PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
On AIX, the C function mktime() alwaysd sets tm_wday, even on error. So tm_wday
cannot be used as a sentinel to detect an error, we can only check if the
result is (time_t)-1.
in struct tm, time.struct_time objects returned by time.gmtime(),
time.localtime() and time.strptime() functions now have tm_zone and
tm_gmtoff attributes. Original patch by Paul Boddie.
Fix also its value on Windows and Linux according to its documentation:
"adjustable" indicates if the clock *can be* adjusted, not if it is or was
adjusted.
In most cases, it is not possible to indicate if a clock is or was adjusted.
* Rename time.steady() to time.monotonic()
* On Windows, time.monotonic() uses GetTickCount/GetTickCount64() instead of
QueryPerformanceCounter()
* time.monotonic() uses CLOCK_HIGHRES if available
* Add time.get_clock_info(), time.perf_counter() and time.process_time()
functions
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME) has a better resolution than gettimeofday().
time.time() falls back on gettimeofday() (and then on other functions) on
error.
* On Mac OS X, time.steady() now uses mach_absolute_time(), a monotonic clock
* Optimistic change: bet that CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME are available
when clock_gettime() is available
* Rewrite time.steady() documentation
time.ctime(), gmtime(), time.localtime(), datetime.date.fromtimestamp(),
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
raises an OverflowError, instead of a ValueError, if the timestamp does not fit
in time_t.
datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp() and datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp() now
round microseconds towards zero instead of rounding to nearest with ties going
away from zero.
* PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize() and PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() decode a string
from the current locale encoding
* _Py_char2wchar() writes an "error code" in the size argument to indicate
if the function failed because of memory allocation failure or because of a
decoding error. The function doesn't write the error message directly to
stderr.
* Fix time.strftime() (if wcsftime() is missing): decode strftime() result
from the current locale encoding, not from the filesystem encoding.
