exceptions that can't be raised any further, because (for instance) they
occur in __del__ methods. The coroutine tests in test_generators was
triggering this leak. Remove the leakers' testcase, and add a simpler
testcase that explicitly tests this leak to test_generators.
test_generators now no longer leaks at all, on my machine. This fix may also
solve other leaks, but my full refleakhunting run is still busy, so who
knows?
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P
passing a string. Martin already fixed the actual crash by ensuring
Py_UNICODE is unsigned. As discussed on python-dev, this fix
removes the possibility of creating a unicode string from a raw buffer.
There is an outstanding question of how to fix the crash in 2.4.
that are suspended outside of any try/except/finally blocks to be
garbage collected even if they are part of a cycle. Generators that
suspend inside of an active try/except or try/finally block (including
those created by a ``with`` statement) are still not GC-able if they
are part of a cycle, however.
Re-enable all the tests in test_trace.py except one. Still not sure that these tests test what they used to test, but they pass. One failing test seems to be caused by undocumented line number table behavior in Python 2.4.
tracing/line number table in except blocks.
Reflow long lines introduced by col_offset changes. Update test_ast
to handle new fields in excepthandler.
As note in Python.asdl says, we might want to rethink how attributes
are handled. Perhaps they should be the same as other fields, with
the primary difference being how they are defined for all types within
a sum.
Also fix asdl_c so that constructors with int fields don't fail when
passed a zero value.
Explicitly clear all elements from arena->a_objects and remove
assert() that refcount is 1. It's possible for a program to get a

Add tests for this case and the proper way to unpack a tuple of one:

test_inpsect was incorrect before. I'm not sure why it was passing,
but that has been corrected with a test for both functions above.
This means the test (and therefore inspect.getargspec()) are broken in 2.4.
objimpl.h, pymem.h: Stop mapping PyMem_{Del, DEL} and PyMem_{Free, FREE}
to PyObject_{Free, FREE} in a release build. They're aliases for the
system free() now.
_subprocess.c/sp_handle_dealloc(): Since the memory was originally
obtained via PyObject_NEW, it must be released via PyObject_FREE (or
_DEL).
pythonrun.c, tokenizer.c, parsermodule.c: I lost count of the number of
PyObject vs PyMem mismatches in these -- it's like the specific
function called at each site was picked at random, sometimes even with
memory obtained via PyMem getting released via PyObject. Changed most
to use PyObject uniformly, since the blobs allocated are predictably
small in most cases, and obmalloc is generally faster than system
mallocs then.
If extension modules in real life prove as sloppy as Python's front
end, we'll have to revert the objimpl.h + pymem.h part of this patch.
Note that no problems will show up in a debug build (all calls still go
thru obmalloc then). Problems will show up only in a release build, most
likely segfaults.
This will hopefully get rid of some Coverity warnings, be a hint to
developers, and be marginally faster.
Some asserts were added when the type is currently known, but depends

Anyway, this is the changes to the with-statement

added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception. It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style. KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly. String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.
Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
- New semantics for __exit__() -- it must re-raise the exception
if type is not None; the with-statement itself doesn't do this.
(See the updated PEP for motivation.)
- Added context managers to:
- file
- thread.LockType
- threading.{Lock,RLock,Condition,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore}
- decimal.Context
- Added contextlib.py, which defines @contextmanager, nested(), closing().
- Unit tests all around; bot no docs yet.
- IMPORT_NAME takes an extra argument from the stack: the relativeness of
the import. Only passed to __import__ when it's not -1.
- __import__() takes an optional 5th argument for the same thing; it
__defaults to -1 (old semantics: try relative, then absolute)
- 'from . import name' imports name (be it module or regular attribute)
from the current module's *package*. Likewise, 'from .module import name'
will import name from a sibling to the current module.
- Importing from outside a package is not allowed; 'from . import sys' in a
toplevel module will not work, nor will 'from .. import sys' in a
(single-level) package.
- 'from __future__ import absolute_import' will turn on the new semantics
for import and from-import: imports will be absolute, except for
from-import with dots.
Includes tests for regular imports and importhooks, parser changes and a
NEWS item, but no compiler-package changes or documentation changes.
In a Windows debug build, trying to open a file using
an empty string as the name causes assertion death
inside MS's C runtime code. We probably need to worm
around that in many places. I'm worming around it here
to stop the new test_with.py from assert-dying in the
Windows debug build (it calls compile() with an empty
string for "the file name", which indirectly leads to
C-level code in Python trying to fopen("", "r")).
This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).
This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.
There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).
PyThreadState_Delete(): if the auto-GIL-state machinery knows about
the thread state, forget it (since the thread state is being deleted,
continuing to remember it can't help, but can hurt if another thread
happens to get created with the same thread id).
I'll backport to 2.4 next.
breaks the parser module, because it adds the if/else construct as well as
two new grammar rules for backward compatibility. If no one else fixes
parsermodule, I guess I'll go ahead and fix it later this week.
The TeX code was checked with texcheck.py, but not rendered. There is

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Since there's no way the former version can be useful, it's probably a
bugfix ;)
Expand set of errors caught in set_context(). Some new errors, some
old error messages changed for consistency.
Fixed error checking in generator expression code. The first set of
tests were impossible condition given the grammar. In general, the
ast code uses REQ() for those sanity checks.
Fix some error handling for augmented assignments. As comments in the
code explain, set_context() ought to work here, but I got unexpected
crashes when I tried it. Should come back to this.
Add note to Grammar that yield expression is a special case.
Add doctest cases for SyntaxErrors raised by ast.c.
Squash new warnings from VC 7.1 about mixing signed and
unsigned types in comparisons. I can see why `len` was
changed to size_t here, but don't see why `i` was also
changed. Change `i` back to int.
This code generated a C assertion:
assert 1, ([s for s in x] +
[s for s in x])
pass
assert was completely broken, it needed to use the proper block.
compiler_use_block() is now no longer used, so remove it.
Add C API function Py_GetBuildNumber(), add it to the interactive prompt
banner (i.e. Py_GetBuildInfo()), and add it as the sys.build_number
attribute. The build number is a string instead of an int because it may
contain a trailing 'M' if there are local modifications.
Strip off leading dots and slash so the generated files are the same regardless
of whether you configure in the checkout directory or build.
If anyone configures in a different directory, we might want a cleaner
approach using os.path.*(). Hopefully this is good enough.
If a line had multiple semi-colons and ended with a semi-colon, we would
loop too many times and access a NULL node. Exit the loop early if
there are no more children.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
Incorrect code was generated for:
foo(a = i for i in range(10))
This should have generated a SyntaxError. Fix the Grammar so
it raises a SyntaxError and test it.
I'm uncertain whether this should be backported. It makes
something that was Syntactically valid invalid. However,
the code would either be completely broken or do the wrong thing.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
- SF Bug #772896, unknown encoding results in MemoryError, which is not helpful
I will only backport the segfault fix. I'll let Anthony decide if he wants
the other changes backported. I will do the backport if asked.
Fix over-aggressive PyErr_Clear(). The same code fragment appears in
various guises in list.extend(), map(), filter(), zip(), and internally
in PySequence_Tuple().
- Handle both frozenset() and frozenset([]).
- Do not use singleton for frozenset subclasses.
- Finalize the singleton.
- Add test cases.

[ 1180995 ] binary formats for marshalling floats
Adds 2 new type codes for marshal (binary floats and binary complexes), a
new marshal version (2), updates MAGIC and fiddles the de-serializing of
code objects to be less likely to clobber the real reason for failing if
it fails.
[ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can
which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in
anyway if noone reviews it. Please read the diff on the checkin list,
at least!
The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if
the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so
_PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around.
The rest is hair for testing, and tests.
A problem regarding importing symlinked modules was recently reported on the
Cygwin mailing list:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00257.html
The following test case demonstrates the problem:
$ ls -l
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jt None 6 Apr 23 13:32 bar.py -> foo.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 jt None 24 Apr 18 20:13 foo.py
$ python -c 'import bar'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named bar
Since Cygwin's case_ok() uses a modified version of the Windows's version, the
symlinked bar module actually resolves to file foo.py instead of bar.py. This
obviously causes the matching code to fail (regardless of case).
The patch fixes this problem by making Cygwin use the Mac OS X case_ok()
instead of a modified Window's version.
If we exit via the break here, we need to set ff_last_lineno or
FUTURE_POSSIBLE() will remain true. The bug affected statements
containing a variety of expressions, but not all expressions. It has

PyGILState_Ensure(): The fix in 2.4a3 for bug 1010677 reintroduced thread
shutdown race bug 225673. Repaired by (once again) ensuring the GIL is
held whenever deleting a thread state.
Alas, there's no useful test case for this shy bug. Four years ago, only
Guido could provoke it, on his box, and today only Armin can provoke it
on his box. I've never been able to provoke it (but not for lack of
trying!).
This is a critical fix for 2.3.5 too, since the fix for 1010677 got
backported there already and so also reintroduced 225673. I don't intend to
backport this fix. For whoever (if anyone) does, there are other thread
fixes in 2.4 that need backporting too, and I bet they need to happen first
for this patch to apply cleanly.

This patch trims down the Python core on Darwin by making it
independent of CoreFoundation and CoreServices. It does this by:
Changed linker flags in configure/configure.in
Removed the unused PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile
Moved the implementation of PyMac_StrError to the MacOS module
Moved the implementation of PyMac_GetFullPathname to the
Carbon.File module
* Use simpler, faster two pass algorithm for markblocks().
* Free the blocks variable if not NULL and exiting without change.
* Verify that the rest of the compiler has not set an exception.
* Make the test for tuple of constants less restrictive.
* Embellish the comment for chained conditional jumps.
Peepholer could be fooled into misidentifying a tuple_of_constants.
Added code to count consecutive occurrences of LOAD_CONST.
Use the count to weed out the misidentified cases.
Added a unittest.
thread's id can't get duplicated, because (of course!) the current thread

gratuitous change should make backporting easier, and gets the bad
reasoning out of 2.35's new comments.

PyThread_set_key_value(): It's clear that this code assumes the passed-in
value isn't NULL, so document that it must not be, and assert that it
isn't. It remains unclear whether existing callers want the odd semantics

High level error message was stomping useful detailed messages from lower
level routines.
The new approach is to augment string error messages returned by the low
level routines. The provides both high and low level information. If
the exception value is not a string, no changes are made.
To see the improved messages in action, type:
import random
class R(random): pass
class B(bool): pass
Allows the lineno fixup code to remain simple and not have to deal with
multibyte codings.

* Remove the XXX comment on the subject.
