been increased from 100 to 500 and the cache replacement policy has changed
from simply clearing the entire cache on overflow to randomly forgetting 20%
of the existing cached compiled regular expressions. This is a performance
win for applications that use a lot of regular expressions and limits the
impact of the performance hit anytime the cache is exceeded.
The EPIPE error occurs when the server closes the socket and the client sends a
"big" XML-RPC request (I don't know exactly the size threshold).
request() just have to ignore the error because single_request() closes the
socket on error, and so the next call to single_request() will open a new
socket.
Remove also a comment in the HTTP client because it's now wrong: see r70643
and issue #5542.
with the fact that getgroups(2) might return
more that MAX_GROUPS on OSX.
See the issue (and python-dev archives) for the
gory details. Summarized: OSX behaves rather oddly
and Apple says this is intentional.
configure to append to Python's default values for those variables, and
similarly allow users to set $XXFLAGS on the make command line to append to the
values set by configure.
In the makefile, this renames the variables that used to be $XXFLAGS to
$PY_XXFLAGS, and renames the old $PY_CFLAGS to $PY_CORE_CFLAGS. To compensate,
sysconfig now aliases $XXFLAGS=$PY_XXFLAGS so that scripts using it keep
working. I see that as the right interface, not a backward-compatibility hack,
since these are logically the $XXFLAGS variables; we just use a different name
in the makefile to deal with make's semantics.
Added Windows support for os.symlink when run on Windows 6.0 or greater,
aka Vista. Previous Windows versions will raise NotImplementedError
when trying to symlink.
Includes numerous test updates and additions to test_os, including
a symlink_support module because of the fact that privilege escalation
is required in order to run the tests to ensure that the user is able
to create symlinks. By default, accounts do not have the required
privilege, so the escalation code will have to be exposed later (or
documented on how to do so). I'll be following up with that work next.
Note that the tests use ctypes, which was agreed on during the PyCon
language summit.

reality it's simply an implementation detail for CPython. This point is now
clearly documented in both the docs for dis and the glossary.
Closes issue #7829. Thanks to Terry Reedy for some initial suggestions on
wording.
1) #8271: when a byte sequence is invalid, only the start byte and all the
valid continuation bytes are now replaced by U+FFFD, instead of replacing
the number of bytes specified by the start byte.
See http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.2.0/ch03.pdf (pages 94-95);
2) 5- and 6-bytes-long UTF-8 sequences are now considered invalid (no changes
in behavior);
3) Change the error messages "unexpected code byte" to "invalid start byte"
and "invalid data" to "invalid continuation byte";
4) Add an extensive set of tests in test_unicode;
5) Fix test_codeccallbacks because it was failing after this change.
