- Add tests for the module-level load() and dump() functions.
- Add tests for cPickle's internal data structures, stressing workloads
with many gets/puts.
- Add tests for the Pickler and Unpickler classes, in particular the
memo attribute.
- test_xpickle is extended to test backwards compatibility with Python
2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 by round-tripping pickled objects through a worker
process. This is guarded with a regrtest -u xpickle resource.
This adds a --randseed option, and makes regrtest.py -r indicate what random seed it's using so that that value can later be fed back to --randseed. This option is useful for tracking down test order-related issues found by make buildbottest, for example.
Renamed copy_reg to copyreg in the standard library, to avoid
spurious warnings and ease later merging to py3k branch. Public
documentation remains intact.
When cls is an ABCMeta, every call to isinstance(x, cls)
records type(x) in the cls._abc_cache of cls_abc_negative_cache.
So we clear these caches at the end of the test.
inspect.isabstract() is not the correct test for all ABCs, because there is no @abstractmethod in io.py (why?)
isinstance(cls, ABCMeta) would be more exact, but it fails with an infinite recursion.
So I used a hack to determine whether a class is an ABCMeta.
The true correction would be to turn cls._abc_cache &co into a WeakSet, as py3k does.
But classic classes are not weak referenceable...
Of course, this change should not be merged into the py3k branch.
The patch adds wrappers for the Linux epoll syscalls and the BSD kqueue syscalls. Thanks to Thomas Herve and the Twisted people for their support and help.
TODO: Finish documentation documentation
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache
* Much expanded test suite:
All protocols tested against all other protocols.
All protocols tested with all certificate options.
Tests for bad key and bad cert.
Test of STARTTLS functionality.
Test of RAND_* functions.
* Fixes for threading/malloc bug.
* Issue 1065 fixed:
sslsocket class renamed to SSLSocket.
sslerror class renamed to SSLError.
Function "wrap_socket" now used to wrap an existing socket.
* Issue 1583946 finally fixed:
Support for subjectAltName added.
Subject name now returned as proper DN list of RDNs.
* SSLError exported from socket as "sslerror".
* RAND_* functions properly exported from ssl.py.
* Documentation improved:
Example of how to create a self-signed certificate.
Better indexing.
