Mark Dickinson 154b7ad07e Issue #1530559: When packing a non-integer with any integer conversion
code using struct.pack, attempt to convert to an integer first using
the argument's __int__ method (if present).  Also raise a
DeprecationWarning for any such usage of __int__.

This fixes a regression from 2.6, where some (but not all) integer
conversion codes already used __int__.

Georg Brandl dc3694bee0 Rename "exc_value" attribute on assertRaises context manager to "exception". 2010-02-07 17:02:22 +00:00
Ronald Oussoren ab3f5cbabd A number of APIs in macostools cannot work in 64-bit mode because they
use Carbon APIs that aren't available there.

This patch disables tests for the affected entrypoints in macostools and
mentions this in the documentation.

In theory it is possible to replace the implementation by code that does
work in 64-bit mode, but that would require further updates to the Carbon
wrappers because the modern APIs aren't wrapped properly.

Brett Cannon 6fdd3dcb6a DeprecationWarning is now silent by default.
This was originally suggested by Guido, discussed on the stdlib-sig mailing
list, and given the OK by Guido directly to me. What this change essentially
means is that Python has taken a policy of silencing warnings that are only
of interest to developers by default. This should prevent users from seeing
warnings which are triggered by an application being run against a new
interpreter before the app developer has a chance to update their code.

Closes issue #7319. Thanks to Antoine Pitrou, Ezio Melotti, and Brian Curtin
for helping with the issue.
