contributed by Rene Liebscher and slightly modified.
Remove an unused local variable spotted by PyChecker
though 'licence' is still supported for backward-compatibility
(Should I add a warning to get_licence(), or not bother?)
Also fixes an UnboundLocalError noticed by PyChecker
bug #449000, "re.sub(r'\n', ...) broke". This was Fredrik's
suggestion -- he's on vacation and said he wouldn't be able to work on
this until next week.
For local files urllib.py doesn't return the MIME
headers that the documentation says it does:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-
urllib.html#l2h-2187 states that "When the method is
local-file, returned headers will include a Date
representing the file's last-modified time, a Content-
Length giving file size, and a Content-Type containing
a guess at the file's type"
But in Python 2.1 the only header that gets returned
is the Content-Type:
>>> import urllib
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("gurk.txt")
>>> f.info().headers
['Content-Type: text/plain\n']
Python's logolike module turtle.py did not display
the turtle except when actually drawing lines.
This patch changes the turtle.py module so that
it displays the turtle at all times when tracing is
on. This is similar to the the way that logo works.
When tracing is off the turtle will not be displayed.
If 'unittest.py' was run from the command line with the name of a test
case class as a parameter, it failed with an ugly error. (Which was a
shame, because the documentation says you can do that.)
The problem was the old 'is the class X that you imported from me the same
as my class X?' gotcha.
This introduces:
- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
where 1/2 is 0).
- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).
- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.
- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.
I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.
Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.
This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.
Flames to /dev/null.
Also fix another bug caught by pychecker-- HTTPError() raised when
redirect limit exceed did not pass an fp object. Had to change method
to keep fp object around until it's certain that the error won't be
raised.
Remove useless line in do_proxy().
attribute values. Just using escape() can (and always has) led to broken
XML being generated. This makes sure it always produces the right thing.
This actually closes SF bug #440351.

Add a new subclass IterableUserDict that has the __iter__ method.
Note that for new projects, unless backwards compatibility with
pre-2.2 Python is required, subclassing 'dictionary' is recommended;
UserDict might become deprecated.

IDLE's "Check Module" command uses this, and it broke once already
because the reset_globals() and tokeneater() functions were deleted
when Neil converted this to using the generator API of tokenizer.

starting the test suite proper. If _socket fails to build, that will
make this test fail with an ImportError -- handled by the test harness
as "no such module _socket" -- instead of an AttributeError deep in
CGIHTTPServer.
names of the test methods were not changed from the Zope-standard "check"
names to the Python-standard "test_" names, so the tests were not actually
being run.
Added test of hexadecimal character references as a regression check for
SF bug #445196.
Fix handling of hexadecimal character references (legal in XHTML) so that
they are properly interpreted as character references.
This fixes SF bug #445196.
If pyexpat is not available and more than one attempt is made to load
an expat-based xml parser, an empty xml.parser.expat module will be
created. This empty module will confuse xml.sax.expatreader into
thinking that pyexpat is available.
The ugly fix is to verify that the expat module actually defines the
names that are imported from pyexpat.
d:/whatever instead of /whatever. While I'm afraid changing isabs()
to be *consistent* with this would break lots of code, it makes
best sense for join() to do it this way. Thanks to Alex Martelli for
pushing back on this one!
to the current Python interpreter (ie. the one used for
building/installation), even (especially!) if "/usr/bin/env" appears in
the #! line.
Rationale: installing scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" is asking for
trouble, because
1) it might pick the wrong interpreter (not the one used to
build/install the script)
2) it doesn't work on all platforms (try it on IRIX 5, or on Linux
with command-line options for python)
3) "env" might not be in /usr/bin
+ test_quopri.py relied on significant trailing spaces. Fixed.

is complete: recompute _dirs_in_sys_path each time these functions are
entered after module initialization is complete, and reset before
returning to user code.
This closes SF patch #442983.
Fix showstopper SF bug #442983: use of site.addsitedir() was broken
because it references the global dirs_in_sys_path which is deleted.
The fix avoids deleting that global.
(My email through python.org or digicool.com is non-functional at the
moment; use gvanrossum@home.com to reach me.)
This is a Windows-specific glitch that's really due to that, e.g.,
ntpath.join("c:", "/abc") returned "/abc" instead of "c:/abc". Made
join smarter.
Bugfix candidate.
Reorganize so the initialization sequences does not bite us in the foot.
(There is no good reason to discard classes that clients may want to
subclass.)
****************
PyShell: Added functionality:
usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ...
idle file(s) (without options) edit the file(s)
-c cmd run the command in a shell
-d enable the debugger
-i open an interactive shell
-i file(s) open a shell and also an editor window for each file
-r script run a file as a script in a shell
-s run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else
-t title set title of shell window
Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).

test_rfc2822_phrases(): RFC 2822 now requires that we allow `.' in
phrases, which means we must accept dots in unquoted realname parts.
Add a test to check the change in rfc822.py 1.58.
now allowed in unquoted RealName areas (technically, they are defined
as "obsolete syntax" we MUST accept in phrases, as part of the
obs-phrase production). Thus, parsing
To: User J. Person <person@dom.ain>
correctly returns "User J. Person" as the RealName.
AddrlistClass.__init__(): Add definition of self.phraseends which is
just self.atomends with `.' removed.
getatom(): Add an optional argument `atomends' which, if None (the
default) means use self.atomends.
getphraselist(): Pass self.phraseends to getatom() and break out of
the loop only when the current character is in phraseends instead of
atomends. This allows dots to continue to serve as atom delimiters in
all contexts except phrases.
Also, loads of docstring updates to document RFC 2822 conformance
(sorry, this should have been two separate patches).
Added a patch which modifies idlefork so that it can co-exist with
"official" IDLE in the site-packages directory. This patch is not
necessary if only idlefork IDLE is installed. See INSTALLATION for further
details.
The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window instead
of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh environment by
selecting "run". There are times, however, when a shell is desired.
Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'", this script is more
convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor window can be started
in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
that 'yield' is a keyword. This doesn't help test_generators at all! I
don't know why not. These things do work now (and didn't before this
patch):
1. "from __future__ import generators" now works in a native shell.
2. Similarly "python -i xxx.py" now has generators enabled in the
shell if xxx.py had them enabled.
3. This program (which was my doctest proxy) works fine:
from __future__ import generators
source = """\
def f():
yield 1
"""
exec compile(source, "", "single") in globals()
print type(f())

that info to code dynamically compiled *by* code compiled with generators
enabled. Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser
that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in
this too).
Replaced PyEval_GetNestedScopes by a more-general
PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags. Perhaps I should not have? I doubted it was
*intended* to be part of the public API, so just did.

release 2.2a1 on Wednesday.
Note: test_generators is currently broken, I'm counting on Tim to fix
this.
"Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf module

"Amazing. A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually
found a bug here. Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from class
OutputWindow. Method PyShell.close()
wants to invoke its parent method, but because PyShell long ago was
inherited from class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes
PyShelEditorWindow.close(self). Now, class PyShellEditorWindow itself
derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close() method from
there without overriding it. Under the old rules,
PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted to
the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was
OutputWindow.close. Under the new rules, the unbound method is
restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is
PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error." --GvR
