Move the imports of Parser and Message inside the
message_from_string() and message_from_file() functions. This way
just "import email" won't suck in most of the submodules of the
package.
Note: this will break code that relied on "import email" giving you a
bunch of the submodules, but that was never documented and should not
have been relied on.
A possibility to deadlock (on the hidden import lock) was created here
in 2.3, seemingly when tempfile.py started to call functions in
random.py. The cure is "the usual": don't spawn threads as a side
effect of importing, when the spawned threads themselves do imports
(directly or indirectly), and the code that spawned the threads is
waiting for the threads to finish (they can't finish, because they're
waiting for the import lock the spawner still holds). Worming around
this is why the "test_main" mechanism was introduced in regrest, so
it's a straightforward fix.
NOT a bugfix candidate; the problem was introduced in 2.3.
module used in the Zope TAL implementation. The bug was already fixed
in the Python standard library, but the regression test would be good
to keep around.
XML_Parser, which happens to be a pointer type, not an XML_Parser*.
This generated warnings when compiled with Expat 1.95.5, which no
longer defines XML_Parser to be void*.
This adds new methods heading(), setheading(), position(),
window_width(), window_height(), setx(), and sety(), to make this more
functionality-compatible with Logo turtle graphics (Attila's last
words, not mine :-). I had to fix the sety() code which was broken in
Attila's patch.
I'm not adopting the functionality change that Attila claimed was a
bugfix (no output without tracing), because I disagree that it's a
bug.
fairly large, most are caused by reformatting section and subsection
headings. The changes fall into the following categories:
* reformatted section and subsection headers.
* escaped isolated asterisks which would be interpreted as starting bold
or italic text (e.g. "void (*)(PyObject \*)").
* quoted stuff that looks like internal references but isn't
(e.g. ``PyCmp_``).
* changed visually balanced quotes to just use apostrophes
(e.g. "'string'" instead of "`string'").
* introduced and indenting multiline chunks of code.
* created one table (search for "New codecs").
This fixes the charming, but unhelpful error message for
>>> pickle.dumps(type.__new__)
Can't pickle <built-in method __new__ of type object at 0x812a440>: it's not the same object as datetime.math.__new__
