This changes the default __new__ to refuse arguments iff tp_init is the
default __init__ implementation -- thus making it a TypeError when you
try to pass arguments to a constructor if the class doesn't override at
least __init__ or __new__.
folded; this will change in Python 2.4. On a 32-bit machine, this
happens for 0x80000000 through 0xffffffff, and for octal constants in
the same value range. No warning is issued if an explicit base is
given, *or* if the string contains a sign (since in those cases no
sign folding ever happens).
descr_check(); it wasn't useful. Change the type argument of the
various _get() methods to PyObject * because the call signature of
tp_descr_get doesn't guarantee its type.
when Python code calls a descriptor's __get__ method. It should
translate None to NULL in both argument positions, and insist that at
least one of the argument positions is not NULL after this
transformation.
For the case where the current globals match the previous frame's
globals, eliminates three tests in two if statements. For the case
where we just get __builtins__ from a module, eliminate a couple of
tests.
wasn't used outside the assert (and hence caused a compiler warning
about an unused variable in NDEBUG mode). The assert wasn't very
useful any more.
_PyLong_NumBits(): moved the calculation of ndigits after asserting
that v != NULL.
Assorted code cleanups; e.g., sizeof(char) is 1 by definition, so there's
no need to do things like multiply by sizeof(char) in hairy malloc
arguments. Fixed an undetected-overflow bug in readline_file().
longobject.c: Fixed a really stupid bug in the new _PyLong_NumBits.
pickle.py: Fixed stupid bug in save_long(): When proto is 2, it
wrote LONG1 or LONG4, but forgot to return then -- it went on to
append the proto 1 LONG opcode too.
Fixed equally stupid cancelling bugs in load_long1() and
load_long4(): they *returned* the unpickled long instead of pushing
it on the stack. The return values were ignored. Tests passed
before only because save_long() pickled the long twice.
Fixed bugs in encode_long().
Noted that decode_long() is quadratic-time despite our hopes,
because long(string, 16) is still quadratic-time in len(string).
It's hex() that's linear-time. I don't know a way to make decode_long()
linear-time in Python, short of maybe transforming the 256's-complement
bytes into marshal's funky internal format, and letting marshal decode
that. It would be more valuable to make long(string, 16) linear time.
pickletester.py: Added a global "protocols" vector so tests can try
all the protocols in a sane way. Changed test_ints() and test_unicode()
to do so. Added a new test_long(), but the tail end of it is disabled
because it "takes forever" under pickle.py (but runs very quickly under
cPickle: cPickle proto 2 for longs is linear-time).
__module__ is the string name of the module the function was defined
in, just like __module__ of classes. In some cases, particularly for
C functions, the __module__ may be None.
Change PyCFunction_New() from a function to a macro, but keep an
unused copy of the function around so that we don't change the binary
API.
Change pickle's save_global() to use whichmodule() if __module__ is
None, but add the __module__ logic to whichmodule() since it might be
used outside of pickle.
error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of
the input and out of bounds positions result in an
IndexError.
Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.
Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position
from the callback is negative *add* it to the size
instead of substracting it.

linear-time way to pickle a long is to call _PyLong_AsByteArray, but
the caller has no idea how big an array to allocate, and correct
calculation is a bit subtle).
was broken because new-in-2.3 code added a tp_as_mapping slot to tuples.
Repaired that.
Added basic docs to check_recursion().
The code that intended to exempt tuples and strings was also broken here,
and in 2.2: these should use PyXYZ_CheckExact(), not PyXYZ_Check() -- we
can't know whether subclass instances are immutable. This part (and this
part alone) is a bugfix candidate.
Christian Tismer pointed out the high cost of the loop overhead and
function call overhead for 'c' * n where n is large. Accordingly,
the new code only makes lg2(n) loops.
Interestingly, 'c' * 1000 * 1000 ran a bit faster with old code. At some
point, the loop and function call overhead became cheaper than invalidating
the cache with lengthy memcpys. But for more typical sizes of n, the new
code runs much faster and for larger values of n it runs only a bit slower.
Refactor code in PyCFunction_Call giving a modest (tiny) speed boost,
a slight improvement in semantics (now detects invalid flag combinations),
and (arguably) improved clarity (making it blindingly clear which flag
combinations are allowed). All this comes at a cost of a few lines of
code duplication.
* Folded test for METH_KEYWORDS into the switch/case.

bug report open for Samuele, but this fixes the index error and passes
the test suite (and I can't see why it *shouldn't* be the right fix
:-).
Initialize the small integers and __builtins__ in startup.
This removes some if conditions.
Change XDECREF to DECREF for values which shouldn't be NULL.
andsq_inplace_repeat. This fixes a number of corner case bugs (see #624807).
Consolidate the int and long sequence repeat code. Before the change, integers

for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.
This closes SF patch #649608.
Most of these patches are from Thomas Heller, with long lines folded
by Tim. The change to test_descr.py is from Guido. See the bug report.
Not a bugfix candidate -- METH_CLASS is new in 2.3.
Just van Rossum showed a weird, but clever way for pure python code to
trigger the BadInternalCall. The C code had assumed that calling a class
constructor would return an instance of that class; however, classes that
abuse __new__ can invalidate that assumption.

This raises TypeError for MRO order disagreements, which is an

I don't think I care.
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:

classes was called with three arguments. This makes no sense, there's
no way to pass in the "modulo" 3rd argument as for __pow__, and
classic classes don't do this. [SF bug 620179]
I don't want to backport this to 2.2.2, because it could break
existing code that has developed a work-around. Code in 2.2.2 that
wants to use __ipow__ and wants to be forward compatible with 2.3
should be written like this:
def __ipow__(self, exponent, modulo=None):

macros. The 'op' argument is then the result from PyObject_MALLOC,
and that can of course be NULL. In that case, PyObject_Init[Var]
would raise a SystemError with "NULL object passed to
PyObject_Init[Var]". But there's nothing the caller of the macro can
do about this. So PyObject_Init[Var] should call just PyErr_NoMemory.
Will backport.
'%2147483647d' % -123 segfaults. This was because an integer overflow
in a comparison caused the string resize to be skipped. After fixing
the overflow, this could call _PyString_Resize() with a negative size,
so I (1) test for that and raise MemoryError instead; (2) also added a
test for negative newsize to _PyString_Resize(), raising SystemError
as for all bad arguments.
An identical bug existed in unicodeobject.c, of course.
Will backport to 2.2.2.

sees a Unicode argument. Unfortunately this test was also executed
for %r, because %s and %r share almost all of their code. This meant
that, if u is a unicode object while repr(u) is an 8-bit string
containing ASCII characters, '%r' % u is a *unicode* string containing
only ASCII characters!
Fixed by executing the test only for %s.
Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()

but returns r->len which is a long. This doesn't even cause a warning
on 32-bit platforms, but can return bogus values on 64-bit platforms
(and should cause a compiler warning). Fix this by inserting a range
check when LONG_MAX != INT_MAX, and adding an explicit cast to (int)
when the test passes. When r->len is out of range, PySequence_Size()
and hence len() will report an error (but an iterator will still
work).
Unicode strings (with arbitrary length) are allowed
as entries in the unicode.translate mapping.
Add a test case for multicharacter replacements.
