* Use wider types (int => Py_ssize_t) to avoid integer overflows.
* Fix gc.get_freeze_count(): use Py_ssize_t type rather than int, since gc_list_size() returns a Py_ssize_t.
* Add tests for date subclass alternate constructors
* Switch over alternate date constructors to fast path
* Switch datetime constructors to fastpath, fix bpo-32404
* Add fast path for datetime in date subclass constructor
* Set fold in constructor in datetime.combine
* Add news entries.
bpo-29240: On FreeBSD, if the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" or "POSIX",
writing and reading non-ASCII bytes into/from a TTY works,
but readline or ncurses ignores non-ASCII bytes on read.
AttributeError was raised always when attribute is not found.
This commit skip raising AttributeError when `tp_getattro` is `PyObject_GenericGetAttr`.
It makes hasattr() and getattr() about 4x faster when attribute is not found.
* Add _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric() function: decode decimal_point and
thousands_sep fields of localeconv() from the LC_NUMERIC encoding,
rather than decoding from the LC_CTYPE encoding.
* Modify locale.localeconv() and "n" formatter of str.format() (for
int, float and complex to use _Py_GetLocaleconvNumeric()
internally.
Modify locale.localeconv(), time.tzname, os.strerror() and other
functions to ignore the UTF-8 Mode: always use the current locale
encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx(). On decoding or
encoding error, they return the position of the error and an error
message which are used to raise Unicode errors in
PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale().
* Replace _Py_DecodeCurrentLocale() with _Py_DecodeLocaleEx().
* PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() now uses _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() for all
cases, especially for the strict error handler.
* Add _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex(): return more information on decoding error
and supports the strict error handler.
* Rename _Py_EncodeUTF8_surrogateescape() to _Py_EncodeUTF8Ex().
* Replace _Py_EncodeCurrentLocale() with _Py_EncodeLocaleEx().
* Ignore the UTF-8 mode to encode/decode localeconv(), strerror()
and time zone name.
* Remove PyUnicode_DecodeLocale(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize()
and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() now ignore the UTF-8 mode: always use
the "current" locale.
* Remove _PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocale(),
_PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocaleAndSize() and
_PyUnicode_EncodeCurrentLocale().
`os.path.is*()` can return False if the file can't be accessed.
The behaviour is documented in details in `os.path.exists()`.
Link to `os.path.exists()` from `os.path.is*()`.
PyMemoryView_FromMemory() created a memoryview referring to
the internal data of the string. When the string is destroyed
the memoryview become referring to a freed memory.
In lexical analysis reference documentation, the internal link to
the string literal concatenation section was written as`.. _string-catenation:`.
Changed that to `.. _string-concatenation:`.
when serialize into memory buffer with C pickle implementations.
This optimization already is performed when serialize into memory
with Python pickle implementations or into a file with both
implementations.
Add new fuctions ignoring the UTF-8 mode:
* _Py_DecodeCurrentLocale()
* _Py_EncodeCurrentLocale()
* _PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocaleAndSize()
* _PyUnicode_EncodeCurrentLocale()
Modify the readline module to use these functions.
Re-enable test_readline.test_nonascii().
