Error messages when pass keyword arguments to some builtins that
don't support keyword arguments contained double parenthesis: "()()".
The regression was introduced by bpo-30534.
PyString_Concat() and PyString_ConcatAndDel() (the name PyUnicode_Concat()
was already taken).
Change PyObject_Repr() to always return a unicode object.
Update all repr implementations to return unicode objects.
Add a function PyObject_ReprStr8() that calls PyObject_Repr() and converts
the result to an 8bit string.
Use PyObject_ReprStr8() where using PyObject_Repr() can't be done
straightforward.
I banged on the code (beyond what's in that branch) to make fewer tests fail;
the only tests that fail now are:
test_descr -- can't pickle ints?!
test_pickletools -- ???
test_socket -- See python.org/sf/1619659
test_sqlite -- ???
I'll deal with those later.
variations of the type struct and its attachments. In Py3k, all type
structs have to have all fields -- no binary backwards compatibility.
Had to change the complex object to a new-style number!
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
raising an exception. This is consistent with calling the
constructors for the other builtin types -- called without argument
they all return the false value of that type. (SF patch #724135)
