Walter Dörwald 3aeb632c31 PEP 293 implemention (from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/432401) 2002-09-02 13:14:32 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 53d58bb369 Further SET_LINENO reomval fixes. See comments in patch #587933.
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function.  This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again.  Update docs and comments to match.

Thanks to Neal and Armin!

Also add a test suite.  This should have come with the original patch...
2002-08-30 13:09:51 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 9240be2a35 Note change in behavior from 1.5.2. The new argument to NameError is
an error message and not just the missing name.

Closes SF Bug 599869.

Fred Drake 80a04a4894 Add strong security warning about the rexec module.
Closes SF patch #600861.

Minor markup changes.
2002-08-27 16:46:06 +00:00
Tim Peters ea76c98014 Implemented <, <=, >, >= for sets, giving subset and proper-subset
meanings.  I did not add new, e.g., ispropersubset() methods; we're
going nuts on those, and, e.g., there was no "friendly name" for
== either.
2002-08-25 18:43:10 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7ad09552d0 Correct documentation of allow_reuse_address to match the actual script.
Closes SF bug 599681.
2002-08-25 16:27:33 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger e87ab3fefe Removed < <= > >= from the API. Implemented as comparisons of the
underlying dictionaries, there were no reasonable use cases (lexicographic
sorting of a list of sets is somewhat esoteric).  Frees the operators
for other uses (such as strict subset and superset comparisons).

Updated documentation and test suite accordingly.

Fred Drake 5b09eeea89 Clarify that even though some of the relevant specifications define the
order in which form variables should be encoded in a request, a CGI script
should not rely on that since a client may not conform to those specs, or
they may not be relevant to the request.

2002-08-19 21:58:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.
2002-08-19 21:43:18 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 5959c559df Added __pow__(a,b) to the operator module. Completes the pattern of

Guido van Rossum 0fc01865f3 Document file.next(). Mark xreadlines obsolete (both method and
module).  (One thing remains to be done: the gzip class has an
xreadline method; this ought to be replaced by an iterator as well.)

Tim Peters 74824584ef Added new footnote about list.sort() stability. Repaired footnote about
using sort() with comparison functions (it made reference to the non-
existent "builtin-in function sort()").

BTW, I changed list.sort's docstring to contain the word "stable" -- the
easiest way to tell whether a particular Python version's sort *is* stable
is to look for "stable" in the docstring.  I'm not sure whether to
advertise this <wink>.

Fred Drake 5b11bdd0ed SF patch #581414: info reader bug
The "Matching vs. Searching" Info node is unreachable from the Info
program (but is fine in Emacs's Info mode). This patch seems to fix
it.  This is the only occurrence where the info reader fails, so
probably it could be addressed in the python docs as a workaround.
Forwarded the report to the info maintainer.

Guido van Rossum 11ba094957 Major overhaul of timeout sockets:
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
  setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).

- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
  report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
  an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).

- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
  so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).

- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
  errors.  This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
  next.  It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
  retrying a connect does; I need help with this.

- Get rid of the retry logic in accept().  I don't think it was needed
  at all.  But I may be wrong.

Guido van Rossum be946bfea7 SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.

I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this.  Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.

No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)

Martin v. Löwis 446a25fa3c Patch 473512: add GNU style scanning as gnu_getopt. 2002-06-06 10:58:36 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 474458da48 Add constants BOM_UTF8, BOM_UTF16, BOM_UTF16_LE, BOM_UTF16_BE,
BOM_UTF32, BOM_UTF32_LE and BOM_UTF32_BE that represent the Byte
Order Mark in UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings for little and
big endian systems.

The old names BOM32_* and BOM64_* were off by a factor of 2.

Guido van Rossum 59b2a74c75 SF bug 533625 (Armin Rigo). rexec: potential security hole
If a rexec instance allows writing in the current directory (a common
thing to do), there's a way to execute bogus bytecode.  Fix this by
not allowing imports from .pyc files (in a way that allows a site to
configure things so that .pyc files *are* allowed, if writing is not
allowed).

I'll apply this to 2.2 and 2.1 too.

Tim Peters 81b9251d59 Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise.  The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements.  In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.

While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental.  Please give it a try!
