Tim Peters ab034fab03 Implement os.waitpid() for Windows, in a way that's compatible with Linux
where their capabilities intersect.  Would be nice if people using non-
MSVC compilers (Borland etc) took a whack at doing something similar for
them (this code relies on the MS _cwait function).

Guido van Rossum 606fe4e79f SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous password
Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no
host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password.  This avoids
privacy violations.

Tim Peters 10a3bb53a8 SF bug #495548: troublesome #define in pyport.h
Removed the ancient "#define ANY void".

Bugfix candidate?  Hard call.  The bug report claims the existence of
this #define creates conflicts with other packages, which is easy to
believe.  OTOH, some extension authors may still be relying on its
presence.  I'm afraid you can't win on this one.

Tim Peters 1fbb577ee2 SF bug #494738: binascii_b2a_base64 overwrites memory.
binascii_b2a_base64():  We didn't allocate enough buffer space for very
short inputs (e.g., a 1-byte input can produce a 5-byte output, but we
only allocated 2 bytes).  I expect that malloc overheads absorbed the
overrun in practice, but computing a correct upper bound is a very simple
change.

Tim Peters bf72fe2650 Added -Qnew news about the test_coercion.py failure. That's the only test
that still fails under -Qnew, and is so tied to details of current
behavior that fixing it before new division becomes the default is
impractical.

argument can be any mapping object.

Guido van Rossum 146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

Tim Peters 25059d30c3 SF patch #489173: Make os.spawnv not block the interpreter, from
Anthony Roach.
Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls.
Bugfix candidate?  Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix".
These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no
other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system().  But it's
possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn
function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their
threads until the spawned program completes.  I think it's very unlikely
anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.

Tim Peters 3caca2326e SF bug #488514: -Qnew needs work
Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global
option affecting all instances of "/").

pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c:  define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true
iff -Qnew is passed on the command line.  This should go away (as the
comments say) when true division becomes The Rule.  This is
deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification:  it's
a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3.

ceval.c:  when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE.

test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py:  fiddle so these pass under
-Qnew too.  This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and
test_zipfile.  test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed
assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put
a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method
name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5.

Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody
please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too!  Linux runs a whole bunch
of tests Windows doesn't):
    test_augassign
    test_class
    test_coercion
I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest).  Offhand
cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible
without major hackery.

Question:  when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically
change into calls to __truediv__?  See "major hackery" at tail end of
last paragraph <wink>.

Guido van Rossum 33bab01da6 Fix SF bug #489581: __slots__ leak.
It was easier than I thought, assuming that no other things contribute
to the instance size besides slots -- a pretty good bet.  With a test
suite, no less!

Guido van Rossum d331cb5502 At the PythonLabs meeting someone mentioned it would make Jim really
happy if one could delete the __dict__ attribute of an instance.  I
love to make Jim happy, so here goes...

- New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__.  This is for
  all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty
  dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further.

Guido van Rossum 4b80085ddd Fix for SF bug #485678.
slot_tp_descr_set(): When deleting an attribute described by a
descriptor implemented in Python, the descriptor's __del__ method is
called by the slot_tp_descr_set dispatch function.  This is bogus --
__del__ already has a different meaning. Renaming this use of __del__
is renamed to __delete__.
