This may be causing the debian sparc buildbot to fail.
Print a little message to let the user ^w buildbot know it's still thinking.
We may want to adjust the time period which is currently 5 minutes.
Will backport.
prepends the exception's module name to non-builtin exceptions, like
the interpreter itself does.
broke a number of doctests. should be discussed before checking in (see
discussion on python-dev).
bsddb.*open() methods cachesize parameter wouldn't work (raised an
internal bsddb.db exception when it was given). The set_cachesize
call needed to be moved from the DB object to the DBEnv since the env
was introduced to allow for threading.
(will backport to 2.4)
Using None for a filename with the 'n' flag when calling bsddb.btopen
would cause an error while checking if the file None existed. error
not likely to be seen as anyone using None for a filename would likely
use the 'c' flag in the first place.
"x86 OpenBSD trunk" buildbot due to changing Python so that
Python-exposed addresses are always non-negative.
test_int_pointer_arg(): This line failed now whenever the
box happened to assign an address to `ci` "with the sign
bit set":
self.failUnlessEqual(addressof(ci), func(byref(ci)))
The problem is that the ctypes addressof() inherited "all
addresses are non-negative now" from changes to
PyLong_FromVoidPtr(), but byref() did not inherit that
change and can still return a negative int.
I don't know whether, or what, the ctypes implementation wants
to do about that (possibly nothing), but in the meantime
the test fails frequently.
So, introduced a Python positive_address() function in
the test module, that takes a purported machine address and,
if negative, converts it to a non-negative value "with the
same bits". This should leave the test passing under all
versions of Python.
Belated thanks to Armin Rigo for teaching me the sick trick ;-)
for determining the # of bits in a machine pointer via abuse
of the struct module.
tests. Alas, because only the "x86 OpenBSD trunk" buildbot fails
these tests, and test_descr stops after the first failure, there's
no sane way for me to fix these short of fixing one and then
waiting for the buildbot to reveal the next one.
to that id() can now return a Python long on a 32-bit box that allocates
addresses "with the sign bit set".
test_set.py test_subclass_with_custom_hash(): it's never been portably
legal for a __hash__() method to return id(self), but on 32-bit boxes
that never caused a problem before it became possible for id() to
return a Python long. Changed __hash__ here to return a Python int
regardless of platform.
test_descr.py specials():
vereq(hash(c1), id(c1))
has never been a correct test -- just removed it (hash() is always
a Python int; id() may be a Python long).
default decimal context, causing test_tokenize to fail
if it ran after test_contextlib. Changed to restore
the decimal context in effect at the test's start.
soon after because the gmail address it connects to started timing
out on all the buildbot slaves. Rewrote the test to produce a
warning message (instead of failing) when the address times out.
Also removed the special case for Windows -- this test started to
work on Windows as soon as bug 1462352 was fixed.
If RTLD_LOCAL is not #defined in any header file (Windows), set it to 0.
If RTLD_GLOBAL is not #defined, set it equal to RTLD_LOCAL.
This should fix ctypes on cygwin.
