- Fix for SF bug #482752: __getstate__ & __setstate__ ignored (by Anon.)
In fact, only __getstate__ isn't recognized. This fixes that.
- Separately, the test for base.__flags__ & _HEAPTYPE raised an
AttributeError exception when a classic class was amongst the
bases. Fixed this with a hasattr() bandaid (classic classes never
qualify as the "hard" base class anyway, which is what the code is
trying to find).
confusing error messages. If a new-style class has no sequence or
mapping behavior, attempting to use the indexing notation with a
non-integer key would complain that the sequence index must be an
integer, rather than complaining that the operation is not supported.
use the correct way to test for epoch, by looking at the year
component of gmtime(0). Add clause for Unix epoch and Mac epoch (Tim,
what is Windows epoch?).
Also, get rid of the strptime() test, it was way too problematic given
that strptime() is missing on many platforms and issues with locales.
Instead, simply test that formatdate() gets the numeric timezone
calculation correct for the altzone and timezone.
incorrect for "uneven" timezones. This algorithm should work for even
timezones (e.g. America/New_York) and uneven timezones (e.g.
Australia/Adelaide and America/St_Johns).
Closes SF bug #483231.
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).
Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.
split parameters from the last path segment. Introduces two new functions,
urlsplit() and urlunsplit(), that do the simpler job of splitting the URL
without monkeying around with the parameters field, since that was not being
handled properly.
This closes bug #478038.
find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them
into SystemError. The latter is definitely not the right thing to do,
so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to
simply propagate up if they occur.
[1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.
load_inst(): Implement the security hook that cPickle already had.
When unpickling callables which are not classes, we look to see if the
object has an attribute __safe_for_unpickling__. If this exists and
has a true value, then we can call it to create the unpickled object.
Otherwise we raise an UnpicklingError.
find_class(): We no longer mask ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError by transforming them into SystemError. The latter is
definitely not the right thing to do, so we let the former three
exceptions simply propagate up if they occur, i.e. we remove the
try/except!
documentation. This addresses previously undocumented parts of the
public interfaces, the differences between pickle and cPickle,
security concerns, and on and on.
