If on Windows, we require the 'largefile' resource.
If not on Windows, we use a test that actually writes a byte beyond
the 2BG limit -- seeking alone is not sufficient, since on some
systems (e.g. Linux with glibc 2.2) the sytem call interface supports
large seek offsets but not all filesystem implementations do.
Note that on Windows, we do not use the write test: on Win2K, that
test can take a minute trying to zero all those blocks on disk, and on
Windows our code always supports large seek offsets (but again, not
all filesystems do). This may mean that on Win95, or on certain other
backward filesystems, test_largefile will *fail*.
horridly inefficient hack in regrtest's Compare class, but it's about as
clean as can be: regrtest has to set up the Compare instance before
importing a test module, and by the time the module *is* imported it's too
late to change that decision. The good news is that the more tests we
convert to unittest and doctest, the less the inefficiency here matters.
Even now there are few tests with large expected-output files (the new
cost here is a Python-level call per .write() when there's an expected-
output file).

Got rid of the internal _PySequence_IterContains, introduced a new
internal _PySequence_IterSearch, and rewrote all the iteration-based
"count of", "index of", and "is the object in it or not?" routines to
just call the new function. I suppose it's slower this way, but the
code duplication was getting depressing.
saving instead a traceback string, but test_support's run_unittest was
still peeking into unittest internals and trying to pick apart unittest's

of strings.
Whatever, when a unittest-based test failed, test_support blew up. I'm
not sure this is the right way to fix it; it simply gets me unstuck.
capabilities of the Pentium FPU, so what should have been (and were on

(1) Allow multiple -u options to extend each other (and the initial

(2) When a test is run stand-alone (not via regrtest.py), needed

1. That seeking beyond the end of a file increases the size of a file.
2. That files so extended are magically filled with null bytes.
I find no support for either in the C std, and #2 in particular turns out
not to be true on Win32 (you apparently see whatever trash happened to be
on disk). Left #1 intact, but changed the test to check only bytes it
explicitly wrote. Also fiddled the "expected" vs "got" failure reports
to consistently use repr (%r) -- they weren't readable otherwise.
Curious: the MS docs say stati64 etc are supported even on Win95, but
Win95 doesn't support a filesystem that allows partitions > 2 Gb.
test_largefile: This was opening its test file in text mode. I have no
idea how that worked under Win64, but it sure needs binary mode on Win98.
BTW, on Win98 test_largefile runs quickly (under a second).
requires that errno ever get set, and it looks like glibc is already
playing that game. New rules:
+ Never use HUGE_VAL. Use the new Py_HUGE_VAL instead.
+ Never believe errno. If overflow is the only thing you're interested in,
use the new Py_OVERFLOWED(x) macro. If you're interested in any libm
errors, use the new Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW(x) macro, which attempts
to set errno the way C89 said it worked.
Unfortunately, none of these are reliable, but they work on Windows and I

bag. It's clearly wrong for classic classes, at heart because a classic
class doesn't have a __class__ attribute, and I'm unclear on whether
that's feature or bug. I'll repair this once I find out (in the
meantime, dir() applied to classic classes won't find the base classes,
while dir() applied to a classic-class instance *will* find the base
classes but not *their* base classes).
Please give the new dir() a try and see whether you love it or hate it.
The new dir([]) behavior is something I could come to love. Here's
something to hate:
>>> class C:
... pass
...
>>> c = C()
>>> dir(c)
['__doc__', '__module__']
>>>
The idea that an instance has a __doc__ attribute is jarring (of course
it's really c.__class__.__doc__ == C.__doc__; likewise for __module__).
OTOH, the code already has too many special cases, and dir(x) doesn't
have a compelling or clear purpose when x isn't a module.

Questionable: The other type constructors accept a keyword argument, so I
did that here too (e.g., dictionary(mapping={1:2}) works). But type_call
doesn't pass the keyword args to the tp_new slot (it passes NULL), it only
passes them to the tp_init slot, so getting at them required adding a
tp_init slot to dicts. Looks like that makes the normal case (i.e., no
args at all) a little slower (the time it takes to call dict.tp_init and
have it figure out there's nothing to do).

solver. In conjunction, they easily found a tour of a 200x200 board:
that's 200**2 == 40,000 levels of backtracking. Explicitly resumable
generators allow that to be coded as easily as a recursive solver (easier,
actually, because different levels can use level-customized algorithms
without pain), but without blowing the stack. Indeed, I've never written
an exhaustive Tour solver in any language before that can handle boards so
large ("exhaustive" == guaranteed to find a solution if one exists, as
opposed to probabilistic heuristic approaches; of course, the age of the
universe may be a blip in the time needed!).

that required explicitly calling LazyList.clear() in the two tests that
use LazyList (I added a LazyList Fibonacci generator too).
A real bitch: the extremely inefficient first version of the 2-3-5 test
*looked* like a slow leak on Win98SE, but it wasn't "really": it generated
so many results that the heap grew over 4Mb (tons of frames! the number
of frames grows exponentially in that test). Then Win98SE malloc() starts
fragmenting address space allocating more and more heaps, and the visible
memory use grew very slowly while the disk was thrashing like mad.
Printing fewer results (i.e., keeping the heap burden under 4Mb) made
that illusion vanish.
Looks like there's no hope for plugging the LazyList leaks automatically
short of adding frameobjects and genobjects to gc. OTOH, they're very
easy to break by hand, and they're the only *kind* of plausibly realistic
leaks I've been able to provoke.

i_divmod: New and simpler algorithm. Old one returned gibberish on most
boxes when the numerator was -sys.maxint-1. Oddly enough, it worked in the

exactly once. But the test code can't know that, as the number of times
__cmp__ is called depends on internal details of the dict implementation.
This is especially nasty because the __hash__ method returns the address
of the class object, so the hash codes seen by the dict can vary across
runs, causing the dict to use a different probe order across runs. I

dictresize() was too aggressive about never ever resizing small dicts.
If a small dict is entirely full, it needs to rebuild it despite that
it won't actually resize it, in order to purge old dummy entries thus
creating at least one virgin slot (lookdict assumes at least one such
exists).
Also took the opportunity to add some high-level comments to dictresize.
When regrtest.py finds an attribute "test_main" in a test it imports,

and introduces a new method .decode().
The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert
Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along
the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec
return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly.
Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking
existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode
previously took place using the default encoding which is normally
set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for
most Unicode encodings.
The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with
much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility
of the builtin codecs.
As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new
codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13,
hex, zip, uu, base64).

Added some basic "is the output correct?" tests to test_pprint.
The comment following used to say:
/* We use ~hash instead of hash, as degenerate hash functions, such
as for ints <sigh>, can have lots of leading zeros. It's not
really a performance risk, but better safe than sorry.
12-Dec-00 tim: so ~hash produces lots of leading ones instead --
what's the gain? */
That is, there was never a good reason for doing it. And to the contrary,
as explained on Python-Dev last December, it tended to make the *sum*
(i + incr) & mask (which is the first table index examined in case of
collison) the same "too often" across distinct hashes.
Changing to the simpler "i = hash & mask" reduced the number of string-dict
collisions (== # number of times we go around the lookup for-loop) from about
6 million to 5 million during a full run of the test suite (these are
approximate because the test suite does some random stuff from run to run).
The number of collisions in non-string dicts also decreased, but not as
dramatically.
Note that this may, for a given dict, change the order (wrt previous
releases) of entries exposed by .keys(), .values() and .items(). A number
of std tests suffered bogus failures as a result. For dicts keyed by
small ints, or (less so) by characters, the order is much more likely to be
in increasing order of key now; e.g.,
>>> d = {}
>>> for i in range(10):
... d[i] = i
...
>>> d
{0: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9}

Unfortunately. people may latch on to that in small examples and draw a
bogus conclusion.
test_support.py
Moved test_extcall's sortdict() into test_support, made it stronger,
and imported sortdict into other std tests that needed it.

cp875 doesn't have a well-defined inverse for unicode("?", "cp875").
See Python-Dev for excruciating details.
Cookie.py
Chaged various output functions to sort dicts before building
strings from them.
test_extcall
Fiddled the expected-result file. This remains sensitive to native
dict ordering, because, e.g., if there are multiple errors in a
keyword-arg dict (and test_extcall sets up many cases like that), the
specific error Python complains about first depends on native dict
ordering.
A Mystery: test_mutants ran amazingly slowly even before dictobject.c
"got fixed". I don't have a clue as to why. dict comparison was and
remains linear-time in the size of the dicts, and test_mutants only tries
100 dict pairs, of size averaging just 50. So "it should" run in less than
an eyeblink; but it takes at least a second on this 800MHz box.
Fixed a half dozen ways in which general dict comparison could crash
Python (even cause Win98SE to reboot) in the presence of kay and/or
value comparison routines that mutate the dict during dict comparison.

NEEDS DOC CHANGES
A few more AttributeErrors turned into TypeErrors, but in test_contains
this time.
The full story for instance objects is pretty much unexplainable, because
instance_contains() tries its own flavor of iteration-based containment
testing first, and PySequence_Contains doesn't get a chance at it unless
instance_contains() blows up. A consequence is that
some_complex_number in some_instance
dies with a TypeError unless some_instance.__class__ defines __iter__ but
does not define __getitem__.
to string.join(), so that when the latter figures out in midstream that
it really needs unicode.join() instead, unicode.join() can actually get
all the sequence elements (i.e., there's no guarantee that the sequence
passed to string.join() can be iterated over *again* by unicode.join(),
so string.join() must not pass on the original sequence object anymore).

This one surprised me! While I expected tuple() to be a no-brainer, turns
out it's actually dripping with consequences:
1. It will *allow* the popular PySequence_Fast() to work with any iterable
object (code for that not yet checked in, but should be trivial).
2. It caused two std tests to fail. This because some places used
PyTuple_Sequence() (the C spelling of tuple()) as an indirect way to test
whether something *is* a sequence. But tuple() code only looked for the
existence of sq->item to determine that, and e.g. an instance passed
that test whether or not it supported the other operations tuple()
needed (e.g., __len__). So some things the tests *expected* to fail
with an AttributeError now fail with a TypeError instead. This looks
like an improvement to me; e.g., test_coercion used to produce 559
TypeErrors and 2 AttributeErrors, and now they're all TypeErrors. The
error details are more informative too, because the places calling this
were *looking* for TypeErrors in order to replace the generic tuple()
"not a sequence" msg with their own more specific text, and
AttributeErrors snuck by that.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
Possibly contentious: The first time s.next() yields StopIteration (for
a given map argument s) is the last time map() *tries* s.next(). That
is, if other sequence args are longer, s will never again contribute
anything but None values to the result, even if trying s.next() again
could yield another result. This is the same behavior map() used to have
wrt IndexError, so it's the only way to be wholly backward-compatible.
I'm not a fan of letting StopIteration mean "try again later" anyway.

If there is leading or trailing spaces, then no grouping should be applied
in the spaces, and the total length of the string should not be changed
due to grouping.
Also added test case which works only if the en_US locale is available.
"%#x" % 0
blew up, at heart because C sprintf supplies a base marker if and only if
the value is not 0. I then fixed that, by tolerating C's inconsistency
when it does %#x, and taking away that *Python* produced 0x0 when
formatting 0L (the "long" flavor of 0) under %#x itself. But after talking
with Guido, we agreed it would be better to supply 0x for the short int
case too, despite that it's inconsistent with C, because C is inconsistent
with itself and with Python's hex(0) (plus, while "%#x" % 0 didn't work
before, "%#x" % 0L *did*, and returned "0x0"). Similarly for %#X conversion.

For short ints, Python defers to the platform C library to figure out what
%#x should do. The code asserted that the platform C returned a string
beginning with "0x". However, that's not true when-- and only when --the
*value* being formatted is 0. Changed the code to live with C's inconsistency
here. In the meantime, the problem does not arise if you format a long 0 (0L)
instead. However, that's because the code *we* wrote to do %#x conversions on
longs produces a leading "0x" regardless of value. That's probably wrong too:
we should drop leading "0x", for consistency with C, when (& only when) formatting
0L. So I changed the long formatting code to do that too.
catch IOError as well as OverflowError. I found that on Tru64 Unix
this was raised; probably because the OS (or libc) doesn't support
large files but the architecture is 64 bits!
bugs on sizeof(long)==8 machines. pickle.py has no idea what it's
doing with very large ints, and variously gets things right by accident,
computes nonsense, or generates corrupt pickles. cPickle fails on
cases 2**31 <= i < 2**32: since it *thinks* those are 4-byte ints
(the "high 4 bytes" are all zeroes), it stores them in the (signed!) BININT
format, so they get unpickled as negative values.
integers, but the std tests don't exercise most of them. Repair that.
CAUTION: I expect this to fail on boxes with sizeof(long)==8, in the
part of test_cpickle (but not test_pickle) trying to do a binary mode
(not text mode) load of the embedded BINDATA pickle string. Once that
hypothesized failure is confirmed, I'll fix cPickle.c.
This applies the patch Fred Drake created to fix it.
I'm checking it in since I had to apply the patch anyway in order
to test its behavior on Windows.
used by Jython. The tests in this module expect C locale, so be
explicit about setting that (for CPython). However, in Jython, there
is no C locale, so instead be explicit about setting the US locale.
Closes the patch.
