threading.Lock.acquire(), threading.RLock.acquire() and socket operations now
use a monotonic clock, instead of the system clock, when a timeout is used.
Patch by Milan Oberkirch, developed as part of his 2014 GSOC project.
Note that this also fixes a bug in mock_socket ('getpeername' was returning a
simple string instead of the tuple required for IPvX protocols), a bug in
DebugServer with respect to handling binary data (should have been fixed when
decode_data was introduced, but wasn't found until this patch was written),
and a long-standing bug in DebugServer (it was printing an extra blank line at
the end of the displayed message text).
name, and use it in the representation of a generator (``repr(gen)``). The
default name of the generator (``__name__`` attribute) is now get from the
function instead of the code. Use ``gen.gi_code.co_name`` to get the name of
the code.
Otherwise smtpd is restricted to 7bit clean data, since even if the
incoming data is actually utf-8, it will often break things to decode
it before parsing the message.
Patch by Maciej Szulik, with some adjustments (mostly the warning
support).
Along the way, dismantle importlib._bootstrap._SpecMethods as it was
no longer relevant and constructing the new function required
partially dismantling the class anyway.
PyObject_Calloc(), _PyObject_GC_Calloc(). bytes(int) and bytearray(int) are now
using ``calloc()`` instead of ``malloc()`` for large objects which is faster
and use less memory (until the bytearray buffer is filled with data).
This makes doctest work like unittest: if the test case is empty, that
just means there are zero tests run, it's not an error. The existing
behavior was broken, since it only gave an error if there were *no*
docstrings, and zero tests run if there were docstrings but none of them
contained tests. So this makes it self-consistent as well.
