Since all versions since 2.2 are under the same licensing terms,
this saves the release manager from touching the two files for
very new minor release.
Initial patch by Bruno Piguet.
This is implemented as if a useful .netrc file could exist without passwords,
which is possible in the general case; but in fact our netrc implementation
does not support it. Fixing that issue will be an enhancement.
When test.support was converted to a package, it started silently
skipping the tests which needed to download support data to run.
This change refactors the affected code, and also tidies up
test.support.findfile to remove the unused *here* parameter, document
the *subdir* parameter and rename the *filename* parameter to avoid
shadowing the file builtin and be consistent with the documentation.
The unexpected skips were noticed and reported by Zachary Ware
Using ``method`` markup because the method is on a callback object, not an
explicitly documented method. :meth: markup creates links within the current
class which is incorrect.
In addition, indent the paragraph correctly.
With importlib getting used more and more, changing __import__ will
not work as well as people used to hope as it will potentially bypass
importers, etc. It also will not work with importlib.import_module()
as it uses "importlib.__import__" (i.e. importlib's implementation of
import) directly and not builtins.__import__.
* describe how \w is different when used in bytes and Unicode patterns.
* describe re.ASCII flag to change that behaviour.
* remove personal references ('I generally prefer...')
* add some more links to the re module in the library reference
* various small edits and re-wording.
testcleanup directive is new as of 1.1, and we are currently running
1.0.7. But using testsetup works just as well, and avoids the
unknown directive error when building the docs.
With the exception of the 'as_string' call in the policy docs.
That one is a separate issue.
Note that when building the docs sphinx is complaining about
.. testcleanup:: being an invalid directive. I don't know
why this is, as I'm following the sphinx docs...but fortunately
the action is to omit the text in the body, so the generated
documentation is correct.
