[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads
although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.
Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.
A different interface to readline is used.
The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.
These changes are all a bit scary! Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
other
- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
and __init__ methods
- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
dictionary could be avoided without this change)
- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added
- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref
This closes SF patch #983019.
Fix memory leaks revealed by valgrind and ensuing code inspection.
In the existing test suite valgrind revealed two memory leaks (DB_get
and DBC_set_range). Code inspection revealed that there were many other
potential similar leaks (many on odd code error paths such as passing
something other than a DBTxn object for a txn= parameter or in the face
of an out of memory error). The most common case that would cause a
leak was when using recno or queue format databases with integer keys,
sometimes only with an exception exit.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.
If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.
New include file timefuncs.h exports private API function
_PyTime_DoubleToTimet() from timemodule.c. timemodule should export
some other functions too (look for painful bits in datetimemodule.c).
Added insane-argument checking to datetime's assorted fromtimestamp()
and utcfromtimestamp() methods. Added insane-argument tests of these
to test_datetime, and insane-argument tests for ctime(), localtime()
and gmtime() to test_time.
more than a second of precision. Primarily affects ctime, localtime, and
gmtime.
Closes bug #919012 thanks to Tim Peters' code.
Tim suggests that the new funciton being introduced, _PyTime_DoubletoTimet(),
should be added to the internal C API and then used in datetime where
appropriate. Not being done now for lack of time.
Beardsley.
If the seconds are different, we still need to calculate the differences
between milliseconds.
Also, on a Gentoo Linux (2.6.5) dual Athlon MP box with glibc 2.3,
time can go backwards. This probably happens when the process switches
the CPU it's running on. Time can also go backwards when running NTP.
If we detect a negative time delta (ie, time went backwards), return
a delta of 0. This prevents an illegal array access elsewhere.
I think it's safest to *not* update prev_timeofday in this case, so we
return without updating.
Backport candidate.
This fixes the problem and the test passes. I'm not sure
the test is really correct though. It seems like it would
be better to raise an exception. I think that wasn't done
for backwards compatability.
Bugfix candidate.
#!-scripts, only the filename part, and this can lead to incorrect
initialization of sys.path and sys.executable if there is another python
on $PATH before the one used in #!.
The fix was picked up from the darwinports crowd, thanks!
Added setbdaddr and makebdaddr.
Extended makesockaddr to understand Bluetooth addresses.
Changed getsockaddr to expect the Bluetooth addresses as a string,
not a six element tuple.
Reformatted some of the Bluetooth code to be more consistent with PEP 7.

- Move _PyUnicode_TypeRecord.flags to the end of the struct so that
no padding is added for UCS-4 builds. (Suggested by Martin v. Loewis)
[ 728330 ] Don't define _SGAPI on IRIX
The Right Thing would be nice, for now this'll do. At least it isn't
going to break anything *other* than IRIX...
(Code contributed by Jiwon Seo.)
The documentation portion of the patch is being re-worked and will be
checked-in soon. Likewise, PEP 289 will be updated to reflect Guido's
rationale for the design decisions on binding behavior (as described in
in his patch comments and in discussions on python-dev).
The test file, test_genexps.py, is written in doctest format and is
meant to exercise all aspects of the the patch. Further additions are
welcome from everyone. Please stress test this new feature as much as
possible before the alpha release.
