optional attribute, only clear the exception when the internal getattr
operation raised AttributeError. Many places in this file already had
that policy; but just as many didn't, and there didn't seem to be any
rhyme or reason to it. Be consistently cautious.
Question: should I backport this? On the one hand it's a bugfix. On
the other hand it's a change in behavior. Certain forms of buggy or
just weird code would work in the past but raise an exception under
the new rules; e.g. if you define a __getattr__ method that raises a
non-AttributeError exception.
They still run as standalone scripts, but when used as part of the
regression test suite, they are effectively no-ops.
(This is done by renaming test_main to main.)
473985. Through a subtle rearrangement of some members in the etype
struct (!), mapping methods are now preferred over sequence methods,
which is necessary to support str.__getitem__("hello", slice(4)) etc.
Two new tests are needed:
Don't skip building an extension if any of the depends files are newer
than the target.
Pass ext.depends to compiler.compile() so that it can track individual
files.
Always use _setup_compile() to do the grunt work of processing
arguments, figuring out which files to compile, and emitting debug
messages for files that are up-to-date.
Use _get_cc_args() when possible.
This change is not backwards compatible. If a compiler subclass
exists outside the distutils package, it may get called with the
unexpected keyword arg. It's easy to extend that compiler by having
it ignore the argument, and not much harder to do the right thing. If
this ends up being burdensome, we can change it before 2.3 final to
work harder at compatibility.
Also add _setup_compile() and _get_cc_args() helper functions that
factor out much of the boilerplate for each concrete compiler class.
that retries the connect() call in timeout mode so it can be shared
between connect() and connect_ex(), and needs only a single #ifdef.
The test for this was doing funky stuff I don't approve of,
so I removed it in favor of a simpler test. This allowed me
to implement a simpler, "purer" form of the timeout retry code.
Hopefully that's enough (if you want to be fancy, use non-blocking
mode and decode the errors yourself, like before).
Remove __init__ that just called base class __init__ with same args.
Fold long argument lists into fewer, shorter lines.
Remove parens in tuple unpacks.
Don't put multiple statements on one line with a semicolon.
In find_library_file() compute the library_filename() upfront.
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).
- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).
- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).
- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
errors. This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
next. It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
retrying a connect does; I need help with this.
- Get rid of the retry logic in accept(). I don't think it was needed
at all. But I may be wrong.
