Fix "Berkeley" name.
........
Python 2.4 changed ntpath.abspath to do an import
inside the function. As a result, due to Python's
import lock, anything calling abspath on Windows
(directly, or indirectly like tempfile.TemporaryFile)
hung when it was called from a thread spawned as a
side effect of importing a module.
This is a depressingly frequent problem, and
deserves a more general fix. I'm settling for
a micro-fix here because this specific one accounts
for a report of Zope Corp's ZEO hanging on Windows,
and it was an odd way to change abspath to begin
with (ntpath needs a different implementation
depending on whether we're actually running on
Windows, and the _obvious_ way to arrange for that
is not to bury a possibly-failing import _inside_
the function).
Note that if/when other micro-fixes of this kind
get made, the new Lib/test/threaded_import_hangers.py
is a convenient place to add tests for them.
- 'os2' references in ntpath.py relate to the VACPP port, not the EMX port;
- the VACPP port uses the same defpath as all other ntpath.py supported
platforms except 'ce'.
imported on systems other than Windows, and in particular is imported
by test___all__; the compile farm reported that all Linux tests failed
due to this; isn't anyone in PythonDevLand running CVS on Linux?!).
sys.getwindowsversion() on Windows (new enahanced Tim-proof <wink>
version), and fix test_pep277.py in a few minor ways.
Including doc and NEWS entries.
ntpath.join('a', '') was producing 'a' instead of 'a\\' as in 2.1.
Impossible to guess what was ever *intended*, but since split('a\\')
produces ('a', ''), I think it's best if join('a', '') gives 'a\\' back.
Once upon a time, I put together a little function
that tries to find the canonical filename for a given
pathname on POSIX. I've finally gotten around to
turning it into a proper patch with documentation.
On non-POSIX, I made it an alias for 'abspath', as
that's the behavior on POSIX when no symlinks are
encountered in the path.
Example:
>>> os.path.realpath('/usr/bin/X11/X')
'/usr/X11R6/bin/X'
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!
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.
