Tim Peters db3756dade Some nifty doctest extensions from Jim Fulton, currently used in Zope3.
I won't have time to write real docs, but spent a lot of time adding
comments to his code and fleshing out the exported functions' docstrings.
There's probably opportunity to consolidate how docstrings get extracted
too, and the new code for that is probably better than the old code for
that (which strained mightily to recover from 2.2's new class/type
gimmicks).

Raymond Hettinger 6f3eaa67e5 SF patch #761519: Fixes for bugs 760703 and 757821
SF bug #760703: SocketHandler and LogRecord don't work well together
SF bug #757821: logging module docs

Applied Vinay Sajip's patch with a few minor fixups and a NEWS item.

Patched __init__.py - added new function
makeLogRecord (for bug report 760703).

Patched handlers.py - updated some docstrings and
deleted some old commented-out code.

Patched test_logging.py to make use of makeLogRecord.

Patched liblogging.tex to fill documentation gaps (both
760703 and bug 757821).

Tim Peters 6ebe61fa80 A hack to ease compatibility with pre-2.3 Pythons: by default, doctest
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.

Tim Peters faa697a5c9 2.3b2 on Windows will ship with Tcl/Tk 8.4.3. Note: this still didn't
fix the hangs on Win98SE when starting IDLE via "python" from a DOS box,
but did appear to make them harder to provoke.  I closed that bug report
as being hopeless (and if someone wants to open it again, don't dare
assign it to me again <0.1 wink>).

called.

Added announcement in Misc/NEWS for thread.interrupt_main and mention of
dummy_thread's change.

Guido van Rossum 99d2c251df SF patch 707900, fixing bug 702858, by Steven Taschuk.
Copying a new-style class that had a reference to itself didn't work.
(The same thing worked fine for old-style classes.)

Neil Schemenauer 4e3363e884 Warn about creating global variables by __setattr__ that shadow builtin
names.  Unfortunately, this is not bulletproof since the module
dictionary can be modified directly.

Gustavo Niemeyer 9556fba685 - urllib2.py now knows how to order proxy classes, so the user doesn't
have to insert it in front of other classes, nor do dirty tricks like
  inserting a "dummy" HTTPHandler after a ProxyHandler when building an
  opener with proxy support.

Tim Peters 50d8b8b6ae Fleshed out WeakKeyDictionary.__delitem__ NEWS to cover issues raised on
Python-Dev.  Fixed typos in test comments.  Added some trivial new test
guts to show the parallelism (now) among __delitem__, __setitem__ and
__getitem__ wrt error conditions.

Still a bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 final, but waiting for Fred to get a
chance to chime in.

Tim Peters 886128f4f8 SF 742860: WeakKeyDictionary __delitem__ uses iterkeys
Someone review this, please!  Final releases are getting close, Fred
(the weakref guy) won't be around until Tuesday, and the pre-patch
code can indeed raise spurious RuntimeErrors in the presence of
threads or mutating comparison functions.

See the bug report for my confusions:  I can't see any reason for why
__delitem__ iterated over the keys.  The new one-liner implementation
is much faster, can't raise RuntimeError, and should be better-behaved
in all respects wrt threads.

New tests test_weak_keyed_bad_delitem and
test_weak_keyed_cascading_deletes fail before this patch.

Bugfix candidate for 2.2.3 too, if someone else agrees with this patch.

Tim Peters e87568dd9a SF bug 705231: Assertion failed, python aborts.
float_pow():  Don't let the platform pow() raise -1.0 to an integer power
anymore; at least glibc gets it wrong in some cases.  Note that
math.pow() will continue to deliver wrong (but platform-native) results
in such cases.

Tim Peters 3cfe75470d PyType_Ready(): Complain if the type is a base type, and gc'able, and
tp_free is NULL or PyObject_Del at the end.  Because it's a base type
it must call tp_free in its dealloc function, and because it's gc'able
it must not call PyObject_Del.

inherit_slots():  Don't inherit tp_free unless the type and its base
agree about whether they're gc'able.  If the type is gc'able and the
base is not, and the base uses the default PyObject_Del for its
tp_free, give the type PyObject_GC_Del for its tp_free (the appropriate
default for a gc'able type).

cPickle.c:  The Pickler and Unpickler types claim to be base classes
and gc'able, but their dealloc functions didn't call tp_free.
Repaired that.  Also call PyType_Ready() on these typeobjects, so
that the correct (PyObject_GC_Del) default memory-freeing function
gets plugged into these types' tp_free slots.

Raymond Hettinger 22952a3efc SF bug 735293: Command line timeit.py sets sys.path badly
Paul Moore's patch to have timeit.py check the current directory for
imports (instead of the directory for Lib/timeit.py).

Walter Dörwald 9e46abed50 Fix array.array.insert(), so that it treats negative indices as
being relative to the end of the array, just like list.insert() does.
This closes SF bug #739313.

Tim Peters b0c854d6a7 datetime.timedelta is now subclassable in Python. The new test shows
one good use:  a subclass adding a method to express the duration as
a number of hours (or minutes, or whatever else you want to add).  The
native breakdown into days+seconds+us is often clumsy.  Incidentally
moved a large chunk of object-initialization code closer to the top of
the file, to avoid worse forward-reference trickery.

Tim Peters a98924a063 datetime.datetime and datetime.time can now be subclassed in Python. Brr. 2003-05-17 05:55:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa19f7c20d More fixes according to SF 549151:
- When redirecting, always use GET.  This is common practice and
  more-or-less sanctioned by the HTTP standard.

- Add a handler for 307 redirection, which becomes an error for POST,
  but a regular redirect for GET and HEAD.

Tim Peters c4607dadce Leading "C:" no longer hardcoded in the default installation directory.
After removing that, two testers on machines where C: is not the system
drive reported that the installer suggested their system drive instead
of C:, and that's what they wanted it to do.

Raymond Hettinger 686b14d7ad SF bug #730296: Unexpected Changes in list Iterator
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.

This caused some usabilty and performance problems.  Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter.  Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.
