanks to Neal for review)
2006-06-04 18:56:52 -03:00
- Patch #1346214: Statements like "if 0: suite" are now again optimized
away like they were in Python 2.4.
Add news item for new-style exception class branch merge.
2006-05-27 09:30:25 -03:00
- Builtin exceptions are now full-blown new-style classes instead of
instances pretending to be classes, which speeds up exception handling
by about 80% in comparison to 2.5a2.

invalid file paths for the built-in import machinery which leads to
fewer open calls on startup.
Heavily fiddled variant of patch #1442927: PyLong_FromString optimization. ``long(str, base)`` is now up to 6x faster for non-power-of-2 bases. The largest speedup is for inputs with about 1000 decimal digits. Conversion from non-power-of-2 bases remains quadratic-time in the number of input digits (it was and remains linear-time for bases 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32). Speedups at various lengths for decimal inputs, comparing 2.4.3 with current trunk. Note that it's actually a bit slower for 1-digit strings: len speedup ---- ------- 1 -4.5% 2 4.6% 3 8.3% 4 12.7% 5 16.9% 6 28.6% 7 35.5% 8 44.3% 9 46.6% 10 55.3% 11 65.7% 12 77.7% 13 73.4% 14 75.3% 15 85.2% 16 103.0% 17 95.1% 18 112.8% 19 117.9% 20 128.3% 30 174.5% 40 209.3% 50 236.3% 60 254.3% 70 262.9% 80 295.8% 90 297.3% 100 324.5% 200 374.6% 300 403.1% 400 391.1% 500 388.7% 600 440.6% 700 468.7% 800 498.0% 900 507.2% 1000 501.2% 2000 450.2% 3000 463.2% 4000 452.5% 5000 440.6% 6000 439.6% 7000 424.8% 8000 418.1% 9000 417.7%

Bug #1334662 / patch #1335972: int(string, base) wrong answers. In rare cases of strings specifying true values near sys.maxint, and oddball bases (not decimal or a power of 2), int(string, base) could deliver insane answers. This repairs all such problems, and also speeds string->int significantly. On my box, here are % speedups for decimal strings of various lengths: length speedup ------ ------- 1 12.4% 2 15.7% 3 20.6% 4 28.1% 5 33.2% 6 37.5% 7 41.9% 8 46.3% 9 51.2% 10 19.5% 11 19.9% 12 23.9% 13 23.7% 14 23.3% 15 24.9% 16 25.3% 17 28.3% 18 27.9% 19 35.7% Note that the difference between 9 and 10 is the difference between short and long Python ints on a 32-bit box. The patch doesn't actually do anything to speed conversion to long: the speedup is due to detecting "unsigned long" overflow more quickly. This is a bugfix candidate, but it's a non-trivial patch and it would be painful to separate the "bug fix" from the "speed up" parts.
2006-05-23 15:45:30 -03:00
- Bug #1334662: ``int(string, base)`` could deliver a wrong answer
when ``base`` was not 2, 4, 8, 10, 16 or 32, and ``string`` represented
an integer close to ``sys.maxint``. This was repaired by patch
#1335972, which also gives a nice speedup.

methods were always silently ignored by dictionaries when comparing keys.
They are now passed through (except when using the C API function
``PyDict_GetItem()``, whose semantics did not change).
- Bug #1456209: In some obscure cases it was possible for a class with a
custom ``__eq__()`` method to confuse dict internals when class instances
were used as a dict's keys and the ``__eq__()`` method mutated the dict.
No, you don't have any code that did this ;-)

2006-06-13 12:04:24 -03:00
- Patch #1454481: thread stack size is now tunable at runtime for thread
enabled builds on Windows and systems with Posix threads support.
Move items implemented after a2 into the new a3 section
2006-05-15 03:48:14 -03:00
- On Win32, os.listdir now supports arbitrarily-long Unicode path names
(up to the system limit of 32K characters).
- Use Win32 API to implement os.{access,chdir,chmod,mkdir,remove,rename,rmdir,utime}.
As a result, these functions now raise WindowsError instead of OSError.
Some Win64 pre-release in 2000 didn't support QueryPerformanceCounter(), but we believe Win64 does support it now. So use in time.clock(). It would be peachy if someone with a Win64 box tried this ;-)
2006-05-25 18:50:17 -03:00
- ``time.clock()`` on Win64 should use the high-performance Windows
``QueryPerformanceCounter()`` now (as was already the case on 32-bit
Windows platforms).

SequenceMatcher.get_matching_blocks(): This now guarantees that adjacent triples in the result list describe non-adjacent matching blocks. That's _nice_ to have, and Guido said he wanted it. Not a bugfix candidate: Guido or not ;-), this changes visible endcase semantics (note that some tests had to change), and nothing about this was documented before. Since it was working as designed, and behavior was consistent with the docs, it wasn't "a bug".
2006-06-14 01:09:25 -03:00
- ``difflib``'s ``SequenceMatcher.get_matching_blocks()`` was changed to
guarantee that adjacent triples in the return list always describe
non-adjacent blocks. Previously, a pair of matching blocks could end
up being described by multiple adjacent triples that formed a partition
of the matching pair.

pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if the output required more than one line. "Small" dicts got displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order produced by dict.__repr__). None of this was documented. Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs promise it. This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.
2006-06-02 20:22:51 -03:00
- The functions in the ``pprint`` module now sort dictionaries by key
before computing the display. Before 2.5, ``pprint`` sorted a dictionary
if and only if its display required more than one line, although that
wasn't documented. The new behavior increases predictability; e.g.,
using ``pprint.pprint(a_dict)`` in a doctest is now reliable.

What's New in Python 2.5 alpha 2?
=================================
*Release date: 27-APR-2006*
Core and builtins
-----------------
Change those parts of the Python-api that were functions in 2.4, and are now macros to exported functions again. Fixes [ 1465834 ] bdist_wininst preinstall script support is broken in 2.5a1.
2006-04-18 15:51:06 -03:00
- Bug #1465834: 'bdist_wininst preinstall script support' was fixed
by converting these apis from macros into exported functions again:
PyParser_SimpleParseFile PyParser_SimpleParseString PyRun_AnyFile
PyRun_AnyFileEx PyRun_AnyFileFlags PyRun_File PyRun_FileEx
PyRun_FileFlags PyRun_InteractiveLoop PyRun_InteractiveOne
PyRun_SimpleFile PyRun_SimpleFileEx PyRun_SimpleString
PyRun_String Py_CompileString
Remove types from type_list if they have no objects and unlist_types_without_objects is set. Give dump_counts a FILE* argument.
2006-04-18 03:24:08 -03:00
- Under COUNT_ALLOCS, types are not necessarily immortal anymore.
Initialize structseq types only once.
2006-04-16 15:55:50 -03:00
- All uses of PyStructSequence_InitType have been changed to initialize
the type objects only once, even if the interpreter is initialized
multiple times.
SF Bug #1454485, array.array('u') could crash the interpreter when passing a string. Martin already fixed the actual crash by ensuring Py_UNICODE is unsigned. As discussed on python-dev, this fix removes the possibility of creating a unicode string from a raw buffer. There is an outstanding question of how to fix the crash in 2.4.
2006-04-14 02:20:28 -03:00
- Bug #1454485, array.array('u') could crash the interpreter. This was
due to PyArgs_ParseTuple(args, 'u#', ...) trying to convert buffers (strings)
to unicode when it didn't make sense. 'u#' now requires a unicode string.
- Py_UNICODE is unsigned. It was always documented as unsigned, but
due to a bug had a signed value in previous versions.

2006-04-25 00:31:36 -03:00
- Patch #1475231: ``doctest`` has a new ``SKIP`` option, which causes
a doctest to be skipped (the code is not run, and the expected output
or exception is ignored).

2006-04-24 01:37:15 -03:00
- Fixed contextlib.nested to cope with exceptions being raised and

hex, octal, or binary; add ``append_const`` action; keep going if
gettext cannot be imported; added ``OptionParser.destroy()`` method;
added ``epilog`` for better help generation).
SF bug #1473760 TempFile can hang on Windows. Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import inside the function. As a result, due to Python's import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows (directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile) hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module. This is a depressingly frequent problem, and deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows, and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin with (ntpath needs a different implementation depending on whether we're actually running on Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_ the function). Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py is a convenient place to add tests for them.
2006-04-21 18:18:10 -03:00
- Bug #1473760: ``tempfile.TemporaryFile()`` could hang on Windows, when
called from a thread spawned as a side effect of importing a module.
add info re: pydoc, pkgutil, and setuptools additions
2006-04-18 13:45:14 -03:00
- The pydoc module now supports documenting packages contained in
.zip or .egg files.
- The pkgutil module now has several new utility functions, such
as ``walk_packages()`` to support working with packages that are either
in the filesystem or zip files.
Add Gregory K. Johnson's revised version of mailbox.py (funded by the 2005 Summer of Code). The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message. The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility. The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing code. (The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)
2006-04-21 23:32:43 -03:00
- The mailbox module can now modify and delete messages from
mailboxes, in addition to simply reading them. Thanks to Gregory
K. Johnson for writing the code, and to the 2005 Google Summer of
Code for funding his work.

local.__del__(): This didn't actually do anything, because of too much convolution <0.5 wink>. Simplified to the point that it works, and test_threading_local no longer reports leaks under -R. Thanks to Thomas Wouters for initial analysis.
2006-04-17 18:12:33 -03:00

- Fixed a libffi build problem on MIPS systems.
Teach PyString_FromFormat, PyErr_Format, and PyString_FromFormatV about "%u", "%lu" and "%zu" formats. Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules (both inherited from PyString_FromFormatV), it would be good if someone with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other. Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a mass copy+paste to repair that. Not a backport candidate (this is a new feature).
2006-05-13 20:28:20 -03:00
- ``PyString_FromFormat``, ``PyErr_Format``, and ``PyString_FromFormatV``
now accept formats "%u" for unsigned ints, "%lu" for unsigned longs,
and "%zu" for unsigned integers of type ``size_t``.

especially long-running applications that, from time to time, temporarily
use a large number of small objects. Note that when Python returns an

no "doc" argument given. This makes it possible to legitimately use
property() as a decorator to produce a read-only property.
Add note about PEP 357.
2006-03-07 14:54:08 -04:00
- PEP 357, patch 1436368: add an __index__ method to int/long and a matching
nb_index slot to the PyNumberMethods struct. The slot is consulted instead
of requiring an int or long in slicing and a few other contexts, enabling
other objects (e.g. Numeric Python's integers) to be used as slice indices.

- Fixed various bugs reported by Coverity's Prevent tool.
PEP 352 implementation. Creates a new base class, BaseException, which has an added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception. It is also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style. KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly. String exceptions now raise DeprecationWarning. Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
2006-03-01 00:25:17 -04:00
- PEP 352, patch #1104669: Make exceptions new-style objects. Introduced the
new exception base class, BaseException, which has a new message attribute.
KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit to directly inherit from BaseException now.
Raising a string exception now raises a DeprecationWarning.
Wups, add NEWS item I'd written but not checked in.
2006-02-28 12:37:25 -04:00
- Patch #1438387, PEP 328: relative and absolute imports. Imports can now be
explicitly relative, using 'from .module import name' to mean 'from the same
package as this module is in. Imports without dots still default to the
old relative-then-absolute, unless 'from __future__ import
absolute_import' is used.
Check the return code for PyErr_Warn() when warning about raising string exceptions. This was triggered when 'warnings' had a filter set to "error" that caught the string exception deprecation warning.
2006-02-27 19:39:10 -04:00
- Properly check if 'warnings' raises an exception (usually when a filter set
to "error" is triggered) when raising a warning for raising string
exceptions.

- Patch 1433928: - The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects). - dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising KeyError. - Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module. This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).

- PEP 343: with statement implemented. Needs ``from __future__ import

Use of 'as' as a variable will also generate a warning (unless it's
Note that as generates a warning too
2006-02-28 16:06:49 -04:00
part of an import statement).
Updates to the with-statement: - New semantics for __exit__() -- it must re-raise the exception if type is not None; the with-statement itself doesn't do this. (See the updated PEP for motivation.) - Added context managers to: - file - thread.LockType - threading.{Lock,RLock,Condition,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore} - decimal.Context - Added contextlib.py, which defines @contextmanager, nested(), closing(). - Unit tests all around; bot no docs yet.
2006-02-28 17:57:43 -04:00
The following objects have __context__ methods:
- The built-in file type.
- The thread.LockType type.
- The following types defined by the threading module:
Lock, RLock, Condition, Semaphore, BoundedSemaphore.
- The decimal.Context class.
PEP 343 -- the with-statement. This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido (with help from Neal). This still needs a __future__ statement added; Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect. There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make lltrace a static global).

- Fix the encodings package codec search function to only search

Note: Codec packages should implement and register their own
codec search function. PEP 100 has the details.
In a PYMALLOC_DEBUG build obmalloc adds extra debugging info to each allocated block. This was using 4 bytes for each such piece of info regardless of platform. This didn't really matter before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory >= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints. But after the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes to record the originally requested size). Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG build's extra debugging fields. This won't make any difference on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in a debug build on a 64-bit box.
2006-06-04 00:26:02 -03:00
- PEP 353: Using ``Py_ssize_t`` as the index type.
- ``PYMALLOC_DEBUG`` builds now add ``4*sizeof(size_t)`` bytes of debugging
info to each allocated block, since the ``Py_ssize_t`` changes (PEP 353)
now allow Python to make use of memory blocks exceeding 2**32 bytes for
some purposes on 64-bit boxes. A ``PYMALLOC_DEBUG`` build was limited
to 4-byte allocations before.
Merge ssize_t branch.

2005-04-19 20:43:40 -03:00
- Descriptors defined in C with a PyGetSetDef structure, where the setter is
NULL, now raise an AttributeError when attempting to set or delete the
attribute. Previously a TypeError was raised, but this was inconsistent
with the equivalent pure-Python implementation.
Fix: [ 1176893 ] Readline segfault by unsilly-ing PyGILState_Release(). Backport candidate.
2005-04-18 05:46:17 -03:00
- It is now safe to call PyGILState_Release() before
PyEval_InitThreads() (note that if there is reason to believe there
are multiple threads around you still must call PyEval_InitThreads()
before using the Python API; this fix is for extension modules that
have no way of knowing if Python is multi-threaded yet).
In a threads-disabled build, typing Ctrl-C into a raw_input() crashed, because (essentially) I didn't realise that PY_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS actually expanded to nothing under a no-threads build, so if you somehow NULLed out the threadstate (e.g. by calling PyThread_SaveThread) it would stay NULLed when you return to Python. Argh! Backport candidate.
2005-04-07 07:11:19 -03:00
- Typing Ctrl-C whilst raw_input() was waiting in a build with threads
disabled caused a crash.

Years in the making. objimpl.h, pymem.h: Stop mapping PyMem_{Del, DEL} and PyMem_{Free, FREE} to PyObject_{Free, FREE} in a release build. They're aliases for the system free() now. _subprocess.c/sp_handle_dealloc(): Since the memory was originally obtained via PyObject_NEW, it must be released via PyObject_FREE (or _DEL). pythonrun.c, tokenizer.c, parsermodule.c: I lost count of the number of PyObject vs PyMem mismatches in these -- it's like the specific function called at each site was picked at random, sometimes even with memory obtained via PyMem getting released via PyObject. Changed most to use PyObject uniformly, since the blobs allocated are predictably small in most cases, and obmalloc is generally faster than system mallocs then. If extension modules in real life prove as sloppy as Python's front end, we'll have to revert the objimpl.h + pymem.h part of this patch. Note that no problems will show up in a debug build (all calls still go thru obmalloc then). Problems will show up only in a release build, most likely segfaults.

Bug #876637, prevent stack corruption when socket descriptor is larger than FD_SETSIZE. This can only be acheived with ulimit -n SOME_NUMBER_BIGGER_THAN_FD_SETSIZE which is typically only available to root. Since this wouldn't normally be run in a test (ie, run as root), it doesn't seem too worthwhile to add a normal test. The bug report has one version of a test. I've written another. Not sure what the best thing to do is. Do the check before calling internal_select() because we can't set an error in between Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS. This seemed the clearest solution, ie handle before calling internal_select() rather than inside. Plus there is at least one place outside of internal_select() that needed to be handled. Will backport.

SF bug 1185883: PyObject_Realloc can't safely take over a block currently managed by C, because it's possible for the block to be smaller than the new requested size, and at the end of allocated VM. Trying to copy over nbytes bytes to a Python small-object block can segfault then, and there's no portable way to avoid this (we would have to know how many bytes starting at p are addressable, and std C has no means to determine that). Bugfix candidate. Should be backported to 2.4, but I'm out of time.

SF bug 1524317: configure --without-threads fails to build Moved the code for _PyThread_CurrentFrames() up, so it's no longer in a huge "#ifdef WITH_THREAD" block (I didn't realize it /was/ in one). Changed test_sys's test_current_frames() so it passes with or without thread supported compiled in. Note that test_sys fails when Python is compiled without threads, but for an unrelated reason (the old test_exit() fails with an indirect ImportError on the `thread` module). There are also other unrelated compilation failures without threads, in extension modules (like ctypes); at least the core compiles again. Do we really support --without-threads? If so, there are several problems remaining.

Another crack at bug #1460340: make random.sample(dict) work, this time by ugly brute force.
2006-03-31 20:26:53 -04:00

now used (e.g. mail.message instead of email.Message). The MIME classes
have been moved to a subpackage (e.g. email.mime.text instead of
email.MIMEText). The old names are still supported for now. Several
deprecated Message methods have been removed and lots of bugs have been
fixed. More details can be found in the email package documentation.

Ronald L. Rivest offered this advice for Python:
"The consensus of researchers in this area (at least as
expressed at the NIST Hash Function Workshop 10/31/05),
is that SHA-256 is a good choice for the time being, but
that research should continue, and other alternatives may
arise from this research. The larger SHA's also seem OK."

[Bug #792570] Under Windows, socket.read() seems to run into trouble when asked to read tens of megabytes of data. On my Mac, it hits MemoryErrors when reading around 15Mb in one chunk.

2005-01-12 05:45:18 -04:00
+ when quoting=QUOTE_NONNUMERIC, the reader now casts unquoted fields
to floats.
Moved reader \r and \n processing from the iterator to the state machine - this allows for better handling of newline characters in quoted fields (and hopefully resolves Bug 967934).
2005-01-13 07:30:54 -04:00
+ reader now allows \r characters to be quoted (previously it only allowed
\n to be quoted).
When using QUOTE_NONNUMERIC, we now test for "numericness" with PyNumber_Check, rather than trying to convert to a float. Reimplemented writer - now raises exceptions when it sees a quotechar but neither doublequote or escapechar are set. Doublequote results are now more consistent (eg, single quote should generate """", rather than "", which is ambiguous).
2005-01-12 03:44:42 -04:00
+ writer doublequote handling improved.

2005-01-11 23:25:27 -04:00
+ Dialect classes passed to the module are no longer instantiated by
the module before being parsed (the former validation scheme required
this, but the mechanism was unreliable).
+ The dialect registry now contains instances of the internal
C-coded dialect type, rather than references to python objects.
+ the internal c-coded dialect type is now immutable.
+ register_dialect now accepts the same keyword dialect specifications
as the reader and writer, allowing the user to register dialects
without first creating a dialect class.
+ a configurable limit to the size of parsed fields has been added -
previously, an unmatched quote character could result in the entire
file being read into the field buffer before an error was reported.

In _DummyThread objects the lock stored in __block (allocated thanks to _Thread.__init__) was never used. This is a waste since locks use OS primitives that are in limited supply. So the lock is deleted in _DummyThread.__init__ . Closes bug #1089632.
2005-01-07 22:43:53 -04:00
- _DummyThread objects in the threading module now delete self.__block that is

SF #1149508: ensure textwrap handles hyphenated numbers correctly, eg. "2004-03-04" is not broken across lines. (Merged from 2.4 branch.)
2005-03-04 22:53:17 -04:00
- Bug #1149508: ``textwrap`` now handles hyphenated numbers (eg. "2004-03-05")
correctly.
If the data read from the bytestream in readline() ends in a '\r' read one more byte, even if the user has passed a size parameter. This extra byte shouldn't cause a buffer overflow in the tokenizer. The original plan was to return a line ending in '\r', which might be recognizable as a complete line and skip any '\n' that was read afterwards. Unfortunately this didn't work, as the tokenizer only recognizes '\n' as line ends, which in turn lead to joined lines and SyntaxErrors, so this special treatment of a split '\r\n' has been dropped. (It can only happen with a temporarily exhausted bytestream now anyway.) Fixes parts of SF bugs #1163244 and #1175396.
2005-04-21 18:32:03 -03:00
- Partial fixes for SF bugs #1163244 and #1175396: If a chunk read by
``codecs.StreamReader.readline()`` has a trailing "\r", read one more
character even if the user has passed a size parameter to get a proper
line ending. Remove the special handling of a "\r\n" that has been split
between two lines.

spwdmodule.c should only be built when either HAVE_GETSPNAM or HAVE_GETSPENT is defined.
2005-02-15 20:07:19 -04:00
- spwdmodule.c is built only if either HAVE_GETSPNAM or HAVE_HAVE_GETSPENT is
defined. Discovered as a result of not being able to build on OS X.
setup.py now uses the library directories specified in LDFLAGS (``-L`` directories) and the include directories specified in CPPFLAGS (``-I`` directories) for compiling the extension modules. This has led to the core being compiled with the values in the shell's CPPFLAGS. It has also removed the need for special casing to use Fink and DarwinPorts under darwin since the needed directories can now be specified in LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (e.g., DarwinPorts users can now do ``LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib; CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include; ./configure`` for everything to work properly). Parsing the values in the environment variables is done with getopt. While optparse would have been a nicer solution it cannot be used because of dependency issues at execution time; optparse uses gettext which uses struct which will not have been compiled when the code is imported. If optparse ever makes its importation of gettext optional by catching ImportError and setting _() to an identity function then it can be used.
2004-12-06 20:42:59 -04:00
- setup.py now uses the directories specified in LDFLAGS using the -L option
and in CPPFLAGS using the -I option for adding library and include
directories, respectively, for compiling extension modules against. This has
led to the core being compiled using the values in CPPFLAGS. It also removes
the need for the special-casing of both DarwinPorts and Fink for darwin since
the proper directories can be specified in LDFLAGS (``-L/sw/lib`` for Fink,
``-L/opt/local/lib`` for DarwinPorts) and CPPFLAGS (``-I/sw/include`` for
Fink, ``-I/opt/local/include`` for DarwinPorts).
Modified test for tzset to not rely on tm->tm_zone's existence. Also added sanity checks on tzname if HAVE_TZNAME defined. Closes bug #1096244. Thanks Gregory Bond.

C API
-----
Years in the making. objimpl.h, pymem.h: Stop mapping PyMem_{Del, DEL} and PyMem_{Free, FREE} to PyObject_{Free, FREE} in a release build. They're aliases for the system free() now. _subprocess.c/sp_handle_dealloc(): Since the memory was originally obtained via PyObject_NEW, it must be released via PyObject_FREE (or _DEL). pythonrun.c, tokenizer.c, parsermodule.c: I lost count of the number of PyObject vs PyMem mismatches in these -- it's like the specific function called at each site was picked at random, sometimes even with memory obtained via PyMem getting released via PyObject. Changed most to use PyObject uniformly, since the blobs allocated are predictably small in most cases, and obmalloc is generally faster than system mallocs then. If extension modules in real life prove as sloppy as Python's front end, we'll have to revert the objimpl.h + pymem.h part of this patch. Note that no problems will show up in a debug build (all calls still go thru obmalloc then). Problems will show up only in a release build, most likely segfaults.
2006-03-26 19:27:58 -04:00
- ``PyMem_{Del, DEL}`` and ``PyMem_{Free, FREE}`` no longer map to
``PyObject_{Free, FREE}``. They map to the system ``free()`` now. If memory
is obtained via the ``PyObject_`` family, it must be released via the
``PyObject_`` family, and likewise for the ``PyMem_`` family. This has
always been officially true, but when Python's small-object allocator was
introduced, an attempt was made to cater to a few extension modules
discovered at the time that obtained memory via ``PyObject_New`` but
released it via ``PyMem_DEL``. It's years later, and if such code still
exists it will fail now (probably with segfaults, but calling wrong
low-level memory management functions can yield many symptoms).

- Patch #1313939: PyUnicode_DecodeCharmap() accepts a unicode string as the

greater than the length of the string and 0xFFFE are treated as undefined
mappings.

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").
