Georg Brandl 2b869943fa Patch #1675423: PyComplex_AsCComplex() now tries to convert an object

can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method.

Gregory P. Smith 90fd76a2b4 Its time to stop listing (Unix, Windows) when we really mean "everything but Mac OS 9"
now that nobody is likely to use Python on Mac OS 9 and most of the (Mac) platform
items are all OS X special API specific since OS X is unixy enough for these modules
to be available out of the box.

Lars Gustäbel c64e40215d This is the implementation of POSIX.1-2001 (pax) format read/write
support.

The TarInfo class now contains all necessary logic to process and
create tar header data which has been moved there from the TarFile
class. The fromtarfile() method was added. The new path and linkpath
properties are aliases for the name and linkname attributes in
correspondence to the pax naming scheme.

The TarFile constructor and classmethods now accept a number of
keyword arguments which could only be set as attributes before (e.g.
dereference, ignore_zeros). The encoding and pax_headers arguments
were added for pax support. There is a new tarinfo keyword argument
that allows using subclassed TarInfo objects in TarFile.

The boolean TarFile.posix attribute is deprecated, because now three
tar formats are supported. Instead, the desired format for writing is
specified using the constants USTAR_FORMAT, GNU_FORMAT and PAX_FORMAT
as the format keyword argument. This change affects TarInfo.tobuf()
as well.

The test suite has been heavily reorganized and partially rewritten.
A new testtar.tar was added that contains sample data in many formats
from 4 different tar programs.

Some bugs and quirks that also have been fixed:
Directory names do no longer have a trailing slash in TarInfo.name or
TarFile.getnames().
Adding the same file twice does not create a hardlink file member.
The TarFile constructor does no longer need a name argument.
The TarFile._mode attribute was renamed to mode and contains either
'r', 'w' or 'a'.

Georg Brandl 871f1bc601 Backport from Py3k branch:
Patch #1591665: implement the __dir__() special function lookup in PyObject_Dir.

in Py2.6.

Brett Cannon a30fcb4dae Introduce test.test_support.TransientResource. It's a context manager to
surround calls to resources that may or may not be available.  Specifying the
expected exception and attributes to be raised if the resource is not available
prevents overly broad catching of exceptions.

This is meant to help suppress spurious failures by raising
test.test_support.ResourceDenied if the exception matches.  It would probably
be good to go through the various network tests and surround the calls to catch
connection timeouts (as done with test_socket_ssl in this commit).

Jeremy Hylton 759410b372 Do not copy free variables to locals in class namespaces.
Fixes bug 1569356, but at the cost of a minor incompatibility in
locals().  Add test that verifies that the class namespace is not
polluted.  Also clarify the behavior in the library docs.

Along the way, cleaned up the dict_to_map and map_to_dict
implementations and added some comments that explain what they do.

Brett Cannon 129bd52146 No more raising of string exceptions!
The next step of PEP 352 (for 2.6) causes raising a string exception to trigger
a TypeError.  Trying to catch a string exception raises a DeprecationWarning.
References to string exceptions has been removed from the docs since they are
now just an error.

Georg Brandl 4873fb2bac Improve markup in PyUnicode_RichCompare. 2006-08-14 12:36:06 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 040f76b79c Slightly revised version of patch #1538956:
Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.

All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.

Neal Norwitz 8a87f5d37e Patch #1538606, Patch to fix __index__() clipping.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments.  This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward.  I don't want this to hold up release if possible.

Andrew M. Kuchling 956597f4ef Reorganize the docs for 'file' and 'open()' after some discussion with Fred.
We want to encourage users to write open() when opening a file, but
open() was described with a single paragraph and
'file' had lots of explanation of the mode and bufsize arguments.

I've shrunk the description of 'file' to cross-reference to the 'File
objects' section, and to open() for an explanation of the arguments.

open() now has all the paragraphs about the mode string.  The bufsize
argument was moved up so that it isn't buried at the end; now there's
1 paragraph on mode, 1 on bufsize, and then 3 more on mode.  Various
other edits and rearrangements were made in the process.

It's probably best to read the final text and not to try to make sense
of the diffs.

re-apply xmlcore changes to xml:
  41674        - line ending changes (re-applied manually), directory props

Barry Warsaw 00decd7835 Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py,
inspect.py, and pydoc.py.  Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.

This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType.  Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor().  The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.

The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.

I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:

1. Silence is assent.  The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
   people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".

2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
   forcing function. :)

Windows build patches will follow.

Barry Warsaw b110bad2d9 More RFC 2231 improvements for the email 4.0 package. As Mark Sapiro rightly
points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this
RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded
parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the
same way and that isn't correct.

This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are
%-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are
any encoded params in the segments.  If there are no encoded params then the
RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts.

Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in
some cases.  For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param
continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method
(with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string.  I don't
believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the
documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is
possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate
between the two.  (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/
without breaking code.)

Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.

Brett Cannon caebe22038 Fix bug #1520914. Starting in 2.4, time.strftime() began to check the bounds

within the valid range.  Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.
