to make sure it fell within [-1, 1] just in case someone implementing
strftime() in libc was stupid enough to assume this. Turns out, though, some
OSs (e.g. zOS) are stupid enough to use values outside of this range for time
structs created by the system itself. So instead of throwing a ValueError,
tm_isdst is now normalized before being passed to strftime().
Fixes issue #6823. Thanks Robert Shapiro for diagnosing the problem and
contributing an initial patch.
of values in the time tuple passed in. Unfortunately people came to rely on
undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was
within the valid range. Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.
New include file timefuncs.h exports private API function
_PyTime_DoubleToTimet() from timemodule.c. timemodule should export
some other functions too (look for painful bits in datetimemodule.c).
Added insane-argument checking to datetime's assorted fromtimestamp()
and utcfromtimestamp() methods. Added insane-argument tests of these
to test_datetime, and insane-argument tests for ctime(), localtime()
and gmtime() to test_time.
are within proper boundaries as specified in the docs.
This can break possible code (datetime module needed changing, for instance)
that uses 0 for values that need to be greater 1 or greater (month, day, and
day of year).
Fixes bug #897625.
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
