Neal Norwitz df8b47fc80 SF #665913, Fix mmap module core dump with unix
Closing an mmap'ed file (calling munmap) twice on Solaris caused a core dump.
2003-01-10 20:57:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 0bf60bd67f Utterly minimal changes to collapse datetimetz into datetime, and timetz
into time.  This is little more than *exporting* the datetimetz object
under the name "datetime", and similarly for timetz.  A good implementation
of this change requires more work, but this is fully functional if you
don't stare too hard at the internals (e.g., right now a type named
"datetime" shows up as a base class of the type named "datetime").  The
docs also need extensive revision, not part of this checkin.

Jack Jansen 05d284b7aa Made "ascii" the default encoding for MacPython, as suggested by MvL, and ripped out my previous changes to test_unicode. Doing this for 2.3a1 should give people enough time to complain, if they want to, and then we can see whether we want to do anything about it. 2003-01-08 16:29:17 +00:00

Tim Peters 75a6e3bd1a datetime_from_timet_and_us(): ignore leap seconds if the platform
localtime()/gmtime() insists on delivering them, + associated doc
changes.

Redid the docs for datetimtez.astimezone().
2003-01-04 18:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters adf642038e A new implementation of astimezone() that does what we agreed on in all
cases, plus even tougher tests of that.  This implementation follows
the correctness proof very closely, and should also be quicker (yes,
I wrote the proof before the code, and the code proves the proof <wink>).

Skip Montanaro 950cdacfa5 Moved this info to the top-level README where all the other

Neal Norwitz bb0246ac25 Fix SF #659228, 'realpath' function missing from os.path
Also added realpath = abspath for os2emx, similar to windows/mac
which also don't really implement realpath.

Backport candidate, I think?

David Goodger c633365b88 Updated (2.3 OK now) 2003-01-03 03:29:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 397301eccb The tzinfo methods utcoffset() and dst() must return a timedelta object
(or None) now.  In 2.3a1 they could also return an int or long, but that
was an unhelpfully redundant leftover from an earlier version wherein
they couldn't return a timedelta.  TOOWTDI.
2003-01-02 21:28:08 +00:00
Skip Montanaro 4abd5f0fce Allow list sort's comparison function to explicitly be None. See SF patch
661092.
2003-01-02 20:51:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 710fb1548a astimezone() internals: if utcoffset() returns a duration, complain if
dst() returns None (instead of treating that as 0).
2003-01-02 19:35:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 0123139d66 Added a section to record datetime changes. There's apparently going to

Tim Peters bbc5d1674b SF bug 660795: logging missing from Python 2.3a1 for Windows.
Added the logging package.  In the meantime, Neal Norwitz added a
test_logging.py to the std test suite, which would have caught this
oversight in the Windows installer.
2003-01-02 16:02:27 +00:00
Skip Montanaro decc6a47df Split OPT make variable into OPT and BASECFLAGS. The latter contains those
compiler flags which are necessary to get a clean compile.  The former is
for user-specified optimizer, debug, trace fiddling.  See patch 640843.

Add /sw/lib and /sw/include to setup.py search paths on Darwin to take
advantage of fink goodies.

Add scriptsinstall target to Makefile to install certain scripts from
Tools/scripts directory.

Skip Montanaro 6c5bc3457c Bernhard Herzog's paragraph and string-filling code. I've been using it for
a month or two with great success.  Barry may want to tweak it some, but I

out.

2002-12-29 20:14:11 +00:00
Tim Peters 4643bd9a9c Apparently FreeBSD enables some HW floating-point exceptions by default.
This can cause core dumps when Python runs.  Python relies on the 754-
(and C99-) mandated default "non-stop" mode for FP exceptions.  This
patch from Ben Laurie disables at least one FP exception on FreeBSD at
Python startup time.

Raymond Hettinger e11b510a5b SF 658405: calendar.py to rely on the datetime module instead of the time
module.

The code is shorter, more readable, faster, and dramatically increases the
range of acceptable dates.

Also, used the floor division operator in leapdays().

[#521782] unreliable file.read() error handling

  Document that sometimes a read() operation can return less data than
  what the user asked, if running in non-blocking mode.

Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Skip Montanaro 3bf99e3e87 Add support for binary pickles to the shelve module. In some situations
this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

Tim Peters 84c7a3f328 Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to say
whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
