Fred Drake 7064d3b581 Fix the default value for feature_namespaces, per discussions on the XML-SIG
mailing list.  This causes the docs to match the default implementation.
2001-11-19 04:34:50 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 69ab5836ae Paul Rubin reminds me that of course a class's constructor /could/ get
called, if the pickler found a __getinitargs__() method.

Fred Drake ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers:
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

Fred Drake 666ca80b63 Clean up some markup a little bit more. Make this work with the PDF format,

but not tonight).

instead of marshal for object serialization.

Fred, please proofread!
2001-11-15 23:55:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f595fd975d A massive rewrite affecting both the pickle and cPickle module

Tim Peters 5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps.  A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
2001-11-13 23:11:19 +00:00

exception that previously worked by accident.
