object.c, PyObject_Str: Don't try to optimize anything except exact
string objects here; in particular, let str subclasses go thru tp_str,
same as non-str objects. This allows overrides of tp_str to take
effect.
stringobject.c:
+ string_print (str's tp_print): If the argument isn't an exact string
object, get one from PyObject_Str.
+ string_str (str's tp_str): Make a genuine-string copy of the object if
it's of a proper str subclass type. str() applied to a str subclass
that doesn't override __str__ ends up here.
test_descr.py: New str_of_str_subclass() test.
When an extension imports another extension in its
initXXX() function, the variable _Py_PackageContext is
prematurely reset to NULL. If the outer extension then
calls Py_InitModule(), the extension is installed in
sys.modules without its package name. The
manifestation of this bug is a "SystemError:
_PyImport_FixupExtension: module <package>.<extension>
not loaded".
To fix this, importdl.c just needs to retain the old
value of _Py_PackageContext and restore it after the
initXXX() method is called. The attached patch does this.
This patch applies to Python 2.1.1 and the current CVS.
efficient:
- recurse down subclasses only once rather than for each affected
slot;
- short-circuit recursing down subclasses when a subclass has its own
definition of the name that caused the update_slot() calls in the
first place;
- inline collect_ptrs().
changing an application to collect profile data on one part of the
app while still making use of the profiled component, without relying
on side effects.
Added support for saving the names of the functions observed into the
profile log.
Added support for using the profiler to measure coverage without collecting
timing information (which is the slow part). Coverage logs can also be
substantially smaller than profiling logs where per-line information is
being collected.
Updated comments on the log format; corrected record type values in some
of the record descriptions.
Raise ValueError when an object contains an arbitrarily nested
reference to itself. (The previous fix just produced invalid
pickles.)
Solution is very much like Py_ReprEnter() and Py_ReprLeave():
fast_save_enter() and fast_save_leave() that tracks the fast_container
limit and keeps a fast_memo of objects currently being pickled.
The cost of the solution is moderately expensive for deeply nested
structures, but it still seems to be faster than normal pickling,
based on tests with deeply nested lists.
Once FAST_LIMIT is exceeded, the new code is about twice as slow as
fast-mode code that doesn't check for recursion. It's still twice as
fast as the normal pickling code. In the absence of deeply nested
structures, I couldn't measure a difference.
To whoever who changed a bunch of (PyCFunction) casts to
(PyNoArgsFunction) in PyMethodDef initializers: don't do that. The
cast is to shut the compiler up. The compiler wants the function
pointer initializer to be a PyCFunction.
"for <var> in <testlist> may no longer be a single test followed by
a comma. This solves SF bug #431886. Note that if the testlist
contains more than one test, a trailing comma is still allowed, for
maximum backward compatibility; but this example is not:
[(x, y) for x in range(10), for y in range(10)]
^
The fix involved creating a new nonterminal 'testlist_safe' whose
definition doesn't allow the trailing comma if there's only one test:
testlist_safe: test [(',' test)+ [',']]
failobj, and when getting the subtype use 'plain' as the failobj.
text/plain is supposed to be the default if the message contains no
Content-Type: header.
using the same algorithm as the slot updates. The slotdefs array is
now sorted by slot offset and has an interned string object corresponding
to the name added to each item. More can be done but I need to commit
this first as a working intermediate stage.
