present and the caller has not specified a name/password pair. This change
makes it less likely that a lazy coder will expose sensitive information in a
word-readable script.
Also, make the test a bit smarter. If NNTPSERVER is defined in the environment
it will go talk to that server rather than look for a possibly nonexistent
local one named 'news'. Maybe the osession initializer ought to look at
NNTPSERVER rather than requiring a host arg? Must look around and see how
universal this convention is first.
time in http://www.python.org/dev/doc/. There have been no bug
reports on these for a long time now.
- Remove local "use" statement that duplicates a top-level "use".
The two long lines have been reflowed differently; hopefully someone on
BeOS can test them. Rev. 1.53 also converted string.atoi() to int(); I've
left that alone.
Added design notes in comments.
Used better variable names.
Eliminated the unsavory "pool[-k:]" which was an aspiring bug (for k==0).
Used if/else to show the two algorithms in parallel style.
Added one more test assertion.
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value
This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.
contains options, drop them to get the major/minor content type.
Modified from the supplied patch to support more whitespace variation.
Closes SF patch #613605.
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for
SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher
slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation. The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone! OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty. Better
than a core dump.
This changes sys.version under Microsoft builds to include the MS compiler
version number (_MSC_VER). Since VC 6 and VC 7 are apparently
incompatible, and both can be installed on a single box, distutils needs
some way to figure out which version of MSVC a given Python was compiled
under.
As also suggested by MvL, got rid of #ifdef'ery for the defunct _M_ALPHA
target.
Bugfix candidate? Hard to say. As far as I'm concerned, VC 7 wasn't
a supported platform in the 2.2 line. If somebody thinks it should be,
they can do the work.
