objects to save in gc.garbage. This should be the last change needed to
fix SF bug 477059: "__del__ on new classes vs. GC".
Note that this change slightly changes the behavior of the collector.
Before, if a cycle was found that contained instances with __del__
methods then all instance objects in that cycle were saved in
gc.garbage. Now, only objects with __del__ methods are saved in
gc.garbage.
When moving objects with a __del__ attribute to a special list, look
for __del__ on new-style classes with the HEAPTYPE flag set as well.
(HEAPTYPE means the class was created by a class statement.)
to lists of values, giving the contents of all the ADD_INFO records
seen so far. This is initialized agressively when the log file is
opened, so that whoever is looking at the log reader can always see
the initial data loaded into the data stream. ADD_INFO events later
in the log file continue to be reported to the application layer as
before.
Add a new method, addinfo(), to the profiler. This can be used to
insert additional ADD_INFO records into the profiler log.
Fix the tp_flags and tp_name slots on the type objects.
"socket.socket" -- on Windows, "socket.socket" is the wrapper class.
Also added the module name to the SSL type (which is not a new-style
class -- I don't want to mess with it yet).
constructor acts just like socket() before. All three arguments have
a sensible default now; socket() is equivalent to
socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM).
One minor issue: the socket() function and the SocketType had
different doc strings; socket.__doc__ gave the signature,
SocketType.__doc__ gave the methods. I've merged these for now, but
maybe the list of methods is no longer necessary since it can easily
be recovered through socket.__dict__.keys(). The problem with keeping
it is that the total doc string is a bit long (34 lines -- it scrolls
of a standard tty screen).
Another general issue with the socket module is that it's a big mess.
There's pages and pages of random platform #ifdefs, and the naming
conventions are totally wrong: it uses Py prefixes and CapWords for
static functions. That's a cleanup for another day... (Also I think
the big starting comment that summarizes the API can go -- it's a
repeat of the docstring.)
error occurs, and doesn't return a count. (This is my second patch
from SF patch #474307, with small change to the docstring for send().)
2.1.2 "bugfix" candidate.
Replace some tortuous code that was trying to be clever but forgot to
DECREF the key and value, by more longwinded but obviously correct
code.
(Inspired by but not copying the fix from SF patch #475033.)
STRICT_SYSV_CURSES when compiling curses module on HP/UX. Generalize
access to _flags on systems where WINDOW is opaque. Fixes bugs
#432497, #422265, and the curses parts of #467145 and #473150.
strings, not C strings)
removed USE_PYTHON defines, and related sre.py helpers
skip calling the subx helper if the template is callable.
interestingly enough, this means that
def callback(m):
return literal
result = pattern.sub(callback, string)
is much faster than
result = pattern.sub(literal, string)
removed (conceptually flawed) getliteral helper; the new sub/subn code
uses a faster code path for literal replacement strings, but doesn't
(yet) look for literal patterns.
added STATE_OFFSET macro, and use it to convert state.start/ptr to
char indexes
Allow passing strings to the .border() method
Correct some error messages ("1 or 4" -> "1 to 4")
Bump version number
Tweak code formatting
Update my e-mail address
This adds unsetenv to posix, and uses it in the __delitem__ method of
os.environ.
(XXX Should we change the preferred name for putenv to setenv, for
consistency?)
This was submitted by Moshe, but apparently he's too busy to check it
in himself. He wrote:
Here is a function in GNU readline called add_history,
which is used to manage the history list. Though Python
uses this function internally, it does not expose it to
the Python programmer. This patch adds direct interface
to this function with documentation.
This could be used by friendly modules to "seed" the
history with commands.
This is a big one, touching lots of files. Some of the platforms
aren't tested yet. Briefly, this changes the return value of the
os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the
time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into
pseudo-sequences. When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as
before. But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year. The
stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes
that are not available through the sequence interface (because
everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't
be added there). If your platform's struct stat doesn't define
st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python
either.
(Still missing is a documentation update.)
