If a .pth file contained an error, it could cause a traceback in site.py,
terminating its processing. In 2.7 and 3.2, the interpreter will then not
start. Previously, a message would print saying to use -v to get the
traceback. In either case, the traceback generated for a failed .pth file did
not include the .pth filename, making it difficult to debug the problem. Now
site.py reports not only the .pth filename but also the line number causing the
error, and just skips the remainder of the file.
The RFC is bit hard to understand on this point, but the examples
clearly show that parameter values that are encoded according
to its charset/language rules don't have surrounding quotes, and
the ABNF does not allow for quotes. So when we produce such
encoded values, we no longer add quotes.
Previously passing a string in as the password would fail either with
an assertion error or a TypeError with a confusing error message.
Note that a string can't be accepted since zipfile has no way to
guess what encoding should be used to turn it into bytes.
Patch by Victor Stinner.
Such addresses are not RFC compliant except under the 'obsolete syntax'
rules, but before this fix the whitespace was dropped from the input,
concatenating the pieces. That breaks one of the principles of the
email package, that of preserving the input as much as possible.
It also denies the application program the opportunity to apply its
own heuristics to interpretation of such non-compliant addresses.
It is possible users of the email package were depending on the local
part always being a single token, so this fix will not be backported.
This provides access to the context menus where they previously could
not be accessed due to the way OSX Tk binds buttons. It also
improves platform consistency.
Patch by Ned Deily.
editline rl_initialize apparently discards any mappings done before it
is called, which makes tab revert to file completion instead of inserting
a tab. So now on OSX we call rl_initialize first if we are using
readline, and then re-read the users .editrc (if any) afterward so they
can still override our defaults.
Patch by Ned Deily, modified by Ronald Oussoren.
Passing the port as a string value works fine in regular mode, but
if you turned debug on it would throw an error trying to print the
port number, which is surprising and confusing.
Issue #7213: Change the close_fds default on Windows to better match the new
default on POSIX. True when possible (False if stdin/stdout/stderr are
supplied).
Update the documentation to reflect all of the above.
