- SLOT1BINFULL() macro: changed this to check for __rop__ overriding
__op__, like binary_op1() in abstract.c -- the latter only calls the
slot function once if both types use the same slot function, so the
slot function must make both calls -- which it already did for the
__op__, __rop__ order, but not yet for the __rop__, __op__ order
when B.__class__ is a subclass of A.__class__.
Also test the refinement added in rev. 2.201 that fixes the problem
reported in SF bug #623669.
Also test a similar provision in abstract.c's binary_op1().
Most of these patches are from Thomas Heller, with long lines folded
by Tim. The change to test_descr.py is from Guido. See the bug report.
Not a bugfix candidate -- METH_CLASS is new in 2.3.
see problems with my code that I didn't see before the checkin, but:
When a subtype .mro() fails, we need to reset the type whose __bases__
are being changed, too. Fix + test.
[ 635933 ] make some type attrs writable
Plus a couple of extra tests beyond what's up there.
It hasn't been as carefully reviewed as it perhaps should, so all readers
are encouraged, nay exhorted, to give this a close reading.
There are still a couple of oddities related to assigning to __name__,
but I intend to solicit python-dev's opinions on these.
classes was called with three arguments. This makes no sense, there's
no way to pass in the "modulo" 3rd argument as for __pow__, and
classic classes don't do this. [SF bug 620179]
I don't want to backport this to 2.2.2, because it could break
existing code that has developed a work-around. Code in 2.2.2 that
wants to use __ipow__ and wants to be forward compatible with 2.3
should be written like this:
def __ipow__(self, exponent, modulo=None):
...
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".
This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).
Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)
debug-build failure when an instance of a new-style class is resurrected
by a __del__ method -- we simply never had any code that tried this.
This is already fixed in 2.3 CVS. In 2.2.1, it blows up via
Fatal Python error: GC object already in linked list
I'll fix it in 2.2.1 CVS next.
In a fresh interpreter, type.mro(tuple) would segfault, because
PyType_Ready() isn't called for tuple yet. To fix, call
PyType_Ready(type) if type->tp_dict is NULL.
473985. Through a subtle rearrangement of some members in the etype
struct (!), mapping methods are now preferred over sequence methods,
which is necessary to support str.__getitem__("hello", slice(4)) etc.
Straightforward fix. Will backport to 2.2. If there's ever a new 2.1
release, this could be backported there too (since it's an issue with
anything that's got both a __reduce__ and a __setstate__).
While I was at it, I added a tp_clear handler and changed the
tp_dealloc handler to use the clear_slots helper for the tp_clear
handler.
Also tightened the rules for slot names: they must now be proper
identifiers (ignoring the dirty little fact that <ctype.h> is locale
sensitive).
Also set mp->flags = READONLY for the __weakref__ pseudo-slot.
Most of this is a 2.2 bugfix candidate; I'll apply it there myself.
returned a proxy for __class__ whose __bases__ was also a proxy. The
merge_class_dict() helper for dir() assumed incorrectly that __bases__
would always be a tuple and used the in-line tuple API on the proxy.
I will backport this to 2.2 as well.
Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance). This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a
new-style class that returns instance docs when called on an instance,
and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.
I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.
PyNumber_InPlaceMultiply insisted on calling sq_inplace_repeat if it
existed, even if nb_inplace_multiply also existed and the arguments
weren't right for sq_inplace_repeat. Change this to only use
sq_inplace_repeat if nb_inplace_multiply isn't defined.
Bugfix candidate.
