Guido van Rossum acd738feb3 SF patch 659809, by Daniel Brotsky: fix Makefile.pre to use config
env.

This adds @CFLAGS@  and @CPPFLAGS@ to the end of the respective
variable definitions.  It also adds $(LDFLAGS) to the $(CC) invocation
to build $(PGEN).

Just van Rossum 8982595870 Backing out patch #642578 in anticipation of final acceptance of PEP 302. 2002-12-25 23:13:34 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().

[ 643835 ] Set Next Statement for Python debuggers

with a few tweaks by me: adding an unsigned or two, mentioning that
not all jumps are allowed in the doc for pdb, adding a NEWS item and
a note to whatsnew, and AuCTeX doing something cosmetic to libpdb.tex.

[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

* Objects/fileobject.c
  (file_read): Clear errors before leaving the loop in all situations,
  and also check if some data was read before exiting the loop with an
  EWOULDBLOCK exception.

* Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex
* Objects/fileobject.c
  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

* Misc/NEWS
  Document the fix.

[#636769] Fix for major rexec bugs

* Lib/rexec.py
  (FileBase): Added 'xreadlines' and '__iter__' to allowed file methods.
  (FileWrapper.__init__): Removed unnecessary self.f variable, which gave
  direct access to the file object.
  (RExec): Added 'xreadlines' and '_weakref' to allowed modules.
  (RExec.r_open): Convert string subclasses to a real string classes
  before doing comparisons with mode parameter.

* Lib/ihooks.py
  (BasicModuleImporter.import_module/reload/unload): Convert the module
  name to a real string before working with it.

Marc-André Lemburg 20b91358e5 News item for the change to turn _codecs into a builtin module. 2002-12-12 18:01:43 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

Martin v. Löwis 677bde2dd1 Patch #626485: Support Unicode normalization. 2002-11-23 22:08:15 +00:00
Tim Peters 84c7a3f328 Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to say
whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.

Tim Peters 19cf4ee69d More bsddb-on-Windows fiddling:
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
  still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.

Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

Thomas Heller 95cb7e4ae5 NEWS entry for the changed fdopen function. 2002-11-07 16:23:55 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer c523b04b0f Fixed sre bug "[#581080] Provoking infinite scanner loops".
This bug happened because: 1) the scanner_search and scanner_match methods
were not checking the buffer limits before increasing the current pointer;
and 2) SRE_SEARCH was using "if (ptr == end)" as a loop break, instead of
"if (ptr >= end)".

* Modules/_sre.c
  (SRE_SEARCH): Check for "ptr >= end" to break loops, so that we don't
  hang forever if a pointer passing the buffer limit is used.
  (scanner_search,scanner_match): Don't increment the current pointer
  if we're going to pass the buffer limit.

* Misc/NEWS
  Mention the fix.

Gustavo Niemeyer 4e7be06a65 Fixed bug #470582, using a modified version of patch #527371,
from Greg Chapman.

* Modules/_sre.c
  (lastmark_restore): New function, implementing algorithm to restore
  a state to a given lastmark. In addition to the similar algorithm used
  in a few places of SRE_MATCH, restore lastindex when restoring lastmark.
  (SRE_MATCH): Replace lastmark inline restoring by lastmark_restore(),
  function. Also include it where missing. In SRE_OP_MARK, set lastindex
  only if i > lastmark.

* Lib/test/re_tests.py
* Lib/test/test_sre.py
  Included regression tests for the fixed bugs.

* Misc/NEWS

Tim Peters 9288f95cb5 Another round on SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G
The last round boosted "the limit" from 2GB to 4GB.  This round gets
rid of the 4GB limit.  For files > 4GB, gzip stores just the last 32
bits of the file size, and now we play along with that too.  Tested
by hand (on a 6+GB file) on Win2K.

Boosting from 2GB to 4GB was arguably enough "a bugfix".  Going beyond
that smells more like "new feature" to me.

Tim Peters fb0ea525d5 Related to SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G.
Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB.
4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though.

Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes.  It
didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create*
a > 2GB test file!  This wasn't Python's doing.  I don't know of a
reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not
checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating
a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again,
and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required,
and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once).

Bugfix candidate, I guess.

Skip Montanaro e5d7f7f3af ReST-ification of the NEWS file. While the total number of changes are
fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection
headings.  The changes fall into the following categories:

    * reformatted section and subsection headers.

    * escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold
      or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)").

    * quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't
      (e.g. ``PyCmp_``).

    * changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes
      (e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'").

    * introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code.

    * created one table (search for "New codecs").
