We needed to make slight changes to __init__() as well.
This will be backported to Python 2.3 when its branch freeze is over.
The chief benefit of this change is that requests will now use
HTTP/1.1 instead of HTTP/1.0. Bump the module version number as part
of the change.
There are two possible incompatibilities that we'll need to watch out
for when we get to an alpha release. We may get a different class of
exceptions out of httplib, and the do_open() method changed its
signature. The latter is only important if anyone actually subclasses
AbstractHTTPHandler.
John J. Lee writes: "the patch makes it possible to implement
functionality like HTTP cookie handling, Refresh handling,
etc. etc. using handler objects. At the moment urllib2's handler
objects aren't quite up to the job, which results in a lot of
cut-n-paste and subclassing. I believe the changes are
backwards-compatible, with the exception of people who've
reimplemented build_opener()'s functionality -- those people would
need to call opener.add_handler(HTTPErrorProcessor).
The main change is allowing handlers to implement
methods like:
http_request(request)
http_response(request, response)
In addition to the usual
http_open(request)
http_error{_*}(...)
"
Note that the change isn't well documented at least in part because
handlers aren't well documented at all. Need to fix this.
Add a bunch of new tests. It appears that none of these tests

subtype_dealloc(): This left the dying object exposed to gc, so that
if cyclic gc triggered during the weakref callback, gc tried to delete
the dying object a second time. That's a disaster. subtype_dealloc()
had a (I hope!) unique problem here, as every normal dealloc routine
untracks the object (from gc) before fiddling with weakrefs etc. But
subtype_dealloc has obscure technical reasons for re-registering the
dying object with gc (already explained in a large comment block at
the bottom of the function).
The fix amounts to simply refraining from reregistering the dying object
with gc until after the weakref callback (if any) has been called.
This is a critical bug (hard to predict, and causes seemingly random

Formerly, underlying queue was implemented in terms of two lists. The

charmaptranslate_makespace() allocated more memory than required for the

file_truncate(): C doesn't define what fflush(fp) does if fp is open
for update, and the preceding I/O operation on fp was input. On Windows,
fflush() actually changes the current file position then. Because
Windows doesn't support ftruncate() directly, this not only caused
Python's file.truncate() to change the file position (contra our docs),
it also caused the file not to change size.
Repaired by getting the initial file position at the start, restoring
it at the end, and tossing all the complicated micro-efficiency checks
trying to avoid "provably unnecessary" seeks. file.truncate() can't
be a frequent operation, and seeking to the current file position has
got to be cheap anyway.
Bugfix candidate.
random.sample() uses one of two algorithms depending on the ratio of the
sample size to the population size. One of the algorithms accepted any
iterable population argument so long as it defined __len__(). The other
had a stronger requirement that the population argument be indexable.
While it met the documentation specifications which insisted that the
population argument be a sequence, it made random.sample() less usable
with sets. So, the second algorithm was modified to coerce non-indexable
iterables and dictionaries into a tuple before proceeding.

non-existent) fcntl gets satisfied by FCNTL.py instead, and the tempfile

a result, temp files can't be created then (blows up with an AttributeError
trying to reference fcntl.fcntl). This just popped up in the spambayes

this in now).
If this doesn't happen, it leaves the locale in a state that can cause
other tests to fail. For example, running test_strptime,
test_logging, and test_time in that order.
skip over functions with private names (as indicated by the underscore
naming convention). The old default created too much of a risk that
user tests were being skipped inadvertently. Note, this change could
break code in the unlikely case that someone had intentionally put
failing tests in the docstrings of private functions. The breakage
is easily fixable by specifying the old behavior when calling testmod()
or Tester(). The more likely case is that the silent failure was
unintended and that the user needed to be informed so the test could be
fixed.

databases are associated with corruption problems, so I studied this code
carefully and ran some brutal stress tests. I didn't find any bugs,
although it's unclear whether this code *intends* that __setitem__ can
leave the directory file out of synch with the data file (so
if a dumbdbm isn't properly closed, and the value of an existing key
was ever replaced, corruption is almost certain, where "corruption"
means the directory file is out of synch with the data file).
Added many comments and generally modernized the code. Examples of the
latter: we have better ways of reading a whole file line-by-line now;
eval() now tolerates a trailing newline; the %r format code can be used
to avoid explicit repr/backtick calls; and the code often broke tuples
into their components when it was clearer and faster to just leave them
as tuples.
Add API function simplefilter() that does not create or install
regular expressions to match message or module. Extend the filters

Move the _test() function to test_warnings and add some code to try

At this point, the problem appears particular to the OS/2 EMX port of

still attached to the above patch entry for reconsideration after 2.3

The test seems to expect that if time.daylight is true, then the
is_dst field of the tm structure will be 1 too. But this isn't
the case, since daylight is true if the timezone does DST, *not*
if DST is in effect.
I won't have time to write real docs, but spent a lot of time adding

There's probably opportunity to consolidate how docstrings get extracted

SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and

now accepts "True" when a test expects "1", and similarly for "False"
versus "0". This is un-doctest-like, but on balance makes it much
more pleasant to write doctests that pass under 2.2 and 2.3. I expect
it to go away again, when 2.2 is forgotten. In the meantime, there's
a new doctest module constant that can be passed to a new optional
argument, if you want to turn this behavior off.
Note that this substitution is very simple-minded: the expected and
actual outputs have to consist of single tokens. No attempt is made,
e.g., to accept [True, False] when a test expects [1, 0]. This is a
simple hack for simple tests, and I intend to keep it that way.
The interning of short strings violates the refcnt==1 assumption for
_PyString_Resize().
A simple fix is to boost the initial value of "totalnew" by 1.
Combined with an NULL argument to PyString_FromStringAndSize(),
this assures that resulting format string is not interned.
This will remain true even if the implementation of
PyString_FromStringAndSize() changes because only the uninitialized
strings that can be interned are those of zero length.
Added a test case.
The constructor() call only made sense when it registered the
constructor as safe for unpickling. We should probably remove the
module-global function, but need to worry about backwards
compatibility.
In response to "shouldn't the client close the file?", the answer is
"no". The original design behind HTTPConnection is that the client did
not have to worry about it. The response would close itself when you
read the last of the data from it. This closing also dealt with
allowing the connection to perform another request/response (if it was
a persistent connection).
However... the auto-close behavior broke compatibility with the
classic httplib.HTTP class' behavior when a zero-length response body
was present. In that situation, the HTTPResponse object was
auto-closing it since there was no data present, and for an HTTP/1.0
connection-close socket (or an HTTP/0.9 request) connection, that also
ended up closing the socket. When an httplib.HTTP user went to read
the socket... boom. A patch to correct the auto-close (for compat with
old httplib users) was added in rev 1.22.
But for non-zero-length *chunked* bodies, we should keep the
auto-close behavior. The library user is not reading the socket (they
can't cuz of the chunked response we just got done handling), so they
should be immune to the response closing the socket. In fact, I would
like to see (one day) the auto-close restored, and the HTTP subclass
would simply have a flag to disable that behavior (for back-compat
purposes).

This is a patch for Bug 755031: If a null byte appears in
a file name, Python zipfile.py retains it, but InfoZip
terminates the name. Null bytes in file names are used
as a trick by viruses. I tested WinZip, and it also
truncates the file name at the null byte.
The patch also fixes a buglet: If a zipfile incorrectly
uses a directory separator other than '/', there was an
invalid complaint that the central directory name does
not match the file header name.
I also removed my name from the top of the file. It was
there for legal reasons which I believe no longer apply.
