rfc822 (Addresslist) modules. Also a preliminary testcase for augmented
assignment, which should actually be merged with the test_class testcase I
added last week.
so that a subclass can override it.
This partly addresses Bug #112634 -- but the documentation is still
wrong, since it suggests that you can set self.version *after* calling
the base class __init__. In fact it must be done *before*.
I'll fix that too.
Add the EXTENDED_ARG opcode to the virtual machine, allowing 32-bit
arguments to opcodes instead of being forced to stick to the 16-bit
limit. This is especially useful for machine-generated code, which
can be too long for the SET_LINENO parameter to fit into 16 bits.
This closes the implementation portion of SourceForge patch #100893.
Patch description
-----------------
This addresses four issues:
(1) usernames and passwords in urls with special characters are now
decoded properly. i.e. http://foo%2C:bar@www.whatever.com/
(2) Basic Auth support has been added to HTTPS, like it was in HTTP.
(3) Version 1.92 sent the POSTed data, but did not deal with errors
(HTTP responses other than 200) properly. HTTPS now behaves the
same way HTTP does.
(4) made URL-checking beahve the same way with HTTPS as it does with
HTTP (changed == to !=).
docs changes are needed (only reference to winreg I could find
was in libwinreg.tex, which is documenting _winreg, and merely
mentions that a higher-level winreg module *may* appear someday;
that's still true).
os.name == "nt". This makes test_popen2 pass under Win98SE.
HOWEVER, the Win98 "more" invents a leading newline out
of thin air, and I'm not sure that the other Windows flavors
of "more" also do that.
So, somebody please try under other Windows flavors!
name as n'. By doing some twists and turns, "as" is not a reserved word.
There is a slight change in semantics for 'from module import name' (it will
now honour the 'global' keyword) but only in cases that are explicitly
undocumented.
is no __getslice__ available. Also does the same for C extension types.
Includes rudimentary documentation (it could use a cross reference to the
section on slice objects, I couldn't figure out how to do that) and a test
suite for all Python __hooks__ I could think of, including the new
behaviour.
