Multi-phase initialized modules allow m_traverse to be called while the
module is still being initialized, so module authors may need to account
for that.
Creating backup files with ~ suffix can be undesirable in some environment,
such as when building RPM packages. Instead of requiring the user to remove
those files manually, option -n was added, that simply disables this feature.
-n was selected because 2to3 has the same option with this behavior.
New tests also added.
I also made the comments in line with the builtin Grammar/Grammar. PEP 306 was
withdrawn, Kees Blom's railroad program has been lost to the sands of time for
at least 16 years now (I found a python-dev post from people looking for it).
fstat may block for long time if the file descriptor is on a
non-responsive NFS server, hanging all threads. Most fstat() calls are
handled by _Py_fstat(), releasing the GIL internally, but but
_Py_fstat_noraise() does not release the GIL, and most calls release the
GIL explicitly around it.
This patch fixes last 2 calls to _Py_fstat_no_raise(), avoiding hangs
when calling:
- mmap.mmap()
- os.urandom()
- random.seed()
In some conditions the standard streams will be None or closed in the child process (for example if using "pythonw" instead of "python" on Windows). Avoid failing with a non-0 exit code in those conditions.
Report and initial patch by poxthegreat.
* fix a typo: documention -> documentation
* fix the type of IPv?Network.hostmask
* add documentation about IPv?Network.netmask
* fix IPv6Network constructor doc that extended netmasks are not supported
Fix a crash on fork when using a custom memory allocator (ex: using
PYTHONMALLOC env var).
_PyGILState_Reinit() and _PyInterpreterState_Enable() now use the
default RAW memory allocator to allocate a new interpreters mutex on
fork.
The length in strncpy is one char too short and as a result it leads
to a build warning with gcc 8. Comment out the strncpy since the
interpreter aborts immediately after anyway.
* bpo-32991: Add test capturing expectation.
DocTestFinder.find should return an empty list for doctests in a namespace package.
* bpo-32991: Restore expectation that inspect.getfile on a namespace package raises TypeError.
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs one startup file in the Shell window
before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
option.
