This fixes 15 spurious test failures on Windows (probably all due to
the test leaving a wrong path in sys.argv[0], which then prevented
regrtest.py from finding the expected-output files for tests running
after test_optparse).
* add expansion of default values in help text: the string
"%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of
that option's default value, or "none" if no default value.
* bug #955889: option default values that happen to be strings are
now processed in the same way as values from the command line; this
allows generation of nicer help when using custom types. Can
be disabled with parser.set_process_default_values(False).
* bug #960515: don't crash when generating help for callback
options that specify 'type', but not 'dest' or 'metavar'.
* feature #815264: change the default help format for short options
that take an argument from e.g. "-oARG" to "-o ARG"; add
set_short_opt_delimiter() and set_long_opt_delimiter() methods to
HelpFormatter to allow (slight) customization of the formatting.
* patch #736940: internationalize Optik: all built-in user-
targeted literal strings are passed through gettext.gettext(). (If
you want translations (.po files), they're not included with Python
-- you'll find them in the Optik source distribution from
http://optik.sourceforge.net/ .)
* bug #878453: respect $COLUMNS environment variable for
wrapping help output.
* feature #988122: expand "%prog" in the 'description' passed
to OptionParser, just like in the 'usage' and 'version' strings.
(This is *not* done in the 'description' passed to OptionGroup.)
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.
* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
either; fixed.
* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that. It makes it easier
to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.
* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation. A negative
value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.
* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.
discussed recently in python-dev:
In _locale module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding
In gettext module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
which return translated strings encoded in
preferred system encoding, if
bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
function and catalog classes.
Every change was also documented.
rather than in docstrings. Rewrote so that _active_limbo_lock is released
no matter what happens (it could have been left locked if _sys got None'd
out). Use "in" in preference to has_key() for dict lookup. Don't bother
looking for 'dummy_threading' in sys.modules unless KeyError is raised.
Since the heart of the method is the del, do that in only one place.
and Thread.__delete() was called after a Thread instance was created. Problem
resulted from a currentThread() call in an 'assert' statement being optimized
out and dummy_thread.get_ident() always returning -1 and thus overwriting the
entry for the _MainThread() instance created in 'threading' at import time.
Closes bug #993394.
__oct__, and __hex__. Raise TypeError if an invalid type is
returned. Note that PyNumber_Int and PyNumber_Long can still
return ints or longs. Fixes SF bug #966618.
and installed layouts to make maintenance simple and easy. And it
also adds four new codecs; big5hkscs, euc-jis-2004, shift-jis-2004
and iso2022-jp-2004.
causing test_pyclbr to fail on all other platforms. Added that routine
to the urllib "ignore" list.
Removed the special case for "g" in the pickle module. types.py deletes
"g" from its namespace; maybe it didn't always. Whatever, the special
case isn't needed today.
