* Fix multiple typos in code comments
* Add spacing in comments (test_logging.py, test_math.py)
* Fix spaces at the beginning of comments in test_logging.py
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
* bpo-31479: Always reset the signal alarm in tests
Use "try: ... finally: signal.signal(0)" pattern to make sure that
tests don't "leak" a pending fatal signal alarm.
* Move two more alarm() calls into the try block
Fix also typo: replace signal.signal(0) with signal.alarm(0)
* Move another signal.alarm() into the try block
test_io has two unit tests which trigger a deadlock:
* test_daemon_threads_shutdown_stdout_deadlock()
* test_daemon_threads_shutdown_stderr_deadlock()
These tests call Py_FatalError() if the expected bug is triggered
which calls abort(). Use test.support.SuppressCrashReport to prevent
the creation on a core dump, to fix the warning:
Warning -- files was modified by test_io
Before: []
After: ['python.core']
This matches the usage of ZipFile and BufferedWriter. This still requires
return values to be bytes() objects.
Also document and test that the write() methods should only access their
argument before they return.
