messages about MRO conflicts. (The tweaks include correcting spelling
errors, some refactoring to get the name of classic classes, and a
style nit or two.)
long but the double is too big to fit in a long. Prevent that. This
closes some recent bug or patch on SF, but SF is down now so I can't
say which.
Bugfix candidate.
Py_Init crash". refchain cannot be cleared because objects can live across
Py_Finalize() and Py_Initialize() if they are kept alive by circular
references.
619475; also closing SF bug 618704). I tweaked his code a bit for
style.
This raises TypeError for MRO order disagreements, which is an
improvement (previously these went undetected) but also a degradation:
what if the order disagreement doesn't affect any method lookups?
I don't think I care.
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value
This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.
/* this is harder to get right than you might think */
angered some God somewhere. After noticing

I found that my cute test for the slice being empty failed due to
overflow. Fixed, and added simple test (not the above!).
classes was called with three arguments. This makes no sense, there's
no way to pass in the "modulo" 3rd argument as for __pow__, and
classic classes don't do this. [SF bug 620179]
I don't want to backport this to 2.2.2, because it could break
existing code that has developed a work-around. Code in 2.2.2 that
wants to use __ipow__ and wants to be forward compatible with 2.3
should be written like this:
def __ipow__(self, exponent, modulo=None):
...
macros. The 'op' argument is then the result from PyObject_MALLOC,
and that can of course be NULL. In that case, PyObject_Init[Var]
would raise a SystemError with "NULL object passed to
PyObject_Init[Var]". But there's nothing the caller of the macro can
do about this. So PyObject_Init[Var] should call just PyErr_NoMemory.
Will backport.
'%2147483647d' % -123 segfaults. This was because an integer overflow
in a comparison caused the string resize to be skipped. After fixing
the overflow, this could call _PyString_Resize() with a negative size,
so I (1) test for that and raise MemoryError instead; (2) also added a
test for negative newsize to _PyString_Resize(), raising SystemError
as for all bad arguments.
An identical bug existed in unicodeobject.c, of course.
Will backport to 2.2.2.
Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
between %s and %r.
because PyObject_Repr() and PyObject_Str() ensure that this can never
happen. Added a helpful comment instead.
sees a Unicode argument. Unfortunately this test was also executed
for %r, because %s and %r share almost all of their code. This meant
that, if u is a unicode object while repr(u) is an 8-bit string
containing ASCII characters, '%r' % u is a *unicode* string containing
only ASCII characters!
Fixed by executing the test only for %s.
Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
between %s and %r.
