of multiple inheritance from a mix of new- and classic-style classes.
This is his patch, plus a start at some test cases from me. Will check
in more, plus a NEWS blurb, later tonight.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
message for bad mode argument -- so that it doesn't fail on Windows.
It's hack. We know that errno is set to 0 in this case on Windows, so
check for that specifically.
rfc822.py. The old rfc822.formatdate() produced date strings using
obsolete syntax. The new version produces the preferred RFC 2822
dates.
Also, an optional argument `localtime' is added, which if true,
produces a date relative to the local timezone, with daylight savings
time properly taken into account.
Fix contributed by Jeffrey C. Ollie.
I haven't tested the fix because the situation is non-trivial to
reproduce.
The basic solution is to get rid of the __current_realm attribute of
authentication handlers. Instead, prevent infinite retries by
checking for the presence of an Authenticate: header in the request
object that exactly matches the Authenticate: header that would be
added.
The problem prevent authentication from working correctly in the
presence of retries.
Ollie mentioned that digest authentication has the same problem and I
applied the same solution there.
Fix by Neil Schemenauer. Visit the Subscript node when trying to find
the operation for a statement.
XXX Not sure if there are other nodes that should be visited.
ntpath.join('a', '') was producing 'a' instead of 'a\\' as in 2.1.
Impossible to guess what was ever *intended*, but since split('a\\')
produces ('a', ''), I think it's best if join('a', '') gives 'a\\' back.
__getaddr(): Watch out for empty addresses that can happen when
something like "MAIL FROM:<CR>" is received. This avoids the
IndexError and rightly returns an SMTP syntax error.
parseargs(): We didn't handle the 2-arg case where both the localspec
and the remotespec were provided on the command line.
and NEWS. Bugfix candidate? That's a dilemma for Anthony <wink>: /F
did fix a longstanding bug here, but the fix can cause code to raise an
exception that previously worked by accident.
