"interpolation" in the text, to make the string formatting material easier to
find.
This closes SF bug #487165.
Bugfix: this should be applied for Python 2.2.1.
in response to Skip's comments in SF bug #487165.
Make use of string methods instead of string module functions in most places.
Add (and make the default) a way to collapse symbol entries into a single
"Symbols" section in the generated index. This is similar to what makeindex
does, but does not include entries beginning with an underscore.
Removed the ancient "#define ANY void".
Bugfix candidate? Hard call. The bug report claims the existence of
this #define creates conflicts with other packages, which is easy to
believe. OTOH, some extension authors may still be relying on its
presence. I'm afraid you can't win on this one.
eval_frame(): Under -Qnew, INPLACE_DIVIDE wasn't getting handed off to
INPLACE_TRUE_DIVIDE (like BINARY_DIVIDE was getting handed off to
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE).
Bugfix candidate.
(ditto for PyMem_Free() -> PyMem_FREE()) to fix and close SF bug
#495875 on systems that HAVE_SNPRINTF=0.
Check in on both release-22 branch and trunk.
Make dumbdbm merely "dumb", rather than "terminally broken". Without this
patch, it's almost impossible to use dumbdbm _without_ causing horrible
datalossage. With this patch, dumbdbm passes my own horrible torture test,
as well as the roundup test suite.
dumbdbm really could do with a smidgin of a rewrite or two, but that's not
suitable for the release21-maint branch.
rfc822.AddressList incorrectly handles empty address.
"<>" is converted to None and should be "".
AddressList.__str__() fails on None.
I got an email with such an address and my program
failed processing it.
Example:
>>> import rfc822
>>> rfc822.AddressList("<>").addresslist
[('', None)]
>>> str(rfc822.AddressList("<>"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.1/rfc822.py", line 753, in __str__
return ", ".join(map(dump_address_pair,
self.addresslist))
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, None found
[His solution: in the internal routine AddrlistClass.getrouteaddr(),
initialize adlist to "".]
Patch from Mark Hammond, plus code rearrangement and comments from me.
posix_do_stat(): Windows-specific code could try to free() stack
memory in some cases when a path ending with a forward or backward slash
was passed to os.stat().
metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose ob_type
is a subclass of PyType_Type, should be pickled the same as new-style
classes (objects whose ob_type is PyType_Type). This can't be done
through the existing dispatch switches, and the __reduce__ trick
doesn't work for these, since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for
instances of the class (inherited from PyBaseObject_Type). So check
explicitly using PyType_IsSubtype().
metaclass, reported by Dan Parisien.
Objects that are instances of custom metaclasses, i.e. whose class is
a subclass of 'type', should be pickled the same as new-style classes
(objects whose class is 'type'). This can't be done through a
dispatch table entry, and the __reduce__ trick doesn't work for these,
since it finds the unbound __reduce__ for instances of the class
(inherited from 'object'). So check explicitly using issubclass().
binascii_b2a_base64(): We didn't allocate enough buffer space for very
short inputs (e.g., a 1-byte input can produce a 5-byte output, but we
only allocated 2 bytes). I expect that malloc overheads absorbed the
overrun in practice, but computing a correct upper bound is a very simple
change.
