cStringIO does not get it right (reported as SF bug #115531).
Added test for ValueError when write() is called on a closed StringIO
object. Commented out because cStringIO does not get it right
(reported as SF bug #115530).
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
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).
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.
rfc822 (Addresslist) modules. Also a preliminary testcase for augmented
assignment, which should actually be merged with the test_class testcase I
added last week.
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).
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.
