test_queue has failed occasionally for years, and there's more than one
cause.
The primary cause in the SF report appears to be that the test driver
really needs entirely different code for thread tests that expect to
raise exceptions than for thread tests that are testing non-exceptional
blocking semantics. So gave them entirely different code, and added a
ton of explanation.
Another cause is that the blocking thread tests relied in several places
on the difference between sleep(.1) and sleep(.2) being long enough for
the trigger thread to do its stuff sot that the blocking thread could make
progress. That's just not reliable on a loaded machine. Boosted the 0.2's
to 10.0's instead, which should be long enough under any non-catastrophic
system conditions. That doesn't make the test take longer to run, the 10.0
is just how long the blocking thread is *willing* to wait for the trigger
thread to do something. But if the Queue module is plain broken, such
tests will indeed take 10 seconds to fail now.
For similar (heavy load) reasons, changed threaded-test termination to
be willing to wait 10 seconds for the signal thread to end too.
* Check the found object for a None value during a contains/has_key
lookup. Perhaps it will help the OP who is likely suffering from an
occassional GC or threading object deletion after self.data is checked.
* Complete the previous patch by removing the unnecessary indirection
for weak dict iterators. Makes the code cleaner and more readable.
It's redundant, since no output is written anyway: DebugRunner doesn't
generate any output for failures and unexpected exceptions, and since
verbose=False, it won't generate any output for non-failures either.
appeared at the end of a line. Repaired that. Also noted that it's
too easy to provoke this implementation into requiring exponential
time, and especially when a test fails. I'll replace the implementation
with an always-efficient one later.
error based on decorating with staticmethod too soon for the code to execute.
This meant that if the test didn't pass it just errored out. Now if the test
doesn't pass it leads to a failure instead.
[ 1009560 ] Fix @decorator evaluation order
From the description:
Changes in this patch:
- Change Grammar/Grammar to require
newlines between adjacent decorators.
- Fix order of evaluation of decorators
in the C (compile.c) and python
(Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py) compilers
- Add better order of evaluation check
to test_decorators.py (test_eval_order)
- Update the decorator documentation in
the reference manual (improve description
of evaluation order and update syntax
description)
and the comment:
Used Brett's evaluation order (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-August/047835.html)
(I'm checking this in for Anthony who was having problems getting SF to
talk to him)
normalize() in Draft 1.06 (9 October 2002):
The normalize operation has been added; it reduces a number to a
canonical form. (This replaces the trim operator, which only
removed trailing fractional zeros.)
(version 1.45):
The max and min operations follow the rules in the current IEEE 754 revision draft:
if one operand is a quiet NaN and the other is number, then the number is always returned
if both operands are finite and equal in numerical value then an ordering is applied:
if the signs differ then max returns the operand with the positive sign and
min returns the operand with the negative sign; if the signs are the same then
the exponent is used to select the result.
version 2.39 of dectest.zip adds some new test files and because
some existing test files were getting skipped).
* Remove two docstrings which cluttered unittest's output.
* Simplify a for-loop with a list comprehension.
path, as normalizing the path may alter the meaning of the path if it contains
symlinks.
Also add tests for infinite symlink loops and parent symlinks that need to be
resolved.
reached through a symlink (was comparing path of module to path to function and
were not matching because of the symlink). os.path.realpath() is now used to
solve this discrepency.
Closes bug #570300. Thanks Johannes Gijsbers for the fix.
them (which they are now), I had to rewrite the code to understand
it. This has got to be the most DWIM part of doctest -- but in context
is really necessary.
[ 1005248 ] new.code() not cleanly checking its arguments
using the result of new.code() can still destroy the sun, but merely
calling the function shouldn't any more.
I also rewrote the existing tests of new.code() to use vastly less
un-bogus arguments, and added tests for the previous insane behaviours.
visually distinguish the expected output from the comments (use
"##" to mark expected outputs, and "#" to mark comments).
- If the string given to DocTestParser.get_program() is indented, then
strip its indentation. (In particular, find the min indentation of
non-blank lines, and strip that indentation from all lines.)
- Added comments for some regexps
- If the traceback type/message don't match, then still print full
traceback in report_failure (not just the first & last lines)
- Renamed DocTestRunner.__failure_header -> _failure_header
modify option flags for a single example; they do not turn options
on or off.)
- Added "indent" and "options" attributes for Example
- Got rid of add_newlines param to DocTestParser._parse_example (it's
no longer needed; Example's constructor now takes care of it).
- Added some docstrings
responsible for parsing the string.
- Renamed Parser to DocTestParser
- DocTestParser.get_*() now accept the string & name as command-line
arguments; the parser's constructor is now empty.
- Added DocTestParser.get_doctest() method
- Replaced "doctest_factory" argument to DocTestFinder with a "parser"
argument (takes a DocTestParser).
- Changed _tag_msg to take an indentation string argument.
the set_trace fiddling didn't make sense to me, and I ended up reworking
that part of the code. We really do want to save and restore
pdb.set_trace, so that each dynamically nested level of doctest gets
sys.stdout fiddled to what's appropriate for *it*. The only "trick"
really needed is that these layers of set_trace wrappers each call the
original pdb.set_trace (instead of the current pdb.set_trace).
the string one line at a time. The resulting code is (in my opinion,
anyway), much easier to read. In the process, I found and fixed a
bug in the orginal parser's line numbering in error messages (it was
inconsistant between 0-based and 1-based). Also, check for missing
blank lines after the prompt on all prompt lines, not just PS1 lines
(test added).
Added XXX comment about why the undocumented PyRange_New() API function
is too broken to be worth the considerable pain of repairing.
Changed range_new() to stop using PyRange_New(). This fixes a variety
of bogus errors. Nothing in the core uses PyRange_New() now.
Documented that xrange() is intended to be simple and fast, and that
CPython restricts its arguments, and length of its result sequence, to
native C longs.
Added some tests that failed before the patch, and repaired a test that
relied on a bogus OverflowError getting raised.
This got slammed in when find() was fixed to stop grabbing doctests
from modules imported *by* the module being tested. Such tests cannot
be expected to succeed, since they'll be run with the current module's
globals. Dozens of Zope3 doctests were failing because of that.
It wasn't clear why ignore_imports got added then. Maybe it's because
some existing tests failed when the change was made. Whatever, it's
a Bad Idea so it's gone now.
The only use of it was exceedingly obscure, in test_doctest's "Duplicate
Removal" test. It was "needed" there because, as an artifact of running
a doctest inside a doctest, the func_globals of functions compiled in
the second-level doctest don't match the module globals, and so the
test-finder believed these functions were from a foreign module and
skipped them. But that took a long time to figure out, and I actually
understand some of this stuff <0.9 wink>.
That problem was resolved by moving the source code for the second-level
doctest into an actual module (test/doctest_aliases.py).
The only remaining difficulty was that the test for the deprecated
Tester.rundict() then failed, because the test finder doesn't take
module=None at face value, trying to guess which module the user really
intended then. Its guess wasn't appropriate for what Tester.rundict
needs when module=None is given to *it*, which is "no, there is no
module here, and I mean it". So now passing module=False means exactly
that. This is hokey, but ignore_imports=False was really a hack to worm
around that there was no way to tell the test-finder that module=None
*sometimes* means what it says. There was no use case for the combination
of passing a real module with ignore_imports=False.
Ripped out the docs for the new DocTestFinder's namefilter argument,
and renamed it to _namefilter; this only existed to support isprivate.
Removed the new DocTestFinder's objfilter argument. No point adding
more cruft to a broken filtering design.
This test is insanely slow, so it requires a resource. On my machine,
it also appears to dump core. I think the problem is a stack
overflow, but haven't been able to confirm.
interning were not clear here -- a subclass could be mutable, for
example -- and had bugs. Explicitly interning a subclass of string
via intern() will raise a TypeError. Internal operations that attempt
to intern a string subclass will have no effect.
Added a few tests to test_builtin that includes the old buggy code and
verifies that calls like PyObject_SetAttr() don't fail. Perhaps these
tests should have gone in test_string.
The change to use the newer httplib interface admitted the possibility
that we'd get an HTTP/1.1 chunked response, but the code didn't handle
it correctly. The raw socket object can't be pass to addinfourl(),
because it would read the undecoded response. Instead, addinfourl()
must call HTTPResponse.read(), which will handle the decoding.
One extra wrinkle is that the HTTPReponse object can't be passed to
addinfourl() either, because it doesn't implement readline() or
readlines(). As a quick hack, use socket._fileobject(), which
implements those methods on top of a read buffer. (suggested by mwh)
Finally, add some tests based on test_urllibnet.
Thanks to Andrew Sawyers for originally reporting the chunked problem.
Specifically, time.strftime() no longer accepts a 0 in the yday position of a
time tuple, since that can crash some platform strftime() implementations.
parsedate_tz(): Change the return value to return 1 in the yday position.

the tim-doctest-merge-24a2 tag on the the tim-doctest-branch branch.
We did development on the branch in case it wouldn't land in time for

Python's tests, and ditto the Zope3 tests. Together, those hit doctest
heavily.
unicodedata.east_asian_width(). You can still implement your own
simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0

cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2

will be fixed in their future development branches but they'll keep
the POSIX-incompatibility for their backward-compatiblities in near
future.
scripts without modifying either the distutils installation or the
setup.py scripts of packages with which the new commands will be used.
Specifically, an option is added to distutils that allows additional
packages to be searched for command implementations in addition to
distutils.command. The additional packages can be specified on the
command line or via the installation or personal configuration files
already loaded by distutils.

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2004-August/004112.html
This closes SF patch #102241.
* Fixes an incorrect variable in a PyDict_CheckExact.
* Allow general mapping locals arguments for the execfile() function
and exec statement.
* Add tests.
test_failing_import_sticks -- if an import raises an exception,
ensure that trying to import it again continues raising exceptions
test_failing_reload -- if a module loads OK, but a reload raises an
exception, ensure that the module is still in sys.modules, and
that its __dict__ reflects as much of the reload attempt as
succeeded. That doesn't seem like sane semantics, but it is
backward-compatible semantics <wink>.
This fixes 15 spurious test failures on Windows (probably all due to
the test leaving a wrong path in sys.argv[0], which then prevented
regrtest.py from finding the expected-output files for tests running
after test_optparse).
* add expansion of default values in help text: the string
"%default" in an option's help string is expanded to str() of
that option's default value, or "none" if no default value.
* bug #955889: option default values that happen to be strings are
now processed in the same way as values from the command line; this
allows generation of nicer help when using custom types. Can
be disabled with parser.set_process_default_values(False).
* bug #960515: don't crash when generating help for callback
options that specify 'type', but not 'dest' or 'metavar'.
* feature #815264: change the default help format for short options
that take an argument from e.g. "-oARG" to "-o ARG"; add
set_short_opt_delimiter() and set_long_opt_delimiter() methods to
HelpFormatter to allow (slight) customization of the formatting.
* patch #736940: internationalize Optik: all built-in user-
targeted literal strings are passed through gettext.gettext(). (If
you want translations (.po files), they're not included with Python
-- you'll find them in the Optik source distribution from
http://optik.sourceforge.net/ .)
* bug #878453: respect $COLUMNS environment variable for
wrapping help output.
* feature #988122: expand "%prog" in the 'description' passed
to OptionParser, just like in the 'usage' and 'version' strings.
(This is *not* done in the 'description' passed to OptionGroup.)
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.
* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
either; fixed.
* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that. It makes it easier
to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.
* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation. A negative
value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.
* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.
discussed recently in python-dev:
In _locale module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() binding
In gettext module:
- bind_textdomain_codeset() function
- lgettext(), lngettext(), ldgettext(), ldngettext(),
which return translated strings encoded in
preferred system encoding, if
bind_textdomain_codeset() was not used.
- Added equivalent functionality in translate()
function and catalog classes.
Every change was also documented.
rather than in docstrings. Rewrote so that _active_limbo_lock is released
no matter what happens (it could have been left locked if _sys got None'd
out). Use "in" in preference to has_key() for dict lookup. Don't bother
looking for 'dummy_threading' in sys.modules unless KeyError is raised.
Since the heart of the method is the del, do that in only one place.
and Thread.__delete() was called after a Thread instance was created. Problem
resulted from a currentThread() call in an 'assert' statement being optimized
out and dummy_thread.get_ident() always returning -1 and thus overwriting the
entry for the _MainThread() instance created in 'threading' at import time.
Closes bug #993394.
__oct__, and __hex__. Raise TypeError if an invalid type is
returned. Note that PyNumber_Int and PyNumber_Long can still
return ints or longs. Fixes SF bug #966618.
