least as big as a long. I believe this to be a safe assumption that is being
made in many parts of CPython, but a check could be added.
len(xrange(sys.maxint)) works now, so fix the testsuite's odd exception for
64-bit platforms too. It also fixes 'zip(xrange(sys.maxint), it)' as a
portable-ish (if expensive) alternative to enumerate(it); since zip() now
calls len(), this was breaking on (real) 64-bit platforms. No additional
test was added for that behaviour.
adds the following API calls: PySet_Clear(), _PySet_Next(), and
_PySet_Update(). The latter two are considered non-public. Tests and
documentation (for the public API) are included.
This will hopefully get rid of some Coverity warnings, be a hint to
developers, and be marginally faster.
Some asserts were added when the type is currently known, but depends
on values from another function.
This is a heavily altered derivative of SF patch 1123430, Evan
Jones's heroic effort to make obmalloc return unused arenas to
the system free(), with some heuristic strategies to make it
more likley that arenas eventually _can_ be freed.
PyObject_Unicode(). This problem was originally reported from Coverity
and addresses mail on python-dev "checkin r43015".
This inlines the conversion of the string to unicode and cleans
up/simplifies some code at the end of the PyObject_Unicode().
We really need a complete C API test module for all public APIs
and passing good and bad parameter values.
Will backport.
there)
- Add missing DECREFs of inner-scope 'temp' variable
- Add various missing DECREFs by changing 'return NULL' into 'goto onError'
- Avoid double DECREF when last _PyUnicode_Resize() fails
Coverity found one of the missing DECREFs, but oddly enough not the others.
Anyway, this is the changes to the with-statement
so that __exit__ must return a true value in order
for a pending exception to be ignored.
The PEP (343) is already updated.
added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception. It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style. KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly. String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.
Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
- New semantics for __exit__() -- it must re-raise the exception
if type is not None; the with-statement itself doesn't do this.
(See the updated PEP for motivation.)
- Added context managers to:
- file
- thread.LockType
- threading.{Lock,RLock,Condition,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore}
- decimal.Context
- Added contextlib.py, which defines @contextmanager, nested(), closing().
- Unit tests all around; bot no docs yet.
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
