interpreter shutdown semantics. Same issue goes for the methods that __del__
called. Now all the methods capture the global objects it needs as default
values to private parameters (could have stuck them on the class object itself,
but since the objects have nothing directly to do with the class that seemed
wrong).
There is no test as making one that works is hard. This patch was
verified against a consistently failing test in Mercurial's test suite, though,
so it has been tested in some regard.
Closes issue #5099. Thanks to Mary Stern for the bug report and Gabriel
Genellina for writing another patch for the same issue and attempting to write
a test.
to "sys.platform == 'mac'" and that is
dead code because it refers to a platform
that is no longer supported (and hasn't been
supported for several releases).
Fixes issue #7908 for the trunk.
OSX 10.6 in that after os.fork() the parent and
child generate the same sequence of UUIDs.
This patch falls back to the the Python implementation
on OSX 10.6 or later.
Fixes issue #8621.
calling a foreign function. This allows to use the unmodified libffi
library.
Remove most files from _ctypes/libffi_msvc, only two include files
stay (updated from _ctypes/libffi/...). Other files are used in the
cross-platform _ctypes/libffi directory.
any non-float non-integer argument is now converted to an integer (if
possible) using its __int__ method. Previously, only small arguments
were treated this way; larger arguments (those whose __int__ was
outside the range of a C long) would produce a TypeError.
Patch by Alexander Belopolsky (with minor modifications).
When a Decimal operation raises multiple signals and more than one of
those signals is trapped, the specification determines the order in
which the signals should be handled. In many cases this order wasn't
being followed, leading to the wrong Python exception being raised.
This commit fixes those cases, and adds extra tests. The tests are
only enabled when EXTENDEDERRORTESTS is True, since they involve
rerunning each Decimal testcase several times.
framework install of Python in your home directory (on OSX):
$ configure --enable-framework=${HOME}/Library/Frameworks
$ make && make install
Without this patch the framework would get installed just fine,
but 'make install' would try to install the application bundles
and command-line tools outside the user's home, which doesn't work
for non-admin users (and is bad form anyway).
