file position when calling `truncate()`. It would previously change the
file position to the given argument, which goes against the tradition of
ftruncate() and other truncation APIs. Patch by Pascal Chambon.
:class:`zipfile.ZipExtFile` class used to represent files stored inside
an archive. The new implementation is significantly faster and can
be wrapped in a :class:`io.BufferedReader` object for more speedups.
It also solves an issue where interleaved calls to `read()` and
`readline()` give wrong results. Patch by Nir Aides.
private memory allocation scheme in dtoa.c, along with a piece of code
that caches powers of 5 for future use. This makes it easier to
detect dtoa.c memory leaks with Valgrind or similar tools.

- Issue #7714: Use ``gcc -dumpversion`` to detect the version of GCC on
MacOSX.
- Make configure look for util.h as well as libutil.h. The former
is the header file that on OSX contains the defition of openpty.
(Needed to compile for OSX 10.4 on OSX 10.6)
- Use the correct definition of CC to compile the pythonw executable
could crash in many places because of the PyByteArray_AS_STRING() macro
returning NULL. The macro now returns a statically allocated empty
string instead.
Also remove some now unused variables, and add comments clarifying the
possible outputs of the parsing section of _Py_dg_strtod. Thanks
Eric Smith for reviewing.
headers in multipart/signed MIME parts, which fixes one of the sources of
invalid modifications to such parts by Generator. Patch and tests by
Martin von Gagern.
Py3K warnings are DeprecationWarning by default this was causing -3 to
essentially be a no-op. Now DeprecationWarning is only silenced if -3 is not
used.
Closes issue #7700. Thanks Ezio Melotti and Florent Xicluna for patch help.
This was originally suggested by Guido, discussed on the stdlib-sig mailing
list, and given the OK by Guido directly to me. What this change essentially
means is that Python has taken a policy of silencing warnings that are only
of interest to developers by default. This should prevent users from seeing
warnings which are triggered by an application being run against a new
interpreter before the app developer has a chance to update their code.
Closes issue #7319. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou, Ezio Melotti, and Brian Curtin
for helping with the issue.
renaming of `cPickle` to `pickle`. The warning was annoying since there's
no alternative to cPickle if you care about performance. Patch by Florent
Xicluna.
