because (essentially) I didn't realise that PY_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS
actually expanded to nothing under a no-threads build, so if you somehow
NULLed out the threadstate (e.g. by calling PyThread_SaveThread) it would
stay NULLed when you return to Python. Argh!
Backport candidate.

* Remove future division import from test suite.
* Remove test suite's shadowing of __builtin__.dir().
PyNumber_Check, rather than trying to convert to a float. Reimplemented
writer - now raises exceptions when it sees a quotechar but neither
doublequote or escapechar are set. Doublequote results are now more
consistent (eg, single quote should generate """", rather than "",
which is ambiguous).
Python file/line when the current C execution frame is inside
PyEval_EvalFrame. These are commented out by default because GDB sometimes
crashes as a result (seems like a GDB bug).
Add a pyframe command that displays the current Python stack frame. If the
marked lines are uncommented, it will also cause Emacs/XEmacs to display the
current file/line.
_Thread.__init__) was never used. This is a waste since locks use OS
primitives that are in limited supply. So the lock is deleted in
_DummyThread.__init__ .
Closes bug #1089632.

directories) and the include directories specified in CPPFLAGS (``-I``
directories) for compiling the extension modules.
This has led to the core being compiled with the values in the shell's
CPPFLAGS. It has also removed the need for special casing to use Fink and
DarwinPorts under darwin since the needed directories can now be specified in
LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (e.g., DarwinPorts users can now do
``LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib; CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include; ./configure`` for
everything to work properly).
Parsing the values in the environment variables is done with getopt. While optparse
would have been a nicer solution it cannot be used because of dependency issues
at execution time; optparse uses gettext which uses struct which will not have
been compiled when the code is imported. If optparse ever makes its
importation of gettext optional by catching ImportError and setting _() to an
identity function then it can be used.
Improve signal handling, especially when using threads, by forcing an early
re-execution of PyEval_EvalFrame() "periodic" code when things_to_do is not
cleared by Py_MakePendingCalls().

work with core dumps because it avoids calling any Python API routines. The
latter prints all the local variable values as well as the stack frames but
won't work with core dumps because it relies on _PyObject_Dump to print
variables.
__getitem__() methods: compute only the new spellings needed to satisfy
the given indexing object. This is purely an optimization (it should
have no effect on visible semantics).
showing that doctest's pdb.set_trace() support was dramatically broken.
doctest.py _OutputRedirectingPdb.trace_dispatch(): Return a local trace
function instead of (implicitly) None. Else interaction with pdb was
bizarre, noticing only 'call' events. Amazingly, the existing set_trace()
tests didn't care.
PyGILState_Ensure(): The fix in 2.4a3 for bug 1010677 reintroduced thread
shutdown race bug 225673. Repaired by (once again) ensuring the GIL is
held whenever deleting a thread state.
Alas, there's no useful test case for this shy bug. Four years ago, only
Guido could provoke it, on his box, and today only Armin can provoke it
on his box. I've never been able to provoke it (but not for lack of
trying!).
This is a critical fix for 2.3.5 too, since the fix for 1010677 got
backported there already and so also reintroduced 225673. I don't intend to
backport this fix. For whoever (if anyone) does, there are other thread
fixes in 2.4 that need backporting too, and I bet they need to happen first
for this patch to apply cleanly.
In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
Briefly (from the NEWS file):
- Updates for the email package:
+ All deprecated APIs that in email 2.x issued warnings have been removed:
_encoder argument to the MIMEText constructor, Message.add_payload(),
Utils.dump_address_pair(), Utils.decode(), Utils.encode()
+ New deprecations: Generator.__call__(), Message.get_type(),
Message.get_main_type(), Message.get_subtype(), the 'strict' argument to
the Parser constructor. These will be removed in email 3.1.
+ Support for Python earlier than 2.3 has been removed (see PEP 291).
+ All defect classes have been renamed to end in 'Defect'.
+ Some FeedParser fixes; also a MultipartInvariantViolationDefect will be
added to messages that claim to be multipart but really aren't.
+ Updates to documentation.
its documentation.
* Documented that the compiled re methods are supposed to be more full
featured than their simpilified function counterparts.
* Documented the existing start and stop position arguments for the
findall() and finditer() methods of compiled regular expression objects.
* Added an optional flags argument to the re.findall() and re.finditer()
functions. This aligns their API with that for re.search() and
re.match().
today. pyconfig.h can override it if not, and can also override
Py_IS_INFINITY now. Py_IS_NAN and Py_IS_INFINITY are overridden now
for Microsoft compilers, using efficient MS-specific spellings.
When an integer is compared to a float now, the int isn't coerced to float.
This avoids spurious overflow exceptions and insane results. This should
compute correct results, without raising spurious exceptions, in all cases
now -- although I expect that what happens when an int/long is compared to
a NaN is still a platform accident.
Note that we had potential problems here even with "short" ints, on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8. There's #ifdef'ed code here to handle that, but
I can't test it as intended. I tested it by changing the #ifdef to
trigger on my 32-bit box instead.
I suppose this is a bugfix candidate, but I won't backport it. It's
long-winded (for speed) and messy (because the problem is messy). Note
that this also depends on a previous 2.4 patch that introduced
_Py_SwappedOp[] as an extern.
Suggested settings are commented out and included at the end of the file.
The goal is to have this file prevent as much as possible from deviating from the style guidelines. It is not meant to collect every cool macro possible for Python. Any useful settings for features included with Vim can be included and commented out, but anything overly extraneous should be left out.
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.
SF patch #1015989
The basic idea of this patch is to compute lineno attributes for all AST nodes. The actual
implementation lead to a lot of restructing and code cleanup.
The generated AST nodes now have an optional lineno argument to constructor. Remove the
top-level asList(), since it didn't seem to serve any purpose. Add an __iter__ to ast nodes.
Use isinstance() instead of explicit type tests.
Change transformer to use the new lineno attribute, which replaces three lines of code with one.
Use universal newlines so that we can get rid of special-case code for line endings. Use
lookup_node() in a few more frequently called, but simple com_xxx methods(). Change string
exception to class exception.
This checkin is adapted from part 2 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY: SHIFT must now be divisible by 5. AFAIK,
nobody will care. long_pow() could be complicated to worm around that,
if necessary.
long_pow():
- BUGFIX: This leaked the base and power when the power was negative
(and so the computation delegated to float pow).
- Instead of doing right-to-left exponentiation, do left-to-right. This
is more efficient for small bases, which is the common case.
- In addition, if the exponent is large (more than FIVEARY_CUTOFF
digits), precompute [a**i % c for i in range(32)], and go left to
right 5 bits at a time.
l_divmod():
- The signature changed so that callers who don't want the quotient,
or don't want the remainder, can pass NULL in the slot they don't
want. This saves them from having to declare a vrbl for unwanted
stuff, and remembering to decref it.
long_mod(), long_div(), long_classic_div():
- Adjust to new l_divmod() signature, and simplified as a result.
This checkin is adapted from part 1 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.
x_mul()
- sped a little by optimizing the C
- sped a lot (~2X) if it's doing a square; note that long_pow() squares
often
k_mul()
- more cache-friendly now if it's doing a square
KARATSUBA_CUTOFF
- boosted; gradeschool mult is quicker now, and it may have been too low
for many platforms anyway
KARATSUBA_SQUARE_CUTOFF
- new
- since x_mul is a lot faster at squaring now, the point at which
Karatsuba pays for squaring is much higher than for general mult
Mac-specific modules. Before all modules were compiled but would fail thanks
to a dependence on the code included when Python was built without the compiler
flag.
