There were never tests for the fact that list() always returns a *new*
list object, even when the argument is a list, while tuple() may
return a reference to the argument when it is a tuple. Now there are.

exits), or on multi-processor machines running other OSes.
Bugfix candidate.
Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.

TemproraryFileWrapper wrapper anymore, and should be immune from the
problem that a temp file inherited by a spawned process caused an
attempt to close the temp file in the spawning process to blow
up (the unlink in TemporaryFileWrapper.close() blew up with a
"Permission denied" error because, despite that the temp file got
closed in the spawning process, the spawned process still had it open
by virtue of C-level file descriptor inheritance). In context,
that bug took days to figure out <wink/sigh>.
This is an ancient race when multiple threads call gettempdir() (or
anything relying on it) for the first time.
Fixed x-platform via the Big Hammer of rearranging the code to serialize
the first calls. Subsequent calls are as fast as before.
Note that the Python test suite can't provoke this bug: it requires
setting up multiple threads making the very first calls into tempfile,
but the test suite uses tempfile several times before getting to
test_threadedtempfile.

later).
Newer versions of SWIG don't accept the -dnone flag any more.

harm.

This fixes the immediate symptoms of SF bug #496873 (cPickle /

Make dumbdbm merely "dumb", rather than "terminally broken". Without this
patch, it's almost impossible to use dumbdbm _without_ causing horrible
datalossage. With this patch, dumbdbm passes my own horrible torture test,
as well as the roundup test suite.
dumbdbm really could do with a smidgin of a rewrite or two, but that's not
suitable for the release21-maint branch.
rfc822.AddressList incorrectly handles empty address.
"<>" is converted to None and should be "".
AddressList.__str__() fails on None.
I got an email with such an address and my program

metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose class is
a subclass of 'type', should be pickled the same as new-style classes
(objects whose class is 'type'). This can't be done through a
dispatch table entry, and the __reduce__ trick doesn't work for these,
since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for instances of the class
(inherited from 'object'). So check explicitly using issubclass().
This way, when a socket object is deleted after the socket module has
already been zapped by module shutdown, we don't get annoying warnings
about exceptions in __del__ methods.

If no external zip-utility is found, the archive is created by the
zipfile module, which behaves different now than in 2.1: if the
zip-file is created in the root directory if the distribution, it will
contain an (empty) version of itself.
This triggered the above bug - so it's better to create the zip-file
far away in the TMP directory.
paren. This was there to worm around a stupid XEmacs bug, but since I
can't tickle the bug in newer XEmacsen (just tried w/21.4.5) it's
possible the problem has been fixed. We shouldn't have to be working
around editor bugs anyway.
If it crops up again, I'll report it (again) to the XEmacs crowd.

Rev 1.20 introduced a call to getpeername() in the dispatcher
constructor. This only works for a connected socket. Apparently
earlier versions of the code worked with un-connected sockets, e.g. a
listening socket.
It's not clear that the code is supposed to accept these sockets,
because it sets self.connected = 1 when passed a socket. But it's
also not clear that it should be a fatal error to pass a listening
socket.
The solution, for now, is to put a try/except around the getpeername()
call and continue if it fails. The self.addr attribute is used
primarily (only?) to produce a nice repr for the object, so it hardly
matters. If there is a real error on a connected socket, it's likely
that subsequent calls will fail too.
Fix for SF bug #492345. (I could've sworn I checked this in, but
apparently I didn't!)
This code:

Using grid methods on ScrolledText widgets does not
work as expected. It either fails to pack a widget, or
can even cause Tk to lock up.
The problem is that the .grid method is being called on
the text widget, not the frame widget. This can lead
to the well-known lockup in Tk when a frame's children
are managed by both the pack and grid managers. Even
if it doesn't lock up, the frame is never placed within
the intended widget.
Program fragment:
>>> import ScrolledText
>>> s = ScrolledText.ScrolledText()
>>> s.grid(row=0, column=0, rowspan=2)
The following patch uses the same hack to copy the
'grid' and 'place' geometry manager methods to the
ScrolledText instance as is already used for the 'pack'
manager.

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.
open_http():
In urllib.py library module, URLopener.open_https()

Instead of "https://www.someurl.com", it becomes

annoying that often you have to hit ^C numerous times before it

stopping the test in its tracks.

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>.
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!
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.
