fast as split in all our tests (reverse takes no time at all), and
splitlines() is nearly as fast as a plain split("\n") in our tests.

compiler warnings on Windows (signed vs unsigned mismatch

- Add missing DECREFs of inner-scope 'temp' variable
- Add various missing DECREFs by changing 'return NULL' into 'goto onError'
- Avoid double DECREF when last _PyUnicode_Resize() fails
Coverity found one of the missing DECREFs, but oddly enough not the others.
Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST can evaluate its first argument multiple
times in a debug build. This caused two distinct assert-
failures in test_unicode run under a debug build. Rewrote
the code in trivial ways so that multiple evaluation of the
first argument doesn't hurt.
This is how string objects work. u'%f' could use , instead of .
for the decimal point. Now both strings and unicode always use periods.
This is the code that would break:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE')
u'%.1f' % 1.0
assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0
I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem.
Will backport.
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 *.
[ 1327110 ] wrong TypeError traceback in generator expressions

about illegal code points. The codec now supports PEP 293 style error handlers.
(This is a variant of the Nik Haldimann's patch that detects truncated data)
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
need to convert str objects from the iterable to unicode. So, if
someone set the system default encoding to something nasty enough,
the conversion process could mutate the input iterable as a side
effect, and PySequence_Fast doesn't hide that from us if the input was
a list. IOW, can't assume the size of PySequence_Fast's result is
invariant across PyUnicode_FromObject() calls.
much to reduce the size of the code, but greatly improves its clarity.
It's also quicker in what's probably the most common case (the argument
iterable is a list). Against it, if the iterable isn't a list or a tuple,
a temp tuple is materialized containing the entire input sequence, and
that's a bigger temp memory burden. Yawn.
1. u1.join([u2]) is u2
2. Be more careful about C-level int overflow.
Since PySequence_Fast() isn't needed to achieve #1, it's not used -- but
the code could sure be simpler if it were.

simple width() function using it like this:
def width(u):
w = 0
for c in unicodedata.normalize('NFC', u):
cwidth = unicodedata.east_asian_width(c)
if cwidth in ('W', 'F'): w += 2
else: w += 1

This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
'L'. The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.
charmaptranslate_makespace() allocated more memory than required for the
next replacement but didn't remember that fact, so memory size was growing
exponentially every time a replacement string is longer that one character.
This fixes SF bug #828737.
If a length-1 Unicode string was in the freelist and it was
uninitialized or pointed to a very large (magnitude) negative number,
the check
unicode_latin1[unicode->str[0]] == unicode
could cause a segmentation violation, e.g. unicode->str[0] is 0xcbcbcbcb.
Fix this in two ways:
1. Change guard befor unicode_latin1[] to test against 256U. If I
understand correctly, the unsigned long used to store UCS4 on my
box was getting converted to a signed long to compare with the
signed constant 256.
2. Change _PyUnicode_New() to make sure the first element of str is
always initialized to zero. There are several places in the code
where the caller can exit with an error before initializing any
of str, which would leave junk in str[0].
Also, silence a compiler warning on pointer vs. int arithmetic.
Bug fix candidate.
The unicode_resize() family only returns -1 or 0 so simply checking
for != 0 is sufficient, but somewhat unclear. Many Python API
functions return < 0 on error, reserving the right to return 0 or 1 on
success. Change the call sites for consistency with these calls.
when an encoding error occurs and the callback name is unknown,
i.e. when the callback has to be called. The problem was that
the fact that the callback has already been looked up was only
recorded in a local variable in charmap_encoding_error(), because
charmap_encoding_error() got it's own copy of the errorHandler
pointer instead of a pointer to the pointer in
PyUnicode_EncodeCharmap().

error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of

Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.

from the callback is negative *add* it to the size

Add some testing for this.
Also add support for setting the 'fast' flag on the Python Pickler class,
which suppresses use of the memo.
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value
This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.
