Two character years are now converted to four character years using
the Posix standard rule (<68 == 2000, >=68==1900). This makes the
parsed date RFC2822 compliant even if the input is not.
Patch and test by Jeffrey Finkelstein.
original read request had been satisfied, which can block indefinitely
when the underlying raw IO channel is e.g. a socket. Report and original
patch by Jason V. Miller.
The RFCs encourage following Postel's law: be liberal in what you accept.
So if someone forgot to pad the base64 encoded word payload to an
even four bytes, we add the padding before handing it to base64mime.decode.
Previously, missing padding resulted in a HeaderParseError.
Patch by Jason Williams.
An argparse option parser created with a prefix_chars that did not
include a '-' would happily add -h and --help options, and then throw
an error when it tried to format the help because the - was an invalid
prefix character. This patch makes it use the first character of
prefix_chars as the character for the help options if and only if '-'
is not one of the valid prefix_chars.
Fix by Theodore Turocy, unit tests by Catherine Devlin.
Cmd used to blindly chop off the last character of every input line. If
the input reached EOF and there was no final new line, it would truncate
the last character of the last command. This fix instead strips trailing
\r\n from the input lines. While this is a small behavior change, it
should not break any working code, since feeding a '\r\n' terminated
file to Cmd would previously leave the \r's on the lines, resulting
in failed command execution.
I wrote the unit test in preparation for a PyOhio TeachMe session
run by Catherine Devlin, and we can thank Catherine and the PyOhio
session attendees for the fix. I've added Catherine to the Acks file
for organizing and leading the TeachMe session, out of which we will
hopefully get some new contributors.
Added Windows support for os.symlink when run on Windows 6.0 or greater,
aka Vista. Previous Windows versions will raise NotImplementedError
when trying to symlink.
Includes numerous test updates and additions to test_os, including
a symlink_support module because of the fact that privilege escalation
is required in order to run the tests to ensure that the user is able
to create symlinks. By default, accounts do not have the required
privilege, so the escalation code will have to be exposed later (or
documented on how to do so). I'll be following up with that work next.
Note that the tests use ctypes, which was agreed on during the PyCon
language summit.
