Tim Peters 43898b4f64 SequenceMatcher.get_matching_blocks(): This now guarantees that
adjacent triples in the result list describe non-adjacent matching
blocks.  That's _nice_ to have, and Guido said he wanted it.

Not a bugfix candidate:  Guido or not ;-), this changes visible
endcase semantics (note that some tests had to change), and
nothing about this was documented before.  Since it was working
as designed, and behavior was consistent with the docs, it wasn't
"a bug".

46640 Patch #1454481:  Make thread stack size runtime tunable.
46647 Markup fix

The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
repairing them.  See python-dev discussion.

Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
problems, like

svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH

followed by merging rev 46647 to the new branch.

Andrew M. Kuchling 29d530b3ef [Bug #1472084] Fix description of do_tag 2006-06-03 18:09:41 +00:00
Tim Peters d609b1a20e pprint functions used to sort a dict (by key) if and only if
the output required more than one line.  "Small" dicts got
displayed in seemingly random order (the hash-induced order
produced by dict.__repr__).  None of this was documented.
Now pprint functions always sort dicts by key, and the docs
promise it.

This was proposed and agreed to during the PyCon 2006 core
sprint -- I just didn't have time for it before now.

Andrew M. Kuchling 07cf0722b3 Mention SimpleXMLRPCServer change 2006-05-31 14:12:47 +00:00
Andrew M. Kuchling 622f144175 [Bug #1473048]
SimpleXMLRPCServer and DocXMLRPCServer don't look at
the path of the HTTP request at all; you can POST or
GET from / or /RPC2 or /blahblahblah with the same results.
Security scanners that look for /cgi-bin/phf will therefore report
lots of vulnerabilities.

Fix: add a .rpc_paths attribute to the SimpleXMLRPCServer class,
and report a 404 error if the path isn't on the allowed list.

Possibly-controversial aspect of this change: the default makes only
'/' and '/RPC2' legal.  Maybe this will break people's applications
(though I doubt it).  We could just set the default to an empty tuple,
which would exactly match the current behaviour.
