set a function attribute on a method (either bound or unbound). This
reverts to Python 2.0 behavior that no attributes of the method are
writable, but provides a more informative error message.
- func.__dict__ is None until the first attribute is assigned
- del func.__dict__ is equivalent to func.__dict__ = None
- disallowing assignment to function attribute through unbound method
(it was always illegal to assign through bound method).
- verifying that setting attribute explicitly on underlying function
via meth.im_func is okay.
will not have been done, and applications need to know that. Also, do
not print a message about it; the exception is the right thing.
This closes SF bug #133717.
Two different but related problems:
1. PySymtable_Free() must explicitly DECREF(st->st_cur), which should
always point to the global symtable entry. This entry is setup by the
first enter_scope() call, but there is never a corresponding
exit_scope() call.
Since each entry has a reference to scopes defined within it, the
missing DECREF caused all symtable entries to be leaked.
2. The leak here masked a separate problem with
PySymtableEntry_New(). When the requested entry was found in
st->st_symbols, the entry was returned without doing an INCREF.
And problem c) The ste_children slot was getting two copies of each
child entry, because it was populating the slot on the first and
second passes. Now only populate on the first pass.
the internal API function to release the interned strings as the very
last thing before returning status. This aids in memory use debugging
because it eliminates a huge source of noise from the reports. This
is never called during normal (non-debugging) use because releasing
the interned strings slows Python's shutdown and isn't necessary
anyway because the system will always reclaim the memory.
release the interned string dictionary. This is useful for memory
use debugging because it eliminates a huge source of noise from the
reports. Only defined when INTERN_STRINGS is defined.
and the test for errors, so that an error in the default compare
doesn't go undetected. This fixes SF Bug #132933 (submitted by
effbot) -- list.sort doesn't detect comparision errors.
(Fred, I'll leave the doc changes to you, because I don't know if you
want to delete libsoundex.tex or leave it in.
Someone else will have to tweak PC/os2vacpp/{config.c,makefile} and
PCbuild/pythoncore.dsp, both of which refer to soundex.c)
