SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs
Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.
Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).
Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.
Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.
Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).
now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0". This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3. I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten. In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.
Note that this substitution is very simple-minded: the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens. No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0]. This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.
The interning of short strings violates the refcnt==1 assumption for
_PyString_Resize().
A simple fix is to boost the initial value of "totalnew" by 1.
Combined with an NULL argument to PyString_FromStringAndSize(),
this assures that resulting format string is not interned.
This will remain true even if the implementation of
PyString_FromStringAndSize() changes because only the uninitialized
strings that can be interned are those of zero length.
Added a test case.
The constructor() call only made sense when it registered the
constructor as safe for unpickling. We should probably remove the
module-global function, but need to worry about backwards
compatibility.
In response to "shouldn't the client close the file?", the answer is
"no". The original design behind HTTPConnection is that the client did
not have to worry about it. The response would close itself when you
read the last of the data from it. This closing also dealt with
allowing the connection to perform another request/response (if it was
a persistent connection).
However... the auto-close behavior broke compatibility with the
classic httplib.HTTP class' behavior when a zero-length response body
was present. In that situation, the HTTPResponse object was
auto-closing it since there was no data present, and for an HTTP/1.0
connection-close socket (or an HTTP/0.9 request) connection, that also
ended up closing the socket. When an httplib.HTTP user went to read
the socket... boom. A patch to correct the auto-close (for compat with
old httplib users) was added in rev 1.22.
But for non-zero-length *chunked* bodies, we should keep the
auto-close behavior. The library user is not reading the socket (they
can't cuz of the chunked response we just got done handling), so they
should be immune to the response closing the socket. In fact, I would
like to see (one day) the auto-close restored, and the HTTP subclass
would simply have a flag to disable that behavior (for back-compat
purposes).
some of this code because useless, and (worse) could return a long
instead of int (in Zope that's important, because a long can't be used
as a key in an IOBTree or IIBTree).
* Updated comment on design of imap()
* Added untraversed object in izip() structure
* Replaced the pairwise() example with a more general window() example
