number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
- all classes are new-style (but ripping out classobject.[ch] isn't done)
- int/int -> float
- all exceptions must derive from BaseException
- absolute import
- 'as' and 'with' are keywords
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.
- 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.
In a Windows debug build, trying to open a file using
an empty string as the name causes assertion death
inside MS's C runtime code. We probably need to worm
around that in many places. I'm worming around it here
to stop the new test_with.py from assert-dying in the
Windows debug build (it calls compile() with an empty
string for "the file name", which indirectly leads to
C-level code in Python trying to fopen("", "r")).
If the initial import of warnings fails, clear the error. When the module
is actually needed, if the original import failed, see if it has managed
to find its way to sys.modules yet and if so, remember it.
return. Setting an exception can mess with the exception state, and
continuing is definitely wrong (since type is dereferenced later on).
Some code that calls this seems to be prepared for a NULL exception
type, so let's be safe rather than sorry and simply assume there's
nothing to normalize in this case.
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(), PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename().
Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and
PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), but they allow to specify
the exception type to raise. Available on Windows.
See SF patch #576458.
Highlights: import and friends will understand any of \r, \n and \r\n
as end of line. Python file input will do the same if you use mode 'U'.
Everything can be disabled by configuring with --without-universal-newlines.
See PEP278 for details.
Unknown whether this fixes it.
- stringobject.c, PyString_FromFormatV: don't assume that va_list is of
a type that can be copied via an initializer.
- errors.c, PyErr_Format: add a va_end() to balance the va_start().
If a new exception occurs while an exception instance is being
created, try harder to make sure there is a traceback. If the
original exception had a traceback associated with it and the new
exception does not, keep the old exception.
Of course, callers to PyErr_NormalizeException() must still be
prepared to have tb set to NULL.
XXX This isn't an ideal solution, but it's better than no traceback at
all. It occurs if, for example, the exception occurs when the call to
the constructor fails before any Python code is executed. Guido
suggests that it there is Python code that was about to be executed
-- but wasn't, say, because it was called with the wrong number of
arguments -- then we should point at the first line of the code object
anyway.
in release builds. Suggested by Martin v. Loewis.
I'm half tempted to macroize PyErr_Occurred too, as the whole thing could
collapse to just
_PyThreadState_Current->curexc_type
for errors raised in future.c.
Move some helper functions from compile.c to errors.c and make them
API functions: PyErr_SyntaxLocation() and PyErr_ProgramText().
return 0 (exceptions don't match). This means that if an ImportError
is raised because exceptions.py can't be imported, the interpreter
will exit "cleanly" with an error message instead of just core
dumping.
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(), PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename():
Don't test on Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag.
* Changes to a recent patch by Chris Tismer to errors.c. Chris' patch
always used FormatMessage() to get the error message passing the error code
from errno - but errno and FormatMessage use a different numbering scheme.
The main reason the patch looked OK was that ENOFILE==ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND -
but that is about the only shared error code :-). The MS CRT docs tell you
to use _sys_errlist()/_sys_nerr. My patch does also this, and adds a very
similar function specifically for win32 error codes.
an exception from errno, with a supplied filename (primarily used by
IOError and OSError). If class exceptions are used then the exception
is instantiated with a 3-tuple: (errno, strerror, filename). For
backwards compatibility reasons, if string exceptions are used,
filename is ignored.
PyErr_SetFromErrno(): Implement in terms of
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().
(PyExc_MemoryErrorInst) raise this instead of PyExc_MemoryError. This
only happens when exception classes are enabled (e.g. when Python is
started with -X).
- int PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(obj1, obj2)
Returns 1 if obj1 and obj2 are the same object, or if obj1 is an
instance of type obj2, or of a class derived from obj2
- int PyErr_ExceptionMatches(obj)
Higher level wrapper around PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches() which uses
PyErr_Occurred() as obj1. This will be the more commonly called
function.
- void PyErr_NormalizeException(typeptr, valptr, tbptr)
Normalizes exceptions, and places the normalized values in the
arguments. If type is not a class, this does nothing. If type is a
class, then it makes sure that value is an instance of the class by:
1. if instance is of the type, or a class derived from type, it does
nothing.
2. otherwise it instantiates the class, using the value as an
argument. If value is None, it uses an empty arg tuple, and if
the value is a tuple, it uses just that.
bltinmodule.c: fixed coerce() nightmare in ternary pow().
modsupport.c (initmodule2): pass METH_FREENAME flag to newmethodobject().
pythonrun.c: move flushline() into and around print_error().
* many files: made some functions static; removed "extern int errno;".
* frozenmain.c: fixed bugs introduced on 24 June...
* flmodule.c: remove 1.5 bw compat hacks, add new functions in 2.2a
(and some old functions that were omitted).
* timemodule.c: added MSDOS floatsleep version .
* pgenmain.c: changed exit() to goaway() and added defn of goaway().
* intrcheck.c: add hack (to UNIX only) so interrupting 3 times
will exit from a hanging program. The second interrupt prints
a message explaining this to the user.
* Fixcprt.py: added [-y file] option, do only files younger than file.
* modsupport.[ch]: added vmkvalue().
* intobject.c: use mkvalue().
* stringobject.c: added "formatstring"; renamed string* to string_*;
ceval.c: call formatstring for string % value.
* longobject.c: close memory leak in divmod.
* parsetok.c: set result node to NULL when returning an error.
