subclasses.
MIMENonMultipart: Base class for non-multipart/* content type subclass
specializations, e.g. image/gif. This class overrides attach() which
raises an exception, since it makes no sense to attach a subpart to
e.g. an image/gif message.
MIMEMultipart: Base class for multipart/* content type subclass
specializations, e.g. multipart/mixed. Does little more than provide
a useful constructor.
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.
In the past, an object's tp_compare could return any value. In 2.2
the docs were tightened to require it to return -1, 0 or 1; and -1 for
an error.
We now issue a warning if the value is not in this range. When an
exception is raised, we allow -1 or -2 as return value, since -2 will
the recommended return value for errors in the future. (Eventually
tp_compare will also be allowed to return +2, to indicate
NotImplemented; but that can only be implemented once we know all
extensions return a value in [-2...1]. Or perhaps it will require the
type to set a flag bit.)
I haven't decided yet whether to backport this to 2.2.x. The patch
applies fine. But is it fair to start warning in 2.2.2 about code
that worked flawlessly in 2.2.1?
get_file() must convert 'U' to "r" PY_STDIOTEXTMODE before calling
fopen().
imp_load_module() must accept 'r' or 'U' or something with '+'.
Also reflow some long lines.
readline in all python versions is configured
to append a 'space' character for a successful
completion. But for almost all python expressions
'space' is not wanted (see coding conventions PEP 8).
For example if you have a function 'longfunction'
and you type 'longf<TAB>' you get 'longfunction '
as a completion. note the unwanted space at the
end.
The patch fixes this behaviour by setting readline's
append_character to '\0' which means don't append
anything. This doesn't work with readline < 2.1
(AFAIK nowadays readline2.2 is in good use).
An alternative approach would be to make the
append_character
accessable from python so that modules like
the rlcompleter.py can set it to '\0'.
[Ed.: I think expecting readline >= 2.2 is fine. If a completer wants
another character they can append that to the keyword in the list.]
- Add comment explaining the structure of the stack.
- Minor optimization: make stack tuple directly usable as part of return
value for enter/exit events.
