Some time ago we changed the docs to consistently use the term 'bytes-like
object' in all the contexts where bytes, bytearray, memoryview, etc are used.
This patch (by Ezio Melotti) completes that work by changing the error
messages that previously reported that certain types did "not support the
buffer interface" to instead say that a bytes-like object is required. (The
glossary entry for bytes-like object references the discussion of the buffer
protocol in the docs.)
A debian code search (by Tshepang Lekhonkhobe) turned up only one package
checking email.__version__...and it was the 2.7-only mailman package. Since
Barry approves this change, it seems safe enough to make it...
Both compileall.compile_dir() and the CLI for compileall now allow for
specifying how many workers to use (or 0 to use all CPUs).
Thanks to Claudiu Popa for the patch.
threading.Lock.acquire(), threading.RLock.acquire() and socket operations now
use a monotonic clock, instead of the system clock, when a timeout is used.
Patch by Milan Oberkirch, developed as part of his 2014 GSOC project.
Note that this also fixes a bug in mock_socket ('getpeername' was returning a
simple string instead of the tuple required for IPvX protocols), a bug in
DebugServer with respect to handling binary data (should have been fixed when
decode_data was introduced, but wasn't found until this patch was written),
and a long-standing bug in DebugServer (it was printing an extra blank line at
the end of the displayed message text).
name, and use it in the representation of a generator (``repr(gen)``). The
default name of the generator (``__name__`` attribute) is now get from the
function instead of the code. Use ``gen.gi_code.co_name`` to get the name of
the code.
Otherwise smtpd is restricted to 7bit clean data, since even if the
incoming data is actually utf-8, it will often break things to decode
it before parsing the message.
Patch by Maciej Szulik, with some adjustments (mostly the warning
support).
