default encoding ("ascii") is changed. This safes quite a few cycles
during startup since the first call to .setdefaultencoding() will
initialize the codec registry and the encodings package.
See python-dev for a discussion (Subject: "[Python-Dev] [comp.lang.python] sys.setdefaultencoding (2.0b1)").
in a string (gives you something to do with the dictionary returned
by 'parse_makefile()').
Pulled the regexes in 'parse_makefile()' out -- they're now globals,
as 'expand_makefile_vars()' needs (two of) them.
Cosmetic tweaks to 'parse_makefile()'.
easier for people porting Makefile.pre.in-based extensions to Distutils.
Also loosened argument-checking in Extension constructor to make life
easier for 'read_setup_file()'.
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
Fixed that.
Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.
are completely skipped, rather than being treated as blank lines
(and then subject to the 'skip_blanks' flag). This allows us
to process old-style Setup files, which rely on
hello \\
# boo!
there
coming out as "hello there".
Dropped the 'collapse_ws' option and replaced it with 'collapse_join' --
it's *much* faster (no 're.sub()') and this is the reason I really added
'collapse_ws', ie. to remove leading whitespace from a line being joined
to the previous line.
(eg. "bdist_dumb", to generate both ZIP and tar archives in the same
run), tell all but the last run to keep temp files -- this just gets
rid of the need to pseudo-install the same files multiple times.
the command's sub-commands as well (off by default). This is essential if
we want to be be able to run (eg.) "install" twice in one run, as happens
when generating multiple built distributions in one run.
families" -- eg. install and its brood, build and its brood, and so forth.
Specifically: added the 'sub_commands' class attribute (empty list, sub-
classes must override it) and a comment describing it, and the
'get_sub_commands()' method.
Strings are unpickled by calling eval on the string's repr. This
change makes pickle work like cPickle; it checks if the pickled
string is safe to eval and raises ValueError if it is not.
test suite modifications:
Verify that pickle catches a variety of insecure string pickles
Make test_pickle and test_cpickle use exactly the same test suite
Add test for pickling recursive object
of globals from sysconfig.
Added 'prefix' and 'exec_prefix' to the list of variables that can be
expanded in installation directories (preserving the stupid old names
of 'sys_prefix' and 'sys_exec_prefix, though).
all that work when someone asks for a "configuration variable" from the
Makefile. Details:
- added 'get_config_vars()': responsible for calling one of the
'_init_*()' functions to figure things out for this platform,
and to provide an interface to the resulting dictionary
- added 'get_config_var()' as a simple interface to the dictionary
loaded by 'get_config_vars()'
- changed the '_init_*()' functions so they load the global dictionary
'_config_vars', rather than spewing their findings all over
the module namespace
- don't delete the '_init_*()' functions when done importing
- adjusted 'customize_compiler()' to the new regime
character according to RFC 2396. Add some text to quote doc string
that explains the quoting rules better.
This closes SF Bug #114427.
Add _fast_quote operation that uses a dictionary instead of a list
when the standard set of safe characters is used.
mailbox.py (from the CVS tree) doesn't work with qmail Maildirs:
Filenames are completed when the directories are scanned, and
the directory name is prepended again in the next() method.
Another suggestion: Change the print statement in the _test()
driver to show two more date characters (probably the length
has increased due to the recent Y2K hype ;). Now it shows the
complete date, including the seconds -- at least for me. (I've
also made the sender field left justified, in case it is ever
shorter than the field width).
used to create the distribution and the creation date.
Takes care of the extra_path argument to the setup function,
installs the modules into <prefix>/extra_path and creates
a -pth file (like install_lib does).
Paid more attention to the comments on the report; Martin suggested just
not having a __del__() method, which makes more sense in this case. So
I have removed it.
This closes SourceForge bug #113850. Again.
The posixfile __del__ method attempts to close the file (_file_) it
contains. However, if the open() method fails, then _file_ is never
assigned.
This closes SourceForge bug #113850.
distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py:
- the windows installer is again able to compile after installing
the files. Note: The default has changed, the packager has to
give --no-target-compile/--no-target-optimize to NOT compile
on the target system. (Another note: install_lib's --compile
--optimize options have the same semantics to switch off
the compilation. Shouldn't the names change?)
- All references to specific python versions are gone.
- A small bug:
raise DistutilsPlatformError ("...")
instead of
raise DistutilsPlatformError, ("...")
- When bdist_wininst creates an installer for one specific python
version, this is reflected in the name:
Distutils-0.9.2.win32-py15.exe instead of
Distutils-0.9.2.win32.exe
- bdist_wininst, when run as script, reads the wininst.exe file
and rewrites itself. Previously this was done by hand.
misc/install.c
- All the changes needed for compilation
- Deleted a lot of debug/dead code
waste an hour tracking down an illusion; repaired it; writing/reading non-
printable characters (except \t\r\n) into/outof text-mode files ain't
defined x-platform, and at least some Windows text editors do surprising
things in their presence.
Also added a by-hand "build humber" to the Windows build, in an approximation
of Python's inexplicable BUILD-number Unix scheme. I'll try to remember to
increment it each time I make a Windows installer available. It's starting
at 2, cuz I've put 2 installers out so far (both with BUILD #0).
This was a funny one! The test very subtly relied on 1.5.2's
behavior of treating "\x%" as "\x%", i.e. ignoring that was an
\x escape that didn't make sense. But /F implemented PEP 223,
which causes 2.0 to raise an exception on the bad escape.
Fixed by merely making the 3 such strings of this kind into
raw strings.
newlines at the start or end. Fiddle test_popen2 and popen2._test() to
tolerate this. Also change all "assert"s in these tests to raise
explicit exceptions, so that python -O doesn't render them useless.
Also, in case of error, make the msg display the reprs of what we
wrote and what we read, so we can tell exactly why it's failing.
Fix import support to work with import as variant of Python 2.0. The
grammar for import changed, requiring changes in transformer and code
generator, even to handle compilation of imports with as.
Python test suite. Specifically,
- import time instead of strop in test_b1
- test for ClassType of exceptions using isinstance instead of
equality in test_exceptions
- remove __builtins__ from dir() output in test_pkg
test_pkg output needs to be regenerated.
#101187, which some modifications. Specifically,
ntransfercmd(), transfercmd(), and retrbinary() all grow an optional
`rest' argument, which if not None, is used as the argument to an FTP
REST comman dbefore the socket is returned. Differences from the SF
patch:
- always compare against None with `is' or `is not' instead of == or !=
- no parens around conditional
- RFC 959 defines the argument to REST is a string containing any
ASCII characters in the range [33..126]. Therefore, we use the %s
format character instead of %f or %d as suggested in the patch's
comments. Note that we do /not/ sanity checkthe contents of the
rest argument (but we'll document this in the library reference
manual).
unbuffered (by setting the class variable rbufsize to 0), because we
(may) need to pass the file descriptor to the subprocess running the
CGI script positioned after the headers.
and wfile class variables (that the instance can also override).
Change the default for rfile to buffered, because that seems to make a
big difference in performance on some platforms.
An anti-patch is needed to revert the effect in CGIHTTPServer.py which
I'll check in momentarily.
* ensure the "dist" directory exists
* raise exception if using for modules containing compiled extensions
on a non-win32 platform.
* don't create an .ini file anymore (it was just for debugging)
fairly tight control, and the '_setup_stop_after' and '_setup_distribution'
globals to provide the tight control.
This isn't entirely reliable yet: it dies horribly with a NameError on the
example PIL setup script in examples/pil_setup.py (at least with Python
1.5.2; untested with current Python). There's some strangeness going
on with execfile(), but I don't understand it and don't have time
to track it down right now.
Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation
used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them,
we provide this method.
according to the MS docs it enables exception-handling, and (according
to Alex Martelli <aleaxit@yahoo.com>) is needed to compile without
getting warnings from standard C++ library headers. Apparently
it doesn't cause any problems with C code, so I haven't bothered
conditionalizing the use of /GX.
* deletes cache
* adds firstweekday and setfirstweekday functions that allow user to control
which day of the week is first when displaying calendars
* adds month, week, calendar functions that return their results instead of
printing them
* adds symbolic constants MONDAY, ..., SUNDAY so users need not remember the
ordinal values of the weekdays
In test_poll1(), unregister file descriptors as they're closed,
and also close the read end of the pipe
In test_poll2(), make the code assume less about the combinations of flag
bits that will be returned
Changed 'core.setup()' so it sets them to reasonable defaults.
Tweaked how the "usage" string is generated: 'core' now provides
'gen_usage()', which is used instead of 'USAGE'.
Modified "build_py" and "sdist" commands to refer to
'self.distribution.script_name' rather than 'sys.argv[0]'.
subtle breakage on Windows (the test is skipped here, but the TestSkipped
exception wasn't recognized as such, because of duplicate copies of
test_support got loaded; so the test looks like a failure under Windows
instead of a skip).
Repaired the import, but
THIS TEST *WILL* FAIL ON OTHER SYSTEMS NOW!
Again due to the duplicate copies of test_support, the checked-in
"expected output" file actually contains verbose-mode output. I can't
generate the *correct* non-verbose output on my system. So, somebody
please do that.
The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is
extracted) is fixed.
Other changes:
- The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst
are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python
files during installation.
- The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst.
- I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate
file (extract.c).
- The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see
http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe
(and thus the overhead of the final installer program)
from 40 kB to 16 kB.
- The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like
user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo.
(I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos).
- The installation progress bar now moves correctly.
rfc822 (Addresslist) modules. Also a preliminary testcase for augmented
assignment, which should actually be merged with the test_class testcase I
added last week.
so that a subclass can override it.
This partly addresses Bug #112634 -- but the documentation is still
wrong, since it suggests that you can set self.version *after* calling
the base class __init__. In fact it must be done *before*.
I'll fix that too.
Add the EXTENDED_ARG opcode to the virtual machine, allowing 32-bit
arguments to opcodes instead of being forced to stick to the 16-bit
limit. This is especially useful for machine-generated code, which
can be too long for the SET_LINENO parameter to fit into 16 bits.
This closes the implementation portion of SourceForge patch #100893.
Patch description
-----------------
This addresses four issues:
(1) usernames and passwords in urls with special characters are now
decoded properly. i.e. http://foo%2C:bar@www.whatever.com/
(2) Basic Auth support has been added to HTTPS, like it was in HTTP.
(3) Version 1.92 sent the POSTed data, but did not deal with errors
(HTTP responses other than 200) properly. HTTPS now behaves the
same way HTTP does.
(4) made URL-checking beahve the same way with HTTPS as it does with
HTTP (changed == to !=).
docs changes are needed (only reference to winreg I could find
was in libwinreg.tex, which is documenting _winreg, and merely
mentions that a higher-level winreg module *may* appear someday;
that's still true).
os.name == "nt". This makes test_popen2 pass under Win98SE.
HOWEVER, the Win98 "more" invents a leading newline out
of thin air, and I'm not sure that the other Windows flavors
of "more" also do that.
So, somebody please try under other Windows flavors!
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.
socket.py is used for all platforms, and it defines the additional
classes and alternate socket() function for Windows and BeOS systems.
The plat-*/socket.py files are no longer needed, since there is a
shared socket.py.
make_fqdn() is provided, but I decided to call it getfqdn() to be
consistent with the other names in the socket module. Since it is
really a "get" operation and does not create a new name, this is
the right name to give it.
Move the docstring here from the _socket module.
'helo' and 'ehlo' message, and exports the 'make_fqdn' function. This
function should be moved to socket.py, if that module ever gets a Python
wrapper.
Minor updates for BeOS R5.
Use of OSError in test.test_fork1 changed to TestSkipped, with corresponding
change in BeOS/README (by Fred).
This closes SourceForge patch #100978.
